Chapter 9
Jasmine's POV
I looked at myself in the mirror and what stared back at me was a horrified, extremely sad girl.
How my life had drastically changed in the couple of hours following my mother's departure with Russo for the weekend still felt like a dream. I wanted to wake up and find out that everything was just one horrid nightmare. But like the dead rat and the note in blood that Hardin had left on my bed, it was real.
Hardin had done all of those things to me, each time without remorse or care.
He had touched me and my body had shamefully responded even though I hated everything. Even though I begged him to stop. And then he had put his...
I could not even say it. Just thinking about it made me sick.
And then he had paraded me in front of his friends like a slave and even made me to call him master after bringing them food by the pool.
I didn't know what to do. I felt like pulling my hair out. Perhaps I had pulled it during the night when I was asleep, if I could even call what little sleep I had gotten actual rest. Thanks to the nightmares that had plagued me.
And then there was the fact that Hardin actually messed with me.
My eyes were red and swollen and when I finally finished scrubbing my skin in the bathroom, so hard that I thought I was going to peel it off, I looked at the time and saw that according to my mother's message, they would be arriving in a couple of hours.
She had called but I had been terrified that I would break down in tears if I heard her voice so I had lied about having a sore throat and opted to text instead.
I needed to do a better job of hiding my feelings, if I didn't want my mother to catch on to what was going on.
My head spun and I realized that I had not eaten anything yesterday, save some fruit. I was too depressed to ingest something.
I needed my strength if I was going to fake being happy when my mother and Russo arrived.
I stepped out of my room hesitantly, looking towards the end of the hallway where Hardin's room was just beside mine and just as I was about to head down the stairs, he came out of his room.
His face brightened with wicked glee when he saw me. Immediately, I turned around and tried to enter my room but he was faster, pulling me by the arm as I just reached the doorknob.
"Why, hello to you too, Jasmine. I guess a cat got your tongue and you cannot greet anymore? No hello? No how was your night?"
"Get the hell away from me." I screamed and my eyes widened in shock at what I had just blurted out. My hopes that Hardin would ignore my outburst went down the bin, like everything else and his face darkened in annoyance.
"So, because I didn't come to drag you out of that room last night, you've forgotten who runs things in this house? Or you think I had suddenly decided to give you peace?"
"No. I..." He pulled me by the arm towards his bedroom, dragging me inside and glaring at me when I cried loudly.
"Make one more sound again and I'm going to make sure you regret it."
"Please, Hardin."
"Wrong answer" He growled and pushed me towards the bed, spanking my ass so hard I had to bit down on my cheek until I tasted blood so that I would not scream.
"It seems you've forgotten who I am and who you are in this house. Take off your dress." He growled and my eyes widened.
I was terrified that he was about to touch me again.
I hesitated, my hands wrapping around the floor length dress that I had thrown on, and holding it against my body protectively and he chuckled, his lips tilted up as he shook his head.
"This pretense does not suit you, Jasmine. You and I both know that you're a little whore and I'm not the only one who has seen that banging body hiding beneath that dress."
"What are you talking about?" I whispered, genuinely bewildered.
Where had he gotten the idea that I had slept with different guys when in fact I was a virgin and had not even had my first kiss?
He was the first person who had seen my naked body, had touched me and used me for his pleasure against my will?
The smile fell from his face at my question and he gripped my chin with anger, smashing his lips against mine in one move and sticking his tongue inside my mouth when I gasped.
When he pulled back, he pushed me on his bed and I struggled. My pleas mixed with sobs as he pulled my dress over my head forcefully and pinned my hand over my head, his eyes taking in my breasts with unhidden interest.
I was disgusted with him and myself when my legs tightened to stop my pussy from throbbing after he discarded my bra and pinched my nipple.
"Look at you, saying one thing again and meaning another."
His cock tented his jeans and in one move, he quickly discarded it, moving back to kneel on either side of my body, his cock in front of my face as one hand held my hands above my head and the other played with my nipples.
Groaning, he slapped my face and pushed his cock into my mouth, throwing his head back.
"Fuck. For a dirty little slut, your mouth feels like heaven."
