Jasmine could hardly believe what was happening. First she was at the party, serving drinks, and then the next she was tossed harshly to the ground in front of everyone.She was actually told about the party, but she had no idea about why they were hosting the party. But she was told by Mrs. Jane to come and work there, and she did just that, but the least she was expecting was being tossed to the ground. She also earned a perplexed look from everyone. She tried to stand up weakly and glanced to look at Dylan, who stood in front of her, close to his intimidating throne.“What are you doing?” Dylan heard his aunt ask in a whisper.Turning towards her. “Vivian, that question would be answered very soon,” he spoke and turned back to look at Jasmine with a cold gaze.“This right here is the sister of the man who killed my father. Her brother fled with his parents, but she was caught doing the same. I have passed my judgment already, and I believe it's the best judgment that would suit he
Her body almost hit the floor, but he caught her midway. Everyone was stunned by his swift movement and the look in his eyes as he stared right at her with a shocked face, they hadn't seen him look that way before, and they tried to understand the look in his eyes.Dylan wasted no time, he quickly carried her into his arms and rushed out of the place at a fast pace. Travis's eyes followed him until he was out of sight. He turned to look at the people again with a frown. “His Highness will address this in tomorrow's meeting with the council.” He said.Turning around, he gave a bow to Sebastian and his mother before walking out quickly.Everything was happening too fast and Sebastian had to end the dinner party since it was already ruined. He led his mother out of the room as they headed to her room.“What just happened?” She asked him immediately as they stepped into the room.“I don't know, as well, everything happened so fast.” He said.“Was that the plan?” She asked him with a susp
Dylan's eyes almost popped out when he saw the room in chaos as the doctor kept yelling while the nurse rushed to follow his instructions. It was like a horror movie playing in front of him, and he prayed that it was really a horror movie. However, he looked at Jasmine's face through the little glass on the door, he could feel his heart crushing this time, and he took him forever just to walk to the door to take a better look.His eyes were teary, heart heavy, body weak and his mind blank. All he could see was Jasmine lying unconscious on the bed while the doctor and nurse ran helter-skelter around the room. He gasped when her breathing went up, alerting the door.The nurse from earlier came back and tapped his shoulder. “Please Alpha, can I go in?” She asked politely, but the look on her face alone was enough to tell him that it wasn't a request but a statement because he did otherwise than the person inside would die and getting that part clearly, he immediately stepped away fro
“Are you okay?” He asked worriedly. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Jasmine nodded, sighed and looked around the place. She tried to sit up, but Dylan was quick to sit her back down.“What are you doing? You need to rest,” he told her as he tugged her back to bed.She nodded eyes and she was restless. “What happened?” She asked dryly.“Someone threw a knife at you,” he mentioned.Her eyes widened a bit, but she sighed out of exhaustion. “Did you bring me here?”He nodded. “I brought you here immediately,” he said, looking at her closely.“Why? I thought you would be happy if I died. Remember I killed your father, or was it my people? Which other way, you should've rejoiced instead of bringing me here,” she said bitterly. She remembered his harsh words as he told everyone that she was a murderer and that resulted in her getting stone at. So, why exactly did he bring her here when he should be happy that she was at the brink of life and death.Dylan frowned when he heard what she s
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.
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
