Jasper stared piercingly at the man before him. He was trying to process what Sabastian had said to him. How could he be his father. It was so improbable and yet Jasper believed what he said. And apparently, he had a mate as well. “Please forgive me, but did you say that I am your son?” Sabastian looked at Jasper with pride in his eyes. “Yes. I am not sure why you do not remember me, but I promise you once you come back and see the pack you will remember.”

Jasper went willingly with Sabastian to his wolf packs den. It was about ten miles up the mountainside. As soon as the two of them were through the trees and out of sight of prying eyes Sabastian changed into his wolf form. He looked at Jasper expectingly. He did not know how to change on cue, at least he thought. He closed his eyes and imagined himself transforming and just like that his body changed with little effort.

The two of them started running up the mountainside with Sabastian taking the lead. Jasper was deep in thought about where he had come from. If what Sabastian says is true, after all this time of being alone he will finally be part of a family. He wondered if like him that these people changed like him or did he start off as a wolf and somehow his genetic makeup got changed. He needed answers. He was tired of not knowing and he was growing more anxious with every passing step.

When they finally made it to the wolves’ den Jasper slowed to a trot taking in his surroundings. They were in some type of cave. The walls sparkled with blue and yellow gems and the ceiling hung with spikey rocks they gave off the appearance of teeth. There were more than a dozen people and wolves surrounding the surface of the cave talking and eating in a harmonious way. Then Jasper saw her. The beautiful woman from the ancient tome.

As he looked at her memories of the two of them came swarming back at a rapid pace. “Sylvia” he thought. This was the woman he was mated to. After all these years of never being able to recover any of his lost memories one look at her and his younger years came rushing back. He had more questions than answers. What caused him to leave her? Why would he turn his back on his pack? And most importantly what changed him into the being he was today?

A dark red light encircled Sabastian as he turned back into his human form. He then walked over to a stack of clothes in a corner of the cave and put some on. Then he turned to his people and said, “All of you must turn back into a human right this moment. Come on as quick as you can do not keep your Alfa waiting!” Jasper chose to stay in his wolf form for the time being. He was not ready for them to see who he was. Unlike Sylvia, he had not remembered anyone else. That still included his father Sabastian.

After the pack transformed, they all circled around the fire that was burning while Sabastian stood at the front facing them all. Jasper waited where he was watching to see what the Alfa had to say. “My people. Today is a glorious one for my only son has returned to us. Jasper, please change back so we can welcome you home!” The pack began whispering excitedly as Sylvia stared harshly at Jasper. Jasper closed his auburn eyes and changed back. He stood there for a few moments waiting for the pack to take his face in.

They all gasped when they saw that it was truly him. Instead of looking happy Sylvia growled and stormed over to him. Jasper tried to open his mouth and explain, but he could not. Any time he tried to tell anyone about what happened to him it was like a strange force preventing him from doing so. Once Sylvia was in front of Jasper, she looked deep into his eyes. With a hurt look in her eyes, she slapped Jasper across the face with all the strength she had.

“Jasper Monroe! How dare you show your face around here again!” Sylvia spat out angrily. “That is enough Sylvia. He is your mate, and you will show him some respect.” Sabastian said in his deep Alfa voice. Sylvia looked down at her feet. “Yes Alfa. Sorry Jasper. I lost control of myself please forgive me.”

Though Jasper did not know what drove him away from his pack he knew her anger was justified. “Do not be sorry Sylvia. I am the one in the wrong. I can not tell you where I have been or why I left for I do not know myself. Until I walked in here and saw you, I did not remember you. It is not you who needs forgiveness but me!”

For the next few hours, the pack bombarded Jasper with question after question. Most of them he had no answers for. Then Sabastian said that it was time to run as a pack to officially welcome Jasper back into the fold. Once they were all wolves once again, they exited the cave and began running. They had no need to run together. All of their minds were linked together. At first Jasper could not hear any of them but as they ran, he started hearing them one after the other.

It was a very strange sensation, It was less like words and more like feeling what they felt. As Jasper was running along, he noticed a man next to a mountain wall. He slowed to a stop so he could observe him further. The man was tracing his finger on the wall when he stopped the spot where he traced was glowing. It was the same spiral symbol that he bore on his arm. Another piece of the puzzle to solve.

