Chapter 14

It’s been a week and I haven’t heard from Dimitrius. I've tried texting and calling but of course he lets them go to voicemail and he reads my texts but doesn’t reply so I’ve decided to just let him cool off for a while.

My dad finally got home today. He and Uncle Bane have been gone so I haven’t had the chance to talk to my dad about the whole Cato situation. Whether my father likes it or not, I'm not going to marry Cato. If my father refuses to listen to me he will have to drag me down the aisle kicking and screaming the whole way to the altar.

I let out a shaky breath and opened the door to my fathers office. He’s sitting at the desk with an exhausted expression on his face. His black hair was slicked back all but one stubborn strand that’s falling over his left eye.

My mama had shown me pictures of him when he was younger. Sofia and Winter look so much like him. I'm an outcast. Both my parents have Cole black hair but somehow I got Auburn hair.

    Chapter 15 I cried for a while after Dimitrius hung up on me. Carol called me for dinner shortly after that and I must say that I’ve never felt more out of place as I do now. Everyone is conversing and I’m looking around at them wondering if this is what they will be like if I die. Would they be this happy? Would they be sad? Who will take over the kingdom? Will I ever get the chance of being Queen and having my portrait hang beside my fathers?“Jasmine I forgot to ask how your appointment with doctor Jacob's went?” My father asks. My mom dropped her fork and it clattered on the plate and the room fell silent.I glance over at him trying to think of something that he will believe.“Good. I’d rather not discuss details if you don’t mind dad,” He nods and continues talking to Winter about how she needs to learn to control her Lycan. My mother on the hand doesn’t give up that easily.“You will tell us the details now,” I can see concerns etched on her features. But I’m not ready to tel

    Chapter 16When your child, your parents never really tell you about the bad things in life. The dangers of attacks are never spoken in front of you. The only thing me and my sisters have ever heard was good. People would stop us on our walks through the kingdom and they would tell us how lucky we were to have such wonderful parents and great role models. All that was true. My parents are the best and do such good things for their people. As I got into my teenage years my father started explaining a little at times on how the kingdom was run and things to do and what not to do. It wasn’t until recently when my dad gave this assignment to the rogue king that I learned more about the dangers of running a kingdom. Even then I didn’t fully understand just how dangerous things could get…..until now.“One job,” my dad runs his fingers who’s salt and pepper hair frustratingly. “One fucking job. You two were to talk to Amir and settle the accusations that he was accused of. Instead you two

    Chapter 17You know that awful sickening feel you get when you eat a corn dog and then get on the Ferris wheel? That’s the feeling I have right now only minus the Ferris wheel and the corn dog. I’m currently in the meeting room of the Mortaga’s where Tyson insisted on having the meeting about my position to the throne. Along with Tyson and my dad sits uncle Bane Ginger and Cato. My mother and Annabella and Mia are all present. With everyone including both my sisters Sofia and Winter so my guts telling me this isn’t going to be good news.“I’ve come to a decision,” My father Dominic says. It’s funny how when he speaks he has everyone’s full attention. Except mine that is. All I can think about is wanting to be Queen so badly and make my mark on the kingdom take us places we’ve never gone before. And the feeling I have is that’s never going to happen. My father is going to take that chance. Even if he doesn’t take my chance, my heart is getting weaker with each passing minute. I’ve alr

    Chapter 18When you're a child and parents ask you what you want to be when you grow up and as a child at that moment it's a princess or a doctor or an astronaut. I never wanted to be a princess Because I was born one. I never wanted to be a doctor. I knew that was never an option. Being an Astronaut is for someone who doesn't have an entire kingdom depending on them. But now that I'm older and my father's taking away my right to be queen didn't seem fair to me at the time because it was all a lie that he believed. But Now I'm glad he did it. I've had a lot of time to think about the future. Yes, I would love to have my Portrait hang next to my father's and be the first female to ever lead the caputo kingdom. Given my declining health it's best that Sofia takes my place, she's strong and she's honest and that's what this kingdom needs….A great leader that will lead this kingdom into a new decade.I'm just sad that I won't get to watch her achievements as queen. I'll just be a dista

