My eyes followed the road that was almost endless, stretching miles straight, carving an obvious line through the thickness of trees.

This place is an entire village, a settlement. Average sized and styled homes stand close to each other, placed to conveniently face the road, that seems to lead into nowhere. It is all so...Domestic, normal. Something I haven't seen in what seems like a while.

"What is this place? I question.

My bearings are way off. These trees aren't familiar, the sky is clouded over, and a soft fog seems to be dancing around the edges of the road. Something tells me this isn't on the map, or at least in any Pack.

"Some people call it a safe haven. A home between the Desire Pack, and the Love Pack," Jasper tells me, as I rub my eyes tiredly.

My sleep was decent, and by the looks of it, the day is just starting again. Although, I have to admit that I could really do with another nap at least.

"Why here?" I ask him. "Who lives here?"

Jasper turns the car on again, pulling out from where we were parked on the side of the road. He keeps to a decently slow pace, giving me the chance to look out the window at all the house. They are all very similar looking, with nothing being too expensive looking.

"My Pack members. They are those who fled from the Pack centuries...Well, the offspring of those. Terrified of Phantom Wolves, they had nowhere to go, so I disappeared from my old Pack to look after these people where they would be safe," he explains.

I frown. "Are they Phantom's too?"

"Some are, some are not. Those few who are Phantom's do not share that with anyone else, due to a law I enforce that Phantom's must not be spoken of, because of the hysteria is causes. Many aren't even aware I am Phantom," he tells me.

All these people living a lie. They are think they live in a perfect town, free from Phantom's under the protection of Jasper.

"Do they not get suspicious that you never age?" I ask him, taking a glance at his perfectly sculpted face as smooth skin, wondering how he could be so old. But when I look at his eyes, shrouded with memories and experience, it makes sense to me.

Jasper shrugs. "I've made them think a Phantom granted me with eternal life to suffer. With such hatred toward the murderous Wolves you spent most of your life around, it didn't take much convincing to get them to believe."

Staring out the window, I see very few people. They all look very normal, living their lives without having any idea that their Alpha is actually what they fear the most. Their neighbours are may even been one.

"So we are staying here?" I ask, wondering what a life would be like here.

"If you please. I brought you here to be safe, but ultimately it is your choice if you would like to stay here or not. I cannot make you stay," he tells me, as I fall into his gaze.

Could I stay? With an Alpha?

I shrug. "Let me think about it."

Where we were driving, I don't know. The road seems to never end, as do the houses. Just the same houses upon houses, with different street numbers printed on their fences. Sometimes we would drive past a few stores, but only those that sold necessities.
