Chapter 46 - Hardin

The issue of finding my mate was one thing that I had been trying my best to avoid, and now as the elders had brought up the topic, I did not know how to feel.

It was mainly because I was partly beginning to feel that I did not have a mate, which was probably the moon goddess punishment to me, for being the asshole that I was. It was a thing of great concern as I was going to be an Alpha, so I sincerely understood why they had to talk about it.

But it will have been much better if they had not brought it up at that point in time.

It was just two weeks ago, that Sandro found his mate, at a party that we attended. And before he found his mate, he was already worried, as Alex had found his mate way back in time.

Then there's me, older with some months, and of an Alpha blood, and still, I had not felt any sensation that was close to finding my mate.

My face immediately contorted into a frown, that Dad noticed, as he called my name.

    Chapter 47 - JasmineJasmineI walked from office to office checking out Hardin's academic performance. I was already familiar with most of the teachers in the school. My perfect grades and brilliant performance had me on their good list. Revealing scores to students before publishing wasn't allowed, but after ceaseless pestering I was able to get a peek at the score sheet.Some of the results had already been posted, and Hardin was doing very well in all his subjects. Nadia had also informed me that he was doing very well in lacrosse practice, and I was happy for him.After the incident at the field, I hadn't stepped foot back into their training ground. Nadia was the one who was keeping an eye on Hardin for me, and her reports were filled with positive results. Things weren't as perfect like this at home, but I was satisfied with the improvement in school.It wasn't exactly the best day, but I was happy about one thing at least. Hardin was beginning to pick up pace in his academics

But my second rejection seemed to have made things a bit clearer for him."Get away from me" I yelled as I pulled away from his touch."Get away from you? I thought you wanted this?" Lorenzo asked. He seemed to have misread our friendship. I did like him, but clearly not in the way he had in his mind."Wanted this? Is this what the whole friendship was about?""You are getting everything wrong, Jasmine," Lorenzo voiced out, and tried touching my cheeks again."Don't you dare," I said to Lorenzo, but it did feel like my words had little effects on him.At that moment, I began to regret all the decisions I had taken that day.If only I had just stayed away from Lorenzo as Hardin always warned? Or maybe, if I had gone home with Nadia or even Hardin?I had been trying all I could to escape Hardin's h

    Chapter 49 – JasmineHardinIt was a struggle to not scream at Jasmine as I brought her back home, Lorenzo trailing after us.When we arrived at the house, Lorenzo held her arm and she stopped, still shaken from almost being kidnapped, it made my anger towards her lessen a bit because it would have been insane if she had not been shaken after what had just happened.“Do you want me to stay?” He asked and I scoffed, fighting the urge to slap his hand away from her arm and resisting the stronger urge that I had to hold him by the neck and ask him questions about what they were doing and why he had put her in harm’s way even though I was sure that he had nothing to do with the kidnappers, considering how he had fought them off until I got there.I could not even begin to imagine what would have happened if I had gotten there a minute later than I have.When I saw the look on Jasmine’s face as I slapped Lorenzo’s hand away, I decided that perhaps I needed to tone down my anger.

Alex's voice dragged me away from my thoughts and when I finally looked away from the table that I had been staring at, I saw that his brows were raised in question as he gestured towards the direction that I had been looking at. It was of course, none other than Jasmine's table where she was sitting with her friend and Lorenzo, her knight in shining armour. I had called and spoken to him yesterday to discuss the attempted kidnapping and to gauge if I had been wrong to not suspect him for having a hand in the attempt and so far, other than him vowing to remain by her side and protect her, a promise that would have put me at ease if he was talking about any other person but Jasmine, he seemed to be in the clear which brought me back to square one. Who could have wanted to kidnap Jasmine and why? Of course this morning before I had left for school, my father had summoned me to his offi

    Chapter 51Hardin's POV"Welcome back captain." The team chorused as I stepped into the changing room and I grinned, finally able to rest and know that I was not under any pressure to keep the position any longer, especially because it involved trying not to show my intense dislike for Lorenzo. As I passed by him on the way to my locker, he smiled and I ignored him. "Congratulations on becoming captain of the team, again. Well deserved." He said in a calm voice that would have been believable from anybody else except him because not up to twenty four hours ago, he was still running against me for this very same position. It baffled me how composed he looked and I wondered why he had even run against me in the first place? Was it to piss me off because he had done an excellent job at it. I couldn't think of any reason why he did and suddenly dropped out. I bet Jasmine would know about why but she didn't look like she did yesterday. Anyways, it didn't matter anymore. I was captain

    Chapter 52A day earlierJasmineEverything at home had been going quite well. I confirmed when at dinner, and Russo was not around, Lisa had quietly eaten her meal, without making any attempt to taunt Mom. Hardin also, though he was not at dinner, was doing pretty okay and had barely slept outside the house in the past weeks. His absence at dinner was clearly because he had accompanied Dad for a meeting.I could also attest to the fact that Hardin was getting better, asides that he still had sex with me when he wanted, which I did not totally hate, as I felt some emotions of love towards him.Well, I guess it was the one thing that always kept me in check whenever I thought of reporting Hardin. Since as much as it was wrong for a step brother to have sexual attractions towards his sister, it was also wrong for me to be emotionally attached to him."Take care, Mom," I passed her a kiss, before finally leaving the house to join Hardin that was already waiting for me outside.Through ou

    Chapter 53Still a day earlierHardin's POVIf there was a motto that I lived by that I was sure was one of the reasons why I had made a name for myself in this school, it was the act first, talk later movement.I saw the way everyone else minded their business almost immediately I looked at them with raised eyebrows as I dragged the boy that I had just punched out of the cafeteria. I knew that once I left the cafeteria, there would be a lot of mumblings and speculations about why I had punched him and was now taking him out of the cafeteria to finish the job. And if I was someone who cared about what people said, then maybe it would have bothered me but I didn't.Something at the back of my mind reminded me that this was not an action that I should have carried out, especially because they were yet to even decide if I was to keep my title as captain of the team or give it to that fake prince charming, Lorenzo. And from the looks of it, after this scene, I was sure that he would repor

    Chapter 54Hardin's POV"You look like you could use some sleep." Alex said when I entered the boy's locker room to change for our evening practice and I merely grunted, too exhausted to answer. My father had traveled out of the pack for a meeting that was going to last for one week and had automatically made me interim head, whether or not I was willing to accept the role. I had almost been moved to ask him to make his Beta interim head instead but when he had spoken, I had known that this was a test. He wanted me to prove to him that I was capable of being a leader and a part of me wondered what would happen if I failed to keep things in order by the time he returned. "Being Alpha looks like it sucks, bro." Sandro quipped and even though I agreed, I didn't answer. I was born to lead. There was never any doubt that I would one day come into power. And with the way the elders and my father were insistent on me finding a mate, I knew that I had to step up my game. It was now or neve

    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.

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,
