Jasmine's POV
Its been two weeks since I left and, all I had done was play an amusing the game of hide and seek with Alpha Tyler's guards.Funny how insecure the borders of the pack were on the night I had fled and a few days later, I was being hunted as though I left with something important.
The willpower they were using to track me down was surprising and frustrating. It made my simple plan of running and settling in any pack I was accepted hard because I had to keep changing location constantly. To make things worse for me, I felt my body system change drastically, almost as though I had caught a fever alongside the way, but my determination not to return kept me going.A few times my curiosity got the most of me and I lingered around trying to get any information that would make me understand why he was after me.
There was no way he was in regret, rather I was sure he wanted me back so he could punish me for taking a leap of faith.
As the days passed, whatever illness I was down with made it difficult to be miles ahead of them, hereby putting me in danger a few times.
My wolf wanted him though, so many times she had tried so eagerly to make see reasons why he would want me back, but I am as certain I knew him enough, and I'll be damned to dare go back to his gilded cage.
I had come so far to go back. Although living as a rogue was tougher than I expected, it was nothing compared to my routine life at Tyler's pack. There were so many times, death had yelled my name, and I was so tempted to answer, but something desperately tugged me back. “Her scent lingers around this environment” I heard one of them say, causing me to hold my breath.So, fast? I was certain that I was safe hiding out here, and I had let my guard down. Their desperation made me more scared and eager to get far away from them.
“Let's camp at the other side of the river, she can't outrun us, and we'd be damned to return home without her” I heard the other guard say so confidently. “What’s more funny is how she thought she could outrun us, Did she really think Alpha Tyler let go of his properties easily?” I gritted my teeth as I was being referred to as his property, that was how they saw me all these while? I was a fool to even refer myself as his wife and Luna. To everyone, I was just his trophy, I scoffed at how stupid I must have looked then. My hands subtly located the masking oil I had carried along and as quietly as I could, I put it on. I needed to freshen up and rest because the masking oil wasn’t doing a good job in hiding my scent anymore, I’d be up before they were done resting, so I’d have enough time to be ahead. It's almost like my scent was way stronger than it ought to be. I stayed still until I was sure that the coast was clear before making a run for it. They were already asleep, and although I didn't need to run, I couldn't take chances with my life anymore, I ran as though my heels were on fire. The urge to vomit came once more as I settled in an open cave while trying to calm my ragged breath.My eyes shone as I stared at the nightlife. As tired as I was, I earned to be sure that I was not followed before letting my guard down.
Fatigue soon weighed me down, and I let down a yawn, the guards have been on my trial for three days straight, giving me no room for rest. I adjusted into a manageable position for rest, as there was nothing comfortable about laying in this rocky cave before shutting my eyes. If I wanted to be ahead of them, I needed rest, my tummy grumbled…. I required rest and food.Sleep came to me almost immediately, but not for long as a mild commotion woke me up.
Immediately, my eyes widened to see that my hiding place had been discovered by his guards.
Without thinking, my legs worked faster than my brain that was still in shock and fear.
“Don’t let that bitch out of your sight!” I heard them yell angrily, as though they hadn’t seen me race past them.
If I made it away from them, then I would be certain the goddess protection is upon me.
The fear of what I was going to face back home made me feel so pumped up, but I knew deep down that I was weak.
A girl could only dream of outrunning two angry and determined men.
“Why are you making this harder for yourself?” One of them taunted, sounding so close that my thumping heart leaped out in fear.
Harder for myself!
I wanted to scoff, but breathing was becoming difficult, and I could hear the sound of their heavy thudding boots behind me.
Fearfully, it turned to check how far away they were but their proximity made me lose my footing.
“Caught you!”
“No! No! No!” I cried out, struggling against their hold.
“Shut that bitch up!” I heard his partner whisper and I felt something pierce my neck, causing me to go limp.
Wolfsbane!
“Tie her up gently” I heard a man whisper a little too loudly for comfort, causing me to wince. “Alpha Tyler would be pleased to have his doll returned broken” the other mocked, and they burst into laughter. “Hello ma’am, we found her” I heard someone say on the phone, but the reply of the supposed woman was muffled.“But Alpha Tyler…”, I heard the woman shout and the man on the line muttered his reply too.
