59 The Coward

Earlier That Day

Jasmine POV

We just finished training and I’m running in wolf form through the woods. As I weave in and out of the trees, I think about how much my life has changed since I left Mateo. Calliope was the only happiness I truly had during that time. I never thought about being Alpha but my daughter was right. I love that the pack knows I will do everything in my power to rule fairly and protect them. Meeting Leo was just icing on my happiness cake. My wolf makes a sound of laughter at my thoughts. Leo is soft and kind. He helps me with my duties and, honestly, his care for the pack is astounding sometimes. I laugh at our last conversation where he referred to himself as my Luna. He is my mate and I couldn’t be more grateful to the goddess for him. Coralee slowing down catches my attention. She growls and a woman my age is standing in front of us with a girl who can’t be eighteen. The young girl is definitely wolf but the other woman is witch. I shift and the woman smirks at me. “What is your business in my territory?” “Alpha Jasmine, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I appreciate a fellow woman in a position of power.” “I’m not sure I can say the same until you tell me why you have come into territory without permission.” She laughs and a cold shiver goes down my spine. I try to link Oliver and Tony but I’m met with a wall. “Don’t bother you won’t get through” she says and I feel a sense of dread overtake me.

she has planned doesn’t work. I rub circles on the boy’s back and he finally manages to quiet down. “What is your name?” “My name is Felix. What is your name” he asks and I smile. “My name is Jasmine. Where are your parents, Felix?” He drops his gaze before he finally answers me. “Me and Anna are orphans. Our parents were killed by rogues when I was a baby. It’s just me and Anna now. The Alpha came to the orphanage yesterday and I thought maybe we were going to get a real home but I ended up here. The witch took Anna away” he says as his voice cracks. Goddess, I hope these ba**ards suffer for all they have planned. I can tell that he is exhausted. “Felix, why don’t you lay down to rest and I’ll watch over you.” He thinks for a minute before he finally lays down. I run my hand through his sandy blonde hair and his eyes close. I lay my hand on my flat stomach and say a silent prayer to the goddess to protect Felix, Anna, and both my

Eli POV

and a large group of vampires join us from the east. Grant’s confident look falters for a moment before schools his expression. “I see you or no son of Allistar’s to stand beside this pack that killed him in cold blood” he yells at Magnum. I’m grateful to see he stands taller and doesn’t give Grant the response he is looking for. Evelyn shifts and comes to stand next to me before her true mate joins her. Grant looks between them and his eyes turn black. “I’ve come for my Luna and I will slaughter all of you to get her” Grant

All hell breaks loose and I begin to throw dark energy balls at the wolves but they are dropping to the ground before they can hit even one of the mutts. It’s not possible. I notice the witch standing with her arms held high as the wolves start to advance toward us. The f**king witch can only be eighteen. How the f**k is she so strong? Just as the thought pops into my head the potion summons me. I don’t even look Grant’s way as I disappear. I reappear in a room and I smile at the sight before me. Alpha Jasmine’s figure is holding a knife to her daughter’s neck. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Calliope.” If looks could kill I would be dead. I smile at her resolve to stay strong. In the end she will beg for mercy but right now I’ll give her this moment of defiance. I wave my hand and produce a vial of wolfsbane. “This
