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 I should be bothered about being unemployed because I have a family to care for and a whole lot of ambitions to accomplish, but I find myself thinking about home. My body was right here with Emily, but my soul and mind were home. I longed to be with my father and most especially, get all of this over with. “Mum?” Emily's tiny voice pulls me back to the real world. I was swift enough to stop myself from yelping. Even though her voice was the softest and sweetest melody, it startled me. “Yes, baby?” I pulled her to myself and wrapped her in my arms. "Speak to me darling, mum is all ears.” I promoted her. Oddly, she drew closer, her pretty bulgy eyes were on me, scanning my face with scrutiny, and her brows furrowed seconds later, with her lips formed in a pout. "Why are you crying?" She wiped my moist cheeks with her little palm. Oh... What was I expecting? Emily was a smart kid, she was also the curious and adventurous type. It was no wonder she knew I wasn't fe
Asher's POV“Fuck you!” Liam screamed as he launched himself at me fiercely. This Liam was like a wild cat even though he had no trace of werewolf blood running in his veins. He looked furious and scary, way more than a mortal ordinarily would appear. "Yo!” I was terrified of the beast I awakened. I wasn't swift enough to dodge him, as his fist smacked me hard on the face and I fell flat to the ground with my back, with him safely landing on top of me like a squirrel hunting for ripe berries. “Ouch... Shit!” I lamented as I took the defense, shielding every fierce blow the angry bird threw at me. “I hate you!” He didn't relent as he moved on from random punches to slaps and kicks with his knee and each got harder than the previous. It was both painful and hilarious, because this was the first time I had seen Liam this pissed, and it had him acting like a toddler throwing tantrums. “Argh!” I groaned when a slap landed on my nose, almost distorting it from its original position.
Sebastian’s POV“Let's do this.” This sounded like a command, and I hated it when I got commanded by just anybody. On second thought, it seemed like an agreement... Wait! Who was it?!The frail feminine voice had me shaking my head to get who it was, even though my guesses were narrow. I looked at my phone and the private number again. I only had a pending proposal with Jasmine and a disagreement with Dr. Kylie. Aside from the two of them, I had no woman in my life, except my mother, of course. Talia was far gone.Striking my mother off the list, I was left with Jasmine and Dr. Kylie. If Jasmine wanted to state her point, she didn't need to use a private number. What were these sudden changes all about? It made it hard for me to trap my prey. And with Dr. Kylie, she wouldn't be opting for a bargain I am still ignorant of, also, the last time she left here, she was furious. It would come as a rude shock if her voice was this frail and tender. “Are you still there?” The caller inqui
Jasmine's POV“And the award for the most naughty mum of the year goes to...”"Oh, please, stop being ridiculous." I stopped Rylee from finishing off. “Now I'm being ridiculous. Really?” She scoffed. "Look at the one who sent her kids away.” She didn't budge. “I didn't send my kids away.” I defender myself. “So, explain adding extra curricular activities to their initial school work, if not to have Asher all to yourself. " She mocked. "Greedy mum.”“They need to learn... There are a lot of catching up to do.” I sighed. "You should see it from my perspective before you judge me at least.”“Yen. Yen. Yen.” She mimicked me, and made no effort in doing it right. I looked and sounded awful on her. I stiffened a grin. I was being mocked, there was no way I would make it obvious that she was funny. “Baby girl, you only got rid of them, admit to it.” She rolled her eyes. Right now, I was unable to suppress the laughter aggressively brewing inside of me. Rylee saw beyond my facade, alw
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
