Jasmine's POVAngry bird; Bloodshot eyes, stern look, heavy breathing, hardened veins that were pulsating so hard like they would rupture. He looked scary. To be honest, I lacked words to describe the furious Brady I was looking at. Both hands behind his back, he paced about his office in silence, and occasionally stopped in front of me to stare me down, with disgust in his eyes. “Here.” He tossed an ice pack at Dr. Kylie, that he took out from the freezer compartment of his refrigerator. The pack landed on his desk, just in front of her. She took it and examined it like it was her first time dealing with ice packs. I simply sighed, wishing I could smack the pack on her already swollen face and cause more harm. "It would help as a cold compress, constrict your blood vessels, and decrease the bleeding...” He was basically ranting. "... and also the swelling. I know you're learned in the field.” He sighed. Dr. Kylie nodded, giving her baby look, thankfully, she looked like the ass
Liam's POV“Is she crying?!” I whispered beneath my breath. She noticed I was gawking at her and tried her best to not keep an eye contact. Even at that, I stole glances at her occasionally. One thing was certain, she wasn't just in a bad mood, but she might be sick or angry. “Why is she crying?” I couldn't stay out of her business and turn a blind eye to her predicament. It was hard staying put in my seat, and restricted to my side of the office when Jasmine seemed to be in a terrible state. It was about three minutes ago when she barged in and couldn't keep eye contact with me. And next, she began to sniffle occasionally. “It’s none of your business,” I told myself silently. My too-caring-to-a-fault brain needed to hear those words a thousand and one times. She had said that to my face when we fell out recently, I didn't need any reminder to stay off her toes. “Oh... Brady...” I stopped myself from picking a fight with my boss in my head. "It's not your damn business,” I repea
Rylee's POV“Oh, my poor baby,” I whispered as I hurried up the stairs. "I'm coming to get you.” I was momentarily blind as I paid no attention to anyone or anything while juggling up the flight of stairs. I promise I will never forgive anyone if anything bad should happen to Liam. I had watched him face the legions after his life and career in a gentlemanly way, but it was high time I stepped in and saved the day. "Ouch." A familiar voice whimpered when I bumped into her. Her cry was so sharp that I snapped out of my head and swiftly turned to see who it was, and also with an apology on my lips. “I'm so...” I trailed off on seeing it was Jasmine. She was carrying a box that was clutched to her bosom. To be honest, she looked beyond moody... miserable was the word and it wasn't because I was trying to sound like a bitch, or make her seem bad. “Hi.” I greeted awkwardly and slowed down my pace, unsure if I should just ignore her. She caught me by surprise and I didn't know how be
Asher’s POV“You came.”The box she was holding fell to the ground with a loud thud before I could intervene. I stopped mid-way, with the damage already done. The only thing left was to pack up the things that were redeemable. Her items were on the ground; sheets of paper, small leather bags, her gadgets... But what mattered most right now was the safety of this woman right in front of me. She looked horrible and pale and broken. I pulled her in a hug, a tight reassuring hug. I had tons of questions, but they had to wait, no matter how curious I was. She sniffled randomly, which made it obvious that she was fighting a sob. No, not when her prince charming was right beside her. “Let it all out, darling...” I whispered to her eating, like I was practicing hypnosis on her. And like she needed my approval, she started by laughing wryly, until reality hit her so hard that she broke down helplessly in my bosom, crying like a baby. She was my baby after all. For long minutes, we only re
Dr. Kylie's POVI wasn't entirely okay, but after Dr. Ross got fired and walked out of the door leaving Brady and me alone in his office, my demons from hell mocked me, so loudly I felt like I would go crazy. “He would come for me... and soon,” I whispered to myself as my heartbeat spiked like an athlete. The silence between us was awkward, scratch that... killing. Silence wasn't golden at all, around a renowned grumpy fellow. I had never been with Brady in this state, and right now, I was beyond terrified. “Easy, Kylie,” I continued reciting random words just to feel good. My hand twitched and suddenly became shaky. I clutched tightly on the ice pack, and pressed it harder on my cheek, even though the area had gone numb from excess application. It was a miracle I still held onto the freezing pack. "Are you okay?" Brady asked, staring at me keenly. I bet he saw through me right now. “Yes,” I nodded furiously. "I am, thank you.” I bit on my lower lip, the pressure almost digging
Dr. Kylie’s POVI had to admit, this was the most embarrassing moment of my life. The thing about being guilty was that people didn't need to whisper as you walked past, you just hear voices... voices made up in your head. And they also didn't need to look at you with hate in their eyes, but you see your hateful image in their eyes, they became a mirror that showed your ugly reflection. “I hate you, Dr. Ross! I freaking hate you too, Brady! I hate y'all...”The knock on the door jolted me back to reality. I looked upward, to find the door open without my permission. Standing by the door frame, was Dr. Liam. As I did since the fight, I always tried to read off people's emotions and guess what they thought of me, but the man standing in front of me was blank. Bland effect. He strolled in at a snail's pace and stared at me with so much disgust, that I was scared he would jump on me and finish what Dr. Ross started. I was sure everyone knew by now... Oh no! “I heard what Dr. Ross did
Rylee’s POV‘A field of delicious chaos.’If I were asked to describe my kitchen in a sentence, that would be the first response I would give. To say it was a total disaster was, to say the least. To be honest, I am beyond terrified at the sight of it. I would have to ask the housekeeper over to clean up this mess. For now, I was home alone. Liam went out to help me with grocery shopping, as I had cramps a while ago. Now that I was feeling a bit better, I decided to make him his favorite cookies and smoothie as a surprise. I couldn't wait to see the surprise look on his face. I might even take it a step further and cradle beneath the duvet and allow the amazing scent of the blooming goodies to confuse him a bit. Chocolate cookies with choco chips and banana smoothies are his go-to... And then me, of course. We were his favorite thing in the world, and believe me when I say he would sacrifice anything for us. I had the chocolate chips already cut out and packed in a bowl, whisked
Liam's POV“Argh!” I sighed as I struggled with the bags of groceries and toiletries from the passenger side of the car. They were not so heavy, but I was already exhausted. Knowing how particular Rylee was on her personal items, I walked around the mall almost three times just to be sure I got the exact thing she wrote on the list. Ladies! Finally having a fine grasp of all of them, I started for the door. I managed to bring out my bunch of keys from my pocket and insert the right one in the lock. I bet Rylee was still exhausted, I wouldn't want to bother her. The door gave way and I got in. Oddly, the living room was a bit warm despite the air conditioner. I closed the door with my leg and advanced in. The scent that greeted me was so fresh and strong and irresistible. “Heavenly,” I whispered as I greedily inhaled the scent of freshly baked chocolate cookies. In haste, I dropped the bag of toiletries on the center table and took the bag of groceries into the kitchen. I was fam
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