    Jasper stood in the shadows of the trees observing the man before him. The strange symbol grew brighter before burning out completely. A few moments later the mountain wall began to shift ever so slightly. You would miss it if you were not looking directly at it. It made no sound, but it let off a kind of shimmer.The man took a few steps backwards as the wall began opening revealing a doorway in its place. The man entered as the opening started to close behind him. Jasper took off running as fast as his legs would carry him, yet it was no use. The mountain wall had sealed up back to its original form.Frustrated Jasper howled deep and loud, alerting the others in the pack to his distress. He had to calm himself down. He closed his eyes tightly and swiftly changed forms. He wondered to himself if all werewolves could change on demand and with such ease like his pack could. Or maybe it was just him. He pushed the thought away, a question for a different day.A few moments later Sabasti

    Jasper’s teeth hit their target dead on. The other wolf began to yip in forfeit. Jasper let him go and waited for him to change. Once he did, Jasper followed suit. “You are far more stronger than I remember! Let us talk and bury the hatchet.” This wolf knew he was no match for Jasper. So, the only thing he could do was bide his time and pretend to forgive. “Like I was saying I know not who you are, so I do not know of my wrong doings please enlighten me.” Jasper said innocently.“The name is Thane. A few centuries ago, you were the cause of my father’s death. I have never been able to forgive you for that. You told him that you wanted to meet to talk about our packs becoming one, but when he arrived at the place you were supposed to meet him a group of men attacked him. At the time he was in his wolf form and the members of our pack heard his cries of pain. We rushed to his location, but it was too late. That was also the last day anyone ever saw you again.”Jasper was dumbfounded. He

    Before the she wolf could attack Jasper Thane jumped and changed form in midair. He clenched his teeth into her hind leg causing her to fall flat on the ground. She yipped out in pain. Thane began growling, he was having a conversation with her that none of them could hear. A few moments later they both changed shape.“Please excuse my sister Andrea. Like me she wants nothing more than to avenge our father’s death. She did not know that we have called a truce.” Jasper waved his hand. “No blood no foul. Let us get on with the ritual and put this unnecessary violence behind us.”The ritual consisted of three parts. First, they had to say an oath. Then they sealed their bond in blood. Lastly, they run as a pack. It was all rather simple, but these rituals were not just mere words. It was a magic that a shaman passed on to them long ago. If any member of either pack broke this bond in anyway, they would be met with instant death. If any of them had ill intentions against another they woul

    The man stared at Jasper with his mouth agape. “How did you know the name of the order!” His skin started to glow, and Jasper took a step back. This man before him was suspicious of him now and had some murderous intentions at that moment. Thane put his hands in the air and said, “Woah calm down Burne. The Storm Rose pack is our pack. Let him explain how he knows of them before you go jumping to conclusions.” The aura around Burne dissipated and he said, “Yes Alfa. Please forgive me for not trusting you. Tell us how you know of their existence.”Even though he knew they were going to think he was insane he told them about the two men who came out of the mountain side. Thane surprised him by saying, “I believe what you are saying for I too have seen this strange magic before. It was roughly a century ago. I was taking out the cubs of the pack for their first transformation. When I caught a glimpse of a strange man in a robe. I saw the mountain open up and he disappeared into it. After

    The three of them followed the man into a large tent. Inside was nothing but a few chairs, a table, and what looked like an alchemy set. “Sit down at the table over there. By the way my name is Tomas, please tell me what do they call you. I am sure you do not wish for me to continue to call you shapeshifter.” Tomas said with certainty.“I am Jasper. Tell me Tomas, are you some type of scientist?” Tomas smiled slightly at him. “In a way you could say that I am. I am what most people would call a wizard if they believed such a thing existed. I am somewhat the shaman to the good people of this village. They know not about magic. They believe my healing and predictions come from the concoctions I make them, but in truth it is a type of earth magic. Now please lay your left arm across the table, and I will help you activate the sigil.Thane and Jasper were mystified. A sigil! Does that mean there was more to this symbol than meets the eye? A sigil was like a teleporter that could send you

    Jasper struggled against the hand-woven net with everything he had. He tried biting and clawing his way through the intricate ropes without any success. Four men in Dark blue robes surrounded him. Each one had a different celestial marking on the torso area of their robes. By the looks of them they were from the very order he was seeking to find.“Do not resist Mr. Monroe we mean you no harm. We are here to warn you about the man Tomas that you sought help from. He is not who you think he is. If you return with the ingredients he asked for, he will betray you, and possibly kill you and anyone with you. He has been trying for ages to find a way to the orders sacred meeting place. He seeks our knowledge so he can use it to rule over the entire populus. Heed our warning. The answers you so desperately seek will come to you in due time. Please have patience. The decision is yours to believe us or to believe Tomas.”As quickly as they arrived, they were gone in a flash.

