Chapter 38

"What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled when I found Jasmine standing by the doorway.

"Relax, Sullivan," she rolled her eyes, and my jaw clenched as I looked down to my cuffs.

Although now wasn't the time or place to think about it, I couldn't help but wonder how I could heal Lucas when my powers were sealed with the cuffs.

Another thought passed through me as I looked back to Lucas. "Do you think you have the power to take off the cuffs?"

Lucas shrugged. "I can try."

Slowly, he moved his hands so they were holding my own.

I bit my lip as I tried to hold back a blush before he lifted his hands on top of the cuffs.

In seconds they're cracked open, and I smirk before looking at Jasmine.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time," I said, standing up on my own two feet before using telekinesis to throw her across the room.

I decided to hold her against the door, and Jasmine thrashed. I couldn't help but laugh as I got up to her face.

"Tell me what I need to know about this whole process, Jasmine," I demanded, but she only snorted, looking over my shoulder to look at Lucas.

"You just can't die, can you?" She clicked her tongue on top of her mouth.

My jaw clenched and I gripped Jasmine's jaw before making her look at me.

"Tell me what I need to know or so help me God, I will kill you," I clenched out, releasing all the anger I've had for her for the last few months.

"Emma," Jason said with a warning tone, but I refused to acknowledge it.

"Why are you so loyal to him, huh? He is nothing but an ass," I said, and she glared.

"What do you understand? You basically have two dads. A mom. A family. My parents left me on the corner of the street at the age of nine. He was the one to take me in. Train me."

My eyes widened. "A family? Is that what you think I have?" I scoffed, ignoring the ache in my chest. "My mom is dead, Jasmine. So is my older sister who I always thought to be my best friend."

"My dad has a whole ton of secrets, and my birth father is a fucking psychopath! You think my life is easy? I would take anything than to have what I do right now," I whispered, and Jasmine's eyes flashed with sympathy, but was gone so fast before I could address it clearly.

Jasmine sighed, clenching her jaw slightly before looking away from me. "Each generation of hybrids were kept in hold by hunters, who, for hundreds of years wanted the power of immortality," she started.

She looked back to me before biting her lower lip. "But each time. They failed."

"Why?" I asked as my brows furrowed.

A dry laugh left her. "Because their bond is too strong to work against."

My eyes slowly moved to Jason before looking back to her. "What do you mean?"

"You both are one of the few that had known each other before the ritual. Everyone else were complete strangers. But they felt as if they couldn't betray the other or something," she shurged. "At least, that's what Anthony said."

"He thought he could do it. Work around it this time," she sighed, before adding, "but I told him not to get his hopes up."

"Why?" Jason asked behind me.

She laughed blankly. "Because I didn't have to be smart to know you both had each other's back," she glanced at Lucas. "The three of you. It's weird."
