MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS 226
JASMINEI was at the gate as usual when Ashley alighted from a taxi.They still hadn't settled!Her face was dull and she walked slowly towards the classrooms. I expected that she would come to me first. That brat!Why was the story today though? Then it crossed my mind that she was probably still hurt from losing out on the cheer performance. Whatever it was, I wanted to find out.“Ashley!” I called and waved.She looked at me, “Hi, Jasmine.”“I see you just got to school. Why do you look so sad though?” I moved closer to her, “is everything okay?”“I rejected my mates,” she said, slowly.“You what! Oh, poor Ashley. That's a whole lot!”I tried to calm myself. As much as I was happy and I wanted to scream, I had to remind myself to stay calm. I could not let Ashley find out that I was elated over her predicament.“It's crazy. I just wish they had done better. I wish they had not thrown me aside. I wished they had handled this better…”“Hey, Ashley, don't be too hard on yourself. You

JASMINEWas I dreaming?Why was Ashley with Carson and Brody? And why were they in the private lounge at that time? I looked around in confusion. Something was definitely wrong and I could not even say what it was.Didn't Ashley say she had rejected the triplets? Or was I hallucinating? Could it be that I had imagined everything, just because I wanted it to happen badly?No, I remember Ashley telling me that she had rejected her mates.She lied to me!Ashley, the stupid Omega wolf that I was superior to, had played a smart one on me. No! I could not let her have me smitten on the ground. I had to deal with her my way.I rushed to Ashley and raised my hand to hit her. She grabbed my hand mid-air and dropped it forcefully at my side.“Don’t you dare! If you try me one more time, Jasmine, I'm going to scratch your face so bad!”I stared at her in shock. She sure had grown a lot of wings, and this time, I could not even break them.“You still have the guts to raise your hand? How shameles

ASHLEYI stood facing the practice room. My mind was made up about how I wanted to embarrass Jasmine. She put me through shame among the members of the cheer club. I decided that I will as well ensure she goes through a public disgrace as well.It was even good that I did not find the coach in her office. Now I had every reason to call Jasmine out publicly. I knew the coach was seated in the practice room, watching the routines of everyone who had qualified. I was supposed to be one of those performing right in that room. But I lost it, all beck Jasmine stole my routine.I watched as everyone was cheering as the girls performed one after the other. I heard the coach's voice as she called out the names of cheer performers. It seemed like a good time to strike but I wished I could even embarrass Jasmine in a more crowded place.My wolf was restless and eager to punish Jasmine for all her evil. I recalled how she pointed at me when leaving the private lounge. She even threatened to make

JASMINEThe forest echoed with the sound of my sobs. I had lost everything. Usually, the forest was a place where I found solace. That was the reason I rushed in here, away from the noise in my home. Away from my mum's incessant questions about what was happening to me. But even here, the reality of my life consumed me.It was as if every branch held out a placard, telling me how miserable my life had become. I lost Axel, my position as president of the cheer club, and now, my reputation. I had been humiliated in front of the princes and Ashley! I had no reputation. I had also been embarrassed in front of the cheer club.I couldn't bear the thought of living with shame.I thought of Axel. After all the love I showed him, he was still able to abandon me because of something I did out of desperation. To think I had loved him so deeply. How could he have done this to me? How could he have broken my heart so cruelly? And now, I had to face the consequences of my actions. I had tried to sa

ASHLEYThe last person I expected in the palace was Jasmine.Wasn't she supposed to be nursing her misery?She barged into the living room, panting like a deer. I gave her a questioning look. I could tell that Carson and Brody were ready to strike in case she made any funny move.Her eyes were filled with anger and a rather wild determination. My eyes danced all over her. I didn't want to be thrown off guard, not before Jasmine.“Ashley, how foolish of you to think you have found the ones for you,” she began, her chest rising and falling.I knew where she was headed. It was about my mates. It was typical of Jasmine to want to come back for another fight. I would be shocked if she did not come up with something after we humiliated her so much.But we let her continue.And that was the worst decision ever.Axel planned to kill me?I had received death threats from Axel several times. Back then, before the mate bond, he made me feel like my life was worthless. It was as though my life wa

AXELMy heart pounded in my chest as rage threatened to overwhelm me.Rejection?Jasmine had no idea what she had done. Her recording had shattered the fragile trust I had built with Ashley. It had driven a wedge between us that I feared might not be fixed anytime soon.I should have known something was wrong. As soon as I drove into the palace, the tension in the atmosphere breezed over me. It had a kind of unsettling warmth that made me quirk my brow.The air was thick and rigid, the kind that could be felt in the very fibers of my being. But I couldn't tell what exactly was going on. I stepped out of my car and found the living room door ajar. This was quite unusual and that got me wondering what was happening.I was almost at the door when I picked up Jasmine's scent. I had been searching for what was amiss since I drove in. But as soon as I smelled her, o k ew something was wrong. I wondered why it took too long to figure out that it was Jasmine.The cunning bastard! What was she

AXELBy the time I got back to the palace, it was already dark. I met Ashley sitting outside with my brothers. As soon as I got closer to where they sat, she got up and went inside.My heart sank.The words of her rejection plagued my thoughts. There was no telling if she would take me back as her mate. I regretted ever trying to fix things with Jasmine.My wolf had been quiet since the rejection. He only got charged by Jasmine's confrontation. As soon as I left her, he went cold again. The effect of Ashley’s rejection was a huge turn-off for him. I wished she would listen to me.I know there was a time when I would kill Ashley without a second thought. But that was back when I still doubted the bond. That was when I felt trapped in the mate saga. I did not feel that way anymore.The fact that she saw nothing wrong in what she did was the most annoying part. Since she chose to keep playing devil, I was set to get my pound of flesh***********I left my class and headed straight to the

CARSONI saw the pan in Axel's eyes as he came downstairs after trying to get Ashley to talk to him. I knew she would pay him no attention. I had tried to talk her into listening to him.I knew that what Axel did was unacceptable. But amid everything, I was aware that Axel’s feelings towards Ashley had changed. Earlier on, he hated her and just wanted to kill her. But that was all in the past. Axel had changed. He was crazy about her now. He got jealous of matters concerning her. He got worried when things were not going well for her.He was never like that. He didn’t give a fuck about her. But now, it is different. I knew that everything Jasmine recorded was things Axel said when he did not want Ashley. I explained to her that things had changed now.But she did not listen.God! Ashley was a stubborn creature. She'd been avoiding Axel like the plague, and it was driving him crazy. He could not hide his frustration. Even I could feel it and I wished there was something I could do to f
