Broken and Boldness

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2022-08-04 19:14:08

It'd been four weeks since Kyle died. A whole month since Jasmine and the entire Vampire assembly has been mourning over the death of their king and for the last seven days, Jasmine had neither eaten anything nor drank anything.

She was standing by the sea shore, staring into space and reminiscing over the last couple of years. The beginning and mid part of the last seven hundred and thirty-one days of her life were bright and eventful so how did everything turn out so blue and forlorn?

The last week of her life at the vampire's camp was unbearable and that was why the heads of the vampire dynasty decided to send her off on a vacation. She needed a breather and a new space as everything back home reminded her of Kyle.

"Kyle, why did you?" She broke down once again, catching her stomach tightened as she sobbed on. Feeling the child in her stomach gave her reassurance that Kyle was close to her and this time even, she hoped he'd answer. "Tell me why, Kyle?"

Dominic was inside the sea house where he'd been staying with Jasmine for the last week. He was cooking breakfast in the kitchen when he saw Jasmine clutching her stomach and bending over. To some onlookers, it would appear as though she was trying to pick the pearl shells that were washed ashore by the wave but Dominic knew better. He had always done so and that was why Kyle handed both Jasmine and his unborn child to his care; the same reason why the vampire's heads agreed to let him accompany Jasmine on her vacation. 

Dominic upon seeing Jasmine hurriedly dried his hands on the apron dangling from his waist. He took the apron off and hurried on to where Jasmine was. Wordlessly, he circled his arms around her and let her cry in his arms for the umpteenth time. He kissed the top of her head tenderly and traced a soothing finger across her back. 

"Shhh," he cooed into her ears, rocking her on his legs. "It is fine... It is going to be okay," he whispered tenderly into her ears.

"When? I don't even know how to move on."

"Well, you don't have to at the moment. That's why I am here. I'll help you. But just for the sake of the baby, try to put yourself together. He needs you to be strong for him,"

"Well, I don't care..."

"This is unfair to the baby, Jasmine," Dominic gently scolded her. He turned to look at her in the eyes but she paid him no regard. "Jasmine?" 

"Let me be, Dominic," 

"You know there's no fucking way in hell I'd do that. Think about Kyle, Jasmine. Think about the promise you made to him. If you don't get a hold of yourself now and start acting, how else do you think you'd make them pay for what they did to Kyle? You know as much as I do that those people won't let it slide. They sure as hell know someone would come for them and so I bet they are making plans of their own. I think it is high time you get your head back into the game," 

"I know," Jasmine said firmly, turning to look at Dominic as his hold on her loosened. "I've been thinking, Dom, and I know you are right. Just like you said, there's no way I'd get my mind back into the game if I continue to sulk away like this. I must return home and join forces with that of the vampire's heads. I must find Bernard and Jamieson and kill them with my hands," 

"And as for the baby?" Dominic asked, looking intently at Jasmine's stomach. 

"I'll take care of him. He'll be fine... We will be fine," Jasmine said, placing her hands on her invincible bump.

"And I'll make sure of that, I promise. I'll protect you both and I'll help you execute your revenge on Jamieson and Bernard,"  

Jasmine disentangled her body completely from Dominic's and focused her attention back on the Sea. Dominic's words were supposed to bring relief to her but they didn't. 

"I don't want you to help me with that," Jasmine said, not meeting Dominic's gaze. 

"What do you mean?" 

"I don't want you fighting for or with me. This is my fight, Dominic and I want to do it on my own." 

"I also have a score to settle with Jamieson. Trisha and I also. If she couldn't pay for her life since, at least her father or her uncle should," On Dominic's side, his fingers clenching by his side. His mind drifted to the time when he had to take his death because of Trisha. He also remembered how she had sold him out to Kyle to be killed. "Jasmine I..."

"My mind is made up, Dominic. I'll return to the vampire's camp and the people there will help me. I don't want to make this any more complicated than it already is." Dominic's nostrils flared.

"Make what more complicated?" 

