Thank you Jtmay10 for this awesome cover!

*Parker Mason*

"Make sure you jérk off to someone other than me," she called from the stairs before heading up, not turning back. A weird feeling occurred within me. She heard? Did she see? I gulped at the thought. I was so tempted to follow her and apologize but I knew she wouldn't listen to me, I don't blame her either.

'Here you go again, hurting her over and over again,' my wolf spat angrily at me. I growled in response.

'You're the one getting mad because she disrespected us! All I cared about was the fact she came back so late and how another male was around her,' I argued with him. My wolf growled at me this time. I slowly made my way to my office. When I sat down in my desk, I raked my hand through my messy hair. I barely slept last night. Jasmine was all that was in my mind. I regret everything I've done to this woman, she doesn't deserve any of it.

When I realized what I was doing to her, I was scared shitless. I haven't felt as guilty as I did at that moment. My anger got the best of me and I needed to learn to control.

I was just some asshole who doesn't know how to love or treat anyone right.

She deserves the truth and I planned on giving it to her.

*Jasmine Davis*

The next couple of days I spent in my room. I only left to get some food and that was it. I was trying to avoid Parker or anyone else for that matter. Plates of food has also been left at my door from the meals that I skip, which is every meal because I'm stocked on food in here.

I decided to take a shower. After showering I changed into a pair of black short shorts and a navy blue tank top while letting my wet tangly hair just be wild. Quietly, I opened the door hoping that Parker was still gone because I heard him leave early this morning. He was probably doing pack work. I noticed a plate of eggs, bacon, and some toast. I picked it up and quietly carried it down the stairs.

As I rounded the corner, I stopped when I heard rustling in the kitchen. I slowly peeked into the kitchen and furrowed my eyebrows when I noticed a girl with jet black hair digging in the fridge while humming Panic! At The Disco.

"Hello?" I called out to the person. The girl digging in the fridge stood up and hit her head on the shelf before muttering some curse words. She turned around and looked at me with wide eyes. As she took in my appearance and slow grin took over her face. It was then I realized how similar she looked to Parker.

"You must be Jasmine!" She held out for me to shake. I stared at her with furrowed eyebrows. Realization dawned upon her as her mouth formed an 'o'. "I'm Peyton, Parker's twin sister."

I raised both my eyebrows. Parker has a twin sister? Or even a sibling? My thoughts drifted to my younger twin sisters. What a coincidence.

"Hi," I slowly shook her hand, unsure of what to say.

"You must be Parker's mate, am I correct?" She asked as she turned back to the fridge and pulled out a can of soda. I nodded my head as I took a seat at the bar. She came and stood at the other side of the bar. She snatched some of my bacon earning a glare from me.

"If you're wondering why I'm here, I came because I heard that Parker found his mate and I wanted to see her myself," she stated, answering my unasked question. Her green eyes were much more cheerful than Parker's and I could tell that she is most likely the opposite of Parker.

I nodded my head,."Yeah, he's..." I trailed off not know what to say. Peyton chuckled as she watched me try to come up with something.

"An asshole?" She finished while raising and eyebrow. I let out a small laugh, one that I haven't let out in a while since I was back home.

"Yeah." She continued to stare at me but didn't say anything. She didn't even try to hide the fact that she was.

I continued eating trying to ignore her stare. "What?" I finally asked through a mouth full of food.

"Are you happy? Has he marked you yet?" She answered me with questions.

I looked down at my plate and slowly shook my head. "I rejected him," I said quietly not wanting to look up, instead I looked at my wrists which now had nice purple bruises on them.

She gasped as she say the bruises on my wrists, "He did this to you?" She took my hands and observed the bruises while her eyes were wide with shock. I slowly nodded my head but spoke before she could say anything, "He was angry at me for disrespecting him. He was just gripping them to hard." I scowled at the memory.

Peyton glanced up at me before letting go of my hands. "Is this why you rejected him?" I shook my head 'no'.

