''No…." Jasmine screamed as she woke up with a start, her clothes were soaked with her sweat, her breathing was uneven, and she had tears rolling down her cheeks.Every night isn't different from this particular night, and the dreams are not different from the same dream that woke her up; her losing her babies.She clutched her heart as she recalled just how many times she's had a miscarriage because of the monster she was with; her mate.Her life has never been easy. She's an orphan as she had lost her parents to the cruel hands of death at an early age, and she has no relatives…she has no one in this world except for herself.When she had met her mate Stephen who was also the alpha of their pack, she had thought that her life would change for the better; that she would finally have someone to lean on, someone to rely on, and someone who's going to be there for her, but how wrong she was to have thought her life would suddenly become better because she found her mate. Rather than her
It's been a few weeks since Stephan's rejection, and these past few weeks have been way worse than anything she's ever experienced. Everything Stephan ordered to be carried out on her has been done in ten folds, despite them having workers in the pack, she was being made to do almost everything, leaving her super exhausted by the end of the day. Stephan also hasn't stopped to sexually and physically abuse her, even though he's rejected her.For weeks, all Jasmine could do was cry as she didn't have anyone who would stand up for her, nor anyone who would rescue her from this torment and torture she's been made to go through every single day.She was currently sitting outside the pack house washing the pack member's clothes when she suddenly felt nauseous. Jasmine immediately stood up and went to throw up, literally vomiting the little breakfast she had earlier. After throwing up, she stood up and wanted to return to her chores, but then she felt nauseous again and threw up for the seco
Jasmine has no idea on how she was ever going to make her escape from the blood moon pack, even though she was determined to leave, she didn't know how that was going to be possible, not until the perfect moment came knocking on her door; a party Stephan was hosting in a few days time.Her joy knew no bounds when she heard the news about the party, a massive party where other alpha's from neighboring packs will be in attendance, even most of the strongest alpha's. It appears that the moon goddess was on her side this time, and her golden plan was to escape when the party was at its peak because she was so sure her presence wouldn't be noticed then.Jasmine began counting the days until the night of the party; a night that would mark a new beginning for her and the child in her womb. For the next few days, she did her best to not overwork herself, and she began eating well, even though all that's always left for her were leftovers. She didn't let that discourage her and ate those lefto
Just when she thought her life was finally getting better, that was when fate decided to trick her once more.Jasmine recalled her promise to protect her baby. She gathered all the strength she had left in her and while the man was frantically undressing himself, Jasmine slapped him hard, she then pushed him off her and dragged herself up.She wanted to run away but got caught by the other two men. Jasmine tried fighting them off, she screamed at the top of her lungs; asking them to let her go, but instead she got slapped by one of them.The other man whom she had hit hurriedly stood up, he roughly grabbed her hand and turned her to him, then he also slapped her.“How dare you, bitch!” He thundered.Jasmine was crying bitterly. She hated herself for being so weak. If only she had a wolf, then she would have been able to defend herself from these rogues.“I was thinking of going easy on you, but since you want to do this the hard way, I'm going to make sure you regret your actions.” T
As they entered the Crescent moon pack's territory, Jasmine's eyes widened in awe. The pack's sprawling grounds were a masterful blend of wild beauty and organized structure. The air was alive with the sweet scent of blooming wildflowers and the soft rustle of leaves.The overall effect was breathtaking, a harmonious fusion of wilderness and wonder.When the car finally stopped, Nicolai got out first before going to help Jasmine out.“We should get you checked up first.” He said to her,“What?” Jasmine furrowed her brow, confused.“I mean, I'm going to take you to the pack doctor to examine you and get you treated if you have any injuries.'' He explained.Jasmine nods in understanding, she has no problem with this, at least she'll be able to know how her baby is doing. She placed her hand on her tummy as she followed Nicolai to the pack hospital.***Jasmine didn't expect the pack hospital to be as huge as it was, the one in her pack wasn't even up to this. Everything about the Cresce
Stephan was in his room making out with his mistress Laura when a knock on his door interrupted them."Alpha!" A voice called from outside."Damn it!" Stephan spat in annoyance. "What could be the problem now?" He pulled away from Laura's embrace and wanted to go answer the door, but was immediately stopped by Laura."Why don't you just leave it. You can always tend to those business later." She said, seductively trailing her finger tips down his chest.Stephan smirked, then he kissed her. "I'll be back." He got down from the bed and went to answer the door.Laura scoffed. "Mood killer!" She whispered."This better be important." Stephan warned the guard the moment he opened the door."I sincerely apologize for the disturbance, Alpha. I came to inform you that Jasmine is nowhere to be found. We've scanned the whole area, but there's no sight of her anywhere.""What? What do you mean she's nowhere to be found!? Where could she have gone to?""We have no idea, Alpha. But we suspect that