“She wants the Luna dead,” I heard the man who was just on call said before roughly grabbing me.
“What about Alpha Tyler? He said we should….”
“She’d handle him, there is a cliff not too far away, let’s get this over with before the others wake up” I was roughly pulled to my feet.
I felt the cold feel of ropes dancing on my wrist, but no matter how I fought against their hold, it almost seemed as though it could never be enough.
The fear of being bound hit me and flashbacks of that night with Tyler filled my head, causing tears of frustration to fill me up.I’d never be strong enough to fight. If I had known I would have let them catch up with me earlier on, if it wasn’t because of the kind of Alpha Tyler was I would have probably surrendered.
The times when his guards were starting to get closer to where I was hiding and I had cunningly escaped filled my mind, it was far much better than death.
Or was it?
I wondered what he would have done if he had laid his eyes on me.
“Please” I tried screaming out, but they laughed harder at my plight. I wondered what she had offered them for them to act so wickedly.
I was roughly dragged towards the cliff, admits their laughter and playful bickering.
“Any last prayer?”
The scent of sandalwood filled my nostrils, causing me to shiver in delight, “Mate!”
“Mate?” They asked before bursting into laughter.
"You must be delusional to think Alpha Tyler would come down himself in search for you" one of them mocked but I was certain this wasn't Tyler, this scent was different and more alluring.
“Goodbye Luna Jasmine” he mocked, and I shut my eyes in surrender and waited for death to take me.
Jasmine’s POVI felt the sun glaring on my face and I turned to my side painfully. “You are awake.” an unfamiliar voice said in the background. My eyes were still shut so I didn't know where I was. All I knew was that it was unfamiliar and it wasn't the pack that I just ran out from.“Where could this be? Could I have ran into another trap?” I asked myself in fear and suddenly remembered what I heard before I passed out.I could clearly hear someone calling me mate. It might have been a mistake though. I was already weak and losing my mind so I must have misheard it. I just left a toxic pack, mate and husband and the moon goddess will give me another mate immediately? That's not possible.I tried every means to convince myself that it wasn't but I was interrupted when my eyes was opened gently and a touch was shone inside my eyes.“You seem okay. Why don't you open your eyes and sit up now? You don't have to be scared. You are safe.” the female doctor to me softly but I didn't do it
Jasmine’s POV“I understand that you are confused right now but don't you think that it's quite appalling to talk to me in that manner?” Alex asked me and I looked down .I left my tongue slip and forgot that I was in his pack and not the other way around. “I am sorry about that. I was just shocked.” I apologized.“That’s fine. I won’t be rejecting you. You need to get that thought out of your head first.” He said to me and i clenched my fist on thr sheets on the bed tightly. The nurse looked at my hand but said nothing. She looked at me in pity and I hated that.“Leave us alone.” He said to the nurse at once when he noticed that she wasn’t making any move to leave us alone.She left and it was just us in the room. I looked everywhere but him and he sat on the chair beside my bed.“You are my mate.” He said to me softly this time around.“I am pregnant Alpha.” I said to him.“Call me Alex not Alpha.” He said to me.“Let’s leave that. Do you really want raise another man’s child? You m
Alex’s POV I let her be and went to the pack house to confirm if my suspiciouns were true. I wouldn't just let anyone into my pack like that. Even if she is my mate it not. The door to my office opened and my Beta walked inside. “Alpha you called for me” James said to me and I motioned for him to sit down and he did. “You must have heard by now that I brought a girl to the pack.” I said to him and he nodded with a smile. “It was foreign since you have not done that before but I trust you. Is there something you want to tell me?” he asked me. “That's my mate. She is my mate. After waiting for her for quite a long time, she was served to me in a platter of gold.” I said to him. “I wouldn't say that. She looked almost dead to me.” he said to me and I glared at him playfully. “You want to know if she is a spy or not right?” he asked me and I nodded. There was no need explaining everything to James. He was very quick to catch onto something. “She doesn't even want to be my mate.” I
