Chapter 8 - I Need More Time

Jessamine Pov

It's been a whole week since Cole came to my place. I haven't heard from him or seen him around campus and frankly it's making me anxious. It's like the calm before the storm and I'm getting a bad feeling about it. Even his Gamma that has been tailing me since our first encounter has stop watching me. Maybe he has given up on me and decided to look for his mate "me". Lost in thought I snap myself out of it and decided to ask Samantha causaly what her brother was up to. She's been helping me after school everyday but I let her leave early someday's because I know she also has duties at home. Im so supprised she is able to juggle school life and home life and still get good grades. Being Luna in general is not easy but I can't imagine doing the duties of someone else is good for her health.

"She is doing YOUR duties"! Calla growled in my head.

"We should have taken over Luna duties since we found our mate". Before Calla carries on screaming at me I block her out. Yes I am aware it's my fault she has so many responsibilities but if it was that simple taking over I would have jump into his arms since day one.

"Hey Samantha can I ask you a question".she looks up at me.

"Sure Jessamine what is it"?

"Just out of curiosity why haven't I seen your brother around usually a week does not go by without him giving me a death glare when he picks you up".She started to chuckle.

"Yeah I know he can be over protective but he is a great brother, however, he went to a uhm... function yeah function in New York and he will only be back tommorow morning". Wait a minute he went to New York..... That means he would have met Jasper oh no this is bad.It felt like blood drained from my face, shit I was supposed to contact Jasper on Monday but I was so busy I completely forgot about it. Trying not to freak out I see Samantha has a worried look on her face.

"Jessamine are you okay? You look really pale".

"I... I just has something bad to eat that's... that's all. I straightened myself up before I added.

" Maybe it a good idea to call it a day, besides it's Friday you should go out and have fun ". She looked at me still worried but just nodded her head. I made my way to my car and drove home. I had to call Jasper and find out what is going on. Making my way inside I called him immediately trying not to freak out.

" Well hello there stranger, I was wondering when you were going to call me".

"I'm sorry Jasper you know.. Life and all".

"Yeah I get that so is there something you would like to tell me". I try to play innocent.

"Oh Jasper I have no idea what you mean, life here is pretty boring but Angela told me you wanted to tell me something important". He started to chuckle. Oh Shit not a good sign when Jasper started to laugh like that I know I'm in trouble.

"Cut the bullshit Jessamine, can you tell me why the Alpha of where you are currently living got in contact with me and started asking questions about you". Before I could say anything he continued.

"Luan said someone was trying to get your records and then I get a call from Cole Jackson that he would like to speak to me with regards to you. And then next thing I know he fucking flew here the next day standing at my doorstep asking questions".

"What did you tell him"?

"I told him you were a human living in my territory but he didn't buy it and kept pushing".

I Guess that a nice way to say they started to fight.

"In the end he said he will not stop until he gets answers and left I haven't seen him since". Shit this is all my fault I didn't think he would go that far. Jasper has a good relationship with alot of packs especially Cole's since they are the best of the best I don't want to be a reason why their agreement has broke and a pack war can breakout.

"I'm so sorry Jasper for pulling you into this mess I promise I'll sort it out". His tone got gentle.

"I don't fucking care about the pack agreement I just wanted to know you are safe". I smiled knowing he got the back.

"I'm fine I'll explain everything when I come down for Christmas I promise".

"Alright but call me when you have any problems that Alpha has some serious anger problems". Oh don't I know that.

"Alright Jasper I have to go ill talk to you soon give kisses to Jessica and the kids".

"Will do and stay safe". After talking to Jasper it made it very clear what I need to do. Cole is not going to stop until he has answers and he knows I'm the only one that can give it to him.Knowing him, he will rock up here at my front door tommorow ready to get what he is looking for. Sighing I make my way to the wine cellar, tommorow is going to be a long day.

Cole's Pov

I ran as fast as I could to see what Jake has found. Finally I hope it's good news because I really want to find this woman. She pisses me off so much when I find her I am going to grab her and mark her then and there so that she can never escape me again. I see Jake stand on the point of the waterfall looking down at something.

"Jake what did you find". He point to the rock.

"There, do you see it on the corner of the rock". I look a bit closer seeing blood not just any blood it's hers. Jake continues to talk.

"The shewolf used this rock to cut herself to cover her tracks as there is a piece of hair on the corner of the rock". I look up at him gesturing him to continue.

"I've looked everywhere for her sent she did a good job loosing you she ran around in circles but after she lost you in the woods she let her guard down because I could get a faint smell leading to a house not far from here".

"Who's house"?

"Non other than Miss Jessamine Dean. And that's not all my informant got back to me about her records being sealed apparently Alpha Jasper from Blacksage pack is the one that ordered her files to be sealed. Unfortunately he can't get to the records but I thought it was a enough reason to find out what Jasper knows about her and maybe link her to the shewolf that has been running around ". All I could do was listen to Jake and try not to go back to her house and force it out of her, she smells human but why did Jake track my mates sent to her place. Either she knows my mate or there is something else going on and I will find the truth.

" Jake get Alpha Jasper on the phone and book plane tickets. We are going to New York".
