A Kingdom Of Roses And Iron Chapter 6
Staring out the window as we pass by the tall trees that stretch out with most of the driveway. The familiar castle is barely noticeable until you cross over the hill, the forest line is much closer than ours back home. Being the first daughter of the King and Queen a lot is expected of me and sometimes it’s so overwhelming my heart palpitations remind me to slow down.The only upside to visiting here is that I get to see Dimitrius. I haven’t seen since my party last week, since he killed that gawn that attacked me. One of my fathers men found his body in the woods. I was shocked when I learned the man Dimitrius killed was Mancer Seagan, the head warrior. If he was that easy to kill he wasn’t much of a warrior and his students more than likely need to be retrained. I couldn’t say anything to my father when Uncle Bane told him it looks like someone is targeting the kingdom by hitting us in the area that’s the weakest.We used to have strong warriors, everyone feared them, but that was

Dimitrius The good thing that’s come out of being blind is my other senses heightened. Touch, smell, hearing. Every sound bounces off the objects and echoes off the walls and I can pinpoint exactly the direction the sound came from. Jasmine's texting on her phone and the way her fingertips touch the screen it patterns loudly in my ear.It's both a curse and blessing at times. It’s crazy how when the brain knows your vision is shit but it forms different ways of seeing. I can see sound waves from the noise’s around me, I can’t see Jasmine herself unless I tap into my Lycan but the sound waves I can see, it’s like a vibration in my vision that looks blue when a sound is made. Touching, feeling things is what I do mostly to find something if it’s misplaced which is why everything in my house is placed to my orders so I won’t have to search. Using my hands to find something -or anything makes me feel less of man.Her voice is soft like a melody I could listen to all day, as she hums ly

JasmineAge sixteenI don’t get it. My parents told me when I turned sixteen I would meet my wolf but today I woke up to no wolf. I just don’t understand it. Cato is coming by to see me today, to congratulate me on getting my wolf. I haven’t seen him for a few months. He was supposed to show up to Ginger's sweet sixteen party but something happened and he couldn’t make it. Now I’m going to have to tell him and everyone that I don’t get my wolf.Maybe the Mortaga’s will change their minds about the arranged marriage?“Jasmine,” I look up and smile when I see my dad coming over to me. He has a small box, his hand and smile spread across his face. “Happy birthday,” He said, handing me the box.“Open it,” He encouraged.I untie the bow and open the lid. Inside the box were a new pair of diamond earrings….the ones I told my mom I wanted. But even seeing these beautiful earrings I couldn’t feel joy not when my whole world was about to crash and burn.My dad frowns.“Were they not the ones

Jasmine Age sixteen.The whole ride to the Mortaga’s kingdom Ginger never said a word. Cato offered to bring us back to his kingdom so we could get ready for the party, Sofia and Winter didn't stop fighting the whole time and their voices alone gave me headaches of the constant bickering. “You can get ready in your rooms, my mom still has some things to do before the party and she needs my help,” Cato tells us before he rushes down the corridor. Winter and Sofia waste no time in getting up the stairs to get ready, this is the biggest party because Mia has invited so many guests. Thank goddess, the more people the easier for me to slip away. Ginger was still quiet once we were alone in our room. And the silence is killing me but I have a pretty good idea of why she’s acting like this. I’m going to be marrying her mate.Cato doesn’t know Ginger's his mate yet she won’t find this out for another two years. This has got to be painful on her knowing and not being able to share the kno

Since I did a great job at the meeting my father thinks I’m ready to take on a bit more responsibilities at the palace. I’m excited but also nervous that I might screw things up. I want to be better than the leaders before me do things that've never been done before. I don’t want my portrait to be just hung on the wall beside my fathers just because I’m the Queen, I want to earn my place and be hung on the wall of history next to my family before me. I know something big is going down or my father wouldn’t have called for me and Cato to join him and Tyson in his private office. Cato doesn’t seem nervous but then again it’s Cato we're talking about the boy who always has to have things together with his father watching his every move. In my opinion Cato was not ready to be King and the way he’s been running his kingdom has me worried more about the merger with arrogance like his. Cato never thinks before he acts and that can lead us into a war of trouble. “The wedding will be taking

