Asher's POV"News flash, she isn't your woman, she is my mate!" He spewed. "And one more word, I will have your tongue grilled for dinner!"By all means, I wanted to ignore him, with all sincerity, but I remembered Jasmine's statement about Sebastian, and how he doesn't bluff, which begged my curiosity, was he actually not bluffing?!"It would be stupid of me to entertain your delusions." I spat at him. "You won't bring me to stoop so low." "How convenient for you to rant when your love is purely an illusion." He scoffed. "Jasmine is mine!" I groaned, with a clenched fist, trying so hard to not launch an attack. If I ever did, I bet it might not be the same as the last time, which was me walking scot free. This was his freaking land and he was their dumb alpha and even though I hated to admit to it, he had the influence and power to ruin me here in a split second. "It's okay to live in denial, friend." He patted my shoulder. I shrugged off, and in anger grabbed his hand in mine s
Asher's POV "What the heck are you doing here?!" I poured my frustration on the maid. "Sorry, sir," She bowed her head slightly. "I asked a damn question, and this isn't the response." I groaned again. "I wanted to know if you're ready to get served, I didn't mean to startle you." She apologized again. Like her silly apology would change a thing. I couldn't help but wonder how they cope with Sebastian as their alpha. It must be tiring. "Go get me, Jasmine," I instructed her. "She's in the woods," I said precisely because Sebastian had left a tip. "Alright, sir." She nodded. "What about the food?""Get rid of it... Better still eat it." I sighed. Not saying a word, she walked out of sight and away to carry out my orders. To be honest, I was praying she didn't hear me, and even if she did, she would be unable to make sense of it. Else, I was doomed. I could never bear to see my kids ripped away from me and Jasmine. It would hurt Jasmine and she may never forgive me, that's if s
Jasmine's POV "And where in the hell are you going?" Alpha Sebastian's voice called from behind, stopping me abruptly. "Open the damn gate." Asher wasn't having it slow either. He held my arm and yanked me to himself, not so rough. "Jasmine?" Alpha Sebastian directed his words at me this time, seeing Asher was of no good. "We're leaving your silly pack!" Asher spat on my behalf. "Could you let the lady speak?" Alpha Sebastian groaned, sounding a bit irritated. "He has said it all." I tried to sound as fierce, so it wouldn't seem like Asher was in this alone. "And you didn't deem it wise to tell mum or your dying father?" "You can't blackmail her...""Yo, shut the fuck up!" Alpha Sebastian warned Asher. "I sent them a message...""Via a freaking maid?" Alpha Sebastian scoffed. "I thought you were different, you didn't even have the balls to tell them in their face...""And she never had balls."Alpha Sebastian heaved a loud sigh. "Mess with me one more time...""Does it look l
Asher's POV "I will be sure to ruin you!" I groaned as I yielded to their orders. One of the men escorted Jasmine to another car and I with the other two men got into the one that almost rammed into us. The good thing was that my eyes were not tied, so I could tell that the car that Jasmine was in didn't follow our direction. Matter of fact, it went the opposite way, and that was towards the direction we were coming from and it could only mean one thing, Sebastian had sponsored this whole kidnap bullshit, else, why will they be going back to the Ice pack? "Sebastian..." I snarled. The man sitting next to me and holding a gun smacked my head very hard with the grip of the gun. "Argh!" I groaned in pain, aching to rip out his gut. "Shut your freaking mouth up." He warned me seriously. "I do not want to hear a nasty word from it.""Fuck you!" I spat at him. "Mess with me one more time and expect to see your brains scattered all over the place, moron!”His coarse palm across my fa
Asher's POV Beep. Beep. Beep. My eyelids flashed open as I took in all that was before me; the bright room, smell of spirit, ECG machine... It was obvious that I was in a hospital. Where was I? I get it that I was in a hospital, but I meant the pack. When we had the car crash, we were already at the border of the Ice pack and I doubt the next pack was ours. I wasn't so acquainted with boundaries and I never bothered myself with it always. "Someone finally wakes." A male voice called when the door opened. I struggled to sit up a bit, so I would be able to put a face to the voice... Oh! Beta Crane?! How in Sky's name was he here? "Beta Crane," I mumbled, too tired to speak for long. "How are you doing, Alpha?" He teased as he came closer. "Oh, please," I gave a soft sigh. "I am not your alpha." I wasn't having it. I was the second and last son of Alpha Xavier. Damien, my brother, wasn't keen on leadership, and my father having a soft spot for me, was ready to pass me his mantl
Asher's POV "Father?" I looked at him with disbelief. I was still unstable from the concussion, and I was trying my best to not get knocked out before I did all I should. "What?" My father asked, not seeing anything wrong in what he said. How could he stake a price to save my family? I mean, that was beyond ridiculous. "We have Damien on board and so far, I learned he is doing a good job..."They took to laughter, Damien included, except Beta Crane. What was funny? I touched my face to be certain I didn't mutate overnight. "Whoever told you lied." Damien cast himself, unashamed, and he looked at Beta Crane, aware he was the informant. You couldn't fault Beta Crane, he was just looking out for the acting alpha. I would do the same if I were in his shoes, somethings are better left unsaid and to the findings of the curious. "But..." "I suck, really," He patted my shoulder. "You should come to save our pack." He finished. "Which is technically the only way I get to save my woma
