Life Because of Her

Connecting

Present:

2 Weeks Later:

It had been two weeks since I met Jasmine, the invisible wolf, and we bonded over her impending doom predicted by some prophecy. It had also been almost 4 months since my father passed away... Or should I say, since he was murdered. Anger boils inside of me whenever I think about the person that killed him. He doesn't even deserve the title 'person'. He's a monster. He always has been and he always will be. Revenge is always on my mind.

"Harry?" The angelic voice came from behind me as Jasmine came out of her bedroom. "Why are you up so late?" The clock read 2:56 am.

"I'm just thinking Jasmine... I'll go to bed soon" She knew I was lying because she leapt over the sofa and sat on the opposite end, facing directly towards me with her legs crossed.

"Talk to me" She clearly cared and I was thankful for her. The truth is my fathers funeral is in 1 day and I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye just yet.

"It's about my father" Her face saddened as she knew about my father's death. She scooted closer to me and touched my bare arm with her hand. Her hand was warm and comforting. I looked down at her hand and didn't realise how small it actually was. She started stroking my arm giving me a smile. I smiled back trying to show her I appreciate her company.

"Is there anything I can do?" She kept stroking my arm, this time moving further up towards my biceps and massaging them. I placed my hand on her thigh and made the mistake of looking into her eyes. She instantly captured me and I couldn't look anywhere else. She started to lean closer and I could feel her minty breath tickle my cheek. Her mouth started to part and her gaze shifted from my eyes to my lips. She licked her lips and closed her eyes as she moved her left hand onto my chest to steady herself. I looked at her lips and closed my eyes. Grabbing the back of her neck with my hand, I pulled her the last distance and made contact. Her lips were soft and I could feel her breathing getting heavier, or was that mine? She started to bite my bottom lip and I let out a moan under my breath. I pulled away and opened my eyes. Laying up out of bed, I could feel strain in my underwear. Why was I having these dreams?

I quickly stood up, making my way into the bathroom so I could take a cold shower. After exiting the shower I put on my usual attire.

"Good morning" I heard the familiar voice coming from outside my door.

"Come in" I replied. Jasmine opened the door and walked in with a tray of food. She had made a full English breakfast and added a bowl of berries to the side for dessert.

"Surprise!" I could tell she was trying to cheer me up. My fathers funeral was tomorrow and she wanted to make sure I was okay.

"You know I could smell this cooking... so it's not really a surprise" My sarcastic comment made her roll her beautiful eyes. She laughed and placed the tray on my bed.

"I didn't expect you to be awake and ready this early" She sat on the end of my bed looking at me as I walked over to the bed and sat next to her. Picking at the berries I nodded.

"I had a crazy dream" She seemed to smile at me.

"Me too..." She stood up and left the room. What did she mean by me too? I had heard about mate bonds before. When Cameron had lent me some books, I had been reading a few chapters on the whole 'mate' thing. I didn't know how to feel about it. Maybe good because I had found my mate. It seemed obvious now. I have been falling for her recently. The first time I saw her I couldn't take my eyes off of hers. She was this beautiful person standing in my kitchen. It also explains the dreams I have been having...

"I don't know if she feels the same way" My brains pessimism was really showing. Does she feel the same way? Does she see me as a mate? I was doubting everything. What did it matter if she was destined to sacrifice herself. My potential mate will ultimately be taken from me and there's nothing I could do.

"I think she does" My hearts optimism was really showing. Maybe she does feel the same way? Maybe she does see me as a mate? There was only one way to know for sure but I didn't know if I was ready for that yet.

The day had been long and boring. Most of the day was spent giving Jasmine a tour of the HQ. She seemed to be impressed with the whole set up we had. Cameron showed her the computers and the tech behind our operation. He was the tech geek and controlled most of our tech stuff. Mollie gave her a tour of the training area. It was an open room with punching bags and weights and a few obstacles for us to practise our versatility. Mollie and Jasmine seemed to get along. I think Mollie was still a bit wary of her. I think it's because Jasmine was the only other female werewolf that matched her strength and could keep up with her. Once the tour was over, I took Jasmine home with me and she went straight to sleep.

It was 1 am when I finally drifted to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be hard and I don't know if I was prepared to say goodbye...