I won't say those things he asked me to but I will however decline him as a husband as much as I love him and want to be with him. I won't allow him the heartache that comes along with marrying me.” Jasmine pauses, taking a deep breath collecting her thoughts.“I've patched things over with Amir he won't be causing anymore trouble but he did say that if Cato crosses him once more he will pay the price so I'd watch my peas in ques from now on Cato,” Jasmine tells him.Cato huffs.“You have to marry one of my sons, you signed the contract,” Tyson closes his arms.Jasmine nods.“I'd like to talk to Dimitrius alone if that's okay before I give my decision,”“No,” Dimitrius shakes his head.“I don't want to speak with you alone. Just say you'll marry my brother,”You can't miss the hurt in Jasmine's eyes as she nods her head.“fine. I'll marry Cato,

    Chapter 20.I can tell by the way my dad is standing and his facial features that he's not happy with Dimitrius right now just like I'm not happy with my mom right now. I mean who gave her the right to announce to everyone that I was intimate with Cato? Dimitrius nearly broke my hand; he squeezed it so hard. My dad just doesn't know it but Dimitrius was warning us by telling us that Tyson has already prepared for us to break this merger and our kingdom would fall into his hands but there is no way that I'm letting that happen.“I'm not letting Cato get his hands on my kingdom, the merger will go on as planned,” I tell everyone and try to walk away. My chest hurts. I need to lay down for a while. Doctor Edward's called told me that I can try this medication that's a trail bases but I declined It nothings going help me unless I get a new heart.I turned towards Dimitrius I hate that I can't see those beautiful white eyes that I Love so much.

    CHAPTER 21DIMITRIUS.Some things off about Jasmine I can't put my finger on but some things are not right. She brought me here to the beach using her amulet's power without speaking to Agatha which means Jasmine has a strong connection to the amulet, a connection she's unaware she has. She pulls me closer to her, the cold water rushes over my barefoot and she giggles. The breeze is crisp as the night air prickles my skin. The strong odor of salt and fish hits hard against my nose but the sounds of the waves as they crash against the ocean is somewhat soothing.“Why haven't you asked me?” Her voice is soft and her tone is that of a whisper. She's been quiet for the past ten minutes other than the slight giggle she made when she pulled me closer towards the water after I told her water was not my thing. “I have not the slightest of what your rambling on about,”She heaves a sigh and her fingers entwine with mine. Usually I'd never let her hold my hand but it's dark and we were nea

    Chapter 22 “You had no right to just whisk Ginger away with that boy,” Uncle Bane told me. He waited until Dimitrius and Cato disappeared before he started rambling. Just another day at the Caputo Kingdom. “That boy is her mate,” I told him. “And your future husband, “ Bane retorts. “True. But Cato signed a contract stated that it's only on paper for the merger nothing more him and Ginger will still be together just not legally,” “What are you talking about now Jasmine? What have you done?” My dad asks. “We signed those at fourteen this is nothing new dad,” “That still doesn't answer the question about whisking her away without her mother's and My approval, “ Bane continues. “Enough Bane,” Dad tells him. “Jasmine you have been using Agatha way too much and using her for the wrong reasons and sneaking around with Dimitrius using her power to bring him here without asking? What would happen if I wasn't the one who found him in your room? If that had been someone t

    Chapter 42Dimitrius hasn't spoken to me since he left my parents cabin on the beach. I tried speaking with him when he was playing with Emmy but he refused to talk and said he needed time alone with his daughter.“I don't understand Jazz, you had a chance to be happy and you rejected him,” Ginger tells me.Neal might have been my second chance mate but I'm still in love with my first mate, the one who broke my heart.“Neal, was just caught up in something he shouldn't have been. I set him back out into the Sea besides, you know that would have never worked.” “Because of Dimitrius?” She asked, and I just smiled at her.“I'll be back by dinner. I need some time for myself,”Walking in town here just feels so right. I don't have to look over my shoulder and make sure no one is trying to attack the queen. Being Queen is harder than I thought it'd be.Breathing is starting to get harder and I grab onto a fence post to try and catch my breath.“Luna, are you okay? You don't look so good,

The pain from the rejection was enough to stun my heart and I just need to lay here until the medicine stops the chest pains.Just a while longer.“Aggie, Please send Ginger a message and tell her I have a bad headache and I'll be out later,”“Done, maybe you should see a doctor,” Agatha Tells me and I shake my head, feeling nauseous all of a sudden.“Jasmine,” “No, Aggie. I'm fine,” I tell her and I can feel her concern for me and also the hurt by the tone of my voice but I can't help it. I don't want a doctor and I don't want anything just to lay and rest until this passes.……When I woke up it was morning. I fell asleep on the bathroom floor and at some point I must have thrown up because vomit covered the white tiles of the restroom.I stand up my limbs and my whole body feels weak and I can barely stand up but I manage to make it to the shower just the same.

