THIRD PERSON POV"Who are you?", Nathan questioned the middle aged blonde woman who sat at the corner in a maid's cloth.The woman looked up in panic, fear visible in her eyes. "I.. I""Get her" Ryan ordered and a guard stormed inside and grabbed her by the arm, forcing her to stand up. He pushed her arms behind her and she shouted in pain. The guards ignored her and dragged her to where Nile and the Alphas stood before forcing her down on her knees. She went down with a loud thud and made a painful sound but they ignored it and glared at her with cold, dark eyes."I'll ask again, who are you?" Nathan spoke in a sharp tone, his voice edgy and dangerous.The woman looked up at the four men in front of her with glossy eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks as she trembled in fear."I.. I" The woman gulped trying to put her words together. "I..I am nobody, I did nothing, please believe me.""What are you doing here all alone? It doesn't look like you live here given the condition of the house" N
Jasmine's POV"Jasmine" I stood there in shock and disbelief. I blinked rapidly, was I imagining things?Was I dreaming?The triplets, they were here, they were standing in front of me. "Jas!" I heard a voice that snapped me out of my thoughts and brought me back to reality. I had not noticed Nile who stood beside Nathan. He ran and pulled me in a hug. I stood there frozen like a statue as he hugged me and mumbled about how worried he had been seen I'd been kidnapped and how happy he was that they had finally found me.I heard Nathan growl and Zachary pulled him off me, glaring at him. I took shakily breaths as I stared at the triplets, different emotions whirling inside me.I didn't know if I was happy or sad to see them. But I was angry and hurt, I remembered what had happened over a year ago, how they had thrown me out without a second thought. How I cried and begged, I remember their cold eyes.I stared at the triplet, taking their appearance in. They looked the same, didn't look
Jasmine's POVIt was nighttime already and unsafe for us to travel especially with little Asher. Maria offered to stay for dinner and ended up preparing more food, I of course helped her with it.Nile briefed me on what happened after I'd been kidnapped and how the triplets helped to find and rescue me. I bit my lip and was grateful for their help. I was also informed of how Ethan was behind the whole thing. What shocked me the most was the fact that Yuri was behind Luna's death and had framed me. "That's impossible!" I gasped out in disbelief. Yuri would never do that to me. She was my first and only friend in the eclipse pack. She had helped me and protected me from the rest of the slaves who tried to bully me. My confidante, she was the sister I never had. How could she have betrayed me?What had I done to her?"She confessed," Ethan said throwing a chunk of meat in his mouth. I knew cooking for the Alphas was a lot, but I would pay Maria later."She felt guilty, Ethan had manipu
Jasmine's POVI moaned and turned over, my body ached so badly. I let out a groan and stretched my arm wincing. It hurt. I pushed my eyes open, adjusting to the brightness of the environment."Good morning my pretty Luna" I heard a deep voice say and I turned to see Nathan watching me like I was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen. I blushed and tried to hide from him but he chuckled."What's there to hide, I have already seen all of it, love"I realized I was in his bed and naked. I remember what had happened last night, I was now the Luna and we had mated all night, wicked and wild. No wonder my body ached so much."Here's some pills, it should help with your sore muscles" Ryan appeared in front of me, holding a tray containing 4 pills and a glass of water. I sat up and took it from him, mumbling a thank you.They watched me take the drugs with satisfied looks on their faces. Zachary suddenly walked in, with a glass of what looked like wine in his hand. I frowned, I hardly eve
Jasmine’s POV"Yuri"My voice came out as sharp as a new blade. she was the last person I expected to see. I stared at her in anger, she looked thinner than before and visible bags under her eyes. She must have heard the news and must have been set free as a slave.I stared at her in disgust, how could she do this to me?Everything is been true, was because of her. It was all her fault. My fists were clenched in anger. "Jasmine" She called going on her knees. Her eyes were puffy and teary."What do you want Yuri?""P Please, I'm sorry Jasmine. I never meant to hurt you!" She cried, tears running down her cheeks. "Forgive me as mine. I..I regret everything I did. I am sorry"I sat there, my heart heavy with betrayal, Yuri’s desperate pleas echoed in my mind. It was as if her words were tearing through the walls I had built around my emotions, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed armor I wore to shield myself from the pain she had caused.Yuri knelt before me, her eyes brim
Jasmine's POV"Please forgive me!" The girl cried out loudly and I stared at her in surprise."Huh? Get up" I said to her, she was already causing a scene and people were already staring at us and gossiping. I didn't want them to get the wrong idea or think I was bullying her.And even worse, some of them might recognize me as the new Luna."I. I didn't mean to, I'm sorry" She said and I bit my lower lip, was she doing this on purpose?Was she purposely drawing attention to us?"It's fine, we both bumped into each other, it is both of our faults. Get up, you don't have to apologize. I am also sorry for bumping into you. I was distracted and didn't see you" I said to her and was surprised to see her already in tears, looking frightened like she was going to be punished for unknowingly bumping into me."N..no, it is all my fault, please forgive me"I wondered why she was reacting in such a way. Did she know I was the Luna? Was she scared of being punished by the Alphas?I stretched out
Jasmine’s POV"Who do you think you are!" The manager yelled at me."Your Luna!" They were all shocked by my answer. The manager had a look of fear on his face for a moment then he frowned and chuckled."That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. What would the Luna of the eclipse pack be doing with that thief and lowlife" He scowled at me and then turned to the security guards. "Get them!"I pulled the collar of my shirt down to show them the mark of the Luna on my neck and their eyes widened. They immediately went down on their knees. "Luna" the guards hollered. "Please forgive us"The manager looked like he had just seen a ghost. He refuses to believe his eyes. "T..that can't be true. T..the Luna"I looked at the guards and ordered them to leave and they scurried away, thanking me for sparing them and not reporting to the ruthless Alphas.The manager immediately went on his knees and bowed his head. "Please forgive me, Luna." He cried. "I. I did not know... please spare my life,
Jasmine's POV"Dad"I called in disbelief as I saw my dad standing at the entrance. I ran and threw myself in his arms. He was in the eclipse pack. How?When?So many questions flooded my mind but I hugged him. It had been a while since I had seen him. I hadn't seen Dad since I was kidnapped by the strange men sent by Ethan. I missed him so much. I had been so occupied with things happening around me, that I had forgotten to call him to tell him I was fine, he must have been so worried. I immediately felt guilty and pulled back. He stared at me with a displeased frown on his face and I gave a nervous laugh."Dad, you're here" I stepped back and he raised a brow at me."Do you know how worried I was?" He huffed."I know, I know, I'm sorry.""You didn't come home, not even a call. If it wasn't for Nile here, I wouldn't even have known if you were alive or dead" He said strictly and that was when I noticed Nile who stood behind him.He waved at me with a bright smile. "Hey, Jasmine!" H
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