"I rejected him because he only wants me for my body," I responded before adding quietly, "I'm also afraid of commitment." Anger flashed across her face and her nose flared.

"That asshole! Wait till I get my hands on him. He knows that's no way to treat your mate! What was he thinking? I'm going to beat him up. Forget about him being Alpha," she snapped as she crushed the can in her hand and threw it away in the pull out trash can in the bottom cabinet.

"There might be a reason?" I suggested and she shrugged it off.

"A lot of things has happened to him in his past," she said once she calmed down. Her eyes now held sadness and my eyebrows furrowed. Her emotions changed quickly. "Maybe he'll open up to you if you just give him a chance to explain. He isn't all just cold-hearted, there is still a small little soul in there with the same emotions as all of us. He's just really good at hiding them. He needs someone like you in his dark life. There is still light somewhere in there."

I stared at her not knowing what to say. She wants me to give him another chance? I have had enough of his bullshit, I don't want to deal with it anymore. I'm curious to know what happened to him but its not my place to ask her instead of Parker.

"So there is a party tomorrow night and I would like you to come with me," Peyton said as we were watching TV in the living room. She spent the whole day with me which surprised me. I guess I've got a new friend. Turns out we are very similar. We have the same taste in guys, we both like the same music and shows, we both like to eat. The list could go on. She and Sarina would get a long great.

"Sure," I shrugged. Its not like I have plans or anything.

She grinned at me before clapping her hands together, "Great! We can go shopping together. We need to get you something sexy that will definitely have Parker needing a cold shower." I felt my cheeks heat up at her words but nodded anyways, mirroring her grin.

The sound of the front door opening caused the smile on my face to disappear. I felt my throat become dry and my stomach clench. Peyton glanced at me warily as we heard the footsteps come closer to the living room. Parker appeared around the corner and he stopped when he noticed us in here. His eyes met mine and he held them a few seconds before glancing at Peyton but came back to mine. I scoffed at him, looking away.

"Hey, brother," she greeted him as she turned back to the TV.

"What are you doing here, Peyton?" He asked with a frown on his face while he narrowed his eyes at his sister suspiciously. I couldn't help but noticed he was wearing loose jeans that hung loosely on his hips while wearing a black T-shirt that clung tightly to his body. His black hair was messy on his head, which was tempting to run my fingers through. Shit, I'm checking him out.

"What? I can't see my brother's dear mate?" She asked while shooting him a glare. Parker looked at me again and I quickly looked away hoping he didn't see me checking him out.

He didn't say anything but turn on his heel and leave. Peyton called out to him, "Yeah, you better walk away!" I laughed silently at her. Where has she been all this time I've been alone?

We continued watching TV as it continued to become later at night.

"You should ask Parker to come with us to the party," Peyton suggested. I glanced at her before looking back at the TV.

"Why?"

"Maybe you'll get to know Parker better. You never know? Maybe tease him a little and show him what he's missing," she responded nonchalantly. I pondered that idea. I guess it would be fun to tease him, but that means I'd have to be around him. I scowled at that.

My wolf spoke for me instead, "Ok."

'What the hell?!' I growled at Irene.

'I think we should spend more time with our mate,' she replied. I internally groaned at her. There is no way I'm getting out of this. I'm just going to wait till the last minute to tell him so then he would say no because its too late. I smirked at the idea.

Peyton and I continued watching TV until it was midnight. She decided that she would sleep on the couch and I went back to my room. The hallway upstairs was pitch black and I knew that Parker was probably asleep.

When I opened my door, I noticed that my bedside lamp was on and dimmed. That is not what caught my eye, what caught my eye was the beautiful red rose laying on my pillow. This was the third one I have gotten. My brows furrowed as I walked over to it. I picked it up, careful not to touch the thorns, and carried it to the other two. I couldn't help the small smile that graced my lips. Obviously it was Parker's doing, but why?

