Chapter - 3

As soon as I heard the voice, I felt my heart skip a beat. Sadly, I landed hard on the ground after losing my balance. Since I looked at the figure, I recognized an alpha, a king. While I struggled to stand up, he reached out to me.

 While I stood on my own, I refused to take his hand. “What does that mean?” I asked.“You just said something to me that I don't understand.” As I dusted the dirt off  myself 

  "Green eyes," he replied with a curious look in his eyes. Not believing him, I stared at him suspiciously."Do you have something to say, or are you here to apologize for how you stared at me?" I was not afraid of him in the least. Laughing, he said, "Your bravery, knowing who I am, is impressive.". 

"I suppose that you think that I'll apologize to a weak human. Following you around, doing that in your dreams, my darling?". The Alpha King purred beside me.

I was reminded of summer air by the heat radiating from his body. In the process of slowly touching my cheeks, his hand caressed them.

Having given him the death stare he deserved, I turned backward to leave him behind me. Yet he still held my hand as he pinned me against the wall. His face drew closer to mine as he closed the distance. 

"What are you doing, you asshole!" I yelled at him. When my scream brought him out of his daze, he kept his distance from me. He turned to me and said, "It's important to know your name." He said.

He insulted me, acted like a douchebag, and insisted on knowing my name. “What makes you think I will give you my name after insulting me? Angry, I said, "Are you joking? I can't obey you just because you're the top dog." I said.

 There was a low growl coming from him. In fact, I did not even flinch at his intimidating demeanor. When Jasper alpha pulled me toward him, my body collided with his chest.  it was the dark hooded man, on the other hand, swaying his blades towards me, but stopped by this Jasper alpha. It was Jasper alpha, who held the dark figure's neck in his grasp. An eerie snapping sound was soon heard as a dark hooded figure slumped on the ground.

It was a question of confirmation, "Are you Fiona Jones, by chance?". I don't know who this guy is or how he can assume my name so effortlessly. Jasper Alpha glanced at me but didn't respond to my question. "I'm not sure how you can assume my name.". 

The loud cry of Veronica prevented me from asking him for an answer. The only time I realized he was still holding me in his embrace was when Veronica and Eric looked at me. I tried breaking free of his embrace, but he wouldn't let me go. The bleeding is coming from your arm; don't move."I felt a warm sensation on my arm and the bleeding stopped immediately. Although I looked at Jasper alpha in question, he didn't look at me. Eric and Veronica stared at the dead figure on the ground. "What happened here, Alpha?" Eric asked skeptically.

"The slayer miscalculated that I was there, and Fiona was about to be murdered.” My jaw dropped, "Why would someone do such a thing?" Jasper sighed at me “I don’t know.” He continued to explain to Eric and Veronica. “Upon detecting the slayer's presence, I immediately cloaked myself.” We stared at him in horror.

Veronica replied, "Alpha, your saving Fiona is really appreciated."A nod of the head was exchanged between them. I responded meekly, "Thank you, Alpha.". "You can call me Jasper, dear Ojos Verdes," he purred into my ears.

I felt warm inside even though I glared at his flirtatious attitude. In the process of walking to Veronica for my coat, I asked, "What about the body lying here?". I was reassured by Eric when he said, "Don't worry Fiona, we'll tell the shifter officer about this incident. They'll take care of it."

 Gradually, my consciousness faded into darkness as Jasper held me. I had no idea how he was standing next to me. 

Furthermore, my parents were shifters, but I am not a shifter as they were, so why should I seek help from the shifter council?  I questioned her back. I asked in desperation, "Could you tell me who killed my parents and wanted to harm me as well.".

 As her figure started to fade, she whispered, "I am sorry, but those people are behind something significant, and I do not know who they are at the moment." And her figure faded in front of me. 

The moment I opened my eyes after my dream, I was covered in goosebumps as I tried to get out of bed to check the time. Today I couldn't make it to class.  Taking care of myself is very important. My black jeans and yellow crop top reflected in the mirror as I checked my appearance. 

 While walking down the halls, Mrs. White hurried over to ask if I was okay. While she was forcing me to eat brunch, I texted Veronica to see if she was in class today. 

 I was unable to make it to class today because I needed to run some errands. Hope you are doing well. We'll catch up in the evening." Veronica texted.  

My text back to her was, "I am well. Could we get together somewhere? I need to speak with you." She replies, "I'll meet you at 6 pm at the coffee shop xoxo."
