Chapter 3

Jasmine's POV

I land on my bed with a loud thud, damn Tobias for keeping me up this late.

I would still have been in his hold if not for my continuous yawning and eye rubbing that irritated him.

He's been trying to convince me to be his second chance mate; second chance mates are kind of rare, but it is believed that the Moon Goddess created two mates for some wolves; but I doubted it when I had not even found my original mate.

I would do anything just to feel that static electricity soaring through my veins at just a mere touch from my true mate.

I couldn't wait for my senses to be filled with the heavenly smell of my mate that would drive me crazy to do anything.

His had been taken away from him by the hunters and when they killed her in their territory he could feel the pain of losing his mate, Ryan.

It wasn't easy but he was lucky that they had not yet finished the mating process which was marking and mating or else he would have been a serious wreck or worse die a painful death.

I secretly prayed that someday I will be free so that I can explore the world to find my other half.

My mind unable to contain more thoughts shut off slowly with me closing my tired eyelids and drifting off into a peaceful but dreamless sleep.

It was astonishing how the week flew by.

Everything was moving at a fast pace it was more of short days with equally short nights, it has been two weeks since the meeting with my friends, its not every day we meet up but we made it up with unusually long calls.

You're probably wondering how we can differentiate between light and day when we are underground; the thing is that we can actually go out but for the sake of our safety we live underground and there are some packs who have sworn their loyalty to our pack and from them we get information, and other stuffs.

Today I am moving around with my brother, Jerry (Jeremiah) you know the one that doesn't have a mate and is super moody at times.

He usually does pack runs so he goes around the pack taking notes of everything they might need for the next two to three months.

He isn't the only one though there are others scattered around the pack doing the same. I swear its amusing watching his face go red when the pack women tell him they need pads or tampons or underwear and they tell him their size, I was just laughing my ass off the whole time while he gave me a glare.

There was one of his female friends Angie who even wanted to embarrass him further she asked him to get her a sexy lingerie from Victorias secret the one that barely has any covering and is just a light mass of lace and silk.

My brother was a blubbering mess as he gasped for air whilst choking on his own saliva while Angie and I high fived each other howling with laughter.

When Angie finally cleaned her face of the tears of amusement that had escaped her eyes she turned to my brother who had an all but annoyed expression on his stoic face.

"Are you done?" my brother asked me as I tried to stop wheezing from the intense laughter.

"Yeah I think so" I replied with a grin.

"Aww Jerry no need to be a kill joy, I was only messing with you" Angie said after recovering from her own fits of laughter.

Jerry only snorted "Yeah right, anyways we need to get going there are a lot of other pack members I have to meet before the day runs out".

"Its okay Jerry I understand".

"How about we meet up later?"

"Oh that would be nice" Angie replied.

"I've got to go, I'll see you some other time" he said turning away from Angie with me trailing behind him.

"Bye guys" she yelled after them as she slipped into her house.

I couldn't keep my mind from wandering which is why I started thinking about match making Angie and my brother.

What kind of sister would I be if I didn't?

She's a really nice and sweet lady. Jerry and Angie would make a good couple even with their many many differences they would still be cute together.

But that could not happen because Angie already had a mate and she had pups already and Jerry was not interested in any other woman as long as she, was not his true mate or probably his second chance mate.

As if sensing my thoughts, Jerry pinched my side which made me let out a yelp and I moved to the side away from my brother.

I let out a sigh as our legs carried us to the next pack member's house.

"Ahhh you should have seen your face" I said stifling a laugh in which I earned a playful glare from Jerry.

"Your face was so red I thought you were going to pop a vein or something" she added.

"It wasn't funny so stop laughing, and just so you know every other normal guy would have the same reaction well except for her mate" he retorted.

"Its okay I get it you don't want to feel embarrassed or anything so I will just brush it off after I tell Mom and Dad" I said with a hint of playfulness in my voice.

If there was anything I knew about my brother so well it was that he didn't like to be embarrassed or be nervous or held in a place that would make him feel little unless when expected of him.

With that he started chasing me, he eventually caught me after a few seconds and threw me over his shoulder as I screamed and banged my dainty fists on his wide broad shoulders for him to let go off me but he responded by spanking me which silenced me for the rest of our assignment.

So for the next few minutes I was hanging of his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. And when pack members asked why I was on his shoulder we both gave them our best smiles.

Later that evening, we went to the Alpha's office to drop the notes of things the people needed as they would be heading out to the supermarkets above to buy everybody's necessity in a month.

In that moment I had a light bulb moment as my brother and I were walking up the stairs leading to the Alphas office I told him what I thought about.

"Hey Jer" my brother winced a little at the horrible nickname while I snorted.

"What is it?"He asked me calmly

"You and the rest of the pack members that are going to the supermarket are going in a month from now right" I asked with a quizzical look.

His left eyebrow shot up giving me a look that read ' what are you on to?'

"Well I was wonder...."

"No" He said with an emotionless face looking straight into my green eyes

''Hey you didn't let me finish" I exclaimed throwing my hands up.

"Because I knew what you were going to say and before you say shit what I do is not as easy as it seems, do you know how much risk we put ourselves and all the pack members in?"

"Its not that goddamn easy okay!" He said raising his voice a notch higher.

"Don't you believe in your little sister, and as long as the big bad wolf; aka you; is there with me I know you'll protect me, just please give me a chance please" I said with my lips quivering a little

With a sigh he puts one of his hands over his eyes and the other on his waist.

"See I can't allow that, I trust you but damn your defense skills are wack as a matter of fact you need centuries to be able to get to my standards" he said not before looking sideways into the hallway we were standing face to face in "and don't forget we are lycans do you know how many people that want to put our fur coat on a freaking wall" With that thought in mind I lightly rub my hands on my skin.

"Okay I get it but whether you like it or not I am going to ask Alpha Alex and then if he says no I'll obey him and if he says its fine I am going to rub it in your pretty face".

He snorted walking away to the Alphas office "Yeah like as if he's dumb enough to actually allow a pup go to a place full of humans and hunters littering about"

"Hey you come back here don't you dare call me a pup you old haggard man" I yell taking long strides to meet him.

He only increased his pace and continued whistling.