Please Ginger i need you,”“One hour, we will be ready,” She said hanging up the phone.“I'll take care of it,” Agatha says, feeling the question I had for her. I love that fact we can feel each.I knock on Dimitrius' bedroom door. We haven't spoken since the office yesterday morning and it's driving me crazy being this close and he ignores me like this.“He's just hurting Jasmine,” Agatha said, and I nodded.“So am i,” I tell her.When he doesn't answer i just walk in and he's laying the bed looking up at the ceiling.“I'm bringing Cato and Ginger back,”No response.“I'm taking your silence as a yes then,”“Agatha, send Ginger a message to be ready first thing,” She nods.I sat on the edge of his bed and place a hand

I needed space.So he thinks I'm his mate that's why his wolf is surfacing.I leaned in and kissed Neal's perfectly plump lips. This was how I knew when Dimitrius was my mate when we kissed.The sparks were there but faint so it's true he is my mate. is the bond faint because I still feel the pull towards Dimitrius?I push him off me and shake my head.“This can't be right. I can't do this I'm sorry,”He clenched his jaw and stormed out of the room and I slid down the wall bringing my knees into my chest.Why is this happening to me?“Don't be afraid Jasmine, I'm with you,” Agatha says and I thanked Her but her being here doesn't help this cloudyNess in my head or how much my stomach is turning with Bile rising higher into my

I know it's weird because she's about to mate with my ex mate but I can't help it, she's that nice.“Why do we need five plates?” I asked Cora as she helped me set the table in the dining room.“I invited Neal to join us.”I dry heaved and she giggled.“He's not that bad youa guy. I think he kinda likes you,” she said with a raised eyebrow.“Okay, that's just gross,” I told her and the sound of a throat clearing had us froze Staring at each other wide eyed.I sit the last plate on the table, straightened myself up and turned around to face Neal. I was so caught up in my conversation that I didn't smell his scent and I'd never forget it. Earth and ocean water is his scent.Emmy started to cry and Neal and I both glanc

    Chapter 37I lay on the bed…Dimitrius's bed actually. He wouldn't allow me to sleep on the floor in Emmys room and I refused to take the guest bedroom because it smelled of female wolves.The thought of another woman staying here caused my chest to squeeze. I asked Agatha for the pills that doctor Jacob had given me. I pop the Nitro pills into my mouth and swallow it. I'm not having a heart attack. I use medication for chest pains. I take Lisinopril on a daily basis and I hate it because it makes me feel weak.Once the chest pain eased I closed my eyes letting sleep take me.When I woke up the next morning the first thing I did was check on Emmy but she was still fast asleep so I made my way to the kitchen. I frowned when it was empty but a note sat on the counter with my name on it.Jasmine.I had to leave before sun up this morning for a meeting. Everything you need for breakfast should be in the fridge and because I don't want you blind sided Cora is Moving today into day. You ca

    Chapter 36 It was there that I saw it. The hurt Dimitrius felt was unbearable, even for me. And what hurt the most? I know I never betrayed him. Emmy was his, but he didn't know that. How can he not feel his blood pumping through her veins, the features of hers that look just like him. Her soft, pasty skin was the only thing she had gotten from me. The candy blonde hair that hung in curls just past her ears matched his to a T. Her eyes are a light shade of green that I've seen his eye color change to a few times. I shook my head. He's blind he wouldn't be able to see her features or the resemblance between them. I sigh. “Emmy and I can leave at first light,” “Why did you come here, Jasmine?” “Witchland falls is gone,” “Gone how?” “Wildfire that spread was uncontainable. i had no choice but to evacuate my people until it's safe to back,” “Tyson and Mia?” I can hear concern laced through his voice. “The caribbeans, “ “Emmy and I will be joining my grandparents

But my head is fuzzy and I can't think straight, nothing makes sense anymore.“Who are you?” The deep roughness voice came from my throat as the shadow Near me.“Stay back,” I warned.The shadow closed the gap between us placing a hand on my cheek. The voice sounded familiar but I would never forget that touch that haunts my dreams.“Dimitrius?” It's my voice this time.“Give the amulet back he
