Jasmine POV
“What the…” I heard Tyler grunt as his naked back came in contact with my cold skin, causing me to flinch. He muttered some inaudible things before letting out a soft sigh, and I released the breath I was holding. I spent last night soaking the pillows with tears and had little sleep as my hysteria was over the top because he had his arms around me throughout the night. Never had I shed so many tears in my life, but they just couldn't stop flowing and to top it all, in between my legs ached. “Hmm, I could get used to this” he whispered groggily before pulling my naked self closer to him and I felt my cheeks redden to my displeasure. Worry that had once clouded my thoughts dispersed into thin air as his grip tightened around my waist. “You had refused me yesterday but here you are, baby girl in my arms, I did say I was irresistible” he whispered, tracing kisses on my neck. “Emily baby, how….” I jerked away from him in shock and watched as his eyes widened upon using his butt to kiss the floor. “What the fuck!” He yelled, getting up almost immediately. I clutched the bloody sheets tight against my naked body. “What are you….” “YOU SLUT!” He yelled, as his eyes traced down the sheets, causing me to shiver in fright. The least I was expecting was a good morning kiss or a simple good morning would be fine after what he subjected me to last night… Instead, I was being slut-shamed even after last night. “Are you happy now?!” He mocked, storming over to where I stood frozen, shaking in fright as it hit me that he had no memory whatsoever of what happened last night. He was the one who made a mistake, but I was carrying the weight all alone, and now shame? “So this was your plan all along? Are you that shameless, Jasmine!” I opened my mouth to defend myself when he pushed me roughly against the wall. “You dared to drug your Alpha and even dare to wait until the next morning!” Drugs? What in heaven's name was he talking about? Frustration fuelled my anger, but I found myself shedding tears. “Do you think your womb is worthy to carry my cub!” “You shameless thing, get out, and God help you so that I don’t see you close to me today!” He threatened before throwing me outside with the bloody sheets. I sat down on the floor speechless, the tears flowed nonstop as his words hit me. What sought of bondage in the name of marriage have I been subjected to? He didn't acknowledge our bond, treated me like trash, and now he even forced himself on me…he just had to embarrass me to his content. I felt like laughing, and so I did amidst tears, I looked crazy…indeed I was as Tyler had stripped me of the self-respect I had. I could feel the eyes on me and without a care in the world, I burst into another round of tears. To make things worse, Tyler came out clothed in shorts and walked past me, making sure to step on the bloody sheets. Mutters began flying through the halls as he left. Currently, all I wanted was for death to come and take me away. This was a way just too much! I was sold to carry his child to regain my freedom, but it seems he had no plans whatsoever to even let me go! “Luna” I heard someone whisper, and I raised my head to see Tyler's beta staring at me with pity-filled eyes. “Let's get you to your room” he whispered, and I nodded weakly as I stood up my legs gave way for me causing me to collapse, but I felt his arms grab me before I could land on the floor. Throughout the afternoon, as I lay in bed, I could hear their whispers and mockery jeers. Some even dared to call me the names Tyler had used to insult me. I heard the door softly open, “You are awake Luna” Mark whispered, and I smiled to the extent he knew me. Slowly, I opened my eyes to meet his. “Don't” I immediately cut him off as he opened his mouth to talk. I knew what he wanted to say, and honestly, I would rather not hear it now. “You can't keep on living like this in the hope that he'd feel the bond, yesterday made it a year and if a year isn't enough for him, then how long would it be?” “So I should go where?” “I'd be damned to go back home, and you know it, I'm sure he does too, hence his reason for disregarding me” “Tyler wasn't… “Spare me that, why was I mated to him? Or even married off to him? Why me!” “For over three months you have been constantly ringing that I'd leave, but it's not like I have a choice!” “You do, and honestly, did you think he'd care if you'd leave? The life of a rogue is far much better than your title as his Luna”. “Have you lost all your self-respect? Can't you see you mean nothing to him” With that, he left me to my thoughts. What was I even thinking? Alpha Tyler was named the cruelest and youngest Alpha king in the whole East for a reason. This marriage of convenience was supposed to end the moment I gave him a child, yet he had never touched me until last night. I drowned in my thoughts as I contemplated leaving. “You seem to be on everyone's lips, Luna,” Emily mocked, making me aware of her presence. “You moved from being the invisible Luna to being a slut overnight” she added, causing me to wince. “I am not in your mood, Emily?” “I never knew you had it in you, I mean seducing his drunk and drugged self to get your trophy child” “Leave my room.” “For how long are you going to continue like this?” She jeered. “You do know he was with me last night, whatever he did with you was aroused by me, he panted for me last night” “Enough.” “He also said quite a lot about you, he called you desperate and foolish, forever thinking he'd let his seed sprout in you” “Enough” I warned as I could feel my temper flaring. “He said you were just the tool he had used to access the throne, he wanted me to carry his children, and trust me, I'm the one holding him back” Unable to hold myself back any longer, I stood up and dragged her towards the door before pushing her out of my room, gasps filled the passage and just as I was about to bang the door against her already sobbing figure, I was stopped. “How dare you.” “Tyler?” “It's Alpha to you, how dare you lay your filthy slutty hands on her.” And unexpectedly, I felt something heavy land on my face. Gasps rang out from every side while I clutched my cheeks in pain. “Tyler?” Before I could add any other word, he dragged Emily to where I stood and ordered her to deal with me. With a smirk, she landed another slap on my throbbing cheek, and unexpectedly she gave me another. “This should teach you a lesson and put you in your place” he angrily yelled before shutting the door against me. This was the push I needed. There was no hope for me and I knew it, he proved it to everyone. Tyler had broken the last straw on the camel's back, now I knew where I stood and for the sake of my sanity, I dared not stay here for another moment of embarrassment. Tears refused to drop this time around, I was filled with rage that threatened to consume me whole. This would be the last day he'd see my face ever again, I'd rather be subjected to the life of a rogue than this. I immediately brought out the divorce papers I had kept hidden for months and smiled. This was my parting gift. A year was enough to show me that Alpha Tyler was irredeemable.Alpha Tyler's POVOne thing I hated was not being in control and the only way I had maintained my position as an Alpha all these while was by feeding off the power, control gave me.Jasmine was making me lose all restraints in a blink of an eye and making me act out, which was very much unlike me.I did it successfully, pretended like she didn't exist, like she wasn’t my Luna, and I wasn’t seeing what they do to her for a year.The plan was to wear her out, but she seemed so strong until she played her master card last night.Waking up to see her blood and having no memory of what had happened triggered and angered me. For a second, I felt like I wasn’t in control and It turned on all the wrong emotions. Her silence and pretense gave her motives away a long time ago, but never had I imagined that she’d be this devious.It seemed as though a switch was pulled overnight, from seducing me shamelessly to bullying Emily, definitely in a jealous rage.I shut my thoughts as her soft voice h
Jasmine's POVIts 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 do
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
