Jasmine.
As I had thought yesterday, right now I was staring at King Lucien sitting a few feet away with as always a file in his hand. There were occasions when the file would be replaced by a newspaper or a book and sometimes even a magazine but most of the time it would be any file or document or anything related to his work. Well, of course being powerful didn't give them the allowance to skip all of their duties as Kings in fact the only thing it had done was to increase it.But I had to admit, he looked so good even though all of his attention was on the task, he was writing down something or maybe something related to the blood collections. His hair lightly fell on his face and his eyes remained fixated on the paper, the sleeves of his white shirt were folded up to the middle of his hand whilst he bobbed his left leg up and down covered in the black ripped jeans.Damn it! Vampire males were a thousand percent more attractive than humans.Sighing I rested my head against the wall, my arms bent forward to hug my knees. I was watching him for probably close to half an hour and now painting him was not going to be big of a deal. But surprisingly none of the other two Kings were here.Maybe they were out for checking the city."You can read a book or two if you want to, it might keep you entertained, " King Lucien who hadn't spoken a word till the past hour decided to speak. I was taken aback by his small gesture, I wasn't expecting him to think about me."No, it's okay," I spoke, "I'm fine,"I saw him shrug before he returned his focus back to his prior task, and unexpectedly his focus lasted only a few minutes before he heaved out a sigh and leaned onto the chair. His hand holding the own released its hold on it and moved to rub behind his neck.He looked....stressed.I quietly observed as he pushed his chair till it hit the wall and moved his long legs to rest on the desk, his eyes closed and a low huff slipped past his lips. He looked in unease."Stressed?" the word left my mouth without even giving me a chance to stop it.Well, of course, I wasn't expecting to have a casual conversation with a Vampire who supposedly held beyond power over me and many more powerful creatures around the world. But before I could fully regret my decision his reply came."Yeah, these royal duties can be pretty tiring sometimes," He sighed, there was a crease between his eyebrows as he spoke, his eyes were closed and he uncomfortably shifted in his seat.I ignored the mere surprise that glimmered due to his response."I can help you relax...if you want,"This time his eyes fluttered open, soon as his eyes met mine I found the familiar chilling feeling traveling down my body but leaving warmth all over.I thanked God at this moment that I had learned the art of keeping my thoughts low enough to escape their superhearing ability.He cocked an eyebrow at me, "You mean a massage?" he'd gotten the message correct."Yeah I mean if you're okay with it," I said."You know how to massage?""Uh-huh," I nodded, "I have learned it over the years.""Come here, then," He beckoned, his eyes held their gaze on me but the darkening didn't recede and if only it did something was to make it look more apparent. I could feel dryness taking over my throat but I made my way toward his desk.His gaze followed my every movement and ceased as I stopped beside his desk."You need to sit properly," I mustered."Oh," He nodded and moved his legs from the desk before he brought the chair close to its prior position, which allowed me some space to slide in. I stood behind his chair and the fact that his gaze was not on me somehow relieved me."Do I need to open the shirt?" His question bought the pink tint to my cheeks for some reason even I was unaware of."I guess You have stiffness around your neck and shoulder, right?" I questioned to which he nodded glancing back at me, my breathing got caught in my throat."Only a few buttons would be fine," I informed, putting every drop of my courage to not let out my voice come as shaky."Sure thing," He obliged, his nimble fingers unbuttoned the first four buttons in a blink, "Now?""You can slightly lean against the backrest, and relax,"Without another word, he did what he was told.Inhaling a deep breath I let my fingers push the collar of his shirt and creep their way through the bare skin of his neck, his cool skin triggered the goosebumps to rake my body but why the hair on his arms stand up remained a mystery.I slowly created small circling patterns on the back of his neck putting a little bit of pressure once, at a time, I saw him closing his eyes and a small sigh leaving his mouth. He even craned his neck to give me better access, and this caused a smile to form on my lips.I carefully moved my hands toward his shoulder, trying hard to avoid the sensations the contact with his skin was creating. I could partially feel his muscles and had to refrain from going further down and feel the muscles of his chest also."Does it hurt?" I questioned as I moved to press down a particular spot between his shoulder and neck."No," His response came almost instantly."Okay," I continued my motions, my skin soon adjusted with the cool temperature of his skin."Jasmine?"My name rolled on his tongue like silk, this was the