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
"Where could that bitch be!?" Stephan muttered to himself as he angrily paced around his room.Laura who was sitting on his bed couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words. "I wonder why he's so bothered about her." She scoffed."I can hear you, Laura." Stephan said with a warning growl.Laura heaved a deep breath. "The guards clearly said that they've searched everywhere for her, but she's nowhere to be found." Laura stated. "Couldn't that mean something? If they can't find her or her dead body, then maybe she's escaped to somewhere else. She could literally be in another pack by now, or maybe other wolves would have made a feast out of her body, after all she's nothing but a helpless omega who can't even fight to save her life.""I still see no reason why you should be stressing yourself about her, and if you badly want to find her that much, why don't you just go see the pack witch or something." She scoffed.Stephan wanted to yell at her and ask her to shut up, but when he heard
Laura paced outside Stephan's mansion, nervously waiting for him to come back since he's been gone for quite sometime. She couldn't stop praying that the pack's priestess shouldn't tell him anything about Jasmine's whereabouts, and even if she wants to tell him anything, let it be the news of her death."This is all my fault! It's all my fault!" She slapped her mouth.Soon, Stephan's car drove into the premises, and Laura was finally able to feel a bit relieved.When Stephan stepped out of his car, she immediately ran to him."Stephan, d...did you find out where she is?" She asked, but Stephan didn't even reply, he just kept walking into the mansion, while Laura followed him, trying to get some answers out of him."Why won't you say anything to me? Remember I was the one who brought the idea of going to see the pack's priestess, so I deserve to know what she told you." She said. They were already at Stephan's room by now, and he hasn't even said a single word to her, he just keeps on
Jasmine was done with her check-up, and Nicolai was currently giving her a tour around the pack."Is it really okay to do this for me? I'm sure you have other important things to do." She said, feeling bad that Nicolai had to trouble himself by giving her a tour when he should be using his time for something important."I'm not complaining, unless you're tired and want to go back home, then I'll take you back. I just want you to know the pack a bit." "Thank you, and I'm not tired, I'm just feeling bad that you have to go through this trouble for me." Jasmine replied."It really is nothing, I just...." Nicolai trailed when he noticed that her shoelace had loosen. Knowing how dangerous it'll be for her if she should trip and fall, he immediately asked her to stop."What's wrong?" "Your shoelace is untied." He was about kneeling to help her tie her shoelace when she stopped him."What are you doing?" Jasmine asked, surprising Nicolai."I want to help you tie your shoelace, I don't want
Kent was on his way to see Nicolai when he ran into Cruella. He wanted to ignore her, but she didn't let him."Wait, Kent." Cruella blocked his path.Kent sighed deeply. "What do you want this time, Cruella? I really don't have time for you. I'm in a hurry to see Nicolai." "I know, and I promise I won't take much of your time." Cruella smiled.Kent had a huge frown on his face, he wonder if he should just leave rather than listen to what she's trying to say."You know me well, Kent. You know I'm not going to let you leave until you talk to me." Cruella said, as if reading his mind.Kent mentally rolled his eyes at her words. Now this is another reason he doesn't like Cruella. She always wants to have her way with anything at all. "Fine." Kent said in surrender. "What do you want to talk about? And you better make it quick because I haven't got much time to spare."Cruella smirked. "I want to know about the lady staying with Nicolai. She's not just a person he wants to have some fun w
Jasmine was in her room reading a novel Nicolai got for her when a knock on her door interrupted her."Jasmine." She heard Nicolai's voice and instantly permitted him to come in.When Nicolai walked in, she dropped her novel and made to stand up from her bed, but he stopped her."You don't have to get up, it's fine." He said to her. "How are you and the baby? Do you need anything?" He asked, going to stand beside her bed."We're fine, and I don't need anything." Jasmine replied with a smile."What about food? Aren't you hungry?" He asked. Jasmine shook her head. "It hasn't been long I ate, so I'm not hungry." "Alright, just let me know if you need anything." "I will. Thank you.'' The reason he came to see her was to talk to her about going to see a psychiatrist, but he didn't even know how to tell her. He fears she might get upset, and refuse to go see one."Nicolai?" Jasmine called, jolting him out of his thoughts."Yes.""Are you okay? You look worried." She said, her concern ev
"What do you want?" Jasmine asked.Cruella smiled at her, then she slowly approached her bed, and when she got there, she roughly pushed Jasmine's leg away and took a seat on her bed.Jasmine wanted to say something, but she let it slide.Cruella's eyes went to the little bump on Jasmine's tummy. "How could I have missed this the first time? You're not only a rejected mate, but also pregnant." She closed her eyes and focused on listening to the heartbeat of the baby. When she reopened her eyes, she smiled mischievously. "I hear three heartbeats. One is yours, and the other two belongs to the babies in your tummy." She looked at Jasmine."What?" Jasmine asked. Confusion was written all over her face."Why do you look confused? Didn't you know you're having twins?" Cruella asked.Jasmine placed her hand on her tummy. She couldn't help but wonder why the ultrasound didn't pick this up. I'm having twins?" She said in shock. She thought she was only having a baby, but now she's found out t
Nicolai has just closed from work and was on his way home when Jasmine crossed his mind. He remembered that she hasn't got much clothes and thought to get her some, so he swiftly turned his car around, heading for the clothing shop. Even though this is a bit embarrassing to him, he wanted to do this for her.Nicolai soon arrived at the clothing shop, he parked his car outside and got out. He inhaled and exhaled deeply before walking to the shop."Nic!" He heard him name and sharply turned around to see Cruella.Cruella smiled when he looked at her, then she ran to him and linked her hand to his. "I didn't expect to see you here. What brings you here Nic?" She asked with a bright smile plastered on her lips.If Cruella hadn't been his childhood friend and someone he was comfortable with, Nicolai won't hesitate to push her away because he always feels irritated when other women come close to him. Although he doesn't feel that way with Jasmine, and as for Cruella, he's only tolerating he
"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