Sebastian's POV No... No!!! This wasn’t happening! Held at gunpoint, I watched my father drop to the ground, unconscious... maybe dead. One freaking movement and I would have a bullet piercing through my head and messing the whole place up with my blood. Still, I had to do something, anything. My mother was shaking like a jellyfish, and she couldn't bear to look at me, her horrible and mischievous son. "Do not test my patient." The young guy that came with Asher warned me. There was no time to register if he was Asher's brother or friend. Now wasn't the right time for it. As ordered, I remained on the exact spot I stood when my father dropped down. "Can I take him...""Shut the fuck up!" He slammed the handle of his barrel to my head and I fell on my knees. "Stand the fuck up!" He groaned. Smelling trouble, I did. My mother was already weeping, too devastated to say a word in my defense, or maybe too irritated by me. "Take him with us," Asher instructed a young security that
Jasmine's POV "Mum!" The loudly combined scream of three merry Musketeers had me closing my ears, thanks to reflex. This was supposed to be a joyful melody to every mother, but in my case, my eardrums were about to blow up, because I had the most active kids, you couldn't fault me. "My babies!" I reciprocated their energy by screaming at the top of my lungs... Right, I would remember to drink a whole river after this. Bending down to their level, I wrapped them up in a warm embrace, pulling them to myself so tightly, skin to skin. Jeez! I missed them so much and it was funny how three days felt like a million years."Mum?" Emily called out. "Yeah, baby?" I gave her my rapt attention after a while. "You look different..." She bent her head slightly, so she could take all of me in. "Like you aged a bit... I don't know." She stated her observation and went mute. Yeah, right. I forgot I had a smart mouth in my lots. She wasn't totally out of point, even though she was a bit too bru
Jasmine's POV "Welcome, Alpha Finley!" My mother excitedly welcomed the guests and even though there were ushers all over the place, she still made it her duty to welcome people, especially her special guests; allies of our packs, noble alphas, and a few old buddies. Today was the final day Asher would be coronated as Alpha of his pack and the merging of our packs together. My parents made a long list of guests they would invite. I, Liam, and Rylee on the other hand just received soft treatment, ate, and enjoyed the weekend. Their presence in the pack and hospital had relieved me of stress. Liam made sure a few agents I sent partnership deeds to collaborate with me. He also helped in the hospital and took on the role of training intern doctors. Rylee wasn't left out, she took care of the kids a few times and helped with the non-medical management of the hospital. She was a good manager, so I made her take on the role of the head of our PR team. Alpha Finley followed my mother as
Chapter 162 Resurrection Of The Miracle Doctor Jasmine's POV "Dr. Jasmine!" A random voice screamed. I turned in the direction and found a man in his mid-thirties, groaning in pain. He nursed his left arm with his right and looked a bit battered. His shirt was torn in a few places, and so were his pants, in addition, they were dirty. "Hello," I smiled genuinely when I got to where he was standing. "Dr. Jasmine, my body aches." He groaned in severe pain. "What happened to you, if I may ask?" I began integrating him, still observing him closely. "I fell off a cliff while hiking." He said briefly. "It feels like all my bones are broken." He continued to cry out. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." I offered my sympathy. "Thank you, Dr. Jasmine." He sniffled. "Will I be able to use my arm again?" He asked genuinely. It must be a strong fall because most times our wolf abilities helped in the healing process and made it faster. If he was this concerned, then we had a lot of work to do,
Chapter 161 Multiple Blessings As A Comeback Jasmine's POV Last night was a very emotional one for us. After we spoke to Sebastian on the phone, I didn't even let the call drop before I ran like a thief into my parent's room for the second time. Initially, they were reluctant to indulge me, but when Sebastian spoke up again, they were caught up in their disbelief as they sprang up from bed, wanting to snatch the phone from me. My mother didn't mind if she was in a skimpy gown and with her mate in bed, and so did my father, and it was even better since I was the only one around. After much battle, I handed the phone over to them in tears and they spoke at length with their son, asking for forgiveness, and also pleaded that he had a change of mind and returned for the full moon holidays. Sebastian on the other hand, was quite repentant than I had figured him to be. He also apologized to his parents and myself and Asher, and we bonded like one big family. Throughout last night, my
