She opened her eyes only to shut them back immediately when something bright almost blinded her. She used her hand to cover the bright light. The light moved to the side, giving her the chance to blink repeatedly. Afterwards, she finally realized that it was a flashlight. Why on earth would anyone need a light, when she was certain that it was probably day time by now? This made her curious, so she tried to see more clearly and adjust to the room. She could finally see more clearly. She tried to stand up, but the light flashed back to her eyes. Furthermore, she winced and covered her eyes again, but then she heard footsteps approaching her.“Dylan? Is that you?” Where was she?Something about this moment terrified her, and she instinctively moved back against the wall. Wait, this room was small. She pointed out with her eyes searching everywhere inside the dim room. Who owns this place, and what do they want from her? Was it Dylan that brought her here, or she was deceived and kidn
The guards came, they unlocked the metal door and pulled her out. They didn’t her take anything with her, just the key that opened her cell door and put on a pair of handcuffs over her wrists. Then they shoved her outside of the prison, holding onto both sides of her waist as they pulled her with them, making sure she couldn’t fall off their shoulders.As soon as she felt the cold touch on her skin, she shivered. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been outside. How long had it been? The months were starting to blur together, and she had no idea where she was or how many days she had gone by now.The cold air hit her hard and she started feeling dizzy. Her legs wobbled as she struggled to keep her feet firm on the ground.She didn't dare look at the guard, afraid that her face would betray her emotions, and that she would start crying, which wasn't a good idea since they were holding her so firmly.Soon she felt their hands loosen up, and then her hands fell on her hips. She
“How is this butch still alive? Did that Alpha actually let you live after what you did? Did he ever consider killing you deliberately?! No. Of course not. Why should he? You are nothing but a pathetic omega who betrayed us.” Vivian said and paused for a moment.She could hear them from the corner, but she wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying next.She was focusing on calming her beating heart. Every time her breath hitched, her heart pounded even harder against her rib cage. And every time she noticed how close he was to her, her body tensed involuntarily, as if it was preparing itself for some sort of attack.It was getting unbearable. She needed a distraction. Anything to distract her mind. She had to think about anything else besides the intense panic she was experiencing.And then her thoughts moved toward her brother.He really didn't care about her, even though he probably hated her too, she just wished they would at least have a heart. And what about Dylan, whose f
Dylan sat on the couch in his room quietly, enjoying the peace of the silent room, he couldn't help but wonder if she marked him as evil.Or maybe he was evil after all, and he couldn't blame anyone for it. It was his wish to act that way… Maybe that was the feeling that emanated from him. Especially Jasmine who hated him the most, in fact, he doubted that anyone would actually hate him except Jasmine.Jasmine. He still remembered what happened to her and he should really punish those who hurt her that day.But, no matter how much his brain would protest that the thought didn’t make any sense at all, Dylan knew deep down he wasn't wrong…that there were other things he could have done. Things his mind couldn't conjure up a reason for why he had to do. It didn't even make sense to him anymore. But, Dylan supposed, there was always hope for people like him who'd been through something like that—someone with a lot of power in their hands, but who lacked the control they needed to stop.