first time I heard my name coming from his mouth and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want to hear it again and again."Y-yes, your Majesty," Damn it my stutter.I noticed him letting out a quiet huff at my sentence before he spoke, "You've already forgotten that we don't prefer to be called by that by you,"By me? Noted!"Oh, I'm sorry," I meekly replied continuing messaging his shoulders again, his body began relaxing again."Why don't you just stand in front of me and do it?"My whole face turned red, the position would be too...Close. And I didn't know what to say at that moment, I remained glued to my spot for a couple of minutes debating with my decision.Do it, Jasmine. It's your job.I withdrew my hand from his skin and stood beside him, "Where do you want me to do it from?" I questioned."Stand here," He moved his chair slightly backward and created some space between his chair and the desk which turned out to be enough for me as I stood there.His intent gaze was back on me, but I pretended not to be affected by it but when he moved closer closing the small amount of distance my heart took a pace. I felt my heart thundering against my chest as I realized that I was basically standing between his thighs which was almost brushing my body. Almost.In this position, the only thing that made me feel a little confidence was that I didn't look as small compared to what I would've looked if he was standing."Go ahead," He urged and I nodded, this time he didn't lean against the backrest. He stayed in his sitting position that made it possible to smell his cologne.I moved my hands toward his shoulder feeling hesitant to slip my hands directly under his shirt whilst he was just watching my every movement."Why are you shaking?" He looked into my eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched upwards so slightly that it was even hard to notice at first glance."No, I'm just...a little cold," I lied, but judging by his expression I knew he didn't lie and the appearance of the small smirk made it more evident that he exactly knew the effects his closeness showered upon me."Oh," He nonetheless responded and continued staring at me.I averted my gaze from his face, meanwhile. And focused on the pressure points I was massaging on, it was the best way to not feel any more flustered than I already was. I sensed him deeply inhaling whenever I leaned it to reach a spot behind his neck or his shoulder.I continued my movements but then the door of the library opened with a loud thud. I flinched in my spot and almost fell on King Lucien but my arms on my shoulder gave me some support to keep standing."I can't fucking understand," King Micheal's shout buzzed against my ear, "We looked everywhere, inspected every little detail yet there is no information about her or her identity not even where she's from. How could she be a human when we can sense the matebo....." He stopped once my gaze met his one, there was a file in his hand, and before I could get a glimpse of something written on it he moved it behind his back.Who was he even talking about?His agitated expression that he had on his face melted in seconds and the anger in his eyes vanished. But then his stare moved towards my hands that were still inside King Lucien's shirt and the familiar glint shimmered in eyes before an identical smirk spread across his lips.I quickly withdrew my hands from where they were and pressed myself against the desk as much as possible to create some sort of distance between us, and the blush took over within a blink.Both brothers exchanged a look before King Lucien spoke, "Sweetheart, you can leave now. We'll get you called if we need you for any work," I nodded and hurriedly walked out of the room, I was thankful to him for excusing me.The blush didn't fade even the slightest bit. How inappropriate it might've looked?! God! Save me!As I made my way towards my room, King Lucien's one particular word rang in my ears.Sweetheart! King Lucien, the usual harsh and least interactive King just called me by this nickname and not to mention, in front of King Micheal whose gaze surely said something else too.I needed a nap. Yes. I needed it.Third person's P.O.V"How can you be so careless, Micheal?" Lucien yelled, "She could've suspect us,"Michaels brows knitted together as he stared at his brother, "Oh you better not start that shit," he spat, "How could I've known that my dear brother would be messing with our mate whilst we work hard to the information about her,""Talk quietly," Lucien spoke, his eyes sending a glare in Micheal's direction to which the middle triplet rose one of his eyebrows. Definitely, his elder brother's words were not affecting him. After all, the conversation was about the girl who has been giving them every single of the supposedly existing mate bond but in vampires' history, it wasn't possible for a human to turn out to be such a dangerous predator's mate. Especially when it was not one but three. But since the first day, the symptoms they were getting were pretty much indicating the truth they weren't aware of."And another thing I wasn't messing with her," Lucien cleared his throat," She w
