Jasmines Pov
We arrived back at the packhouse, passing soldiers that were already on the way to help my parents, who I knew were already gone. I just knew it deep down, because there was a hole that opened suddenly in my heart, and I couldn't seem to close it. Once we got back to the packhouse, we were met by Luna Leena, Alpha John, my brother Darnell and the Alphas' son Oliver.
" What happened?" Alpha John demanded. I didn't have a wolf, but I felt his fury roll-off in waves. He would have felt the death of his beta, which means most likely, my mother was dead too.
" Alpha" Adam bows. " We were told by Beta Jessica and Daniel that rouges were spotted near the pack. They were rushing to the woods, and we had let our daughter play there with Jasmine. We were able to save them, but I believe the Betas are now dead", Adam says, bowing his head.
Darnell tries to run to get to our parents, but Oliver is holding him back.
" Why the fuck would you let your daughter go in the forest unsupervised" Luna Leena growls, causing Adam, Lori, and Sabrina to bow their heads in submission. The growl didn't affect me for some reason, but that didn't stop me from bowing my head in shame.
" And you, a beta's daughter. Your friend is an omega, so it doesn't surprise me but you", she says, causing me to hold my head up and look at her. " You. I blame you for this. You fucking knew better, and now your parents are dead" She spat at me, causing me to flinch. Luna Leena had never been hostile towards me before. The venom that dripped with each word sickened me to my stomach, because I knew she was right.
" Get the fuck out of my sight" Alpha John demanded Adam, Lori, and Sabrina. He used his alpha voice, which meant they had no choice but to up and follow it. They left immediately with Sabrina giving me one last sad glance. She knew I needed her right now more than ever, but she couldn't be with me. I would never hold it against her. Now that they were gone, everyone's attention turned toward me.
I looked at Darnell, who had stopped fighting against Oliver and had fallen to his knees. He looks so defeated. I reach out to him but jump back when he growls viciously at me. He stands up and walks over and slaps me. I held my face to try to stop the burn that would follow as I looked up at him. He had never hit me before. Darnell then punched me in my stomach, and I fell over until I was on the ground. He proceeded to kick me. Pack members are watching some with sad looks. Some with pity. Some looked.... happy?
" This is...(kick)...your...(kick).... fucking fault...(kick)" he said as he kicked me all over my body. I looked to the alpha for help, but he just stood there with a blank look as if waiting for something. Luna Leena was smirking and Oliver. Oliver's expression kept shifting between anger and pity.
"Stop please" begged Darnell, but my words were empty as he continued to kick me.
"Fucking.... (kick)...Bitch. (Kick)" he then stopped kicking me and got on his knees, wrapping his hands around my throat. I couldn't believe it. My brother tried to kill me. I wrapped my hands around his wrist trying to move them, but I could already see spots clouding my vision as I couldn't breathe. One more minute now and I would be dead. I stopped resisting, and closed my eyes, waiting to join my parents.
Death never came. Instead, Oliver had grabbed Darnell and pulled him off me. I sat up, wrapping my hands around my throat, trying to catch my breath again. My whole body was in so much pain from almost being kicked to death. Darnell stopped struggling with Oliver.
" You are no longer any fucking sister of mine. Stay out of my fucking way or next time I'll finish the job". He threatened before walking away. Luna Leena just laughs loudly while the Alpha looks at me, as if trying to figure something out. A warrior comes out of the woods and shakes his head, confirming what I already knew. The alpha nods to him and turns around, walking away, with Luna Lenna right behind him. Oliver is still here, and his presence, for some reason, is comfortable. Oliver is just watching me, with his wide range of emotions, mostly negative, some full of pity.
"Thank you" I tried to say with a small smile, but all I could do was a whisper as my throat was sore.
His face seemed to settle in anger after I said that to him. He kneels to me.
" I didn't fucking do it for you. I did it because I needed my beta. You're just a wolf less bitch who got her parents killed. " He growls in my ear low enough for only me to hear. My heart squeezes tight from his words and tears fall again. He stands up and starts to walk away. Everyone is watching, minus Sabrina and her parents. He takes three steps before he turns around. This time his face was freshly angry.
" WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME" he yelled, walking back my way.
" I didn't call you anything", I started to say, but I didn't finish because his foot had connected with my face, and it was lights out for me.
