Dear readers, this is a slow-burn book and I don’t really want to rush into the write ups or I might mess the characters up. I need all the love and support I can get so I could feel encouraged to write more chapters🥲 Also tell me what you think of Ryland and Caroline/Jasmine.
Jasmine watched as the enforcers trained. Standing in their formation with their partners. They were fighting each other, practicing their techniques and learning from the other.She admired their form. They were all shirtless. The muscles in their back contorted with each lunge, each step, every exertion of their strength. A satisfactory smile played on her lips.She was about to look away when she saw a particularly large figure on the periphery. Just the one person she didn't want to see around her. Ryland. He was taller, broader, stronger, angrier than the rest.She could see the sweat trail down his cheek bones and the contour of his back. Her fist clenched. Sure he looked good, but that was the least thing on her mind. She rolled her eyes when his dark hostile eyes met hers. She turned away not wanting to stand his presence. “Have you eaten?”She jumped in fear, placing her hands over her heart as she looked towards him. How did he just appear here?“I-I was about to.” she sai
I opened my eyes when I didn't feel any touch. I heard grunts and kicking coming from the other end. I ran towards Danielle to help her.She was bleeding so badly and she seemed to have passed out. Fear creeped up my body.“Please Danielle,” I whispered. Tears flowing down my eyes. “Ryland-” I wasn't sure why I had mentioned his name but I did. In the blink of an eye, I heard a loud growl coming towards me. I turned to see who it was. Just the exact person my soul yearned for, he looked really angry, his dark eyes were fiery now.“Please Ryland, save her.” I muttered. “Kai, take them home safely.” his voice stoic and filled with rage.He headed towards where the fights were coming from. Kai picked Danielle up in his arms and helped me stand up.My hands and clothes were stained with blood and dirt. I limped towards the car parked right in front of the woods.I was trembling, my mind was messy at the moment.“Will she be okay?” I stuttered.“Just a mild concussion. The doctor is o
Jasmine had cleaned up herself after the mess she had done with Ryland. Jasmine burst into the room, her eyes shining with relief as she took in the scene before her. Danielle, freshly bathed and dressed, sat up on Kai's bed, her face aglow with a warm smile. Kai sat beside her, feeding her and chatting away, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he laughed. Jasmine's heart swelled with joy as she rushed to her friend's side. "Danielle!" she exclaimed, embracing her tightly. "I was frantic with worry! Don't ever scare me like that again!"Danielle's laughter filled the room as she hugged Jasmine back. "I wouldn't dream of it, Jas! Thanks to Alpha Ryland and Kai, who fought like lions to save us."Jasmine's gaze flicked to Kai, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took in the tender way he was caring for Danielle. A questioning look crossed her face, and she raised an eyebrow.Kai was at the scene but he didn't fight. Someone else was there, the person had protected her. She didn't get
Ryland gently placed Jasmine on the soft velvet bed, her eyes never leaving his face. He gave her a slow peck on her chin. He then turned to leave, and she sat up, her hand reaching out to stop him. "Don't go," she said, her voice soft and vulnerable.Ryland's smirk was devastatingly charming as he turned back to her. "I'm just going to take a shower," he said, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Care to join me?"Jasmine's face flushed a deep crimson as she shook her head, her eyes dropping to the bed. Ryland chuckled, the sound low and husky, and Jasmine's blush deepened.As Ryland moved towards the bathroom, Jasmine's gaze followed him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Ryland, what's wrong with you?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.Ryland's expression faltered for a moment, his eyes clouding over. But he quickly masked it with a neutral expression. "I'm fine, Jasmine," he said, his voice firm but gentle. “What aren’t you telling me?”"Nothing that you need to know. I will tell
He slammed his lips on hers. The heat between them intensifies making the cold water which poured out from the showers a bit warmer.Ryland’s lips trailed to her nape, making her let out a gasp.“Ryland-” she whispers, but his sucking and nibbling on her skin cuts her words short, making Jasmine lose her mind entirely.Her hands unconsciously held on to his chest, she could feel her knees weaken.Ryland breaks the kiss were both gasping for air. His eyes glimmered in need. “Jasmine, touch it.” he uttered, his voice huskier than ever before. His skin was starting to glisten with sweat. His need intensified. “Come.”He held her hands and led it down and then in a second, Jasmine’s hand was cupping it.Jasmine was dazed, her palms were so little that they couldn't wrap his entire member. She was about to pull her hands back but Ryland held them captive.He held her gaze, peering into her eyes to get an idea of her reaction. A sly smirk played on his face. He kissed her lips again.“Move
Kai walked into Ryland’s study, his footsteps loud as he stepped on the woody ground. The room was quite dim as the curtains were all shut. He could see Ryland’s manly stature sitting right on his seat with his head leaned backward.Kai contemplated on what to say to him. Maybe he should tell Ryland what he just learned about, but he wasn’t quite sure. “Did you get any questions from him?” Ryland asked, his voice low but husky.Kai breathed in deeply before saying, “No he refused to say, he just kept laughing like a maniac.” He didn’t have the guts to tell Ryland the whole truth. He was scared that he might put his life in danger to save Jasmine instead. Perhaps if he separated them both nobody would die.Ryland straightened up on his seat, his icy gaze met that of Kai but Kai swiftly shifted his gaze. Though the room was dark, Ryland could see Kai clearly, his every movement thanks to his vampire features.“Kai,” he paused, then continued, “maybe I would be saved.”“What are the od
He pauses as he gazes into her blue eyes, his hand rubbing her blonde hair.“Jasmine, I always prayed for death till I met you. Now I see a reason to live and I have to live.”“What if something happens to you? Please don’t go.” She said softly. Her eyes filled with fear. Rylands chuckles dryly, “I can’t die Jasmine. I’ll be back, and when I return I’ll make you my luna. No excuses this time.” He smiled and pinched the tip of her nose softly. Jasmine knew she couldn’t hold him back; she would have to pray he came back safely. “Ryland, please address me as little rabbit.” Ryland was taken aback then a smile crept on his face. He was pleased that his little pet did like her new name. “Always.” He drawled.“And also you have to come back cause-” she paused, swallowing the lump on her throat for the words that were to come out next. “I love you Ryland.” She blurted.Rylands’ eyes widened in shock. His little rabbit just admitted her feelings. He could feel his heart doing flipflops as
