Kent, Samantha, and Clara arrived, and Nikolai immediately stepped out of the car. Kent began to speak, but Nikolai cut him off."We got the name of who sent them, and—" Kent said, before Nikolai interrupted him."Arianna Holland." Nikolai finished, his eyes blazing with fury.Kent's brow furrowed in confusion. "That's right, how did you know?" He asked.Nikolai's jaw clenched. "Jasmine told me. Arianna had her kidnapped to blackmail me into signing a contract with her father and marrying her."Kent's expression turned incredulous. "That's one crazy woman!" He exclaimed. "How could she go that far just to be with you?"Nikolai's voice dropped to a menacing tone. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that they're going to pay for what they've done."Kent's eyes widened in concern. "Nick, maybe we should—"Nikolai cut him off, his voice firm. "Don't say anything, Kent. They've crossed the line, and I'm not going to let that slide."Kent sighed, knowing that Nikolai was beyond reason. "The
Jasmine was pacing back and forth in her room, trying to calm down. She was still fuming from her argument with Nicolai, and she couldn't believe she had spoken to him like that.But as she thought back on their conversation, Jasmine realized that she had been right to stand up to Nicolai. He needed for take responsibility for his actions, and he needed to learn to control his temper.Jasmine took a deep breath, feeling a sense of determination wash over her. She was going to make sure that Nicolai didn't get away with his behaviour. He had ignored her and it's still hurting her.With a newfound sense of confidence, Jasmine walked over to her bed and sat down, and she tried hard not to think about how she had spoken to Nicolai.A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. Jasmine immediately stood up, her heart pounding in her chest. She thought it was Nicolai, and she wasn't even ready to face him."What do I do? What do I do?" She panicked.The knock came again, followed by a famil
"You're kidding, right? You didn't really kiss the Alpha." Clara asked, a hint of excitement in her voice. "I honestly can't believe I'm hearing this right now." She giggled."I'm not kidding. I did, and since I've told you guys what really happened, can we stop talking about it now, I really don't want to remember it." Jasmine ran her hand through her hair.The moment Jasmine said those words, Samantha and Clara's excitement instantly wore off.Samantha furrowed her brow in confusion "Why not?" "Because it was stupid of me." Jasmine complained. "It was a mistake, I never should have done that and I completely regret my actions. I just want to forget it ever happened.""Are you sure? Or you're just mad the Alpha ignored you because of it." Clara asked.Jasmine fell silent for a while, as she thought about Clara's question. "No, it's not." She finally replied. "Yes I'm still upset that he ignored me after that happened, but it's not the reason I regret it. I just... regret it." She sa
Nicolai stood outside Jasmine's door, contemplating whether to invite her to dinner himself or let someone else do it. But after spending so much time preparing the perfect meal, he decided it was only right that he ask her himself.He took a deep breath, steadying his nerves, before knocking on her door."Just a minute." Jasmine called out from inside.After a brief pause, the door opened, and Jasmine's eyes met Nicolai's. She felt a surge of nervousness, and memories of their previous encounter came flooding back. She fought the urge to slam the door shut, not wanting to escalate the tension between them."Hey, how are you?" Nicolai asked, his voice calm and soothing.Jasmine's eyes darted away, and she licked her lips nervously. "I...I'm fine.'' She stuttered, wincing at the tremble in her voice.Nicolai's gaze remained gentle. "I made dinner. Would you like to come down and eat, or should I bring it up to your room?"Jasmine's instincts screamed at her to refuse, but Nicolai's wor
The door to Nicolai's office burst open, and a furious Mr. Holland stormed in, followed by Nicolai's frantic secretary. "I told you, Sir, you can't just barge in!" She protested, trying to escort him out.Mr. Holland violently shoved her aside. "Don't touch me, or you'll regret it." He snarled, his eyes blazing with anger.Nicolai rose from his seat, calm and composed. "It's fine, let him stay. You can leave, thank you."The secretary apologized profusely, worried, before departing.Mr. Holland's face twisted in rage. "You're a monster! How dare you have my daughter arrested?"Nicolai approached him, unfazed. "Despite knowing your daughter's actions and the reason for her arrest, you still have the nerve to come here and yell at me. You're quite bold, Mr. Holland.""So what? It's not like she hurt the lady, and none of that would have happened if you had agreed to help me out in the first place!" Mr. Holland retorted.Nicolai's gaze narrowed. "Have you no shame at all? Do you even thi
Jasmine and Nicolai lay side by side on her bed, their faces inches apart. They gazed into each other's eyes, the love and adoration between them palpable.Jasmine's voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke, her words filled with wonder. "I keep thinking I'm going to wake up, and this will all be just a dream."Nicolai's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, his fingers brushing against Jasmine's cheek. "This is real, Jasmine.'' He whispered back. "We're real."Jasmine's eyes sparkled with tears as she looked at Nicolai. "I know." She whispered. "It's just...I never thought I'd find someone like you. Someone who loves me for who I am."Nicolai's expression softened, his eyes filled with emotion. "You deserve all the love in the world." He whispered. "And I'm honored to be the one to give it to you."As they spoke, their faces drew closer, their lips almost touching. The air between them was charged with tension, their love for each other hanging like a promise.Without anoth
