Draco POV:I don’t know why but I couldn’t bring myself to face Jasmine, I felt like I was ashamed which was very bizarre for me because I keep telling Jasmine that she is my women but in real she meant nothing to me…. she was just my pawn that I was using to take revenge on entire human race…. at least that’s what I thought until now….I was force keeping Jasmine with me just because I was in need of her power and ability to find and free my Dragon people… yet it pained me when I heard her question, I wasn’t looking at her face but her voice was sufficient to tell me she was pained by my action… and it somewhere sting my heart to hurt her because even I wasn’t sure what happened to me… how I lost my control with Savannah….This morning when I went out with Tony, we worked on mending our ship with help of few other soldiers…. we worked till late in evening and
