Sebastian couldn't hide his shock at her words, but quickly covered it with a small smile.Sebastian gulped when she started talking.“I'm afraid that our plans for Dylan will not work if we don't start moving soon. So please, just listen. Once he is no longer a threat to you, we'll move to the main plan.” He tried to explain to her.“Ok.” she agreed, surprising Sebastian reluctantly.“Now, are you going to stop talking like you have no opinion on this plan?”“Yes. What should I talk about to get you to trust me?”“Talk normal to me, not like I'm speaking in tongues.”“I'm sorry, mom.”“Great. Now go to bed, you should rest before we arrive tomorrow. I want to see you rested and alert during the whole meeting with our allies today.” She ordered, and Sebastian obeyed without any further question. His mother waited until he had gone into his bedroom before she began walking away and planning some things.The morning came and Sebastian got ready as quickly as he could. He looked at hims
The person was none other than the king and he made himself comfortable in a chair made right just got him.He was sarcastic and planned to help Sebastian under a condition that his mother didn't want him to know.Sebastian decided to let them be as he excused himself. It might be a long time since he came her but he was still familiar with the place and he knew some of his people were here. He just had to meet them.Sebastian knew that he couldn't do this alone. That's why he had gathered allies beforehand to take over the throne from Dylan. So, he contacted some men who he believed would be on his side. They agreed to meet him outside the pack walls, in a secluded area where they wouldn't be spotted.As Sebastian arrived at the meeting spot, he could see the men waiting for him in the distance. He could feel the tension building up inside him as he approached them, unsure of whether they would be on his side or not. But as he got closer, he could see the determination in their eyes
As soon as the decision was made, everyone in the room stood up from their seats. Sebastian nodded to them, indicating that they could leave the room. The atmosphere had become much tenser than before, and the feeling of unease was palpable.The group quickly dispersed, making their way towards the entrance of the abandoned building. The sound of their footsteps echoed loudly in the empty halls, adding to the already eerie atmosphere. Cobwebs brushed against their faces and hair as they made their way through the dusty corridors, eager to leave this place behind.Sebastian led the way, his heart pounding in his chest as he thought about what they've just decided to do. He could feel the weight of their decision resting heavily on his shoulders. He knew that there was no turning back now. They had made their choice, and they must see it through to the end.As they finally reached the entrance, Sebastian took one last look back at the abandoned building, feeling a little bit unease.
Jasmine nodded, her eyes darting around nervously as she tried to regain composure. She took a few calming breaths, closing her eyes and forcing herself to focus on her breathing. Finally, her lungs relaxed a bit, and the pain faded away, although only marginally.Dylan looked at her in worry and said, “try to relax.”She looked at him, tears welling in her eyes. “I can't breathe…” she murmured, struggling to speak.Dylan nodded. He knew exactly how she felt. “Just attempt to relax,” he instructed calmly. “Try to slow your breathing.”His heart constricted as she attempted to follow his instructions. He held on to both of her hands and continued to instruct her on how to breathe until she had calmed down enough. He felt terrible seeing her suffering and wished that he could resolve the issue, but he wasn't entirely sure how to do it himself. He was an empath, but didn't really know what to do.She shut her eyes tightly, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.As he watched Jasmine strug
Dylan took her outside of the palace, away from the commotion and chaos that had taken over. He led her through a path that took them into a beautiful countryside that seemed to stretch out endlessly in front of them. The greenery was lush and vibrant, and the sun was setting, casting a warm golden light over the entire landscape.Jasmine looked around in wonder, taking in the beauty of her surroundings. The air was fresh and crisp, and she could smell the sweet scent of wildflowers and fresh grass. She felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over her, and she turns to Dylan with a small smile."It's beautiful here," she says softly.Dylan nodded, a small smile forming on his lips. "This is where I come when I need to clear my head. It's my escape place."Jasmine looked at him curiously. "Why do you need to escape?"Dylan hesitated for a moment before answering. "Being an alpha king is not an easy job. There are so many responsibilities and expectations that come with it. Sometimes
As they made their way back from their run in the forest, Jasmine couldn't help but feel rejuvenated. The morning mist and the fresh air had done wonders for her. But her moment of peace was quickly interrupted as they stumbled upon Anitta.Jasmine noticed the jealousy in Anitta's eyes as she took in Dylan's drenched state. She could sense Anitta's disapproval of their closeness and felt a pang of guilt. However, she refused to let that get in the way of her feelings for Dylan."Good morning, Anitta," Dylan said, breaking the awkward silence."Good morning, Your Highness," Anitta replied with a polite smile.Jasmine could sense the tension between them and decided to break the ice. "Are you well, Anitta? You look a bit worried," she said, trying to sound friendly.Anitta's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "Oh, I'm fine, Your Highness. I was just thinking about the upcoming meeting. It's quite an important one, isn't it?"Dylan nodded in agreement. "Yes, i
Jasmine felt a sense of apprehension as she walked down the hallway towards Dylan's room right after her discussion with anita. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that Dylan was angry with her for some reason. She had tried to put on a brave face, but her heart was heavy with the weight of uncertainty.As she approached the door, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should even bother. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. When there was no answer, she called out softly, "Hello?"She had to know the truth. As she approached his door, she paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. She was about to confront him, and she needed to be calm.As she pushed the door open, she saw Dylan walking out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel. Her eyes widened as she took in the sight of him. He was even more attractive than she remembered, and her heart skipped a beat.Jasmine's eyes were fixed on the ground as she tried to avoid looking at Dylan. The
Dylan looked at her with a confused expression. "What are you spouting?" He asked, looking down at her while she was still in his embrace. Jasmine tried pulling away from him but he tightened his hand around her waist."What are you doing?" She asked with a frown."What do you think?""Let go of me," she demanded."Answer me first," he said, leaving no room for arguments."Nothing, I just think you are very fast when it comes to moving on," she said again.Dylan frowned. "You actually think I find it easy to move on but you're technically wrong about that," he stated."How?" She asked."If you think it is easy to move on then what about my father's death? Do you think I've forgotten about that?"Immediately she heard that, she was tense and looked surprised. She wasn't expecting to hear that from him and what would it really mean? That she was part of his father's death and he still remembered that?.Dylan noticed her tense body and he leaned down and kissed the exposed skin of her s
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