Jasmine.The morning came quicker than I had expected, the sun peeked through the clouds and the rays managed to creep their way through the small gap of the curtain. The weather seemed colder than before, and the temperature was even lower than other days.Definitely, winter was closer. I removed the duvet off my body and stood up, the tiredness of my body seemed to vanish soon as I had taken a few steps. I completed my shower and brushed my teeth removing any trace of the unpleasant morning breath.As I was done drying my hair, a knock on the door was what interrupted the silence in my room. I reached for the door and opened it.A maid stood in front of the room."King Micheal has called you to his room," her eyes filled with jealousy for something I couldn't decipher."He needs his breakfast?" I questioned."No, The Kings have already taken their breakfast," She said."Then Why?" I questioned out of curiosity."I don't know, you should check that by yourself," With that curt reply
Jasmine.It was the night. Surrounded by cold and calming winds.The few days had gone in a blink, not that I found myself complaining about it. Although the palace was busy with the work for the festival. I was very familiar with this festival, it was kind of a vampire thing. The full moon festival held great importance in the vampire criteria.They were supposed to recognize their mates if they are around, although most of the vampires find their mate in the same clan or kingdom but sometimes for some vampires it turns out to be different.I didn't know why I was constantly thinking about why the kings hadn't found their mate yet. Since they were fraternal triplets they were probably going to have one mate.Lucky girl whoever it's going to be.Sighing I walked out of the room, it was very late at night but sleep was no way near me. Since King took the liberty to permit me to use the library whenever I wanted, I didn't hesitate to make up my mind to get a book for myself.Although pa
Jasmine.I meekly made my way towards their room. Today the place was filled with vampires and royals. Beautiful women were everywhere. The overly perfumed women were also there. It could be told without another thought that the festival was going to be huge.As told by King Archer, I was walking towards their room to help them get ready. It was kinda weird to consider that such grown-up men would need help but judging by the royal habits, they were probably used to not doing such little works on their own.The guard opened the door and let me in.I sensed the three vampires' presence instantly as I entered the room.I raised my head to look at them, their beautifully sculpted faces were already distracting. And not when they all looked freshly showered. King Micheal was the only one who looked a little tidy than the other two--His hair was dried and he was fixing his shirt. "Oh, so you are here," King Archer's voice broke my chain of thoughts."Yes, your Maje..." Before I could fini
Jasmine.The moon hadn't shown up yet, neither had the ceremony ended. Everything around me was hushed with silence and the distant view of what I could notice was the crowd of the festival, a crowd of vampires. I could even notice the human slaves who were put to work. Usually, there weren't any rules for keeping slaves but the humans who sometimes take a loan from the vampires and fail to give it back get under the category of a slave. Those who violate the rules of the kingdom are also made slaves due to their deeds.I sighed and pulled the curtains to the window.I picked up my bucket of paintbrushes and paint and the Caves clipped to the board before I headed out of the room. The palace was nearly empty, many of the maids were busy greeting the vampires and serving them. So this side of the palace now seemed to have a most peaceful environment for my painting.A door led to a balcony from where the faint light was creeping through, I made my way towards the balcony. It faced the
Jasmine.I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, the softness of the bed was new, the different scents roaming around the room were more unusual than what I was used to waking up to, the feeling of someone beside me was too unexpected.My eyes fluttered open and the decorated white ceiling was the first thing my eyes saw, I shot up to sit straight without acknowledging King Archer's presence beside me and the other two devilishly handsome vampires who stood in front of the bed."Where the fuck am I? Did someone kidnap me?" I muttered, my mind too messed up to even recognize that this was their room I had even come to the day before today. I heard a manly chuckle from the side and this was made me look at the Vampire sitting right beside me.His fangs peek through and for some absurd nonetheless reasons, I found it endearing.Gasping I stood up from the bed, hurriedly smoothing out my dress. What the hell I'm going in their room?The shout in my mind surely reached their ears and I felt
