Jasmine's POV I explained everything to Jasmine and told her all the old man had told me. How Alpha Maverick got rejected by Astrid, how he was related to the triplets, his attack on the blue crescent pack, his revenge and torture, and how Astrid had cursed his lineage out of pain and hatred.Zora had a look of surprise on her face when I was done telling my story. I kept quiet, allowing her to soak it all in."That" she blinked. "Is a lot"I nodded "Now you know why I'm not at rest and I'm worried""What are you going to do now? What is the plan? Find the blue crescent pack? And then what happens? How will the curse be broken then?" Zora threw all different kinds of questions at me."I don't know Zora, I don't know what we're going to do from here. I'm scared" I admitted my fears. "I. I had a terrible nightmare. Maverick.. he .. Asher" I shook my head not wanting to remember.Zora placed a hand on my shoulder gently and said with a gentle smile. "I understand Jasmine. I understan
Jasmine's POV"mmhn, where am I" My head ached and I pushed my eyes open but was blinded by the light. I closed them back and blinked slowly, trying to adjust to the light."What happened?" I mumbled."Jasmine love? You awake" I heard Ryan's voice and turned to see him kneeling beside me, concern etched on his face. "Are you alright? Does anywhere hurt?" I could hear the worry in his voice."N..no. my head.." my voice was low and croaked.Gradually, my surroundings came into focus, and I was on my bed, in my room and Nathan and Alvin stood discussing some things I couldn't hear while Ryan knelt beside me."Alvin, she's awake. She's saying something about her head hurting!" Ryan snapped the old man who trembled."I. I will get the drugs now Alpha" he left the room."What happened" I tried to sit up but Ryan wouldn't let me.He gave me a look that clearly said not to move."You passed out" he replied to me. "In Nathan's study"I was surprised, I fainted. How? What happened?"I told you
Jasmine's POV"You're not coming with us, Jasmine" I was shocked at his words, shocked and annoyed."What do you mean I'm not coming with you?" I snarled at the triplets."Look, we don't know how this will be. The pack is quite far away and we don't know how these people are. Considering what our great-grandfather did to their alpha and luna, I don't think they will be friendly. It might be dangerous, we don't want to take any risks" Nathan said but I wasn't having any of it."You're not serious about this," I said to them but they had a look on their faces that said they were damn serious."This is absurd!" I screamed at them. "I, I did everything, I went out of my way to find Cedric, I wanted a solution so desperately. We are this close to finding answers and breaking the curse and you're telling me to just sit here and wait?" I gasped in disbelief."You will stay here with Asher, you need to look after him. We won't be gone for too long, you have to understand-""Understand what!"
Jasmine's POVI sat on the balcony, with a cup of coffee in my hand in a free yellow strapless gown. It has been three days since we discovered the location of the Blue Crescent pack and made the decision to go there with Asher and the triplets.Turned out the pack was located deep in between two tall mountains. We would have to fly to the nearest city and drive from there. The week had been going peacefully with the triplets making preparations to travel to the Blue Crescent pack.A yawn escaped my lips, I was bored. An idea came to my mind as I checked the time. It was noon, I got off the chair and headed to the kitchen. I was going to make lunch for the triplets and Asher.As I stepped into the kitchen, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the scent of vanilla and cinnamon. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the countertops. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon."Luna" a kitchen maid rushed to me. "Is there anything you need?" She b
Jasmine's POVThe door was suddenly pushed open again and we turned our heads to see Zachary and Nathan standing there with an unreadable expression on their faces."What's going on here?" Zachary said, staring at Ryan and me like we'd suddenly grown horns.I gave a nervous laugh and got off the flour-covered ground. "Zachary, Nathan, what are you two doing here?" I said to them ignoring Zachary's questions."We'd been searching all over for you two. The servants told us you were in the kitchen, I was wondering what you two were up to but I certainly didn't expect this" Nathan folded his arms."Jasmine started it," Ryan said and I turned to him with a look of disbelief."No, I. I didn't start it. You did" I huffed."Really?" Zachary said in amusement."I was only trying to help her prepare lunch and she dumped flour all over me. I had to get back at her." Ryan said chuckling."It was a mistake!" I cried. "I didn't do it on purpose and it was only a little flour that poured on you""He