    Jasper and Thane slowly backed away from the tent their eyes as big as moons inside their sockets. Once they were far enough away, they turned and hurried back to Borne. As soon as he saw them, he could tell something was wrong. “Alfa what is it? You look as though you have just seen a ghost.” Thane grabbed onto Borne’s shoulder and said, “We will explain after we get out of here. Let us go quickly before Tomas discovers we are back.”Borne was a bit confused but he did not hesitate to follow his alfa’s orders. Once they got about a mile away from the village Thane finally said, “That rat bastard! The members of The Order of The Supernatural were right. He planned to have us all killed. All he cares about is getting into their meeting place. Jasper and I overheard him inside his tent talking to someone. Once back to the pack we will decide on what to do about him!”Jasper abruptly stopped. “What is it brother?” Thane asked out of concern. Jasper said sadly, “I think I should go back t

    Tomas looked at Jasper with a confused gleam in his eye. “What do you know about that I don’t? You know nothing! It is a stalling technique, I am sure. Now let us get this over with. If you cooperate maybe I will not have to kill you. Besides you want answers yourself do you not?” Jasper continued smirking at Tomas.It was infuriating to Tomas. It only took a few moments to find out why Jasper was being so cocky. Out of nowhere a grey wolf came out of the shadows and plunged his sharp teeth into one of Tomas’s calves. He cried out in pain while he tried shaking the wolf off. Jasper took the opportunity to switch forms so he could join in the fight.Jasper’s head was still spinning in agony from the blow Tomas gave him the night before, so it took him a moment to realize the wolf who came to his rescue was none other than Borne. “Thane must have ordered him to go back to me after we parted ways.” Jasper thought to himself. Borne yipped in agreement. Jasper grabbed a hold of Tomas’s oth

    Jasper was not sure if the hunter named Hank would try and kill him here and now and he was starting to feel uncomfortable by the way the man was starring daggers at him. Lemont cleared his throat and said, “Calm down brother. The bloodsucker did not say we had to agree to it, it was just a request, and as far as I am concerned it is such a small thing and we should be able to agree. Now tell me, Jasper was it, tell me what makes you want to spare this child-d-d?” Jasper picked up on how hard it was for him to call the vampire a child. It seemed to him Lemont was willing enough to give into Jasper’s request and he figured he may as well tell them the whole truth about the child. Jasper took the next few moments explaining about her special gift. The three brothers all had different expressions on their face when Jasper was through. Lemont looked intrigued, Hank looked mortified, and Paul looked amused. Jasper had to suppress a laugh because looking at the three of them reminded him of

    What was going on here? Jasper was more confused than ever. Did Alec know Sylvia personally? And if he did does that mean Sylvia knew more about his past than she seemed to let on. Jasper spent the day studying the markings on the wall until he could see the images burned into his corneas when he closed his eye lids. He was impatient for Alec’s return so he could ask him how much about his mate he knew.Day sixOnce the sun disappeared for the night Jasper walked out of his cave and took a look around, annoyed that Alec had not shown up this evening. Not wanting to waste more time thinking about what he couldn’t control Jasper took his leave and headed for the hunter’s house. He hoped that they had not changed their minds and that they were still willing to help him. He planned on trying to talk them out of harming the vampire child, but he was not sure if that will go over well. He had to try though he knew he would never forgive himself if he didn’t after that it was out of his hand

    Jasper stood there wondering to himself if he should kill them all and shook the thought out of his head. He had an idea which could turn into him dying himself, but he figured his business here was done anyway so if he died prematurely oh well. He approached the man standing on the porch. You could see it in the man’s eyes he knew Jasper was a vampire, before the man could do anything about it Jasper raised his hands in front of him.Jasper gave the man a small smile and said, “I know all you want to do right now is grab your crossbow and destroy me, but I have a proposition for you. There is a whole coven of vampires you have been after to ages and I can help you take them out if you wish. Afterwards I will leave it up to you if you want to kill me or let me go, so what do you say?”The hunter in front of him started laughing hard before saying, “This is rich hahaha. Imagine a stinking blood sucker is offering his help to me. Paul get out here you are not going to believe this shit!