SHADOW MOON PACK...Stephan's eyes locked onto Drake, his beta. "Any news?"Drake shook his head. "Nothing, Alpha. We've been searching for months, but there's no sign of her. Maybe it's time to consider that she doesn't want to be found." He said calmly.Stephan's eyes flashed with anger, and he hurled his whiskey glass at Drake, missing his face by inches. "Don't dare tell me to give up!" He thundered. "You don't understand what she truly is."''The search continues until we find her, and I don't care if it'll take years. I will find her and have her to myself once again." He stated firmly."Keep searching, and you're not allowed to stop." He ordered.Drake sighed deeply. "Yes, Alpha." He bowed in respect before leaving.Soon after Drake left, Laura walked into Stephan's office, not bothering to knock. When she saw the look on Stephan's face, she instantly guessed that his search party must have failed to locate Jasmine again."No progress?" She questioned with a small smirk on her
"Cruella Reed." Laura repeated. "What's your business with Jasmine?'' "If you stick around, you'll find out soon. I'm pretty sure you and I can be of great help to each other." Cruella replied, her smirk still in place.Laura was about saying something when a guard interrupted them. "The Alpha is ready to see you now." He informed Cruella. "Please come with me.""Sure.'' Cruella smiled. Just as she was about to follow the guard, Laura instantly held her hand."Do you know where Jasmine is?" She asked.Cruella looked at her for a while before she finally replied. "Yes.""And that's what you're here for? To reveal her location to Stephan?" "Yes."Laura shook her head. "You can't. I can't let you do that." She stated, a hint of urgency in her voice.Cruella scoffed, then she shrugged Laura's hand off. "Isn't that too late now." She replied with a smile before leaving with the guard.Laura wanted to stop Cruella from revealing the truth about Jasmine's whereabouts to Stephan, but Cruell
Stephan gently put Jasmine down, his hands holding her waist to keep her steady. Jasmine tried pushing him away, but she was too weak, at this point, she couldn't even understand her body or what was wrong with her. All she could think of was sex, she needs to stop the burning sensation in her vagina.Stephan leaned forward to kiss her, but she turned her face away and struggled to push him away from her. "P.... please, Stephan. Please don't do this, just...'' Her voice trailed off as the urge for sex grew even stronger."Just let me help you feel better, Jasmine." Stephan said, his voice low and husky. "I've missed you so much, I've missed the feeling of being inside you, and I know you want this too."Jasmine shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.Stephan's hands went to her breasts, and he gave them a little squeeze, causing her to unknowingly moan in pleasure."You want this too, Jasmine." He stated, his voice low. He gently raised her chin, and Jasmine had her eyes clo
"So what are you saying, Nick? You're still going to let her stay there even though Jasmine isn't okay with that?" Kent asked, he was now in Nicolai's office."I already talked to Jasmine about this, and she..." Nicolai sighed. "She seems to understands. I can't leave Cruella now when she needs help the most, her house is gone, it'll take a few months to rebuild and then she'll leave.""A few months is still too much to keep her there, why not just find somewhere else for her to stay? Her being there will only cause more problems and misunderstandings.''"We'll be fine, Kent, I'm sure Cruella isn't trying to cause any problem between I and Jasmine."Kent scoffed. "You know nothing, Nick. Just be careful, and you better take my advice and chase her away before something else happens and it'll be too late for you to do anything." Kent stated, his voice firm.Nicolai looked at him for a while. "It'll be fine, I know what I'm doing. Now, let's talk business." He said, opening the file in
Cruella sat on her bed, her legs and arms crossed, a sly smirk spreading across her lips. "You may leave now." She told Samantha, her voice dripping with malice. "I'll deal with these two myself."Samantha hesitated, her eyes darting to the twins, who stood frozen, their eyes wide with fear. Cruella's gaze never left them as she rose from the bed and began to circle around them."I...I only brought them here to apologize," Samantha stammered, stepping forward to intercept Cruella. "The twins told me what they did, and I'll admit they were wrong, but they're just kids, so—""So what?!" Cruella's voice cut through Samantha's words like a knife. "And who do you think you are to dare stop me? You're nothing but a lowly maid! Don't forget your place."Samantha's eyes flashed with anger, but she kept her voice steady. "I know my place, but I won't let you harm the twins. They came to apologize, that's all."Cruella sneered, her eyes blazing with contempt. "I'd love to see you try to stop me