"Wow! It's really way more complicated than I thought." Kent said, he was now sitting beside Nicolai on his bed. "So you're saying she's not only a rejected mate, but also an expecting mother! What kind of idiot will do that to his own mate?" He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "I feel so sorry for her, she doesn't deserve all that, and I'm glad you helped her." He looked at Nicolai.After narrating the whole story to Kent, Nicolai suddenly fell silent."I want to ask you a question, Nicolai." Nicolai sighed deeply. "What's it?""I know you helped her, and we can't also deny the fact that she's your second chance mate, but do you have any intention of ever accepting her as you mate, and I'm pretty sure you know the reason I'm asking you this question. What will you do about her?" Nicolai didn't have to think too much about his reply. "No. I may not be able to accept her as my mate, but I'm going to help her and make sure she's alright." He replied. "You know, Kent. I co
After making sure that Jasmine's food has been served, Nicolai excused himself from the dining room, saying he's got an urgent matter that he needs to take care of, but he promised her that he'll be back in time to take her to the hospital.Jasmine didn't want him to leave her all alone, but she doesn't even know how to say the words, so all she could do was to helplessly watch him leave.Thankfully, there weren't anyone else in the dinning room except for her, and that alone was enough to make her feel a little bit relaxed. The aroma of the food filled the air, causing her stomach to grumble. Since she was already salivating due to the sumptuous meals in front of her, Jasmine hurriedly picked her cutlery and digged into the food.While she was busy devouring the dishes in front of her, an unknown voice interrupted her."So you're the one I've been hearing about."Jasmine sharply turned to see an unknown lady standing at the door way. She exuded elegance, her refined features and impe
"Won't you girls go rest in your room? It's late already, and you both need to get a good rest, I promise I'll be fine on my own." Jasmine said to Samantha and Clara. They've been with her all day, not letting her out of their sights, and she kinda feel bad about it."Not a chance, the Alpha specifically told us not to let you out of our sight. What if you sleep walk again? What will happen then? So we're not leaving you at all." Clara replied.Jasmine couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Fine, I get it, but if you two are going to stay here, then please come join me in bed, it's better than sleeping on the couch, it's not comfortable at all." "Don't worry about us, Jasmine. We're good here, we're used to this so it's nothing." Samantha said.Jasmine was about saying something when a knock on her door interrupted them."I'm pretty sure that's the Alpha." Clara hurriedly stood up and went to answer the door. "Alpha." She greeted when she saw him."How's she?""She's fine, Alpha.""I'll t
"So, how did it go?" Kent asked when Nicolai joined him outside."She said she was sleepwalking, that's how she ended up there.""That's bad, I didn't know she has that disorder.""And that wouldn't have happened if those guards were doing their job. They need to be punished, Kent. I'm leaving that up to you, maybe that way they'll learn a good lesson and never leave their post again." Nicolai seethed."I'll see to it, and I think you also need to tighten the security incase something like this happens again." Kent suggested."I'll do that, but I'll also be staying with her for a while, just to make sure she never sleepwalks and leave the mansion again." Kent couldn't believe his ears. "Hold on a second. What do you mean stay with her? Do you mean stay with her in her room and watch over her?" He asked in disbelief.Nicolai looked at him, wondering what's wrong about that. "Is there anything wrong with that?" He frowned.After staring at him for a while, Kent heaved a deep breath. "Y
Nicolai had just finished getting ready for the day when an urgent knock sounded on his door. He opened it to find two maids, Samantha and Clara, looking worried and panicked."What's wrong?" "Alpha," they bowed in respect. "It's Jasmine. We can't find her in her room."Nicolai's expression turned serious. "What?" He rushed to Jasmine's room, confirming she was indeed missing."Where is she? Where could she have gone?" Nicolai asked, his concern growing.Samantha stuttered, "W...we have no idea, Alpha. We came to help her get ready for the day, but she wasn't in her room. We've looked everywhere, but we still can't find her."Nicolai's face set in determination. "Keep searching for her. I'll have the guards search the pack."With that, Nicolai took off, leaving the maids to continue their search. Nicolai was outside, coordinating the search for Jasmine with the guards, when Kent's car pulled in."Hey," Kent said, stepping out of the car. "You don't have to bother searching. I have h
Cruella was in her room taking a nap when the sound of someone calling her name, and continuously ringing the door bell woke her up."What the hell!" Cruella angrily spat as she sat up on her bed, her face red with anger. "This better be good." She got out of bed, wore her slippers before going downstairs.When Cruella got to the door, she angrily opened it. "Who the..." She trailed when she saw who it was."Cassandra." Cruella called in surprise. "What's wrong?" She asked.Cassandra had this look of panic and worry on her face, and it made Cruella worry even more."May I come in." Cassandra didn't even wait for Cruella's permission before going in."Sure." Cruella rolled her eyes as she shut the door. "You look like you've been chased by a ghost. What's wrong with you?" She asked as she joined Cassandra in the living room."Everything, Cruella. Everything is wrong!" Cassandra panicked."What do you mean by everything is wrong? Can you please speak in a language that I'll understand."