    Jasper braced himself for the onslaught of the clan’s attack. He knew he was much faster than them and he was stronger. Deep within him was the power of the wolf that no matter what shape or form he was in would always give him an advantage. He always knew he was better than the others of his kind no matter what creature he turned into, and he now realized it was because of his family’s blood. He promised himself he would try to not kill them, only incapacitate them.The leader of the clan who spoke to Jasper before was the first to attack. Jasper braced himself and just as the other vampire reached him, he pushed his hands out in front of him and sent the man flying into a nearby tree. You could here the tree tremble with the impact of the vampires body along with snapping of at least three of his bones. The vampires healed relatively quickly so Jasper would have to work fast if he could escape before they regained their strength.Jasper decided that his best strategy would be to run

    Jasper let out a huge puff of air. He was expecting this. He knew once the drake Marcel destroyed Ezmerelda that her clan would come for his blood. He knew he could not lie to them because of the exceptional gift the vampire child had. He went to go confront them when Alec grabbed him by the shoulder gesturing with his index finger for him to wait one minute. “Jasper I am worried that if you go out there you will die. Yes, I know you will come back as something else, and I also know I will not be able to talk you out of it. You have always been a man of honor and I know you will make sure they know why the vampire named Ezmerelda will never return to them. I want to help you handle them however I am not like you if I die, I will be gone for good. Tell me what you want me to do here. Whatever your choice is I will honor it.” Alec said with complete devotion. Jasper shook his head and said, “Alec this is not your fight. I would prefer if you left, I do not want you to wind up dead esp

    Jasper’s smile spread with every new memory that flooded back in. He was pleased to find that most of these memories were of his father and Sylvia. He also found that Alec had not lied to him he was indeed a very close friend. He was getting flashes of caves and members of the order of the supernatural, but he couldn’t hold on to them. They were just quick flashes after memories of Alec ran their course.He was surprised by how many memories there were of Alec. He guessed that they had know each other for a very long time. he began to wonder what exactly Alec was because no normal human could live as long as him and from his memories, he knew him back when he was still with his pack. Jasper was ecstatic by having some of who he was back but there was not enough to give him a full story. He found himself more frustrated than satisfied.Jasper opened his eyes once he was sure that he was not going to get anymore memories. The Oracle smiled at him and said, “Well child how do you feel?”

    Ezmerelda, startled, turned around slowly and cautious to find out what made the horrendous noise. As she laid er eyes on the humongous drake every inch of her body was paralyzed with pure terror. It took her a minute before she forced out, “By the Gods! What type of demon is this?” She was terrified and she had no idea what would cause this monster to have a such a problem with her.“Quite your tongue you foul dead creature. Jasper Monroe is now and will always be under my protection. What tries to harm him is just as if they mean harm to me. You have broken a sacred law and messed with the will of a precious soul. For that your punishment is death!” Not giving Ezmerelda a second to respond the drake rose into the air and blew out a waterfall of flames from his mouth onto her incinerating her instantly wiping her existence from this world.Jasper stared in wonder. “I see you were not kidding when you said you would know when trouble found me. I am deeply thankful for your rescue. I a

    Jasper wasted no time heading back to Ezmerelda. He bid farewell to the drake and ran until he was almost back to the entrance of the enchanted forest. As promised Ezmerelda was there waiting for him however the vampire child was not in sight. Jasper wondered if she was still here possibly hiding in the shadows to watch what Jasper does so, she can report any false hoods to Ezmerelda. “Where is the child?” Jasper asked curiously. Ezmerelda smiled and said, “I sent her home. I saw no reason for her to stick around and wait with me I prefer to be alone sometimes. So, were you successful in retrieving what I asked you to acquire?”Jasper pulled the artifact out of his pocket and showed it to her. “An even trade? I will hand you this at the same time you hand me the sapphire agreed?” Ezmerelda nodded and than she too pulled the gem from her pocket. They approached each other than exchanged their items. Ezmerelda smiled triumphantly. “Go ahead and take the old lady her gem I will wait for
