JASPER’S POV
After days of obsessing over the beautiful girl that I had seen on the stage at my club, I finally decided to get a guard to find out more about her. I already knew that she was human and the only other thing I ended to know was where she stayed and what she did for a living. Just as I had suspected it turned out that she was a student at the nearby university. That didn’t matter because I planned to at least spend a little time with her before I finally took her to the mansion. I wanted to finally allow myself to have a connection with my mate and I didn’t want to fight it the same way that I had always fought it with my previous mates.
In the past, it was always as if I had completely cut off my wolf whenever I was dealing with my mates because he was the weakest when it came to dealing with them. He couldn’t bare the thought of living without them and that was how I had managed to kill all four of my mates that I had had so far. Something was different about this girl and I didn’t know if it was because she had come at a time when I had decided that I no longer wanted to do this but I wanted to keep her. I wished that I could find someone who could take her place but I knew that that wasn’t possible. The fact that the mate that I had been given now was human showed me that the moon goddess was trying to communicate something with me.
My greatest fear had always been the fact that one day the moon goddess would decide that she no longer wanted to give me a mate. In the beginning, I had been convinced that after my first sacrifice my mother would be her old self again and for a moment she was. She seemed to be getting better and then one day she simply slept and never woke up. Sometimes her eyes would be open and she would be blinking but I always felt like it was her shell nothing in the whole world broke my heart more than what y mother had become. Ruth was trying her best to keep things together while I fell apart and that was the reason why I felt like if I suddenly stopped what we were doing I wouldn’t be holding up to my end of the bargain. But I didn’t even know who I had made a bargain with and I couldn't stop wondering if this new girl was my last chance at love. If she was I didn’t want to lose her without experiencing what it was like to be with the one you loved without fear, even if it was only going to be for a little while.
When the guard that I had sent 0ut to get more information on the girl told me that she was going out to my club, I just knew that I had to be there too. I never went to the club more than once a week but I had to, I had to see her again. He also told me that her name was Amelia and I couldn’t think of a better name than that for her. I couldn’t wait to see her and maybe this time I would finally be able to speak to her too.
She got to the club a little after I arrived and like before I watched her from a distance, the girl might have been human and she might not have known anything about a mate bond but one thing that was made clear to me was the fact that she already felt attached to me. I could see by the way that she was looking around that she was looking for me, she had come here specifically for me and that made me happy. I chose not to approach her while she was in the club because I didn’t want to attract too much attention to us. I knew my sister very well and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had people following me around to make sure that I was safe. What I hadn’t counted on was the fact that she was a beautiful girl and I was probably not the only one that was watching her.
However, I lost all my cool and self-control the moment I saw an unworthy man laying his hands on what belonged to me.
“Are you alright?” I asked her as I led her to my car “did he hurt you?”
“NO, I am fine” she answered after a pause that was a little too long. She was looking me straight in the eye and I couldn’t hold that gaze out of fear that she would see what my true intentions were. At this point, I didn’t even know what my intentions were but I didn’t want her to see that in my eyes.
I” will take you home,” I said after she got inside the car and then I sped off. While I was driving her home, there was a little bit of awkward silence between us and I didn’t even know how to fill it in. I didn’t know what to say to her and she also didn’t seem to know what to say to me. I could tell that she wanted to ask me something but each time she would open her mouth and look at me it was as if the words that she wanted to say left her mouth.
“How did you know where I stay?” she finally asked me when I pulled into the university that she attended. I didn’t like the fact that she stayed inside the school but I guess that was also going to work to my advantage.
“I just know things,” I said
“Would you like to come in for coffee or something, I just want to thank you for…” she stopped talking as soon as I turned my head and looked at her again.
“I would love to come in,” I said and she jumped out of the car and led me inside the building. There were a bunch of girls that were sitting in the living room as we walked in and although they had been laughing when we heard them from outside, they stopped talking and just stared at us as we walked through the living room. I wasn’t bothered by this because these were just humans after all, but my mate seemed to be affected by it. She missed a step and almost fell but I caught her and picked her up. I carried her bridal style until we finally got to her do and she was about to ask me how I knew which room was hers but then again she didn’t say anything. I put her down and she unlocked the door and we got in.
“I like your place,” I said as I sat on her bed relieved that she didn’t share the room with anyone else
“Thank you, although it's not my place. It's just a room that is rented out to me” she started blabbering nervously.
“So why did you want to see me?” I asked her and she seemed embarrassed by my question and taken aback
“I wanted to see you?” she asked me and I nodded
”I am not sure who told you that but I didn’t want to see you, I was just out. You are the one who has been stalking me, you even know where I stay” she yelled
“Then why are you being defensive?” I asked her as I got off the bed and slowly walked toward her, she backed away from me until there was no more room for her to escape me. I entrapped her in between my arms as I placed them on the wall and she swallowed hard.
”Do I make you uncomfortable?” I asked her and she shook her head as I neared my lips to hers and lifted her chin with my index finger. I placed a gentle kiss on her lips and the sparks that flew between us were blinding.
“Why are you kissing me? What…what if I don’t want... I cut her off with a deeper and more passionate kiss and when I pulled away from her she pushed me and stormed to her bed and sat down.
“You can't just go around kissing people, is this what you do?” she asked me and I laughed
“It's not what I do, I am the kind of man that goes after what I want especially if what I want wants me too,” I said and she shook her head
“I don’t want you…” she said looking away
“If you don’t want me why did you allow me to kiss you? If you don’t want me why did you stand on your toes so that you could reach my lips?” I asked her as I sat next to her on the bed and she folded her arms and looked away from me.
I knew she wanted me just as much as I wanted her.