I’ve tried. I really did. But I can no longer sit and be ignored. I’ve tried to talk with Cato about these Rogue king rumors and that’s what I believe they are rumors. But like always Cato ignores me. I’m planning on going to the Mortaga’s kingdom and giving Cato a piece of my mind which is why I’m waiting for uncle Bane to leave his office so I can inform my dad where I’m going. As I wait my phone buzzes and I grab it. It’s a text from Dimitrius when I see his name my heart starts to pound in my chest. He hasn’t been answering my calls or texts and it’s starting to bug me because I have no idea why he’s being a jerk and ignoring me all a sudden. Dimitrius: for the last time Jasmine, leave me the hell alone.A piece of my heart withers and I fight back the tears that’s been threatening to fall. I have had so much on my mind lately that I can’t even think straight he was the one person I thought I could count on, but I was wrong.“Jasmine. You can go in,” Uncle Bane says, and I nod

The stories my mother would tell me about mates as a kid made it sound so nice and I couldn’t wait to be able to find him. I would dream about a mate that treated me like a princess and worshiped the ground I walked on. A mate that made his love known to me every second of the day, held me tight and kissed me with passion like mama used to tell me about. The moon goddess failed me.On my sixteenth birthday when my wolf never came,My dad always said I was a late bloomer, that gave me hope. But with each passing year my wolf never came. Even my dad realized it and stopped giving false hope when my heart would break when the wolf I longed for never came. A twist in fate. I do have a mate. I found him when I was fourteen even though I was too young at the time to know about my wolf but something about him lured me in. The sweet smell of his scent drove my taste buds crazy….the moment his blood entered my mouth I knew. I knew that he was my mate and that day I learned I have some of my m

“I’m going to confront him face to face,”I’m not exactly sure what is going through Cato’s head nor do I care because his sloppiness doesn’t just affect him, it affects my Kingdom as well and that’s not okay with me. Starting a war with no hard proof only speculations from what others had been saying. I still don’t think Amir would go about a war this way if he had made threats on the merger; he's the type that would have said so himself and not put it off on others. I mean Amir wouldn’t have given away his plans he would have blindsided us first, but I can’t seem to get Cato to understand.“With no proof we have no grounds that what was said was true or not. I think we need to have a sit down and talk with Amir about the accusations he’s being accused of,”“Jasmine. I’m the King you're just a princess I overrule you so what I say goes ... .got it?”I clench my jaw so hard it feels like my molars will snap at any given second…or Cato’s neck either way something is breaking.Preferab

Chapter 41“Jasmine,” Ginger knocks on the door and I continue to lay there in pure silence. 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. The hot water felt great ag

Chapter 40“Jasmine, you've been silent for over twenty minutes. You called me and your not talking which means something is bothering you,” Ginger tells me.“How do you feel about leaving there and coming here?”“But, Dimitrius. “ “I don't care about him right now. 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'm not his i belong to no one.“Your my mate,” Neal said and I shook my head at him.“No I'm not,” “Mine,” Neal growled, pulling me into his chest and placed both my palms on his chest and pushed back. 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

Chapter 38.Emmy was playing in the living room with her toys which I could see from the kitchen and Cora started helping me make dinner which was nice because we have been laughing and talking more.I know I shouldn't but I like her and even consider her to be a friend. 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

Chapter 35Once Neal had fully shifted into his red fury wolf I stepped closer.“One thing you need to know about me? I'm not afraid of mutts,”He bared His canines and growled.I Picture Agatha's power coursing through my veins and my hands start sparking with blue electricity.“This is my final warning to back off,” My eyes widened at my own words that's not my voice it's deeper rougher even.He launched at me and i placed my hand out in front of me and before I could release any magic the wolf was pushed out of the way.“Give the Amulet back her power Jasmine,”That voice sounded familiar. 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

Chapter 33It's been three months since Emmy was born. I sat down with Tyler and My father and explained to them what I did as expected of me. I married Cato, merged the kingdoms and now that the oath has met I'm going to divorce Cato so he and Ginger can finally marry.Not like anyone had a say in what I was doing. I was Queen so I immediately issued a divorce and Cato and I are no longer married. I plan on giving them the paperwork when they come to see Emmy.Emmy Rose is a very healthy baby who loves to smile and it brightens my day. I never knew I could love someone so much like I do her.“There's my beautiful Emmy,” Ginger says, reaching her hands out for her and I hand the baby off.“I got something for you and Cato,”She placed in Emmy in her bed and gave her a bottle and she opened the envelope and her eyes widened.“Is this real?”I nod, “I'm the Queen so trust me when I say it's real and now you and Cato are free to marry and move out of that little shack behind my house,”S