Jasmine's POVRyan left after making me cum two more times. I felt utterly exhausted, all my energy was gone. I lay on the bed, breathing heavily and staring at the ceiling as I gathered energy to get up and clean myself up. Every session with the triplets left me tired and out of strength totally, they were something.After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling naked in bed, I got up and got to shower, again! Thanks to Ryan.I looked at the sky from my room's balcony. The sun was setting already, it was way past lunchtime."Well, there goes my plan to make lunch for the family" I murmured. I decided to go check on Asher, I hadn't seen him all day.I walked to his nursery and he was there rolling on the ground with the red-haired little girl and they were both giggling. It seemed like she was always around him."Mama!" He called as soon as he noticed my presence and ran towards me. He has gotten sharper and smarter these past few days. I smiled as I watched him run into my arms."Ma
Jasmine's POV"I will miss you so much," Zora said hugging me. "Freda will miss you and Asher as well. Please stay safe and come back as soon as you can." She said her eyes welling up in tears."I'll miss you as well and as soon as we find a way to break the curse, we will come straight home," I said holding Asher."For now, you can enjoy your break or vacation. I'll take care of Asher" I smiled and Zora smiled back, holding Freda's little chubby hand."Say bye to Mama and Asher, Freda," Zora said in a baby tone to Freda who looked confused. The little girl probably didn't know what was going on."Mama," She said and I pinched her chubby cheeks warning a smile. She now called me Mama, mimicking Asher in everything she saw me."Bye Freda, don't miss us too much. We'll be back before you know it" I turned to Elios who stood by the door."Is everything ready?" I asked him."Everything is ready and has been set, Luna. Your ride has been prepared, your flight tickets have been booked and y
Jasmine's POV"That's them! They are the outsiders that came this afternoon!"What?"What is going on here? What is all of this supposed to mean? We paid for this suite, how dare you kick down the door and barge in without permission" Zachary snapped at them, his eyes glowing in anger. The man had a look of fright on his face as he dropped his hand and took two steps backward."Yuan" One of the men who had a scar running from his left eye down his face grabbed the receptionist man by the collar, lifting him with one hand."Are you sure it's them?" He growled at the man who was dangling in the air while I held Asher who had woken up and was crying in fear. I tried to get him to calm down and stop crying but even I wasn't calm. My heart was racing and beating non-stop.Who were these people?What did they want?Why did they suddenly kick down the door?Were we under attack? But by who? Who could've possibly sent them?"Yes..yes, it's them, Khan. I swear it's them. They came into my inn
Asher’s car came to a stop outside my home. My fingers twitched, clutching the fabric of my coat with more force than necessary. I could feel the weight of his gaze without having to look at him, though I knew it wasn't pity. No, it was something deeper, something that came with the understanding of a loss that wasn't his own.I opened the door with a force that startled me and I stepped out of the car. Asher walked me down to the doorstep and kissed me softly before I went in.I walked up to my room and everything felt still, yet somehow, there was a profound sense of absence, a void that seemed to wrap itself around me. Each step felt heavier than the last, and the gnawing sensation of guilt gnawed at me, refusing to let me find peace.Humphrey was gone. He was truly gone. He’d left with a quiet resignation that shattered me more deeply than any words could. I hadn’t fought hard enough for him to stay. Instead, I’d let him slip away, believing that it was for the best. But now, stan
I stood on the opposite side of the street, my gaze fixed on her as she lingered at the end of the sidewalk. When our eyes finally met, I saw the instant flicker of recognition ignite in hers, quickly followed by an emotional wave that surged through her, an intensity that struck me to my core. It was a look I had witnessed before, yet its power never ceased to leave me breathless.Her eyes locked onto mine, and in that split second, the weight of everything I had been avoiding came crashing down. Her body trembled as she stepped closer, her eyes shimmering with unspoken pain. She didn’t say anything, but her distress was obvious.I didn’t even think before I opened my arms, pulling her into my embrace. She fell against me, her sobs soaking into my shirt, but I didn’t mind. Her pain was like a raw wound, and I would have let it consume me if it meant giving her comfort."He’s leaving me," she whispered, her voice cracking under the weight of the sorrow that spilled out with the words.