And then there were no more words as he fucked my mouth hard, pinching my breasts and growling loud enough to shake the entire room.
My eyes watered and I gagged as he thrust in and out of my mouth and when he suddenly paused, I thought he was going to cum inside my mouth but instead he removed his cock from my mouth and came all over my breasts.
Tears fell from my eyes as he stood up and looked at me from the foot of the bed, my breasts covered in his cum with delight.
Moving forward, he rubbed my clit and grinned when he found my entrance wet and slick.
"So, you do enjoy my cock in your mouth, don't you?"
I couldn't speak, shaking violently on the bed as I sobbed and he threw my dress at me.
"Get out."
He didn't need to tell me twice.
Throwing on my dress, I ran into my room still covered in his cum and bent over the toilet to vomit.
After that, I rushed into the bathroom to scrub my skin, searing hot water pooling from the showers and cried hard. Was it so terrible that my mother had married Hardin's father?
When I came out in my robe and found him sitting on my bed, I wanted to scream and pull out my hair but he raised his hand.
"Our parents have arrived. Just came here to remind you to keep your mouth shut and be a good girl. Or else, there'll be hell to pay. And apply some powder. You look like a ghost." He said and left the room and I quickly threw on some clothes, brushed my hair and powdered my face.
The last thing I wanted was for my mother to suspect anything.
"Oh, look at you. Why do you look so pale and tired?" My mother said as I was engulfed in her arms and when I looked over my shoulder, Hardin stood there, his smile almost innocent like he had not made my life a living hell this weekend and I knew that it was only a matter of time before I reported him.
I would have to summon the courage soon enough.
Pulling back from my mom, I feigned a smile and excused myself, lying that I had homework to do.
The truth was that if I stayed longer in her arms, I would break down in tears and would not be able to pretend as perfectly as Hardin that everything was alright.
Because nothing was alright.
Absolutely nothing.
Heading to my room, I thought of calling Nadia but what would I say? I didn't want to get her in trouble with Hardin just because I could not keep my mouth shut.
Sitting on the ground beside my bed, I wiped my tears and was surprised when my phone rang and it was Nadia.
Had I called her by mistake first?
Clearing my throat, I answered the call and her panic was the first thing I could sense in her tone.
"Jazz, where have you been? I've been blowing up your phone with messages for the past hour."
"Why? What is it?"
"There's something on social media about you and it's bad, Jasmine. It is very bad."
Chapter 10Hardin's POVOne of the advantages of the fact that my father had built his mansion in the woods, was the expanse of land that we were surrounded by. It was easy to shift and run in the woods. It was also easy to get some exercise in it, if you wanted to do it outside and if there was one things wolves hated, it was feeling claustrophobic.I had just finished running and I stood in the clearing behind our house where I had set two goal posts and lined the field with chalk.We had a lacrosse game coming up soon against the neighboring town and as the captain, it would be a damn shame to be out of form and lose the game when we had managed to retain our winning streaks since the season started.As I removed my shirt and threw it on the grass, I picked up the lacrosse stick and ball and stood in the center of the field that I had created and demarcated, ready to train when my mind went to Jasmine.With the way she had looked at me when our parents had returned from their trip
Chapter 11Jasmine's POVThere was a knock on the door to my room and I wiped my eyes quickly, turning and ready to tear into Hardin if he was the one.I was terrified of him and what he could do to me but I did not deserve any of this.And if he was coming here to rub in the fact that he had yet again succeeded in ruining my life with that useless rumor, then he would be in for a surprise because I would not cower.And it didn't matter what the consequences would be this time because what had he not already done?The door opened and when Nadia stepped in, with her smile hesitant, I released a breath that I didn't know I was holding and sniffed, more tears rolling down my eyes.Her face softened and she opened her arms wide as she ran to pull me into a hug."Oh, my sweet friend, I'm so sorry. I brought those cookies that you like so much." She said gently.Pulling back, I widened my eyes."You did?" I said tearfully and she nodded, cleaning my eyes with her hand and leading me towards