Alex’s POV I turned around and saw Jasmine and I was surprised but didn't let it appear on my face. What was she doing out of bed right now? She was meant to be in the Pack hospital for an extra day so that she will checked properly. “What are you doing here?” I asked her ignoring her previous question. “I wasn't feeling very comfortable on the hospital bed and I am okay. There is nothing to check again. I'm sorry for barging into your office like this.” she said to me and I nodded. “It's fine. It wasn't closed anyways.” I told her and she nodded and came inside fully. “Are you sure you are okay? We can always go back to the pack hospital,” u said to her. “I am sure that I'm fine. I won't die yet don't worry. I have already been through hell to die just from this.” she told me and I chuckled. “But it's different now. You are pregnant Jasmine. You shouldn't let that thought leave your head. You are now three in one. It won't be easy that's why I am here.” I told her fans she look
Jasmine’s POVAlex took the paper from my hand and I could tell that it was something that affected him from the look he had on his face. I didn’t ask a question though. I didn’t want to get involved in anything deep.“Are you done?” He asked me once he noticed that I wasn’t eating anymore and I nodded.“I don’t have much appetite again. That will be all. Thank you for this.”“It’s my pleasure.” He smiled and then I cleared my throat as I was about to tell him something. I was sure that he was going to not agree but I will make sure that he does.“Do you want to say anything?” He asked me when I opened my mouth and then closed it back.“I want to work,” I said and he opened his mouth his shock. I felt his eyes go over to my flat tummy. My bump wasn’t showing her but I knew that he was going to use my pregnancy as an excuse.“But you can’t. You are not in any condition to stress yourself much.” He told me and I rolled my eyes.I wasn’t dying. I was just pregnant. What was the big deal
Jasmine’s POV“What are you doing?” I asked her after a while of listening to her conversation. She looked startled hit then completed herself.“What do you mean? It’s nothing. I was just talking to my friend.” Sheira said with a smile and I nodded slowly. I didn’t believe her though. It was obvious that it wasn’t her friend. Sounded like a boss or something.“Okay then. Come on in.” I opened the door wider and she walked in.“I didn’t plan on listening to your conversation. It just happened. Sorry about that.” I told her.“That’s fine. As long as you didn’t do it purposely.” She smiled and I nodded.“Do you want to take a tour around the pack? You have been indoors all day.” She asked.“I’m not so sure about that. Where exactly?” I asked her. I don’t want to meet any pack member who will look at me strangely or ask questions. Thankfully my bump wasn’t showing yet so I could get past the looks.“It won’t be a problem. They saw you with the Alpha so it’s pretty clear that you are his g
Emily’s POVAfter Jasmine left I thought that Tyler would be all good and we would go back to how we were. But it seemed like he was just getting worse. He kept getting angry at the little things.“Get the tray out of here!” he shouted at another Omega who was the third one that I told to go serve him food. He has been in and out of his office trying to track Jasmine down.“Can you just stop all of this nonsense right now?” I asked him and stood up from the chair in his office. I thought that in a matter of time, he would realize that her being gone was a good thing but he was losing his mind.I was in his office all day and he hasn't spoken to me. He ignored me and kept typing on his computer. His Beta has also tried to get him to do some pack work and leave Jasmine but he wouldn't budge.“Tyler!” I raised my voice and grabbed the laptop from his table in anger.He looked up and the look he gave me made me shiver. It was so cold and that was the same look he usually gave Jasmine. How
Jasmine’s POV“What did you just say?” I asked Anita and she had a smirk on her face.“I’m sure that you heard me clearly. You just be hung up on Alex. He is mine by the way so back off. I am the Luna if this pack also so I don't understand why you are still looking at me in the eye.” she laughed and I only looked at her.I was used to her type. Being delusional and claiming on people that don't want you. Inwasnt sure about that yet.“Oh really?”“Yes.” she said proudly and I sensed a powerful aura suddenly. Anita didn’t seem to notice it yet so I kept quiet.Alex walked down the hallway and I saw that he has a deep frown on his face. What it because of me? I don't recall doing anything wrong.Anita’s hand was suddenly pulled backwards and she gasped before smiling when she saw Alex’s face. I just kept looking at them with no words.“What are you doing here?” he asked her.“What do you mean Alex? This is my pack also.” she laughed and rubbed her hand down his chest. He glanced at me a
