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.

in your womb. You will lose both of your pups today instead of just one.” Bile rises in my throat as her words cut into my soul. I had no idea that I was pregnant but I can’t even feel the excitement knowing that I may lose the pup. I can’t lose either of my pups. She must realize the fight has left me. She turns to the young girl and begins to chant. She waves her hands and the girl becomes an exact replica of me. She hands her a vial with a bright red liquid swirling in it. “You know what is at stake if you fail your Alpha” the witch says and the young girl nods. She looks just as

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

to the fight. My parents and the others will remain near the pack house. As soon as I reach the border, I can see that ba**ard Grant standing with a smug look on his face. It looks like he brought his whole pack. He is going to need it. I watch as Rose, Larisa, Magnum, Oscar, 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 says with confidence that seems misguided. Cayden and Hudson growl and Evelyn steps between them letting out her own growl. “I would rather die than ever let you touch me again Grant. You were

to be with Grant to fulfill that damn blood oath. It seems I can’t wait any longer. I will just have to leave if she summons me. I appear in the trees and I can sense one witch among the wolves. Maybe I over estimated this pack power. I come to stand next to Grant. He points to his Luna and I nod. 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