Chapter 12Jasmine's POV"Maybe I should not have come to school," Was the first thing I thought to myself when I stepped inside the hallway.But I was so desperate to prove to myself, to Hardin and the entire school that they did not break me, especially after what had happened in the hallway yesterday, and then when he had abandoned me in the closet, crying my eyes out.I had gone straight home immediately, afraid that I would be harassed some more or worse, have to explain to Nadia why I looked like I had cried my eyeballs out and was worried that I would not be able to keep it a secret.My mother had come up to visit me when I had refused to come down, worried that I would not be able to eat if Hardin was sitting at that table and stomach the smirk on his face for making me cum even though it was without my consent and made me absolutely disgusted by myself.I hated him so much for making me unable to tell my mother the truth like I had always done growing up, because I was worrie
Chapter 13Jasmine's POVMaybe it was because I was sitting on the floor, my hands holding my face that I was sure was turning red. But Hardin looked larger than life where he stood, his hands folded as he raised his eyebrows in question.He looked like a predator in that moments, his eyes narrowing at the scene in front of him and his expression stoic in a way that was threatening and made me swallow nervously.I wanted to believe that he was truly aware of Dahlia's involvement in spearheading the spread of the rumour about me throwing myself at him but from the way his eyes watched Dahlia and the way her face paled in fear as she looked at him, I doubted that it was."Hardin, it's not what it looks like." Dahlia started but when Hardin raised a hand, she fell silent."The rest of you, get out." He said calmly and immediately, all the other girls ran away, looking relieved that they would not be here to witness whatever was about to happen.Dahlia was about to move when Hardin raise
Chapter 14Jasmine's POV"Jazz, hi, good morning, you really need to check your messages. Something big has happened." Nadia said over the phone and I froze in front of the entrance into the school hallway, my throat closing up as panic suddenly hit me.What was happening?Had something else been spread about me in less than twenty four hours?Did I need to turn back and head home?"Jazz, are you there?" I heard her say, and even though the phone was on my ear, her words seemed so far away.Was I having a panic attack?"Jazz, where are you? Are you still there? Jazz!" Nadia screamed into the phone, her voice sounding panicked and I inhaled deeply and tried to look around my surroundings."I'm in front of the entrance" I managed to murmur and I found a tree to lean against, sitting on the ground as I counted backwards, trying to relax.Nadia appeared in front of me a few minutes later and her eyes widened as she knelt in front of me."What happened? You look so pale." Reaching inside h
Chapter 15Jasmine's POV"What the hell are you doing here, Hardin?" I whisper yelled, looking outside the door of my room to be sure no one was coming up before I closed the door and rested against it."I give you a couple of days of peace and you're back to having a smart ass mouth, Jasmine. Well, the talk about the mice starting to play when the cat's away is quite useful in this situation or don't you think so?"He rose to his feet and walked towards where I stood, stopping mere inches away from me and when he looked down at me with a devious smirk, my heart skipped and panic made me move away from him.That was a mistake because immediately I moved away from the door, he locked it and pocketed the keys, grinning mischievously and my eyes widened."Not so smart, are you now, Jasmine. You are playing right into my hands, right where I want you, cowering and shaking.""What the hell do you want from me, Hardin? A thank you?"The smile wiped off his face and he wrapped a hand around
Chapter 16Jasmine's POVWhen I came down for breakfast, I was not surprised that Hardin wasn't there, but it made me even more curious about what happened last night.What had he and his father argued about to make him look so distressed and upset? And why had he come to my bedroom and stayed like that?For someone who was very scared of what he was capable of, I was ashamed of how quickly I had slept off while I sat on the ground beside him, watching as he sat still, not even sure if he was awake because his head was on his knees.But I had fallen asleep as I kept watch and had woken up on my bed, draped in my bed covers.It was something anyone would expect Hardin to do. Abandon me on the floor? That was what I expected from him. But this was new and unlike him. Just like how he had not been the one responsible for that rumor and had taken it upon himself to clear my name.He was confusing me and I didn't know what he was up to."Take this to school and give to Hardin." My mother s