Cruella lay by the pool, soaking up the sun, oblivious to Owen and Amaya hiding behind a massive flower vase."Are you sure she won't see us?" Amaya whispered, concern etched in her voice."She won't.'' Owen replied, his voice barely audible. "She looks asleep.""What about our scent?" Amaya asked. "Won't she sniff us out?"Owen shot her a stern glance. "That's why we applied mud. It'll mask our scent. Remember what Dad told us?"Amaya nodded, feeling more confident. "Alright, let's do it."Owen peeked at Cruella, his gaze landing on the orange juice beside her. A mischievous grin spread across his face."Wait here." He whispered to Amaya. "I'll add something to her drink."He held up a bottle of chilli pepper they'd snatched from the kitchen."Be careful." Amaya warned. "Don't let her see you."Owen crept towards Cruella, freezing as she suddenly picked up the juice. He held his breath, afraid to move.Finally, Cruella placed the juice back down and closed her eyes, basking in the se
Jasmine was on her way to work when she was suddenly pulled into the room by Cruella. "Hey!" She yelled, forcefully pulling her hand from Cruella's hold. "What do you think you're doing, Cruella?" She questioned, glaring dangerously at her.Cruella smirked. "I know you've been dying to speak to me so here we are, just me and you." Cruella replied, taking a step closer to her.Jasmine sighed. "Good, at least now I can ask what the fuck are you up to?" Jasmine questioned with gritted teeth.Cruella laughed. "What do you think I'm up to? I'm just here because my house got burnt." She shrugged.Jasmine scoffed. "Like I would be stupid enough to believe that." She hissed. "Tell me the truth, Cruella. You've got a motive for being here. You're definitely up to something." She stated firmly.Cruella stared at her for a while before bursting into laughter. "Fine, you've got me." She raised her hand surrender."You're right Jasmine. I am here with a motive." Cruella said, a serious expression
Jasmine has just woken up and was surprised to see that Nicolai wasn't in bed with her. "Nick?" She called, slowly sitting up. Her eyes scanned the room but she couldn't find him, she sighed before getting out of bed, then she went to grab her robe and put it on, she also checked the bathroom just incase he was there, but he wasn't, and for some reason, she was moved to go check Cruella's room just incase he was there.As Jasmine made her way to Cruella's room, a part of her was sincerely hoping that Nicolai wasn't there. She soon arrived at Cruella's door and just when she wanted to knock, she hesitated. "Oh goddess." She heaved a deep breath, braced herself up before knocking the door, but she got no response."Cruella? Are you in there?" Jasmine questioned, but still she got no response. "Screw this." She muttered as she tried opening the door, and luckily, it wasn't locked. When Jasmine stepped into the room, she couldn't find Cruella or Nicolai. She doesn't really care about Cru
"Nick, I'm...." Jasmine trailed when she couldn't find him anywhere in the room. "Nick?" She called, her brows furrowing. "Where could he have gone?" She sighed, then she went to pick up the towel Nicolai had dropped on the bed and returned it to the bathroom.When she returned to the room, she picked up Nicolai's phone from the bed and kept it on the bedside table, then she got in bed, but she couldn't sleep as she was waiting for Nicolai.After waiting for a while, Jasmine got out of bed, wore her slippers and went out of the room to go search for Nicolai. When she got downstairs, she began calling out to him but go no response, not until the guard outside heard her voice and went to meet her inside."Luna." The guard called, and Jasmine swiftly turned around. Although she hasn't been crowned the pack's official Luna, but everyone knows that she's Nicolai's woman and they can see how much he loves her, so they simply address her as Luna."Yes." Jasmine calmly replied."I heard you c
"Good night honey.'' Jasmine said as she lovingly kissed Amaya's forehead, she walked over to Owens bed and placed a kiss on his forehead as well. "Get some rest." She stood up and was about leaving when Amaya called her."Mummy." Jasmine swiftly turned to look at her. "Yes dear, do you need anything?" She questioned, going to sit beside her bed once more.Amaya shook her head, she then looked at Owen, contemplating on if she should tell her mother what Uncle Stephan had told them."What's wrong, dear?" Jasmine asked, concern etched on her face. "Do you want to talk to me about anything? Mummy's all ears." She gently urged her to speak.Amaya nervously bit her bottom lip. "I don't know, mummy. It's about what Uncle Stephan told us." Jasmine's curiosity piqued, she then placed her hand on Amaya's hand. "It's okay, dear. You can talk to me. What did he tell you?" She calmly asked."Promise you won't get mad?" She questioned worriedly."I'll never get mad at you baby, you know it." Jas
Cruella was about leaving her home when she noticed a car driving towards her, so she waited to see who it was."You two wait in the car, mummy will be right back." Jasmine said to the twins before stepping out of the car.When Cruella saw her, she simply rolled her eyes, already guessing why Jasmine was there."Cruella." Jasmine called as she approached her. She pulled her aside, away from the twin's view, then she slapped her hard across the face. "That's for daring to toy with the lives of my kids!" Jasmine fumed, her blood boiling with rage.Cruella scoffed in disbelief, her hand placed on her cheek. "Have you gone crazy, Jasmine?" She questioned in annoyance. "You're really asking for it, aren't you?" She took a step closer to her."You should be lucky I only slapped you once." Jasmine retorted. "I never joke with my kids, Cruella. You have no right to pick them up from school and give them to someone else like it's nothing!""Someone else?" Cruella laughed. "I only did them a fa