CHARLOTTE'S POVI looked up from my phone, just as the cab pulled up at the pack house. “Thank you,” I said to the driver and got down with excitement coursing through my veins. I pressed the doorbell and only had to wait for a few minutes before a maid opened the door.She smiled warmly and ushered me in. “He's not around but you can wait for him in his room,” she says. “He will be back before you know it.”I returned the smile and made my way to Asher's room without any form of assistance. I pushed the door open and I'm immediately greeted by the sight of Asher's bed in a state of turmoil. I chuckled and walked in.Just like one would expect from a boy, Asher's room barely stays clean. I picked up a few shirts from his bed to make space for me and dropped them in his closet.I reclined on the soft bed as I scrolled through my phone. Just as I contemplated dialing Asher to inform him that I had arrived at the pack house, the door swung open, and he walked in. He looked disheveled, his
Asher's POV"Tyler, get your dick out of that bitch and get your ass to my house in 5 mins, we need to pay someone a visit!" I growled to the phone and hung up.Someone knocked on my door, and I mumbled for the person to enter. A blonde maid entered with a tray; I was a bit surprised, that was fast from the chef.The tray had a bowl containing some kind of soup in it. I watched her drop the tray on the table, and she bent in front of me, making her white lacy underwear visible. I knew what she was trying to do, so I pulled her by the skirt. She landed on my thigh and made a soft moan-like sound."Master Asher," she whispered seductively, and her eyes blinked in fake innocence. I stared at her for a moment, wondering if I should throw her on the bed and fuck the life out of her, but for some reason, I couldn't. Charlotte's sweet face appeared in my head, and I couldn't imagine touching some other girl that wasn't her. I was suddenly irritated by the girl in my arms, and I growled at h
Charlotte's POVTHE NEXT DAY "Mom, hurry, we have to leave," I yelled, and Mom came rushing down the stairs giggling."Calm down, will you? A lady has to take her time to dress," She said, and I rolled my eyes."That should be my line," I huffed at her, and she just smiled. We got out of the house and got into the cab that was waiting outside the door.I gave him the address of Mom's hospital, and we set off. On the way to the hospital, I texted Asher to make sure he was okay, and I was surprised when he informed me that he was going to be discharged today. Wasn't it too early?It's barely been three days since the accident and since he was rushed there. I sighed, thinking about how fast his injuries must have healed; he was the Alpha's son, after all, and was stronger than the bunch. The hospital probably only helped speed up his recovery and monitored him. Knowing Asher, I knew he was kind enough to nag and complain about everything, including not staying in the hospital for so lon
Asher's POV "That's all, Master Asher, you're healing so well and fast; it's very impressive!" The nurse said with a slight blush on her face."When do I get to leave here?" I asked her coldly, and she remained silent for a while before checking her note."Well, according to the hospital policies, you'll still have to stay for about a week until we are sure you're okay and fit to leave," She said, and I scoffed. A week? I was going to be couped up in this room for a week. "A week?" I hissed at her. "I'm healing just fine. I don't feel weak or tired; there's only a little scratch on my head that has stopped bleeding, and I will probably leave there by tomorrow. I don't need to stay here all couped up in this room for another week, all in the name of healing," I said, and she flinched at how harsh my tone was, not that I cared about her."W.. well, you can't leave, according to the hospital -""I am the son of the Alphas; I'm not just some regular patient here; you all should be grate
Asher's POV"Well?" I pressed, annoyed, and his face turned serious."It's Humphrey"I was taken aback. "Humphrey?" I mumbled, my eyes narrowing. Could it be.. the same Humphrey?I shook my head; no, it couldn't be. Why would he? How could he.. was he stupid?Being popular in school made everyone want me as their friend and boyfriend. And as many friends as the popularity brought me, it also gathered enemies for me.I knew there were some boys who didn't like me, with that idea that every girl around was fawning over me, and even their crushes and girlfriends shamelessly threw themselves at me.However, since I was not only popular but also came from an influential family, they didn't dare to face me. I was the only son and heir of the Alphas and Luna; I knew every parent wanted their children to be acquainted with the son of the Alphas.And even though they didn't like me, they would put on fake smiles around me and try to make me notice them, not just the boys, but the desperate gir
Charlotte's POV "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm here to inform you that the time is up. Our patient needs to rest," She said, and I mouthed an "oh." "I will be out now," I said, and she nodded and left. I turned to Asher and kissed his forehead. "I have to leave now; I'll be back tomorrow, promise, I said to him, and he smirked back at me. "You don't have to worry about me; I'll be fine," He said, trying to act strong, and I rolled my eyes at him. "I know," I said and got up; I waved at him and left the room. Sophie and Tyler were still sitting where I had left them. They were having a conversation, and Sophie had a little smile on her face. I frowned; although Tyler was close friends with Asher, I still didn't like or want him around me. He was my bully, and that would never change. From how he reacted at the dance night, I knew he wasn't too happy to learn Asher and I were together, not that I cared about what he liked and didn't. "Come on, Sophie, let's go," I said, and she
Charlotte's POVThe doctor, Bell, paused for a while, and then her expression softened, and she offered a small smile. "Asher is fine. He needs a few days to heal, but he is going to be okay," Doctor Bell announced, and everyone simultaneously let out a breath of relief.I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, and my heart swelled with gratitude. We had all been on edge, awaiting news of Asher's condition.And now, the doctor was out with a smile on her face and was assuring us that Asher would be fine and would recover quickly.Luna Jasmine gasped and ran to her husband, who hugged her back. He stroked her hair softly, and I heard him number something along the lines of, "I told you not to worry, Love. Doctor Bell is here, and she'll make sure Asher recovers quickly," He said, and Luna only nodded quietly.But then, the doctor dropped a bombshell. "Asher is now conscious, which is abnormal, given the severity of his injuries. However, as the Alpha's son, he's stronger than most."Luna
