Jasmine"You did great today, Jasmine. You don’t have to look so down. It's progress." My instructor said when she saw the disappointed look on my face and even though I nodded in response, walking to the tree to grab my bottle of water and towel to wash my face, I could not help but feel a very large sense of sadness because I knew that I had been so close to shifting. I had felt it in my bones and in that split second, I had transformed, and even though it was not even completely, I had seen the claws. I had felt my sight sharpen, I had felt everything around me change, my sensations heightening and then before I could blink, it was gone. Like it never even happened. "You did good, Jasmine." My instructor said again and she smiled as she came to sit beside me where I was currently seated, at the foot of the tree. "How do you get over something like this? How do you continue to not give up hope? I was so close and now it felt like I had only imagined everything." I said, my lips
Chapter 67HardinI was mad was a total understatement. I felt like I was going crazy and at that moment, I wanted to hold Lorenzo by his neck and slit his throat. I wanted to drain out life from him and watch him in pleasure as he groaned in pain. But I could not do any of that. And the fact that I could not, made me feel suffocated. Well because he was also an Alpha, and causing him any harm, like attempting to kill him, was definitely going to get me summoned by the wolves council. Dad will not want to bring any shame to the pack, so definitely he will support the motion that my inheritance be taken away from me.So many things were running through my head at that moment, and I just wanted to breathe. “You are really pregnant for this son of a bitch, huh?” I asked again, letting out a low chuckle. I was fighting to not show the rage that I felt within me. “I… I… it’s not true, I…” Jasmine stuttered, and it only got my blood boiling the more. Lorenzo, on the other hand, had
Chapter 68JasmineIt felt like the whole world had collapsed on me after hearing Hardin say those words. My eyes widened in horror and when I looked at my mother, she looked like she could not even believe what she had just heard. Well, that made the two of us.A slut. Hardin had just called me a slut right in front of my mother and it felt like every moment that I had actually thought there was something there, that he was more than this bully, this asshole, that he was just someone that was struggling with his pain and needed to be heard, it felt like those moments were a lie. This was the real Hardin. This was who he was. This was what he was capable of. He was nothing but a dick. "What are you talking about, Hardin?" She asked, her voice calm but shaky as she struggled to grasp the words that had been used to describe me.Hardin merely looked at me, his face filled with disgust and stormed upstairs as fast as he could and I heard the door to his bedroom slam shut. My mother t
Chapter 69HardinI still could not believe Jasmine would be pregnant with Lorenzo’s child even as it was now three days since I found out about it. If it wasn't for him, I might have taken it lightly but for Lorenzo of all the people in this world? It was really stupid and crazy of her to sleep with him in the first place. It was not like I didn't satisfy her enough when I had her. What annoyed me more was that Lorenzo had a taste of her. The taste I’d been savoring and enjoying, not wanting to share it with anyone, but she randomly opened her legs for him. I seriously wanted to punch the hell out of him and beat him up till his pack failed to recognize him as one of them. I couldn't take this and my anger was seriously making me sweat. I pulled off my clothes and looked at myself in the mirror, after tying a towel around my waist. This was what she left behind for some ugly and irresponsible guy, after all that we had shared. I angrily punched the mirror and it shattered to piec
Chapter 70Hardin I walked down the stairs behind my father and everyone clapped and cheered. The whole place was filled with different influential people in the pack and from other packs. I glanced around fleetly and tried to see if I could catch the scent of my mate from afar but there was nothing. Where was she when I freaking needed her!? And she was going to put both our futures in danger if she didn’t come today, as in, tonight. I wasn't the kind to actually be dedicated to one chick for so long but just to have her for my wolf and to get that title, nothing more and nothing less. "I thank all of you for coming today to honor my invitations. I hope we all have a wonderful evening, please do enjoy yourselves." My father said and everyone clapped and cheered again. As everyone took their eyes off us, he looked back at me and I got the cue to get to the searching business. He walked away with his beta and omega and a sigh escaped my lips as I walked towards Alex and Sandro wh
Chapter 71 JasmineI was hit with a very strong headache as I opened my eyes and found myself in a place that I could not recognize. Where was I? What had happened? And then as if thinking about them suddenly made all the memories come back, I was flooded with so many memories. The ball that had been in full swing to help Hardin find his mate, running into the woods and…And what happened after that? Why was I in this dark room that smelled like dust and soot? I could not remember and just thinking about that made me begin to panic in earnest because what could have happened while I was unconscious? And my baby? Was my baby alright? I tried to reach for my stomach and that was when I realized that my hands were tied behind my back. I was wearing a dress that for the life of me, I knew was not mine and had a scent that I did not recognize and it made me wonder what was going on. Where was my mother? Where was Russo? And even though the mere thought of him caused me immense heart
Chapter 72 HardinThe only thing that kept me from falling back after I had heard what Jasmine said, was the pillar that I had held as a support. Even as it was not physical - her words, the gravity of my guilt immediately clouded my mind and I hated myself for how terrible I had been all along. That the baby in her womb was mine? And that as much as I can be the way that I am, she would never be so reckless as to have some sort of intimacy with any other man. I had been a terrible person all along, with the way I just thrust my dick into any lady’s hole. “I have been terrible,” I muttered out. And then, remembering how I had not just had sex with other girls, but brought them to Jasmine’s knowledge by making her watch videos made me cringe. I was completely shocked at everything Jasmine said to Lorenzo. I didn't know this was how she felt till now and I feel like a total idiot, a sadist and a maniac. I'll have to apologize sincerely to her. It was not something I enjoyed doing,
Chapter 73JasmineI went for a run in the woods, ignoring the whine of my wolf as I ran farther away from Hardin, but the last thing I wanted right now was to see him. How could he expect me to just accept him back after everything?He had even organized a ball to pick a mate because he would rather do that than admit to himself that he could be responsible for my pregnancy, choosing to call me a little whore because it served his purpose of not taking accountability for his actions.I could not believe that I had gone and fallen for him despite everything, that somewhere along the line, I had stopped hating him and started hoping he was just misunderstood, but if he thought that just because we were mates that I was going to accept him then he had another thing coming.My wolf whined but I ignored her, changing our course and decided to run towards the house.If there was an option to go somewhere else, I would have as I was not yet ready to face my parents.What was mom and Dad goi