Chapter 17Jasmine's POVIf I wasn't so scared of the fact that Hardin's eyes were glowing and his fangs were out in what he honestly believed was a smile, then I would have been fascinated by how easy it came for him.It was no secret that for some reason, I was not capable of turning into my wolf. The highest I could summon were my claws and even that was so laughable to do when I knew that I could not transform so I didn't even bother to do that.Nadia had always tried her possible best to not talk about shifting or anything about her werewolf in front of me even though I had told her several times that she could. I guessed that she was doing me a favour.Because now, as Hardin's face changed and went back to normal with so much ease, I wanted to ask him to do it again so I could watch and remember that the chances that I would ever be able to do that were zero to none."I will not repeat myself, Jasmine." He growled and I blinked, walking back to where he was sitting and lowering
CHAPTER 80~Jasmine.Sinking into the rocking chair, I racked my brain for a new lullaby to sing, as I had already sung the ones I had at the top of my fingers. I looked down at the little infant who was yawning out of tiredness yet had refused to fall asleep.I smiled as I rubbed his little nose, just when I had thought I had known love, someone little came to remind me of how big it is. He had these sparkly blue eyes just like his Dad and with the way he was fighting so hard not to yield into sleep, I bet he would be as stubborn as his father is.A new relaxing poem rushed into my brain and just as I began humming the lyrics and rocking to its tune, the door to the room opened and Hardin walked in.“He still hasn't fallen asleep?” He whispered as he gently closed the door behind him and I shook my head in negation, “Ugh, he is as stubborn as his mother,” he said in mock annoyance and rolled his eyes.“As stubborn as me?” I asked, and he chuckled and gave me a light kiss on the lips
HardinJasmine had said that she loved me, and had helped me walk through the phase where I had to get over mom’s death especially after hearing that it was all for a petty revenge, and all of her actions threw it at my face that I had done nothing, and was rather banking at the fact that she had easily let all my sins slide. But it was not what I wanted. The only problem being that at the moment, I was still lost on what to do. I still felt guilty, because every everytime that I told her how sorry I was, she said that everything was fine and that she had really forgiven me. Camila and Russo had also mentioned about how I was probably acting out of ignorance and had accepted that I was set to turn a new leaf. The joy in the house had returned, and Camila and Russo had planned so many dates for me and Jasmine to get better than we already were. Thanks to them, it was working really well. Everything at home did feel like it was working perfectly well, if my wolf did not keep haunting
JasmineThe moment those words had left my mouth, I wanted to cringe. Feeling stupid, I wrenched my hand away from his and ran as far as I could. Acting as the best man there is in the world, did not feel enough to me, to make up for all Hardin had done. My heart might have flustered a little after Hardin's words, but my vengeful conscience was not a very forgiving person. His words had moved me for a moment, but going back to our past and all that Hardin had put me through, I just couldn't find myself forgiving him so easily, especially over spoken words. Was I supposed to just give in, and welcome him back? What if he decided to go against his words one day, I would be the one hurting and not him. "But he's proven himself to you Jasmine, he's your mate" my wolf reminded me but I wasn't listening. Being my mate was not enough of an excuse to buy him forgiveness. Had I not been his mate, would he have felt sorry that he tortured and harassed me all these while? If for anything, Ha
Chapter 77JasmineOut of the corner of my eye, I only caught wisps of dissipating smoke, when out of nowhere a massive caramel blur moving at a high speed slammed into the oncoming beast to send it crashing backwards to the trees.A positively huge wolf covered in familiar brown colored fur prowled around in the middle of the clearing. I did a double take at this newcomer and only then had I recognized it was Hardin. They circled each other for several moments before leaping at once. Possessing greater body mass in his current form, Lorenzo pushed the brown wolf backwards. But in a show of skill that convinced me that it was definitely Hardin, the brown wolf fell on its back and kicked the black one over it.Rolling onto his feet, he dashed after the beast, biting and clawing at everywhere he found entry until Lorenzo threw out an attack that made Hardin retreat. I continued watching in terror as Lorenzo lunged at him to grab his head. Slinking under the beast's large arms, Hardin