Dylan's heart raced as he watched the guards search the hospital frantically. They seemed to be everywhere at once, moving quickly from room to room, calling out Jasmine's name. Despite their efforts, there was still no sign of her.Dylan's fear was palpable. He couldn't help but think of all the worst-case scenarios that could be happening to her. Had someone taken her? Was she hurt somewhere, unable to call for help? Or had she simply vanished into thin air?He paced back and forth, trying to keep his mind from spiraling out of control.The minutes ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity. Dylan's anxiety grew with each passing second, his mind racing with thoughts of what could have happened to her.Finally, after what felt like hours, the guards returned to Dylan with grim expressions on their faces and said something to him. Something he didn't quiet understand. "What?" He asked, his brows coming together inquisitively. Dylan's heart raced as the guard spoke, his words echo
His mind was consumed with worry and fear for Jasmine. He had barely slept the night before, his mind racing with thoughts of where she could be and what could have happened to her. Dylan entered the meeting room with purpose, but the dark expression on his face was enough to make anyone in the room uneasy. The room was a large and spacious conference hall, with a long rectangular table stretching down the middle. The conference table was filled with a large number of people, each of them looking up as he entered.. The table was surrounded by a large number of chairs, with one for each attendee. The room was well-lit, with large windows on one side that let in plenty of natural light.There were at least thirty people in attendance, each dressed in their finest The air in the room was tense, with a feeling of anticipation hanging heavy in the air. It was clear that everyone was there for an important purpose, and each person had something they wanted to contribute.As the meeting g
Travis listened intently as Dylan spoke, nodding his head sympathetically. When Dylan finished, Travis placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "It's either she was kidnapped or she is in hiding, probably trying to avoid her fate as a slave that she is."Dylan's mind was racing as he tried to process what Travis had just said. The thought of Jasmine being kidnapped or in hiding was too much for him to bear. He had always known that the world was a dangerous place, but he never imagined that someone would take Jasmine away from him.As he thought about Travis's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt wash over him. He had left Jasmine alone at the hospital, thinking that she would be safe there. But now, he realized that he had made a grave mistake. He should have never left her side.Dylan's heart was pounding in his chest as he tried to think of what to do next. He knew that he had to find Jasmine, no matter what. He couldn't bear the thought of her being in danger, and he w
Jasmine found herself in an old abandoned house at the outskirts of the city. It was a small house with broken windows, graffiti on the walls, and cobwebs covering every corner. The house looked like it had been vacant for years, and it seemed like the perfect hiding place for Jasmine.As she looked around the house, she noticed how dirty and dusty everything was. The floors were covered in debris and the walls were peeling off in some places. Despite the condition of the house, Jasmine felt a sense of comfort knowing that she was finally safe from the horrors she had experienced.Jasmine made her way to the living room area and found a dusty old couch to sit on. She sat there for a few minutes, staring blankly at the wall in front of her, trying to process everything that had happened to her. She couldn't believe how quickly her life had changed in just a few days.Days went by and Jasmine continued to stay hidden in the old house. She spent most of her time reading, sleeping, and ea
Anita turned around only to see Dylan and Travis standing there."Guards!" Dylan called angrily. "Cease her and check her room to see if there's anything there. Tomorrow would be set for your punishment."Dylan watched the guards dragging her away as she begged for him to listen to her. "Your Highness, I saw this in her room and many more." Dylan grabbed the letters and only then held information."That woman," he growled angrily."Travis," Jasmine beamed and quickly rushed to hug him. "Oh my God, I'm glad you're okay.""Yeah me too," he hugged her back. She pulled back and turned to Andrew. "You look okay as well, though as if you had a heart attack?" She teased and he smiled at her."Believe me when I say I never thought a heart attack would come in handy." He winked and she laughed.The rest were confused by their interaction but Jasmine and Andrew understood each other. She turned next to see Janice which made her smile widen."Janice, I've missed you. Where were you?""I'm sorr
"Who are you?" The king asked angrily.His aunt shifted closer to the king to whisper into his ears. The king's eyes widened in surprise."Oh so you're Dylan, my rival. I never knew I would be having you here tonight if not I could've been expecting your presence. But nothing has gone wrong and I think it would be wise if I give you the honor to serve the king which most servants find hard."Dylan knew better that he was mocking him and he wasn't surprised when the king signaled the servants to bring in drinks."Let him serve the king," the king laughed devilishly. Dylan clenched his fists when the guard offered him drinks to hold up for the king. His aunt smirked at him.So this was where she was all this while. He should've known better than to expect anything less from that family. Just remembering everything that he got to know from Sebastian made him boil but he held it in.Dylan bore the humiliation until he was done being a slave under the king. He waited patiently and slowly
