chapter 4 You're coming with me

Collier Campbell POV

Lost in a whirlwind of thoughts, I found myself locked in a tense gaze with the man towering above me. Fearful of breaking eye contact, I held my breath, wary of what his next move might be.

His long, disheveled red hair cascaded down to his neck, framing a rugged face adorned with a 5 o'clock shadow. His tanned skin bore traces of an untold history, adding to the air of mystery that surrounded him.

"What is your name?" His voice pierced through the silence, pulling me back to reality.

My mind scrambled to respond, caught off guard by the unexpected question. "Uh... What?" I stammered, my words stumbling out in confusion.

He repeated his question, his gaze unwavering. "I asked, what is your name?"

"It's... it's Collier Campbell," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. "And... and yours?"

A sly grin crept across his face, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint. "Collier Campbell, hmm? A fitting name for you, my mate," he remarked. "As for me, I am Jasper Lupo Diamond the Sixth."

His peculiar name only added to the enigma that surrounded him, leaving me with more questions than answers.

"Your scent is sweet as sunflowers, my mate," Jasper murmured, burying his face into my neck to inhale deeply.

My eyes widened in alarm, and I attempted to push him away, but his presence felt as immovable as stone, rendering my efforts futile.

With a hint of disappointment clouding his gaze, Jasper locked eyes with me. "I shall not endure being rejection again, for the moon goddess has decreed that you are to be bound to me. Human or not, you are destined to be mine!"

Confusion and fear gripped me as his hand gently caressed my cheek, his touch both mesmerizing and unsettling. Meanwhile, his other hand rested firmly on my leg, a silent claim of possession.

"Do you truly comprehend what I am, my mate?" Jasper's voice held a mixture of anticipation and solemnity. Before I could gather my thoughts to respond, he continued, "I am a Blood Moon Demon Wolf."

A shiver ran down my spine as the weight of his revelation settled upon me. "Please, I... I don't understand your intentions," I pleaded, my voice trembling. "If I have done something wrong for coming here, I will leave and never return."

Jasper's expression darkened at my words. "Why would I desire fir you to do such a thing? I finally have my mate, you are to be mine. However, before we depart for my pack's domain, you must bear my mark."

Lowering himself to my neck once more, Jasper's tongue traced a pattern against my skin. "With this mark, I claim you, Collier Campbell, as my mate."

A sharp cry escaped my lips as his teeth pierced my flesh, a searing pain shooting through me. "AHHH! Please, stop! It hurts!"

As the sensation shifted from agony to an unexpected pleasure, my world began to blur. Through a haze, I heard Jasper's voice echo, "You are mine now. You are coming with me."

As Jasper hoisted me effortlessly onto his shoulders, I felt a rush of adrenaline as he began to sprint away with me in tow. The world blurred around me as the wind whipped past, leaving me disoriented and helpless.

Uncertain of our destination and consumed by dread, I clung to a sliver of hope, silently praying for a miracle to deliver me from this harrowing ordeal. Each stride Jasper took echoed with a sense of urgency and purpose, intensifying my fear of the unknown that lay ahead.

As the landscape whizzed by in a blur of shadows and moonlit foliage, I braced myself for whatever fate awaited me at the end of this tumultuous journey. With each passing moment, my heart pounded in my chest, a constant reminder of the perilous situation in which I found myself.

Lost in a maelstrom of fear and uncertainty, I could only hold onto the fragile thread of hope that someday, somehow, I would find a way able to escape from the clutches of the enigmatic Blood Moon Demon Wolf.