"How are you feeling?" Nicolai asked, his voice soft, as they reached Jasmine's room.Jasmine remained silent, her eyes cast downward. The car ride home had been a blur of tears and painful memories. Nicolai's attempts to comfort her had been met with silence, her emotions too raw to articulate."Please, Jasmine, don't let tonight's events consume you," Nicolai urged, his tone gentle. "I promise to find the truth and bring the perpetrator to justice. You won't face this alone."Jasmine nodded, her gaze still evading his. The accusation of theft had shattered her fragile confidence, reviving the haunting memories of Stephan's abuse.As soon as Nicolai left, Jasmine retreated to her room, seeking solace in the one place she felt safe – her wardrobe. She had often hidden there during Stephan's rampages, finding an odd sense of security within its confines.Now, surrounded by darkness and familiarity, Jasmine curled up, her body trembling. The party's hateful glares and murmurs replayed i
When everyone saw Nicolai and Cruella walking down the stairs, they all heaved a sigh of relief because they all thought that something bad happened to her due to how she screamed before.Nicolai signaled to a guard nearby, and he rushed to him. He whispered something in the guards ear, and he nodded in understanding before leaving immediately."I'll go speak to Jasmine, and see if she saw anyone come into the room." He said to Cruella."Thank you, Nick. And I'm sorry for the trouble." "It's okay." Nicolai pats her hand before leaving."Is everything okay?" Jasmine asked when he got to her."No, the necklace I gave to Cruella as a birthday present is missing." He replied."What? How come?" "I don't know. Did you see or hear anyone come into her room while you were in there?" He asked.Jasmine shook her head. "I didn't see or hear anything, so I'm pretty sure no one came in.... It was just me, and I swear I didn't take it." She immediately defended."It's okay, Jasmine. No one's blam
"We're here." Cruella said when they finally arrived at her room. "There's the bathroom." She points at a door in the corner of her room."Thank you for letting me use your bathroom." "It's nothing, you can join us downstairs when you're done, I'll just put these away." She went to keep the gift Nicolai and Jasmine gave her on her dressing table, then she left.Jasmine looked at where she kept the gift and wondered why she would keep something that precious in a place like that, she could have kept it away in somewhere better because no one can tell what would happen, but then she shrugged and decides to mind her business. She hurriedly went to Cruella's bathroom as she couldn't hold her pee any longer, and she really didn't want to wet herself.When Jasmine was done, she quietly left Cruella's room, making sure to lock the door after she came out. On her way downstairs, she accidentally bumped into a lady, causing her purse to fall down."Oh goodness!" Jasmine panicked. "I...I'm so
Two days later...."Wow! The dress is absolutely gorgeous, but it doesn't really hide your baby bump." Samantha said with a playful giggle"I'm not even trying to hide it." Jasmine replied with a smile before going to stand in front of the mirror to admire herself more. Nicolai had chosen a stunning blue maternity dress that hugged her curves perfectly. The simple yet elegant design made Jasmine glow. Her long dark hair fell down her back, framing her bright smile."I believe the Alpha won't be able to take his eyes off you once he sees you." Clara added, and her statement caused Jasmine to blush slightly."Come on, Clara. We're not like that.""Well I didn't say anything." Clara teased. Jasmine shot her a playful glare before shaking her head.As Jasmine stared at her reflection in the mirror once more, she couldn't believe that she was actually the one. Samantha and Clara did a lovely job in dressing her up that she almost couldn't believe that she was the same person. Although she
After seeing how Nicolai loved the food she made last night, Jasmine decides to cook again the next morning."Oh oh, you did it again." Nicolai said as he arrived at the dining table."Well, I hope you don't mind." "Of course not, I just hope it's not too tiring for you. Even though we do have a cook, you still insist on doing this." "I just wanted to do this one more time." Jasmine smiled."Thank you." Nicolai replied before taking a sit, then Jasmine followed suit.Just as they were about to start eating, Cruella suddenly walked in."Hey, Nick." She said as she catwalked in.The moment Jasmine saw her, the smile on her face instantly vanished, only to be replaced by a look of worry and fear, her happy mood was now ruined."Cruella." Nicolai called, surprised to see her there this early. "What brings you here this early?" He asked."I had something urgent to speak to you about, so..." She took a sit beside him. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything.""We were about to have breakfas