"This..." She motioned between the two of them. "Whatever this is between us. This is such a bad time and I feel weird about all these things happening."

"I don't understand what you are talking about Jasmine. Please come out in clearer terms." Dominic said frustratingly. 

"You know you don't want to anger her right?" Hunter, Dominic's wolf grumbled in his head.

"I'm not trying to get her angry. I just want her to clarify what she meant," Dominic's mind linked with his wolf.

"You can say that without raising your voice. Don't say I didn't warn you if things go south between you both." Hunter said and disappeared. 

Dominic closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, seconds later when he was much calmer he opened them and turned to face Jasmine. "What then do you want me to do?" 

"Robert" Jasmine replied too quickly.

"Rob?" 

She nodded.

"Yes, Rob. When I'm busy plotting my revenge scheme, I need you to help me watch over him. Will you?"

    Dominic looked at Jasmine after she made her request for him to watch over Rob and she was staring at him too, waiting for a reply. He smiled and took her hands "Of course Jasmine, I'd gladly do that for you," he said and gently pushed her hair that had gotten in her face back before he took her hand again and stared at her. "Thank you, Dom, I'm grateful for your kindness," she said and he shook his head "I want to do it, Jasmine, Rob is like a son to me too okay," he insisted and she nodded her head with a smile still on her face. "If you insist," she replied and turned to walk down the shoreline of the beach."C'mon, let's go on a walk," she urged Dominico and he followed her as she took slow and steady steps down the shoreline while they still held hands and talked for a while. Jasmine suddenly felt tired and wanted to sit so he let her and they sat on the sand at the beach and watched the sunset while he played with her hair and watched her scribble meaningless things on the sand

    Jasmine jerked up the moment the wheels of the plane she was riding in touched the ground. The public addresser went off, informing the occupants of the plane that they had reached their destination. Groggily, Jasmine stood up and wiped sleep off her face. Her golden-green eyes instantly changed colors mirroring her mood. She was tired after the long ride and felt jet lagged. "I'll see you around," Dominic said to Jasmine, engulfing her in a short but warm hug. "Be careful, okay? And tell Rob I'll come to see him soon. Tell him I love him and that I really miss him," Jasmine said, the calm of her hybrid eyes returning to her pupils."I will. Call me when you get home," Dominic said and Jasmine nodded. She came outside the plane and waited until it was her turn to grab her luggage. When she actually did, she heaved a relief sigh."Here comes everything!" Jasmine murmured to herself as she strolled out of the airport with her luggage. Her skin at once registered the familiar feeling o

    PRESENT DAY (END OF FLASHBACK)Jasmine still sat in her room alone with her thoughts. The tears weren't coming anymore, due to the relief she felt from baby Kyle's kick… but her heart felt heavy, her eyes were puffy and she couldn't exactly put a finger on what she was feeling at that moment.A knock came on the door and she looked at the door immediately, wondering who it could be until the person spoke up. "Hey, Jasmine, it's Loretta," she said and Jasmine released a breath of relief before she stood up and opened the door to let her in.Loretta took one look at her face and knew she had been crying. She didn't want to talk about it though because Jasmine was pregnant and her mood would be all over the place so she decided to fix it the best way she could."You should wash up before coming out, it's time for dinner," she said and Jasmine shook her head before sitting back on the bed. "I'm not hungry, Loretta. I just want to rest," she replied and Loretta rolled her eyes before going

    "I've got five members of the directory board on our side; two more and we shouldn't have to worry about the company's ownership," Ariel said to Raul and he nodded."And the members of the pack?" Raul asked Ariel."I'm working on it. Quite a number of us are rooting for you to be our leader and not some goddamn woman, who knew nothing about the brotherhood? I mean how can a werewolf rule the vampire kingdom because of a certain transformation?""Totally stupid! This is why we must work together to ensure Jasmine doesn't get to sit on the ruler's seat. What if their goddess plays a round on us and mates her as the wife of the werewolf boy?" Raul asked begrudgingly. "Then she'd sell us out to the werewolves and make them use us as slaves!" A third voice spoke from behind the curtains and immediately, Raul and Ariel turned to look at the intruder. Two weeks had passed since Arturo made that suggestion at the dinner table and it had been two weeks since neither Raul nor Ariel rested. The