I changed into another pair of shorts and a tank top before brushing my teeth. I then climbed back into my bed glancing at the roses before turning my light off and laid on my side. Before I slipped off into sleep, I heard the sound of my door creaking open. I felt my bed dip behind me and I couldn't really tell as I was too tired to think clearly. I felt a presence behind me and arms snake around my body pulling me towards a warmer and bigger body. I felt the sparks and I couldn't help but feel safer. I was overwhelmed by Parker's strong addicting scent as he kept me close to his body as if afraid I would disappear. I was too weak at this point to get mad and struggle against him but a part of me wouldn't let me as well. I felt him move my hair away from my neck and nuzzle his nose into it, inhaling my scent before whispering.

"Mate."

"This dress is perfect for you!" Peyton exclaimed as she held out a black dress. I didn't see it fully but she shoved it towards me and pushed me into the changing room. I chuckled as I closed the curtain. I took my clothes off and slipped the dress on. The dress went down mid thigh and hugged my curves tightly. It had a sweetheart neckline and straps over my shoulders. I smiled at myself in the mirror.

"You done yet?" Peyton called from outside and I answered her with a 'yes' before pulling the curtain back. A grin formed on her face as she took me in. She squealed making me jump a little.

"Its perfect! That will definitely make Parker want you to get in his pants!" My cheeks flamed at her comment as I let out a laugh. My mind then drifted to last night. When I woke up this morning, nobody was there except me. I couldn't help but wonder if it was my imagination.

"I'll get it," I said as I went back into the changing room. I changed back into my normal clothes and went to the cash register after finding a pair of black heels to go with the dress. Peyton picked her dress too. It was a navy blue color and had a slit down the side of it, showing off her long leg. I didn't have long legs, I was short, but I didn't really care. I'm happy with myself and wouldn't want it any other way. Actually that is a lie, I wish I was taller.

We got into Peyton's car and she drove us to Starbucks. We entered and ordered ourself some coffee.

"Peyton!" A girl's voice shouted from across the door. Peyton turned towards the source and a smile grew on her face. I turned too and saw a girl with fiery red hair walking towards our table with two girls behind her. One had jet black hair and chocolate colored skin while the other one had blonde hair that fell just below her shoulders.

"Hey girls!" Peyton grinned at them.

The girl with blonde hair was first to notice me and she smiled, "Hi! I'm Vivian!" I returned her smile.

"Jasmine," I introduced myself. This time it was the dark-haired girl's turn speak up.

"You're Alpha Parker's mate?" She asked raising an eyebrow. I slowly nodded my head and she smiled brightly at me.

"I'm Kennedy," she said cheerfully. Lastly to introduce herself was the girl with the fiery red hair stuck her hand out to me, "I'm Riley." I smiled at her.

"You're very pretty, Jasmine," Kennedy gushed as flashed me a smile.

"Thank you," I responded.

Riley and Peyton fell into deep conversation so I was stuck talking to Vivian and Kennedy. "Are you going to the party tonight?" Vivian asked curiously. I nodded my head, "Yeah I am."

"Is Alpha Parker coming?" Kennedy asked. I shrugged my shoulders. I honestly didn't care if he came as long as he didn't stick around me. But I wouldn't want any other female around him either. I frowned at my thoughts quickly brushing them away.

We all chatted for a while until it was about 4 in the afternoon. "I invited the girls to get ready at my place, assuming Parker wasn't going to be there. Its not like I care anyways. Maybe if he isn't there, I don't have to invite him. We all piled into Peyton's car and drove back to my place after going to their houses to get their things.

I opened the door to the house when I realized the door was unlocked.

"Is anyone here?" Riley asked from behind me as I walked into the house. I shrugged my shoulders and motioned for them to follow me up the stairs to my room. We each took turns using my bathroom to change, I took a shower though. Once we all changed, we started on make up. Peyton, however, wanted to do my hair and make up. She curled my straight hair which fell into neat curls down my back. She did a smokey eye and winged my eyeliner. Lastly she applied a natural color lipstick to my lips. She grinned as she looked her doings.

