Chapter 96: Hopping In The Devil’s Ship Jasmine's POV “Hey, Jasmine,” A cool and familiar, yet dreadful voice called out to me from behind. I went rigid for a moment because I didn't need to look around to tell it was my worst nightmare that haunted me from behind, and this was even worse because I wasn't in a dream, it was my freaking reality. “Common, don't you want to attend to your guest?” He beckoned to me when I snubbed him totally... not willingly, till now, I was yet to get hold of myself. "Stay away from me, Sebastian." I issued a stern warning still rooted in the same spot. “Are you sure you want that?” He demanded keenly, with a hint of mockery in his voice. Yes, I want that, scratch that, I need that! Better still, I wanted to be away from him as far as I could and as quickly as possible, but my feet betrayed me, as it was too shaken to as much as move an inch. Dear goddess, this last time, I beg you, I whimpered. "I see you wore the dress... I wasn't expecting you
Jasmine’s POV I was drowning in my thoughts, and it was obvious that there was no help nearby. Sebastian was certainly out to get me, and I was here, quivering and dancing into his grasp. You wouldn't be wrong to say how stupid I was to still be indulging my ex, and in my defense, this wasn't a case of the heart wanting what it wants, but there was this pull that I couldn't explain, till now...His eyes were suddenly as deep as the ocean that pulled me into their depths helplessly, his voice beckoned to me, and oddly, it was like music to my ears... delightful melody, and his scent, one perfume that was so strong on me even though I never wore it. In the long run, all I was saying was that I needed some slack too. "I see someone finally agreed with me.” He made a short snort sound that was plain mockery. "Get the fuck out of my way, Seb...” I refrained from calling his name, aware that it set him ablaze in ways I couldn't explain, I was so stunned I only realized I had a freak on
Chapter 98 Agreeing To A Crazy Demand Jasmine's POV "Then dance with him.” She brought the proposal back to the table. Wait... What?! Like what the actual fuck?! Why did she do that when I said no countless times? Why do parents enjoy shoving their will down their children’s throats? For instance, even though a greater part of my coming here was because I missed them so badly, they actually did try to manipulate me and bend me to their will. Damn, my dumb skull! What was I expecting, a bowl of milk like Penny or bone and crackers as a treat? Of course, this was bound to happen, not when I agreed to a ridiculous will he brought up on the table, not even holding a freaking gun to my freaking skull. The worst part was that I never saw this coming, either I was plain silly, or naive. I bet it wasn't just I who felt the piercing silence that followed immediately after she said that... Perhaps it was just Asher and me that it affected, because the other three beside us, felt elated, mat
Chapter 99 A Costly Mistake, Trouble Of A Lifetime Jasmine’s POV I almost lost a rib, as I took to a sporadic laughter, immediately Luna Diana said that. We both know she couldn't dance to save her life, so why was she trying so hard to pin a dance with Sebastian on me? Or, was I missing the tiny fragments of the big picture? What if this was all a set up to reconcile the family... Like my father wasn't sick and all of those bull I was sold. “Darling, is this you flirting with another gentleman in my presence?” Mr. Carter spoke up with a cold voice, and this was him addressing his Luna. I would feel hurt too if the roles were switched, but I so much doubt that my father felt that way, else why would he address the other man as a gentleman when he should be aiming at digging into his head and feasting on his brains like a zombie, instead, he was been all cordial and funky... Plus, the man in question was Asher, his beloved daughter’s supposed mate. "Do I sense jealousy?” Luna Dian
Jasmine's POVHis eyes were now a pair of deep royal blue that burned with so much intense passion, lust and arousal... And in them, I caught a reflection of mine; a pair of red fierce eyes that had mixed emotions. Oddly, my gaze wander around his neck and settled on a small and delicate spot. Blood! Blood! Blood! Was all my frenzy mind could scream. And what amazed me was the fact that it wasn't out of spite that I desperately wanted a bite and taste of him, but sudden developed longing, like my wolf was switched. No... No! I pressed my eyelids firmly, with high hopes that it would go away... All of it. “Do it.” His deep penetrating voice ordered me like I was jinxed. My lips parted on their own accord, as my eyes were fixed on the same spot on his neck like they were earlier. Oddly, his vessels became prominent... not to anyone else, but to the soul that longed to have a taste from their river beds, me!"Do it Jasmine..." He beckoned to me, his voice the smoothest siren. "Bite me
Asher's POV Kill that asshole! No, strangle him till he beg for death, and ensure it would be the one thing he would never get! “Focus, dear.” Luna Diana cupped my chin, straughtened it till I was looking at her gorgeous face and returned her hand to lay on my shoulder and around my neck, where it had always been. Jeez! Could she just let me go already? For what seemed like ages, we were stuck in the same dance step, repeating it like we were rehearsing for a festival. I was tired and slowly getting irritated, not of her, but of the whole situation. As though she could read my thoughts, she carefully positioned her underarm on my arm, and her hand around my shoulder took my neck in a tender grasp. We waltz, not changing any freaking dance steps or swinging or chanting, we were like rocks, fulfilling their mission to make the earth solid, a pity duty. “Sebastian!” I groaned in my head, but even though it was in my head, I was scared she heard me because of the intensity with which
Asher's POV "I see you barely have the balls for anything." Sebastian spewed and scoffed, right in my face. The heck?! I clenched my fists beside me, trying so hard to keep my temper in check. He needed to be told I've got balls than the asshole... freaking balls, not just meant to pop cubs!'And then what?' My wolf groaned. 'Best the asshole to death and bury him in his freaking pack.' I spat back. 'How about beheading him and showing the members of his pack the head of their alpha before going to yours?' My wolf asks sarcastically. I sighed softly, not sure what to say to him. My head was in a state of chaos, even worse than my actual surroundings. 'Whose side are you on?' I asked, already tired of thinking it through. 'Not on yours, or anyone at that, this time around.' He spat out bluntly. 'How would you think of jeopardizing your life and family just for revenge...''Not for revenge, it's for a reminder.' I corrected him.'Oh... Just to prove a point, tell me something mor
Sebastian's POV "And I would hop and leave if I were you," I responded anyway, even though Asher was long gone and he had only his back to me. That was the plan, to claim my woman and make her crazy lover so uncomfortable. And I was beyond glad my little game was working, even more than I envisaged. Who would think Jasmine would ever react to me that way? The sudden flash of attraction in her eyes, red, fierce, and greedy. I saw it and I longed for her to make me hers. While her eyes were wet with raw emotions, my suddenly sprouted fangs pressed against my jaws... Like she desperately wanted to mark me, I also wanted to return the favor. Having no companion, I walked out of the dancefloor and headed towards the exit. Thankfully, my father was no longer in the hall, nor was my mother, which was strange. About a while ago, they were both in the hall and watching over me like a hawk, and now they were both gone?I shrugged in an 'I don't give a fuck' way and continued walking toward
