Jasmine's POV"Hold on!" I almost shouted at Yuri, who pulled me out of the cafe, running straight towards the ice cream shop. "Yuriiii slows down; the ice cream isn't running away!" I said to her, almost stumbling. She ignored me and pulled me, sprinting towards the ice cream shop that was built a few meters away from the cafe shop. "Yes." She heaved and stopped in front of the shop. I only glared at her, and she smiled innocently back at me. "You could've killed me!" I gritted, and she blinked. "But I didn't," Yuri said, wiggling her brows at me."Come on, we have to explore." She smacked her lip and pushed the glass door open. I was greeted by the cold breeze the air conditioner at the side threw at me. The shop was colder and much more colorful than the cafe. It was smaller compared to where we had chocolate milk and cookies, but it was decorated with lots of things; it made me feel like it was Christmas. The shop was primarily pink and white, with lots of ice cream and candy-lik
Jasmine's POV I tried my best, I swear I tried my best. But I couldn't help it, at the end of the day I was a helpless crying she wolf. I didn't want the tears to fall, but I couldn't hold it, I couldn't stop it from running down my face. "Am I not my own person!" I burst out, unable to keep it in any longer. The men looked shocked at my outburst, they had not expected it.They had probably expected me to remain docile and quietly listen to them scold me and treat me like a doll. I wasn't a doll, I was a person with feelings too. I wanted things, I had opinions too. Just because they were my mates and Alpha didn't mean I would be treated like their poppet, the thought made me burst in anger and tears. The car was silent after my outburst and Nathan reduced his pace and slowed down while I continuously wiped down the tears on my face, hoping it would stop and not make me look weak in front of Nathan and Zachary, but it didn't. I hated myself for looking so weak. I hated myself for be
Jasmine's POV Their reaction to the bracelets I got them made me smile. It was a sparkly silver bracelet with little designs on it. It was so beautiful. I wore and watched the triplets wear it on their right wrist.“Come on, let us go have dinner,” Nathan said, pulling me up from the bed. “Okay,” I said and let him lead me downstairs. Zachary said he wasn't hungry and had business to take care of, as usual, and we left him and his wine in the room. I was led to the big dining hall downstairs. It was where the triplets usually had meals when they didn't feel like eating alone or when they had important guests. The golden dinner table was massive and lengthy; I was sure it was built to take no less than 20 people. It had rows of chairs arranged, and Ryan pulled out one for me. He sat at the head of the table with me on his left and Nathan on his right, opposite me. Soon, the maids walked in with trays of food. My mouth watered at the sight. They looked and smelled delicious; it was li
Jasmine's POVI woke up the next day tired and excited. I looked around, and to my surprise, I was alone. The room was empty, and Ryan and his brothers were nowhere to be found. I saw a little note on the bed beside me and read it. It was written by Ryan.It said not to bother looking for him, as he and his brothers had gone out on a run. It was a birthday tradition. I looked messy and stood up from his bed, arranging it to not look messy.I stepped out in just his shirt and skipper and walked to my room. I received weird looks from everyone I came across. I frowned and wondered why. It was probably because I was in the Alpha's shirt.I pushed my door open and was surprised to see Yuri on my bed. I immediately felt guilty. I hadn't seen her since I was dragged out of the Ice cream shop by Nathan yesterday. “Hey!” She called and jumped off the bed. “Where have you been all day and night, too? I was worried,” Yuri said in a worried tone and felt even worse for making her so worried.“Yur
Jasmine's POV “-And we'd like to introduce our lovely mate and your soon-to-be Luna, Jasmine”I choked. I coughed several times, and a male servant rushed to my side to give me a glass of water. I quickly downed the water and returned the glass, thanking him.Had the triplets lost their minds?I stared at them on the stage a little far from where I was and saw Nathan smirking mischievously at the crowd. The whole hall soon turned noisy as everyone was shocked at the sudden announcement.“The Alphas have found a mate "“Her name is Jasmine”“I don't know anyone named Jasmine" “Is she from this pack?”“Is she a high-ranking wolf "Everyone started to murmur, and I sat there glued to my seat, no one noticed me or knew I was the Jasmine.“Jasmine, come up here sweetheart “Nathan's voice boomed across the hall and my heart began to beat, there was no way I was going to go up to that stage with this much people looking and waiting to see and find fault in me.“Who is this Jasmine "“Why w
Jasmine's POVI pulled him by the closer and kissed his back aggressively. His hand moved down from my waist to my bottom to pull me snugly towards him, and my heart hitched when Zachary's hand stayed. My toes started to curl, and I felt my head turn dizzy as we continued to kiss. I moved my lips against him, my hands unconsciously moved to place it on his chest before I glided them up to feel his hard chest against the tux shirt before my hands wound around his neck. We pulled back to catch our breath. “How bold of you” Zachary commented smugly. His eyes were intense and intimidating, but there was also something else in there, something dark and dangerous that lurked behind those red eyes of his.“Think you're ready?” My heart skipped abit. I couldn't deny what I felt for the triplets, I wanted them so bad. How my heart skipped anytime they stared at me, I had hopelessly fallen for them. “As ready as I'd ever be” I whispered to him, and he stood up, carrying me with him, and I wrap
Jasmine's POV I felt something touch my face, I groaned and turned on the bed. “Mmnh”, my eyes shut. I heard another sound, it sounded like a chuckle, my brows furrowed in annoyance.Why wouldn't they just shut up!My eyes were still closed and I felt sleepy. I was drifting back to sleep when I felt something touch the side of my neck, I jolted as I felt electric surge through me.My eyes snapped open, blinking before it came to settle on Nathan's face, who hovered around me. A pair of gray eyes stared unwaveringly into mine.I saw Nathan's lips broaden with a smile.“Good morning love. How was your sleep?” asked Nathan. I was taken aback and memories of what had happened the previous night flooded into my head. I had done it, with Zachary. I had mated and been marked. My hand flew to the side of my neck, I couldn't feel anything. It had been so painful last night, I couldn't stand it, I had passed out.Now it was morning. I stared at Nathan and sat up on the bed, drawing the sheets
Jasmine's POV“A honeymoon?” I said to the triplets. “But we're not married”“Let's just say a holiday on our private island, away from the pack and all its trouble” Ryan said to me. “That sounds nice" my eyes lit up.“We'll, go on and pack up. We leave in about two hours” Nathan said with a smile and my eyes widened.“Two hours?!” I exclaimed. It's so soon, I didn't expect them to want to go today!“You'd better hurry, or you'd be walking around naked on the island, not that I mind, " I blushed at Zachary's words and sprinted out of the room. Everyone bowed in respect when they saw me passing by. I felt overwhelmed and proud, they were all treating me with respect like I was already their Luna.Speaking of Luna, I had to check up on her. I walked towards her chambers and saw a familiar black-haired girl. Lola, I smirked when I saw her.Our eyes met and hers hardened. I could see the hatred evident in them. I raised my head up in pride, and she hesitantly bowed her head in respect. I
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