"You look sexy!" She squealed as she turned me so I faced the mirror. A smile slowly appeared on my face. I looked different, a good different. I complimented her on her outfit, she was definitely going to catch some eyes tonight, her and the other girls.

The other girls had finished and now it was time to get Parker.

"Go get him!" Peyton snapped as she pushed me towards the door. I gulped nervously as she shut my door so I couldn't get back in.

"This is my room, you know," I snapped back which earned a laugh from the girls inside my room. Nervously, I turned on my heel and started towards Parker's office, silently hopping he wasn't there.

Because I have no luck whatsoever, I smelled his scent on the other side of the door. I slowly lifted my hand and knocked on the door, instantly regretting this. I heard a muffled 'come in', taking that as my cue to walk in. I don't know why I'm nervous. Taking a deep breath, I boldly walked in.

My eyes looked around the room before landing on the large desk and my mate sitting behind it. He was looking at paper work. I walked up to his desk and stopped in front of it. Slowly, he lifted his head and when his took in my appearance they widened before darkening. I bit my lip as I watched his Adam's apple bob up in down as he swallowed. His eyes finally met mine while he clenched his jaw.

"Peyton, her friends, and I are going to a party and Peyton wanted me to ask you if you wanted to come," I said trying to sound as bored as possible, internally hoping he'll say no.

I watched as his eyes wandered down my body. I cleared my throat and his eyes snapped back up to mine.

"Why are you wearing that?" He asked instead of answering my question. I shrugged my shoulders carelessly, "Because I want to."

He frowned at my response before narrowing his eyes, "Sure."

"What?" I asked raising both my eyebrows.

"I'll go."

I frowned at him which earned a smirk from him, before turning on my heel and leaving. I could feel his eyes on my so I snapped at him, "Stop staring at my ass."

Right before I closed the door I heard him say, "Then stop flaunting it." I felt my cheeks burn as I walked back to my room. I opened my door and all heads turned to me.

"What did he say?" Riley asked.

"He said yes," I answered dully. Peyton laughed at my expression before turning back to the make up and continued putting it away. "The party starts at 8 and its about 7:30 right now so we should start heading out," Peyton stated. We all nodded in agreement and headed out of my room and down the stairs. As we were walking out the door, I silently hoped that we could just ditch Parker but he was already coming down the stairs. I scowled at him before hurrying down the driveway, making sure not to trip. My frown deepened when I noticed Vivian in the passenger seat. I smirked when I realized there wasn't enough seats. I guess he's stuck here.

"I guess you're stuck sitting on my lap," a husky voice spoke in my ear. I felt my cheeks redden while the girls smirked. I threw a glare over my shoulder at Parker whose smirk widened. I felt hands snake around my waist and pull me out of the way before I was placed on Parker's lap.

"Don't touch me," I hissed at him. I readjusted my position which was a bad move because I felt him stiffen.

"Stop," he growled lowly in my ear. I turned and glared at him. "I'm trying to get comfortable," I snapped at him.

I sighed as I leaned my head against the window. He's impossible. I just want to punch him in the face right now. I glanced at the bruises that were slowly fading away on my wrists. They were almost gone because I'm a werewolf and it goes away quickly.

I felt a lump in my throat form as I stared at my wrists. Quickly shrugging it off, I tuned into the girls' conversation. I felt a nose brush against my neck causing me to jump a little.

"Stop touching me!" I growled at Parker. Peyton laughed from the driver's seat.

"No sex in my car," she said. I glared at her when she glanced at me through the mirror. Parker chuckled from behind me and I elbowed him.

"Asshole," I muttered under my breath. Everyone in the car became silent and I scoffed. They probably didn't like the face that I disrespected their Alpha but he is, in fact, and asshole. The only one who laughed or even chuckled was Peyton. She is probably the only one who doesn't care because Parker is her brother. Parker is acting different and I don't know what to think of it. He was so cold to me and ignored me but now he kept on trying to touch me.