Jasmine."Archer? Is it ordinary for Vampires to have a human as a mate?" I questioned. After their multiple remarks, I had finally grown used to calling by their names a few hours ago. It seemed awkward at the starting but now it was completely normal than I had thought it would be.Lucien and Micheal were gone for some royal duties they'd to perform and Archer decided to stay with me so that I wouldn't get bored."No, as far as we know this hasn't happened before. Because if you think of the mating process, the venom in Vampire's blood needs to be injected into his mate's body and it can turn fatal for humans," He explained, his hand absent-mindedly drawing circles on the side of my waist, "So, for now all we know that it is rare to have a human being." "So, you all can't complete the mating process with me?" I don't know why there was a weird pull at my chest. It was strange, I was a human and I didn't understand the importance of the mate bond yet it made the weird knot form in t
JasmineThe kitchen was where I found Martha after searching her almost entire palace. She was cutting veggies with some other maids."Hey, Martha," I walked towards her. She glanced at me, a smile forming on her lips as she did."Where were you the whole day, Miss Jasmine?" She chuckled and turned back now fully facing me."Umm...I was.." I hesitated, "Forget it, I have something to tell you.""What?" She questioned."I-I...Um, yesterday...I-I..."Like a moron, I was, my stammering was the only thing that came out of my mouth, well of course the few words didn't make any sense."Do you have a fever, sweetheart?" She came and placed her hand on my forehead, checking my supposedly normal temperature."No, I don't." I quickly spluttered, "It's just that, I need to...to tell you something.""What is it? And why do you look nervous?" Concern laced her voice, "Did something happen?""No," I instantly shook my head."Then, what is it?"She asked.I glanced at the maids beside her, the kitchen
JasmineLucien zipped up my dress from the back, and Archer was busy admiring me and sometimes either tucking a piece of my hair strand behind my ear or sometimes simply just caressing my face.Micheal stood beside me and silently watched me or I could say was sneaking inside my head. Today was the crowning ceremony or if I said it the way my mates addressed it, 'The start of a new journey.' I was nervous, in fact, it would be an understatement to say it this way.The feeling I was going through could not be described in words. This was not only a ceremony or an announcement for me, there were going to be a lot of responsibilities that were going to come with it.Even though everyone fully believed me, I still couldn't stop worrying. This was a big day for me, and the journey ahead was going to be full of ups and downs but that was not what I was afraid of; The only thing that scared me was that I did not want to disappoint my mates, I feared that I was going to fail to meet their e
JasmineIt was really to see their relationship with their father gradually improving. Over the past few days, the progress I have seen was great. Over the past few days, I have seen them happier than ever and I don't think there was and could be anything else that can make me happier than watching them smiling.Currently, I was sipping on a glass of blood and watching them and dad play chess.Of course, the three of them had ganged up against him yet they were clearly losing the game."You all are so bad at chess," I couldn't hold onto my laughter anymore, "What a shame!""You are supposed to be at our side," Archer spoke in disbelief, the expression of my other two mates was the same."Who told you I am at your side? I have been rooting for dad from the start." I flashed them a smug smile and watched their scowls go deeper."You see boys, you have got no one supporting you with these bad chess skills of yours," Dad smirked, he was enjoying this game more than his sons were.Of cours
JasmineFor a moment before I opened my eyes, everything had gone completely dark, and in the darkness, there were those memories of me and Martha living in different countries for over a century remained there; How she constantly erased my memory after we'd left a place and moved to another was also there. And there were also these remembrances where she took care of me and kept me safe.All the memories struck me at once like a storm and my eyes opened on their own, meeting with the harsh light of the morning sun.My body shot to sit up, my heart beat like a drum, and the cold sweat covered my entire body. I did not notice my surrounding or my mates who were just beside me nor did I notice my extended nails and fangs.I was in a complete perplexing mess for a moment, a haze and the overwhelming feeling of getting myself back— Getting my identity back. But at the same time, I could feel this intense pressure of grief and sorrow. The loss I never got the chance to mourn for, the loss
JasmineThe hidden memories of the past I had been wanting to discover for so long, all struck me at once-- Speeding like a gigantic tsunami and shattering me apart in a second.Now, I did not want to remember those events again; The fear of going through the same pain shook me to my soul. But I was in that same dimension all again— That very same cursed night, in the middle of the agonizing screams of the people of my kingdom, the sight of the place I called home getting destroyed by the gargantuan flames of fire.I watched the scenery of the garden getting crashed by the fire, from far away I could see the sight of those dangerous heartless rogues who were killing everyone, neither did they show mercy to the vampires nor did they show to the human. Even the children were forced to face the wrath of those monsters.My heart stopped, I did not know how I could breathe. The fear that this might be the end of everything left my soul shaken, my heart aching and with all these happening I
