''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
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
Jasmine was engrossed in her work when her phone beeped, but she ignored it, assuming the message wasn't urgent. However, when a second text arrived, she quickly wrapped up her task and grabbed her phone.Her heart sank as she saw the message - a video of Stephan and the twins laughing and enjoying ice cream together, accompanied by a chilling text: "Come meet us." Jasmine's body went cold with fear. She sprang to her feet, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of her office in a panic.Jasmine burst through the company doors, her heart racing with every step. She rushed across the parking lot, her eyes scanning the area for any sign of danger. She quickly unlocked her car and slid into the driver's seat, her hands shaking as she started the engine.She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down as she pulled out of the parking lot. Her mind was racing with thoughts of the twins and Stephan, and what he might be planning. She glanced at the GPS, her eyes widening as she saw the locatio
Jasmine and Nicolai emerged from the courtroom, beaming with relief. Nicolai cradled Amaya in his arms, while Jasmine held Owen close. Kent rushed up to them, out of breath."Nick, Jasmine, I'm so sorry I missed it." Kent apologized, feeling a pang of guilt. He had gotten caught up in a romantic morning with Scott and lost track of time, nearly forgetting the importance of today's court hearing.Amaya and Owen squealed in unison, "Uncle Kent!" Stretching out their arms. Kent laughed, taking both children from their parents and enveloping them in a warm hug."How are my babies doing?" Kent asked, pulling back to examine their faces."I'm fine, but I'm tired." Amaya complained."Me too." Owen chimed in. "I'm hungry. And why did we have to come here? Some man kept saying he's our daddy, but our daddy is right here." Owen looked up at Nicolai.Jasmine exchanged a brief glance with Nicolai before forcing a smile. "That's right, baby."Stephan stormed out of the courtroom, his face twisted
