For months, I have been trying to understand why I've been so drawn to her, why I've been dreaming about her, thinking of her, but now I know, it has all come down to this moment. Now I know that our names are written in the stars, she was destined to be heartbroken,n and I was destined to bring her back to life.
Jessica Humphrey has been in my mind for a long time now, I had a hunch that she's my mate but I didn't understand it because she's human. Nyhteris don't mix with humans so it was confusing to me. She doesn't come from Nytheri bloodline and no one in her family is a Nytheri so I had to do my research.
I had to study her, understand her, know her. Like a creep I stalked her, followed her everywhere she went. It was so bad that I barely went to work, I would just follow her everywhere.
Or even get someone to get information about her. The more I knew much about her, the more I couldn't stop thinking about her, her face her smile, her laugh was always in my mind, I would even dream about her.
There was a time I was in a meeting and I drew her face on my book without noticing. My head wasn't even in the meeting; it was consumed by her existence.
It was from there that I knew everything about her.
I know her name is Jessica Humphrey born September seventh two thousand and two, she's ruled by the planet mercury. Has long dark hair, diamond shaped face, honey brown eyes, dimples appear on her cheeks when she laughs and smiles, her smile is super contagious, her lips shaped like a heart like she was created by the planet Venus.
Her complexion chestnut, she's calm, humble, shy, wears dresses a lot. But you can tell that's not her true nature and she's just acting that way to hide her true self so the people she knows don't run away.
It's a shame she had to do that because now look. The people she's been trying to impress have betrayed her. Her best friend and boyfriend.
I never liked the boyfriend, and I knew he wasn't going to last with her because it was obvious she was destined to be with me.
I would see them fighting all the time, which would give me joy, but then they'd get back together, which would make me so angry.
But now it seems like she's not going to be forgiving him. I hate that she's hurting but great now she can finally be with me.
I hope that's not selfish. She just deserves better.
She's lived in New York her whole life, and her parents are therapists. Benjamin and Fiona Humphrey. But her mom died of cancer when she was a senior in high school. She misses her mom every day.
She's also a fashion designer, but her designs aren't out there yet. She currently works as a P.A in Elegance a magazine company. It's obvious her designs deserve to shine, she should be a famous designer, not working for some bitch ass who treats her like shit.
I saw her crying because of her boss, and God knows I wanted to rip her throat off with my claws.
You can tell that she wants nothing more than to be happy, and I want to give her all the happiness she deserves, but I still didn't understand why I was so drawn to her. She was human, I didn't understand it until the accident, I knew it was coming, and it happened. She died because of her stupid boyfriend.
And I knew what I had to do, I knew it was forbidden and taboo, but I had to do it. It was clear that we were meant to be together and that the universe wanted us to be together. Like I said, our names are written in the stars.
So I gave her one of my nine lives. When she was declared dead, the sad Doctors had placed a large cloth on her body, and when they left, I snuck into the room and I kissed her. Giving her one of my lives.
Which is risky, but I did it anyway. When I did that my wrists opened up revealing blood like knives had slit my wrists, I became weak I could barely walk but I managed to leave her room without being seen.
I'm at home but I'm still sick as hell, I don't know how many days this is going to last but I know if any of my family members see me like this they're going to know something is wrong because Nytheris don't get sick. Viruses and diseases can't get to us. Well, except if it's silver. So I'll just blame it on the silver.
But I know my sisters, they're going to suspect something else. They're going to know about this eventually. They're going to find out.
But I can't worry about that, I don't even care. Jessica is okay, and I'm grateful for that. She's come back to life and I think it's high time I introduce myself to her because she's probably going to be freaking out by the changes.
Me giving her a life doesn't just mean she's come back to life, it also means she's also a Nyhteri. She's no longer human and sooner or later I'm going to be revealing myself to her as her mate and she mine and we're going to be so in love and we're going to get married and live happily.
No one is going to stand in our way.
Not even her lying, cheating werewolf boyfriend.
Jessica
They say when you die, your whole life comes running into your head, from the good things to the bad things, from the time you learned how to walk to the time you had your first crush, your first friend and your first boyfriend.
I'd like to believe that I died and I saw all those things that happened. From when I was two weeks old to now, the twenty-two.
I'm not even supposed to be alive.
"It's a miracle," the doctor and the nurses keep on saying. That's what the doctor is telling my father, that I'm not supposed to be alive but I'm such a strong person that I kicked death in the ass.
Don't know about strong, maybe he should use the word lucky, I don't even know about that either.
All I know is that I'm not supposed to be alive at all. And honestly, I wish I weren't.
My dad looks worried and relieved at the same time. The doctor isn't just telling him about how I died, but yet became responsive later on, he's telling him that I'm healing so quickly. Which is a strange oddity.
I don't even care anymore, I just want to go home.
"She's still on medication, and you have to bring her back for a few check-ups." The doctor with the nice hair says, and Dad nods in agreement. My dad will do anything to make sure that I'm doing fine.
I kind of feel super bad for him because he did lose his mom years back, and losing me would put a hole in his heart.
Maybe it's a good thing that I came back to life because I don't know what I would do if my dad gets his heart broken. After all, someone else he loves died.
"Yes, doctor I'll do just that." dad says looking straight at me with all the love in his eyes. We're not a religious family but I bet he's thanking God that nothing bad happened to me. Hell, I might be thanking God right now.
On the way home in the car, Dad just kept on telling me to tell him if I needed anything. I would only answer "okay", "yes," and "no"
I'm back home, the place I grew up in, because I don't want to go back to the apartment when she's there. She didn't even visit me in the hospital, nor did Jeremy. Honestly fuck them, I don't give a fuck.
"Let me know if you need anything okay?" Dad says. Oh, Benjamin Humphrey, my loving father. Handsome, tall black man, understanding, empath, therapist. Always there for me. I love him so much, I love him so much and now I have to be more careful when I'm driving so I don't get into any more accidents.
"I know, thanks dad." I say to him and he smiles and places his hand on my shoulder.
"My sweet girl. I'm so glad you're okay."
"Dad, please don't cry, because if you cry, then I'll cry."
"I know I know. Sorry." he composes himself and I smile my dad is so baby girl. "You go freshen up, I'm going to go order pizza. Your favourite, pepperoni." he waggles his brows.
I roll my eyes, my smile still intact. "Thanks dad." he walks away and I get into my room. I look around and reminisce about my childhood and teen years here. One of those memories consist of Renee. So I shake my head removing the nostalgia from my brain and I head straight to the bathroom.
I put on the water for the tub, and I head to the mirror and I look at myself. There's a bandage on my head, and in all honesty, I feel nothing; it's like I never got into a car accident in the first place.
All I feel is numb.
I stare at my reflection for a long time then all of a sudden, my eyes go from honey brown to a bright emerald green.
Huh?
I close my eyes and shake my head. It's gone, huh, maybe the accident got to my brain. Why did I just see myself with green eyes and not brown?
Maybe I just need a bath. So I turn to remove my clothes to get in the tub, but then I feel something strong in my hands.
I look down and I see what's before me. I scream.