Dylan felt restless and he felt the need to talk to someone, anyone in particular. He stood and found himself walking to the dungeon only to hear a sound coming from close by.He paid close attention and rushed over when he saw a guard struggling with blood all over him."What happened?""A... Attack. We're under attack," he struggled to say. Dylan looked close and saw the stabbed wound on his chest. He stood up and rushed over to where he believed Andrew was but no one was there. He became worried she quickly rushed to Jasmine's room but it was also empty. "No!" He screamed as his heart beat in his ears loudly."This can't be happening," he said while fidgeting in the room. What is going on? His rival was fast enough or maybe he was distracted instead."I see everything seems to be a shock to you," he heard a familiar voice from close by."Sebastian," he spat angrily as he turned around."I wasn't expecting you to find out this way, in fact, I wasn't expecting you to find out at al
Dylan's eyes scanning the crowd before him. The people had gathered in the main square, eager to hear what their leader had to say. They whispered amongst themselves, wondering what this urgent announcement could be about."Dylan, Dylan, Dylan!" they chanted, as he raised his hands for silence."Everyone," Dylan began, his voice carrying across the square. "Today, I stand before you with a heavy heart. It has come to my attention that one of our own has betrayed us. One of our own has been stolen from the kingdom's treasury."The crowd gasped, their eyes widening in shock and disbelief."I speak of none other than my own friend, Travis," Dylan continued, his voice trembling with emotion. "He has been banished from this kingdom, never to return."The crowd erupted into a mixture of cheers and jeers. Some were happy to see justice being served, while others were outraged at the banishment of one of their own.Dylan continued to speak, his voice growing louder and more forceful. "I assu
Dylan sent her away after and she dragged herself away from him. Dylan paced around his room and he found it rather unsettling with her calm and silent she was. What was going on with her?He shook his head and decided to go and check on things himself. He also needed to go to the meeting with the elders concerning the war. He went off to the place and was startled to see the guards already there and waiting for him."What is going on?" He asked them with a frown."There's something you need to know, alpha," they said immediately as he sat down."What is that?" He asked with a creased face."We found out that someone is stealing from us."He furrowed his brows. "Who could that can?""Well, before your return Travis wanted to keep everything safe so for that reason he decided to keep things under his watch and that means taking in some things is his responsibility.""He took the royal guard for example until you returned before he gave them back to you. Well with that said, my lord Tra
Dylan was stunned by the news he just got. He was already feeling guilty for locking Jasmine up and he was already regretting everything he did but he tried not to let it disturb him. Yet he had this feeling like she failed her and he needed her to trust him.He sighed and looked around the room in frustration. He couldn't even trust her and yet here he was bothering her after all the lies she told him. However, he felt alone and needed her by his side. He suddenly felt like she should be worth him and not far from him.What was he going to do? He felt lost and he needed advice but had no one to meet. The only person he could meet for advice also betrayed him. Who should be really trusted then. He shook his head as ye tried to control his thoughts.Was there any chance for him to find true love? He doubted there was. Not after what has happened to him. He looked around the room and sighed. What should he do?He loved Jasmine but she ended up breaking him as well. She broke him the mos
She took in deep breaths as she stared through the door and watched as they all walked around. She felt relieved but at the same time bothered by their presence, just needed to escape."So what is the plan?" She heard his voice from behind her."What else than to make sure we get out of here." She immediately crouched to his level. "I think it's best if we act it up, like act as if you're having a heart attack or something.""Would that work? I mean there is a higher possibility that it won't work at all.""Well we have no other option but to try." She revealed and sighed. "I just want to leave this place before it's too late," she replied."How can you do that?" "Simply by act, exactly what I just told you. That would be the simplest way out of here and you know I'm telling the truth.""I guess you're correct but I think guards wouldn't fall for such tricks immediately.""Then it's our job to make them fall. Look, I'm trying my best to leave here and you and I know how impossible it
"Hello…" She called him but he refused to speak to her or even turn to look at her."Aren't you… aren't you the physician who treated me?" Jasmine asked as she approached him and began to speak to him.After hearing that, he turned his eyes but didn't turn to look at her."What are you doing here sir? Did Sebastian send you here after he got stabbed or who did?" Jasmine asked him and on hearing that, Andrew turned to look at who was talking to him."You….I recognize you. Why are you here? Who brought you here?" Andrew asked her as soon as he saw Jasmine and recognized her."It was not a funny experience sir. I got kidnapped and ended up here." Jasmine replied simply."And no one has come to save you?" He asked in surprise."Yes, no one did and I even doubt if anyone even knows that I went missing." She replied again."And how is what you are saying even possible? Was Dylan the one that put you here? What did you do to him for him to keep you here ?" He asked her but she just sighed."
She leaned against the cool surface and waited for the dizziness to subside. That smell... She remembered it somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes focused on the wall again and she realized that it was getting lighter. She looked around cautiously but everything seemed normal.Nothing was out of place and the floor was covered by the carpet. Everything looked exactly the same. Except for the feeling in the air. It felt thick and oppressive but at the same time warm and comfortable.The strange scent began to disappear when a bright light appeared.No shadows. No dark shapes. Just light. It was definitely coming from the windows, which were open. How did it get open without opening it first? The only explanation was that somebody opened it. Or perhaps... she thought as a shiver ran through her. The smell was getting stronger. She closed her eyes and concentrated on listening closely.Except that the smell continued, stronger and stronger. Was that what she smelled ear