Sabrina Pov Something isn't right. This is what my wolf Flora is telling me as I enter my hut with my parents. I can feel the sadness pouring from them in waves of what happened. Our recklessness. We hadn't even thought we would need supervision, as Jasmine and I tend to go into the forest frequently. What the fuck had changed now? We all sat in the living room. None of them said a word. Flora was still saying something was wrong. "Of course, something is wrong. Jasmine's parents are dead, and there is nothing we can do to help her about it", I told her. " No, I know that. I mean something is off with Jasmine. I think she is in pain”, Flora says. " Well, of course she is. Did you not hear a word of what I just said, I asked her, and she growled at me frustrated? " Besides, how are you sensing her? She has no wolf" I ask her and to that she doesn't respond, which is unlike her, because she usually gives a snarky comment back. I look at my parents. "It's not your fault," I said ou
Jasmines Pov I woke up on a leather chair with lines hooked to my body. I groaned instantly, as it felt like my body had been run over by a thousand trucks. As I looked around, I could tell I was in Sabrina's house. She and I have snuck down here countless times. As I laid in place, everything started coming back to me. Playing with Sabrina. Surrounded by Rouges. Leaving my parents behind to die. Almost being killed by Darnell and being knocked out by Oliver. My right eye felt swollen where his foot connected and there was something over it. I was only seeing from my left eye. At this point, I think I'd rather be dead. I saw Sabrina and Lori come in. Lori starts checking my vitals while Sabrina sits beside me and holds my hand. I don't remember how I got here. "How you are feeling Jasmine," Lori asks in her sweet voice of hers. She and Sabrina look just alike. Both have the same black hair and sky-blue eyes with a heart-shaped face. The only difference is, Sabrina keeps her hair cu
Jasmine Pov I moved into the forest hut today. They gave me one right across from where my parents gave their lives for me. Alpha John and Luna Leena were waiting there when I arrived. Luna Leena's smirk was all over her face. I could tell she was waiting for something. Most likely for me to break down. Alpha John had the same patient expression as if he too were waiting for something. They weren't gonna fucking get it. I went to this clearing yesterday with Sabrina, Lori, and Adam. I cried and cried. The pack members hadn't even tried to clean up the bloodstains. I just left them there as a reminder. I made a promise to my parents in the clearing that I would never let any of them break me, no matter what. As I did, I felt the wind stir and wrap around me as a comfort. I smiled as I felt the ghost of their arms around me. I knew they would never leave me. I intend to keep that promise. I smiled graciously at the Alpha and Luna and bowed as per our custom. I looked at the site with
Jasmine Pov The pain I had been putting up with these last few years was nothing compared to the pain I am feeling right now. My head feels like it's about to burst into two.“Jasmine, you must calm down. The more you resist me, the more painful it will be for both of us” a soothing voice said. I closed my eyes and tried to relax and concentrate on the voice of my wolf. I relaxed my body enough while doing so. “That's it. You are doing great. Let me take over”, She said, and I did. At once, the pain had ended. When I opened my eyes, I could feel another presence in my head. "Holy Shit," Sabrina said, looking into my eyes. "What?" I ask her. She doesn't reply, so I growl a little in annoyance and at one she and Lori are on the ground. What the fuck? "Get Up," I told them, grabbing Sabrina's arm and pulling it up. She looks at me wide-eyed."Why did you both drop? Are you okay? " I asked. "Your wolf is very powerful," Lori said. At once, I felt a burn in my stomach. I lifted my sh
Jasmine Pov On the day of my 18th birthday, I was told by Alpha Ned to clean up the packhouse. He was giving his son Oliver the throne and was inviting the most powerful Alphas around the world to come and visit. I did as he asked and prepared a huge feast. This task left me incredibly busy for the whole day while also trying to ignore the insults thrown at me from the pack, and I was tired after it. When I came back to my hut, there was a note on my bed.There was a note. Jasmine, I knew they would work you to death. My mom had a dress made for you. Come over so we can get dressed together. SabrinaI hadn't even considered going to the celebration, but I know it's wolf law that every wolf in the pack must attend, no matter their rank. I grabbed some underclothes and ran over to Sabrina's house. "About time, you do know the party starts in about an hour, right," Sabrina asks me. "Sorry, I had to cook all of the dinners that they would eat. I just got back", I told her. She throw
Oliver PovToday was supposed to be one of the best days of my life. I received my alpha title with Tia by my side. I planned on making her the Luna of the back and her twin sister would be with my beta ever since he was rejected by a pack member. Why she would reject him, I never know. I was used to females throwing themselves on me for my power. I had it. They wanted advantages. There was only one girl who never cared about it. Jasmine! Ever since we were younger, I had a feeling she would be my mate. Ever since we were kids, I have seen males trying to talk to her and it pissed me off. I had always felt like she was mine. I'm an alpha. I don't share my shit. She was so beautiful and so full of life. I always hid my feelings by bullying her so she wouldn't suspect anything. Once she turned 13, I felt a pull on her even stronger. Imagine my disappointment to find out she had no wolf. She was a simple human. Oh hell no. " She is still perfect " my wolf, Shane, growls in my head, bu
Xavier Pov As the new alpha of the Red Valley Pack gets indicted, all I can think of is how I don't sense my mate here. When they invited me to join them, I only accepted in hopes of finding my queen. My luna. The one who will stay by my side as rule as my equal. The one give been looking for longer than I care to admit. I look around and all I see are weak Alphas and their mates. Some unmated she-wolves are eyeing me, and they make me sick as I check their eyes, seeing there is no mating bond. I can feel some people are intimidated by me. Once they catch me staring at them, they look away. I don't blame them. I know with my tall height, jet black hair, and my silver eyes that see into people; I can be intense. After all, I am the most powerful man here. I am the Alpha King throughout the entire USA. All the Alphas of the USA report to my team at the palace, who in turn report to me. I had been searching for each state and every pack for years now, in hopes of finding my mate. Runn
Jasmine Pov I woke up and got dressed for my normal packhouse duties. I know I would be cooking extra for the visitors that are here. Thankfully, no one was in the kitchen when I arrived. I looked at the time and realized it was still early. While I was preparing the mix for waffles, I felt the presence of someone coming in behind me. I kept my head focused on the meal I was preparing. They ended up coming beside me. "Do you need any help with that?" The voice said. It was a voice I had never heard before. I looked up to see the most handsome man I had ever laid eyes on. I mean, Oliver was no doubt gorgeous, but this man was unbelievably handsome. He was 2 feet taller than me, with sleek short hair and olive-toned features, but what most compelled me was his grey eyes. They were mesmerizing, and I could get lost in them forever. His muscles were big and bulky, but they fit him. He was so handsome. I could feel Lunar looking at him questionably, but I didn't pay any attention. He en