Chapter 76Jasmine.I exhaled deeply and released the breath that I wasn’t aware I was holding in as Hardin rounded the third round and successfully made it to the stop. My heart thumped, even though my face was void of emotion, as I watched him step out of his car with a proud smile on his face, but I tried my best not to show my happiness. I was glad that Hardin had won but I was happier that he was the one to be proclaimed my mate.I kept my eyes on Hardin as he looked up at dad and mom, who were looking down at him with so much pride. And when he turned to me, I locked my eyes, pulling him into a staring contest. It was not until we heard Lorenzo’s car screech loudly before coming to a halt that he turned his eyes away to look at Lorenzo. I kept my gaze, still, fixed on him without even caring to look down at Lorenzo who was now accusing Hardin of cheating his way through the competition.“The young lad would have dropped dead by now had your eyes been guns,” Mom said, rubbing my
Chapter 75.~Hardin. Nobody would have probably believed me but, I was damn serious when I said I could give up my position as the Alpha if that was what it would take Jasmine to forgive me, I thought as I walked through the hallway.I had wronged her and I didn't realize my wrongdoings early enough to apologize. I was sorry now and was willing to prove it but, first, I needed to make her see reasons why she should forgive me.And I intended to do that, right until Lorenzo interrupted my thought with a growl that came at me. With a frown on my face, “What is it Lorenzo?” I asked. “Don’t try to be innocent with me, Hardin!” He bawled out immediately, and I wondered for a start, if Lorenzo was even sensible enough to realize that for one of the first times since I had known him, I just wanted to have a peaceful talk with him, without having to throw punches. “Innocent?” I scoffed. “You know that is one thing that I would not dare. Good thing, I don’t find myself pretending like you
Chapter 74Jasmine For the most part of the night, I struggled to sleep.I spent it thinking about what I was going to do and I must have dozed off again, thankfully without having to wake up in the middle of the night this time, because there was a knock on the door and when I opened my eyes, the sun was already up. “Who is it?” I muttered out, as a yawn escaped my lips. I had definitely placed my neck in the wrong position while I slept, because it was hurting terribly. “It’s Lily. I have a message for you from the Alpha.” The quaint voice said. Massaging my neck, I left the bed and opened the door, to meet Lily standing with a tray of food in her hands. I must have slept so long, I could not even meet with breakfast at the table. “Your mother asked me to bring this up. Can I bring it in?”I nodded and moved aside for her to enter. “Thank you,” I mentioned as she kept it for me. And when she made to leave, she halted in her steps and turned back, causing my eyes to narrow.
Chapter 73JasmineI went for a run in the woods, ignoring the whine of my wolf as I ran farther away from Hardin, but the last thing I wanted right now was to see him. How could he expect me to just accept him back after everything?He had even organized a ball to pick a mate because he would rather do that than admit to himself that he could be responsible for my pregnancy, choosing to call me a little whore because it served his purpose of not taking accountability for his actions.I could not believe that I had gone and fallen for him despite everything, that somewhere along the line, I had stopped hating him and started hoping he was just misunderstood, but if he thought that just because we were mates that I was going to accept him then he had another thing coming.My wolf whined but I ignored her, changing our course and decided to run towards the house.If there was an option to go somewhere else, I would have as I was not yet ready to face my parents.What was mom and Dad goi
Chapter 72 HardinThe only thing that kept me from falling back after I had heard what Jasmine said, was the pillar that I had held as a support. Even as it was not physical - her words, the gravity of my guilt immediately clouded my mind and I hated myself for how terrible I had been all along. That the baby in her womb was mine? And that as much as I can be the way that I am, she would never be so reckless as to have some sort of intimacy with any other man. I had been a terrible person all along, with the way I just thrust my dick into any lady’s hole. “I have been terrible,” I muttered out. And then, remembering how I had not just had sex with other girls, but brought them to Jasmine’s knowledge by making her watch videos made me cringe. I was completely shocked at everything Jasmine said to Lorenzo. I didn't know this was how she felt till now and I feel like a total idiot, a sadist and a maniac. I'll have to apologize sincerely to her. It was not something I enjoyed doing,
