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. The rope entrapping
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 rushed over to Borne’s side. He knelt down and put his knees under Borne’s head lifting him up slightly. Not fully knowing what to do he said, “Do not worry brother I will shift forms and call for help.” Borne stopped him from doing so.Borne grunted and said weakly, “Have you forgotten that we are werewolves? I will heal in a matter of minutes. Tomas’s intentions were not to kill me. He took me to the brink of death so I could not follow after him. He also left a message for you. It is over there on that table. Go on I will be just fine.”Jasper gently rested Borne’s head back on the cold hard dirt before heading over to the paper folded up on the table. He straightened it out and began to read it out loud. “Jasper. I did not kill your friend this time, but if I do not get what I want from you I will begin killing off your pack one by one starting with your mate Sylvia. You have twenty-four hours to think it through than meet me at my tent in my village if you do not show ther
Thane’s face was full of forlorn. “It matters not. If Tomas was responsible for my father’s death he will pay for his crimes. For now, we need to protect our packs. Come let us decide on our next course of action!”Jasper was beginning to worry he would not be able to stop Tomas before his ten days were up. When he inevitably disappears again, what will happen to his mate? He had no way of telling her what was destined to happen in five days’ time.Jasper was lost in his own thoughts of days to come, while Sylvia, Sabastian, Thane, and Borne discussed what to do next. Jasper had not noticed when the four of them became quiet, waiting for an answer to a question he had not heard.“Jasper? Are you with us?” Thane asked concerned. “I am sorry I was somewhere else for a moment, what was the question?” Jasper said apologetically. Thane responded absentmindedly. “I asked if you are planning to meet Tomas tonight or are you going to do something different?” Jasper gave an uncomfortable sigh.
In a panic Jasper quickly turned to his wolf form and bent his snout down to sniff the bracelet. Urgh. He howled out in anger. Tomas did this, not like he did not know this already. His stench was all over Sylvia’s trinket. A wolf came over and had a silent conversation with Jasper. The wolf in question had a cut on his hind leg that was rapidly healing. Tomas attacked him and grabbed Sylvia.Jasper was not going to wait around for Tomas to hurt his mate, he took off straight for the tiny village. Once there he ran straight for the tent. He barged in and found Sylvia bound and unconscious in the corner.“Do not fret Mr. Jasper your mate is unharmed. I was not sure if you would heed my warning and show this evening, so I took matters into my own hands. Now how about you unlock the sigil and move on with your pathetic life!” Tomas came up behind him and said sneeringly.Jasper slowly started glowing and went back to being on two feet. “I love my mate with every fiber of my being, and I
Jasper’s arm was beginning to tingle and go numb. This had never happened to him before. He had no idea how to stop it. The glowing began to intensify as Jasper’s entire arm started to feel like it was no longer there. He had been through so many strange occurrences in his long life that it was easy for him not to panic over this.As fast as the glowing started it stopped, giving him feeling back in his arm. “What the hell was that?” Jasper asked himself. He placed the thought away with all the other questions he had racked up. He had more pressing concerns at the moment. He needed to figure out where he was, and if it would be possible to get back to Sylvia. At least he did not have to worry about money this time around. A perk of never sleeping and only drinking blood.Before he even got a chance to try there was a bright blast of orange light. As soon as the light went away a small man in a clock was in its place. “Jasper Monroe! How are your many lives treating you these days?”Of
From what Jasper had seen so far of this order he could not fathom what would make him join. And the most important question was why he could not remember. It seemed like the other members would not or could not tell him the reason behind this. The man before him Alec, he did not know, but something about him was eerily familiar. As much as he did not want to believe Alec’s words, he believed deep down in every word he spoke. Some how some way this man was an old friend. He wanted to scream out in frustration but kept his cool holding the feelings inside.“I know this is all really hard for you to comprehend but sooner or later you will understand. I can not tell you much else about the Order of the Supernatural, but that too, you will learn of once again in due time. For now, I have been given permission to tell you why you do not remember and why you change every ten days. You did something three hundred or so years ago that the order found unacceptable, so you were punished. Your p