Chapter 160 Merry Go Round Jasmine's POV "Ah!" I groaned, a loud deafening cry. Sebastian was freaking alive?! Damn it! I flung the paper from Asher's hand in disbelief... The news was a good one, but I was still living in denial, it was too good to be true. "Oh my!" I whimpered, my hands were visibly shaky. By now, my sweaty palms had left brown maps on the pure white sheet. "It's Sebastian," Asher spoke after a long pause. He was still clearly in shock like myself, if not more. Without prior thoughts, I got off the bed and rushed out of the room, headed to my parent's room. I couldn't wait to see their reaction. Even though they seemed to have moved on, it was no denying that they missed him so much. First, he was their son, their only biological child, and second, everything around them reminded them of Sebastian... The throne, food, events he was unable to meet up because of his sudden demise... They would be over the moon, I could stake my life on it. "Mother!" I cried as
Chapter 159 An Unexpected Visitor From The Past Jasmine's POV I remained in Asher's bosom as we cuddled up in bed all day. It was the full moon period and the pack were preparing for a splendid celebration. The kids were at their father's pack, they remained with their grandparents after the visit to his pack to show me the surprise. It was already a week after that wonderful day, and I had yet to fully shake off it. Who would have expected? From day one, I knew Asher's love was unbeatable but I never saw that coming. He kept raising the bar over and over again every freaking day. I finally get to be a doctor, I finally get to live in my dreams all day without fear of waking up from it prematurely! Damn! "I just called the manager in charge of the construction." Asher dropped the phone and played with my hair, running his hand through it and lacing multiple strands around his fingers. "Okay?" I titled my chin upward so it was leaning directly on his bosom. I was so invested in
Asher's POV "Babe!" I got into the bedroom and dived into it, missing her by an inch. "Jeez!" She exclaimed and adjusted swiftly, preventing the wrecking of her toes and limbs. "What was that for?" She frowned, looking at me sternly like she would kill me with her gaze if she could. "I'm sorry," I chuckled. "I'm just super excited for you," I added. "For me?" She rolled her eyes in a 'what for?' way. "So, you know that I keep going to my pack every weekend, huh?" I waited for her to respond and she nodded her head in affirmation. "The thing is that I have a surprise for you." I finished, the excitement palpable in my voice. "You need to see it!" I beamed. "In your pack?" "Yup." I nodded furiously, with a goofy grin plastered across my cheeks. "Nah," She frowned, collapsing back in the bed. "I'm tired." She grumbled."Up, up." I spanked her hips. "We have to get going, time is not on our side." I urged her. "Which is why I can't go." She sighed. "The day is far gone, you can
Chapter 157 A New Chapter Jasmine's POV Two Years Later. Asher went to his pack for the weekend. Like me, he had accepted to become the alpha, but he just did recently, and it was because he was rendering a helping hand and solid support to me. Together, we helped my parents, and never did we stop treating them like family, because they deserved much more than we could give. "Mum? I can't find Penny." Emily cried in frustration. "Have you checked around?" I waited for her to respond and she nodded. "Maybe check the garden? She may be in love with nature.""Not really," She frowned. "I doubt she will be outside, I didn't let her out." She sighed. "You could ask the servants to help you out... respectfully," I added. "Okay." She shrugged and bobbed out.I laughed shortly as I watched her leave. The kids had moved down to the pack with us, as we couldn't leave them with Liam and Rylee for a long period of time. Initially, they were sad, as they had changed schools for the umptee
Chapter 156 The Saving Jasmine's POV I remained curled up in bed, still in a beaten state. It had been days since Sebastian's death and we were yet to shake off the sad reality... There was no getting of this ill fate. Asher came into the room, holding a cup of tea on a saucer. He looked pretty much stressed, the whole household was practically in distress. Neither I nor Asher got to play with the kids like we used to, or even make them the nice meals we usually do. Although Asher tried his best to be present, it would never be the same as it used to be. Our existence of late was basically bland and without flavor. The kids only went to school, are and remained in their room, the only person that managed to escape the claws of boredom was Emily as she had Penny. Their grandparents were even more grieved than me. "Babe, you should have something in your system." He set the cup of tea beside me and sat at the foot of the bed, just close to my toes. "I'm fine," I brushed his offer
Jasmine's POVIt was an early Saturday morning, I was sorting out dirty clothes in the hamper as I prepared to do the laundry. This was something I hated about weekends, I basically had to do all of what I wasn't able to do during weekdays and there was no way I would leave the laundry till the upper week. Since my parents got discharged from the hospital, we agreed to allow them to stay with us for about three months and see how things go. Next week would make it three months, and so far, they were going perfectly, especially for my father who was seriously ill. And next, I would make food for the kids and my parents. Jeez! It was overwhelming. Not like Asher wasn't helping, but I just got lazy over the week. Plus, Asher went out to do some inquiries for the new company he was starting, which meant he would not be home anytime soon and when he returned, it's proper he gets fed. "Mum?!" I heard the kids scream. I sighed loudly, partly irritated. They would never cease to annoy me
