Asher's POV"Alright, Emily, hope down with Penny, we're right at the vet,” Jasmine instructs Emily. I pulled up at the lot in front of the Vet’s office. "Yes, mummy, I'm just trying to get the collar around her neck,” Emily responds sweetly. After Rylee brought the kids over, and Penny too, Emily had a series of amnesia because Penny suffered a terrible stomach ache. This was supposedly the second visit, and Jasmine gossiped that Emily cried when Penny got her first dose of injection. We tried not to laugh at our little mummy. "Common, sweetie, let mummy help you.” Jasmine offered, as she stretched over and got the new collar with a bow, around Penny's neck. “All done, let's go.” “Thanks, mummy.” Emily smiled. "You're welcome, sweetie.” She got down. "You gonna stay behind and watch the boys, yeah?”I looked at the back seat, where Ethan and Ezra were sleeping like logs. They fought on our way to the vet, I bet they were exhausted now. "Sure." I nodded in agreement. I watche
Jasmine's POVToday was the first day of resumption after I got served twice. I didn't look forward to a pleasant day at work, not when all of my clients would go to Dr. Liam, and I would only watch and assist. Liam would never put me in such a tight corner, against Brady's instruction, he would leave me to attend to them myself, but it didn't matter when it changed nothing. And it would never reflect in my paycheck, so why stress? Asher insisted on driving me to work, but I persuaded him to do the school run instead and relax since his job allowed him to work from home. "Hey, Jasmine.” Liam beamed when I got into the office. “Hello, good morning.” “Morning, dear.” He checked me out. "My dear friend is glowing.” I giggled and went to my desk and got comfortable. "Thanks for having the kids for the weekend.” “It's nothing.” He brushed it off as he went through some files on his desk. "And I'm sorry I couldn't come with Rylee to drop the kids. I was a bit tied up with work.”"Tr
Sebastian’s POVThere was a silver lining in everything; good or bad or ugly, Dripped, dripped...I watched as the lacerated muscles of my arm dropped my blood; thick and red, and soaked the torn sleeve of my white shirt, walking its way down my hand. I go over to my desk and gently, I level in my seat, thinking of the best step to take. With closed eyes and a clenched fist, I summoned a spell for healing. I felt the magic come alive as the area where it kissed my broken skin burned. "Argh." I groaned in pain. But that was the best it could do, appear like a twinkle and die off. To be honest, it wasn’t helping even though I could feel my spell come to life. Again, I tried healing my wound internally, and when I summoned the magic with enthusiasm, it died down just as it came alive for the umpteenth time. I looked at my arm, not giving up, I closed my eyes to repeat the mantra. Over and over again, I clenched my fist and tested my healing affinity, desperate for a change. Being
Jasmine’s POVNow that we were alone and in Mr. Carter's lobby, Asher let go of my hand. I felt relieved, and the fear of worrying about people seeing me being dragged out died down. Asher was livid to his bones, but somehow he managed to act like we were a normal couple just having an itsy bitsy quarrel that would blow over with time. His eyes were bloodshot red, and his claws were now retracted. He was not fully possessed by his beast, but he was in a distorted state of mind, regardless. “We still have a few hours till your close of work.” He said after he flipped his watch to look at it and then wriggled his nose. I knew where he was driving at, and I was in no position to fault him. Never in his wildest dream would he leave me while Sebastian still lurked around, not after the awful encounter. I should have known better. But then, how did he know I was at Sebastian’s office? What was he doing here in the first place? I couldn't kick these questions off my head. "I can try to
Jasmine's POV“I suppose we are done here.” Brady dismissed me subtly. Did Brady just threaten me with a dismissal? Of all the things to slam me with, he stooped so low to pick up the dismissal threat from the bottomless pit? Has the world gone nuts? I scoffed, still in denial that I had just been threatened with dismissal, from the same place I gave the entity of my life to. While I was getting back on my feet, after the abandonment drama and childbirth, I enrolled as a student in a medicine college with Asher being much of an assistant. After graduation, I got my first job here, and for the records, I turned down a few offers, and even more juicy ones after I got my nickname as the miracle doctor. If only I left, maybe I wouldn't be in the mess from the onset, or maybe my ugly fate would have taunted me still, until I was broken... Fate was fate, become invisible or not. "Close the door behind you,” Brady instructed, tired of waiting for me to take the initiative. I dragged m
Sebastian's POVIt was time to see the ball rolling. After I was well rested, I resumed plotting my schemes. Carefully, I weighed my juicy options one by one, to either eliminate the unfavorable ones and pick the best option at the end of the day or to use them simultaneously if need be. The first one was to report to Brady. No doubt, I would get him and a whole bunch of the hospital staff on my side playing pity party, especially since I was a new member of the board of directors... There was a virus that made old staff treat newer ones extra special, and they were pretty infected. I could tell a lie and make it seem like Jasmine's lover was just being paranoid. He might be taken for a psycho after this got out. Also, what made this even better, was that he was within the hospital premises to create a scene, when he shouldn't be lurking around in here as he had no business. He might end up being jailed for assault, and Jasmine might lose her job. Nah. I shook my head, hating th
Asher's POV"He can't have her... He isn't stupid to do that again... She will be fine...” I told myself repeatedly, to get my act together, before I turned on the ignition and drove out of the hospital premises. Off to the hotel, which was a five-star rated firm, about five minutes drive from the hospital Jasmine worked at. I was restless at the reception, my words didn't provide much comfort, rather than mocked me. When I finally secured the room, I was up there like a hawk, watching over the hospital for the slightest change, thanks to the proximity, and a room with a better angle. If I as little as perceived any little scheme, I was ready to jump down and save my girl... The egoistic part of me was not ready to take any chances. Instead of pacing about restlessly, I decided to do a few things to get my mind off the drama. Around 12: 30 PM, I went for school runs and a few stops with the kids to get them their favorite toys and snacks. I was acting on reflex, wanting to secur
Jasmine's POV‘Rylee, love, love; My phone rang out and vibrated on the bedside table. Siri read out the caller the exact way I saved it. There was no pretending to still be asleep. It was my day off, matter of fact, I had today and tomorrow to relax and recuperate. Asher offered to prepare the kids for school and drove all the way to drop them at school. This wasn’t him trying to be on their good book, Asher was just being an angel. After he returned, he had to rush out again for a few deliveries. Lazily, my hand searched for the screaming phone beside me, with my eyes still shut with the fold. “Argh!” I groaned when I almost knocked down the lamp on the table. This time, I searched slowly and carefully. Finally grabbing the phone, I brought it closer and I randomly swiped the screen to the left, already acquainted with operating my phone even when lying dead. Just in time, I answered before it went to voice mail. “Hey, Jasmine.” Rylee's bubbly demeanor is also reflected in her
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