As soon as the car stopped at the house where the party was being held, I got out quickly so I didn't have to deal with Parker. I was the first one into the house and was welcomed by very loud music, and a bunch of sweaty bodies dancing. The smell of alcohol filled my nose. Werewolves have the ability to consume more alcohol before getting drunk. But seeing drunk werewolves isn't really a pretty sight.

I felt a hand grab my wrist. I turned around with a groan as I already knew who it was.

"What?" I snapped impatiently. He glared at me probably not liking my tone but I really don't give a damn.

"You're staying by my side," he stated. I scoffed. It more sounded like a demand to me.

"You can't just order me around," I pointed out as I glared at him.

His eyes narrowed at me. "I am your Alpha, you will listen to me,"

I yanked my wrist away from him. "You are not my Alpha. I rejected you if you don't remember," I snapped. I placed both my hands on my hips.

An emotion flickered across his face but it disappeared as soon as it came and was replaced with no emotion at all. Instead he took a step towards me. I unconsciously took a step back.

He took another step and lowered his face by my ear. "There is no way I'm letting you walk around wearing that so you can flaunt yourself to all of the unmated wolves here or any of the humans. You will stay by my side. There is no escape from me and I'm sure you wouldn't find out what I would do to anyone who touches you other than me," he whispered darkly in my ear. I felt my wolf cower back at the tone of his voice. It was sickening and deadly. I gulped, I don't know what compelled me to do so, but I nodded.

"Good," he nodded curtly before placing his hand on the small of my back. I stiffened as he gently pushed me to go forward. He led me passed the dance floor where people were dancing to the song "Downtown".  It was dark in the room and all you could see was lights flashing and a little bit of smoke. We reached kitchen where there was a bar and the drinks. I walked towards the bar, leaving Parker's side.

The bartender walked over to me and flashed me a smile. He had blonde hair and pretty blue eyes. I looked at his name tag which said Alex. "What would you like?"

I returned the smile. "I'll take a shot, please."

He sent me a wink, "Coming right up."

A growl sounded from behind me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was obvious that Alex was human. I felt a hand grip my waist pulling me to their side. I sent a glare towards Parker and tried to escape his grip.

"Don't touch me," I hissed at him.

Alex came back with my order and I made a move to pick it up but Parker grabbed it before I did and drank it instead.

I frowned at him. "What the hell?!" I snapped at him.

"You shouldn't drink that," he stated turning to leave but I didn't move.

I crossed my arms over my chest and his eyes drifted towards it and his eyes darkened. "Why can't I drink it. Its not like I haven't drank before. I can handle it." I looked over at Alex and ordered another shot. When he handed it to me, Parker took it again which earned another glare from me. This guy is unbelievable. What the hell is his problem?

I asked for one more and once again, Parker took it. Now I was mad, instead of ordering another shot, I just asked for some soda which Parker didn't take. He had a satisfied look on his face as he watched me scowl at him.

The can was wet from the cooler it was in so I decided to ask for a napkin. Alex came back with the napkin and handed it to me. My brows furrowed as I noticed writing cheeks were tinged pink. Parker took a step towards me and snatched the napkin away from me while sending Alex a death glare. His eyes widened in fear before quickly turning to someone else to take their order.

"Really?" I snapped at him while glaring at him. "What is your problem? Do you really have to be that overprotective?"

A muscle in his jaw ticked as he glared at me. He took another step towards me before trapping me against the counter. He stared down at me. I suddenly hated my height. Why do I have to be so short?

"You are only mine," he growled out, his voice low and dangerous. I shivered at our close proximity before ducking under his arm and escaping to another room.

-

That's the end of chapter 22. I had a short Parker's POV in the beginning just to give a sample of Parker's thoughts.

It took me a while to write this chapter but I got it done in three days. I hope you guys liked it. I'm trying to get in some more Parker and Jasmine moments.

I entered this book for the Watty's 2016. Thank you for all the views this story has received! I appreciate it a lot.
