NOVA POV
I stood there staring at the man sitting on my bed, looking back at me like there was nothing wrong with what he was doing.
“Jasper, you son of a bitch. What the hell are you doing here?” I asked.
“I have to say. You put on a pretty good show at school today. You didn’t even flinch when you saw me.” Jasper said.
“Why the hell would I? I wasn’t really that surprised to see you there. I knew they’d send someone to keep an eye on me.” I said.
“Yeah. And I guess that’s me. So, what the hell are you doing with the triplets? You weren’t even showing them any sort of attention at all.” He said.
“It’s none of your business. I will let the triplets know who I am when I am good and ready to do so.” I said.
“Well, you better hurry up. Time is running out. And people are hunting.” He said.
“Do you have the stuff with you?” I asked. So he opened his bag and he pulled out a smaller black bag. I opened it to see a needle and a couple vials of clear liquid in it.
I sat on the bed and I put some of the liquid in the needle and I injected it between my toes.
“How the hell can you do that to yourself?” He asked.
“It’s easier for you. Everyone already thinks you’re a human because they can’t sense a wolf in you.” I snapped.
“That’s because I’m not a werewolf.” He said.
“Yeah, well. Do you really think I asked for this?” I asked.
“No. But people are starting to get really antsy about what you’re doing here.” He said.
“I’ve been here for a month. I only just met them today. Give me a fucking chance.” I said.
Jasper leaned against my window while I put everything back in the little black bag and I lifted up a loose floorboard and I hid it in the floor.
“Nova. You know that I’m on your side.” Jasper said.
“Yeah. Everyone says that they’re on my side but no one is doing anything about the problems that are coming. Everyone expects me to handle it all myself.” I said.
“You’re the only one who can. You may be suppressing your wolf, but the triplets already know that you’re their mate. I saw the way they were looking at you.” Jasper said.
“I know. But as long as I play a human, I can get as much information as possible before they find out the truth.” I said.
“Alright. If you need any help with anything, just let me know.” He said.
“I will.” I said. So he jumped out my window and disappeared into the forest.
As soon as I was sure that Jasper was gone, I closed the window and I stood there for a moment staring out at the forest. Wondering what the triplets were doing right now.
I know that they know that I’m their mate. But they also think that I’m human. They could be discussing rejecting me. I wouldn’t blame them. They have to show that they are a strong pack.
Triplet Alpha’s is the rarest sort of Alpha you can get. There has never been a pack with three Alpha’s and people have recognised how dangerous that can be. And how they need to be stopped before it’s too late.
Even though they live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska.
But not many people trust that they are going to keep the pack here when they take over. And that’s why they have been marked for death. And not just by other werewolves.
They have been marked by a lot of species and they are in a lot of danger.
I can’t just walk up to them and tell them that they are in danger. They will laugh at me and think I am crazy. They won’t believe me.
I just wish people would trust that I know what I’m doing before they try to interfere anymore than they already are. Like sending a babysitter to watch me.
My only relief right now was the fact that I am only 17. Because when I turn 18, my wolf will be forcing her way out and she’s gonna want her mates. So I have to get this shit done before that happens.
Right now, the mate bond doesn’t affect me too badly. I know that it’s there. I can feel it. But I’m not drawn to them like they are to me.
I hate putting them through this. They deserve better. They deserve the truth. But I know that they can’t handle it. Not yet. Not what I have to tell them.
They may act all tough and strong, but their pack isn’t very big and they can’t handle what’s coming for them.
But with the connections that I have, I know when I’m running out of time. So, I am not going to make a move until I absolutely have to.
I eventually walked away from the window and I sat on my bed with my sketchbook and I started drawing mindlessly.
I kept going until I was finished and I looked at it, to see that it was a portrait of the triplets' faces.
I sat there staring at it, not being able to stop. They were the most gorgeous men I had ever seen.
I needed to get these emotions out of my system while I was at home because I couldn’t let them see any sort of weakness from me at school.
I was a human. I was a human. I was a human.
I had to keep repeating that to myself so I wouldn’t forget it and I would make sure that I didn’t do anything to screw up at school and reveal who I really was.
I doubt anyone would believe me anyway. According to all things supernatural, even I was a myth. The supernatural didn’t believe that I existed. Which is why I was the one sent here. And it was just a coincidence that they are my mates. It actually made a lot of people happy when they found out about that.
But still, the thought of being rejected by them made me feel like my heart was breaking. Even though it hadn’t happened yet.