Third Person's P.O.V"What?! Jasmine is Lord Fredrick's Daughter?" Micheal's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe what he was nearing nor anyone else in the room could.It was so sudden that it left everyone in disbelief and somehow in denial."Yes, she is," Martha said, "She is the princess of the Vaidel dynasty whom none had ever seen, the only daughter of Lord Fredrick and Queen Katherine— Jasmine Doloris Winchester. ""What the hell are you talking about? The princess was found dead beside Queen Katherine's body." Elijah decided to speak. "The girl found beside Queen Katherine's body was not her daughter," Martha let out, "That night of the attack, Queen Katherine and lord Fredrick were the main targets of those rouges after they'd killed everybody. Saving Jasmine was impossible but her parents saved her with their great sacrifice, That was who was found beside queen Katherine was an already dead girl whom queen Katherine intentionally took in her arms and ran to distract t
Third Person's P.O.VAfter an hour-long healing process, Jasmine's wounds were no longer there.The sight of Jasmine's wounds finally disappearing provided some sort of comfort to her mates although their hearts were still aching for her. The pain wouldn't go away until they get to see the smile of Jasmine's again.Steve in his hands had the large syringe filled with Elijah's blood waiting for the healing rays to fully vanish.The room was fully dark and it was kept that way for the entire transformation to happen smoothly. Only one torch was there in the middle of the room that provided a mere amount of lightning helping to keep Jasmine's figure visible to everyone in the room.Steve walked closer to Jasmine, he silently chanted the spells. Unlike Pierson, his eyes had turned black— Completely black to even differentiate his eyes and the tenacious darkness lurking inside the room.Black smoke began to emerge in gusts from the dark corners of the four walls, a hazy wind began blowing
Third Person's P.O.V.Helena's eyes widened watching Jasmine's condition. Not a single word left her mouth, she was shocked as she looked at the most unexpected tragedy she had ever thought she'd have to face.None had ever thought Jasmine would do something like this after knowing how deadly a Vampire's mark was for a human. Elijah couldn't get himself to believe what he was seeing right now. It was one of the very few things he had feared but he had never even imagined that he would have to see Jasmine like this. Surely he did not like Jasmine at first but now as he finally wanted to accept her as his sons' mate, it pained him that the girl who loved his sons selflessly was now gone...But among all these emotions, Elijah also had to face the guilt— For all those degrading things he have said to Jasmine and for all his insulting remarks.But how could he even Apologise? Jasmine was no longer alive.Lucien, Micheal, and Archer were silently looking at their mate, their tears did not
Third person's P.O.VBreaking away from the chains of the intractable effects of the blood moon, the vampires finally came back to their senses but it was too late.They'd already damaged Jasmine more than anyone could ever imagine.Their eyes widened in horror and their hearts stopped beating for a second when they looked down at Jasmine.They couldn't believe what they did to her, how badly they hurt her that there was not even an inch on her skin left that was not covered in marks or cuts they unknowingly gave him.The overwhelming guilt attacked them like a giant wave swashing and hitting the shore with all of its force, they were clueless and most importantly shocked. They couldn't understand why Jasmine did it, why did she even come to this room in the first place."Jasmine, open your eyes..." Micheal patted Jasmine's cheek trying to wake her up, his focus has drifted so much that he did even get the moment to notice that her entire body had gone blue....because of their venom.
JasmineFrom the very moment I stepped into this room, I was aware that whatever I was going to face in this room was not going to be unpredictable, and most importantly I was going to get to the sides of my mates I was used to.And as my dress was thrown away by Micheal and instantly his hand came to cup my breast over my thin bra, I had to stop my pained hiss from tearing through my mouth by biting down my bottom lip.They were not going to be gentle today, nor I had expected them to be when they did not have any control over themselves and going through the terrific effects of the moon that were harsher than anyone could ever imagine.Archer pressed his nose against my skin, tracing it from my shoulder to my neck as he deeply inhaled my scent and his grip on my waist tightened as each second passed.Lucien grabbed my jaw tilting my face to lock me under the gaze of his sparring eyes, and then he slowly traced his sharp nail from my shoulder and stopped at my hip.And then he cut th
