Chapter 52Author's point of view Rita was so surprised when she finally remembered that Raphael's face looked familiar because she once saw him the day she visited Isabelle at her house. “How come I never knew, so Mr Dominic and Isabelle's husband are both cousins? Wow!” She was so shocked.“Yes they are, I was as surprised as you when I found out, I thought you knew about it as well.” The doctor said,“I'm just finding out now, doctor Williams, I never knew,” Rita answered. “Well, speaking of the company, how are things over there? It must be quite hard since Mr Dominic's absence.” The doctor said and Rita's eyes widened. “Quite hard, is an understatement, doctor Williams, it has been hell since Mr Dominic's absence,” Rita complained. “I know it would be, I just hope that company doesn't fold because it is in the wrong hands.” The doctor added and Rita agreed with him. “It's indeed in the wrong hands, Mr. Raphael doesn't care if the company runs dry or not as long as it fetche
Chapter 53Author's point of view Isabelle was beginning to have doubts about her marriage and even the way Raphael had been acting was quite strange but she didn't want to make it obvious that she doubted him. The only thing she hoped for was to do the right thing because she felt so different.Rita came over to the hospital to see Isabelle almost all the time. Rita supported Isabelle to walk again gradually. And they grew closer to each other again. Rita also showed Isabelle a picture of Dominic. To her, he looked so handsome but she didn't say it out to Rita. She felt like she had a deep connection with him as she watched his photos but didn't know how to explain it to Rita. Isabelle really loved Rita's presence whenever they were together. She talked about work and most of the things they did in the past which made Isabelle laugh at the funny ones. Rita was so happy to see so many changes in Isabelle and how she was finally coming back to her old self gradually. The doctor
Jasmine's POVThis wasn't marriage, rather it was the definition of pure hell and bondage.I sat around the dinner table and watched as the clock ticked away, the wildlife outside sang comforting words to me, but the pain in my heart could not be cured.2 am and he wasn't yet back, I couldn't help but worry as I was certain he left with no guards, I hated the fact that I was worried.Bonded to him by the goddess, married to him as a debt meant to be repaid when I give him a child, my heart longed for him as much as I hated him.For some reason tonight, I didn't want this routine of waiting up, I desperately wanted to forget.I dragged myself up to the wine cellar and picked up wine with the highest amount of wolfsbane to get me drunk.My hands found my phone and I dialed his number before stopping, calling the Alpha was useless because the only thing I'd get in return would be insulted as always.It's only been a year since I was sold off to a mate who treated me no less than a rag, a
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 but
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