    Raul's screams didn't stop the venom coming from the lowermost trench of Jasmine's stomach, it was even accentuated. The ambivalence of It was that Jasmine wasn't the regulator of the force. It was the baby in her womb.Jealousy flocked in his heart, as unborn as he was, he was still the danger, hegemony, and possession of his mate and the only person he had loved.Kyle grabbed Raul's neck in such a way he knew he couldn't survive, even if he did, he would spend half of his remaining life, bedridden. He could forever regret the way he wanted to backbite him, daring his mate.Raul was now above the floor, mouth dipped of foams, tongue sprouting out and his hands were up in the air as a form of surrender.

    As Jasmine stepped into the room, the atmosphere became tense. Tense enough to cause chillings around. However, none of the Vampire parliament wanted to admit the effect of her presence around them. It made them crusty and coarse. They all sat with the doctor, with their hatred in their minds, they had their eyes glittered with darkened stares upon sighting her. Eventually, as she moved closer, their glares pierced into her skin except the doctor, an elderly middle aged man with white hair and binoculars. Concurrently, they had their thoughts brainwashed by Asher and they all believed it was Jasmine who attempted to kill Raul just to get him out of her way.

  • THE REVENGEFUL HYBRID QUEEN   The parting again

    “What!?” Dominic spat with a startled breath by Alpha Arthur’s threat. Though he knew he was right, still he couldn’t be like a desperate fool for aspiring to be an Alpha. He already had an Alpha wolf and his future was promising and bright without the offer. If he mustn’t get caught with fear under this threat, or else, his emotion and authority would be ridden on and trample upon even after he got to be an Alpha when it got to Alpha Arthur. He could rob it on his face, reminding him that he was the one who offered him the position under intimidation. Did he want that life? No! He had to pointedly stand firmly in his strength as an Alpha wolf in every decision and not to act like a pathetic desperate loser. He stood up calmly, “I maintain. You have to give me some days to think about this. It isn’t something I can agree to desperately,” he pointed out maturely and then smiled before chiming, “It is pleasant to have you here in my little abode. Oh! My bad! I don’t entertain you. Do

    Asher eyes swept through the glass wall watching Jasmine gasping out for air when in the middle of the new initiates’ further orientation and a smirk danced upon his face. That was the karma for trying to be a man, he mocked her with the smirk darkened on his face. He knew he couldn’t have allowed a woman to get this away with him. The initiates were his sweat, but she was the one taking the praise he was supposed to get over them. It hurt him deeply and he could only wait for the right time…If not that he had his other plans to get her, he could have obdurately fought this to finish. But right now, he could cross his arms and wait for the time to strike. Then it wouldn’t be him and her. It would be the fight between him and that kid in her womb. Precisely, he could allow her to think he had given up.‘Just one thing, you will be down,’ he grunted in his mind. His smirk developed into a mirthful chuckle at his thought.

You are not worthy… I say this again, you don’t have the power to become our leader, so don’t dare try to contest with me!” Asher yelled at Jasmine. Jasmine eyes rose. A smirk danced on her lips, “Tell me, what do you have to be a leader too?” she snapped, her voice was calm and powerful. Her feature was strident stance, avail of strength. “I am a full vampire but what about you?” Asher asked as he moved closer to her. his hands spread apart with a corner of his lip lifted with a smirk. Jasmine chuckled out, mocking his ignorance, “You aren’t a full Vampire, Asher. You were born a human, a weak and vulnerable creature and Kyle did you the best thing to change you to a vampire, whereas I was born a werewolf, one of the most powerful creatures in the world. I volunteered to be a vampire because of love. Now tell me from the right perspective, who should retain the position of a leader between me and you or me and Raul?” Jasmine said b
