I pull away from him and head into the mansion. Once inside, I make my way up to our room; I go into the closet and pull out a blouse and some jeans. I then walk out of the closet and into the bathroom. I close the door behind me and turn on the shower. As the water warms, I strip off my fighting pants, my underwear, and my top. I then step under the water, allowing the heat to seep into my muscles. I rinse and wash my hair. I jump as two arms wrap around me, pulling me back tight up against a hard chest. I sigh as tingles run through me as he glides his hands up and down my body. I lift my arms and wrap them around his neck above my head as he places soft kisses on my neck and whispers, "Yasmine, you do matter and you were right, I have put it off long enough and you need to start learning what it is to be my mate, my packs Luna and then the Luna of all Luna's... We also need to discuss the change..." I let out a soft moan as he continues to kiss and whisper, bu

I must have fallen asleep on the cushion out on the balcony because when I wake up, I am in bed with tingles running all over me from where Zachariah has his arms wrapped tightly around me. I carefully move, making him growl,"It's early. Where are you going?""To the bathroom! Unless you want me to wet the bed!"I smile as he then kisses the back of my shoulder and relaxes his arms, allowing me to wriggle out of his arms, off the bed, and then walk into the bathroom. I use the toilet, wash my hands and splash my face.I know I asked Zachariah yesterday if I could learn my apparent place by his side, but if the meeting was anything to go on, I don't belong there, so I think I will go back to my fighting.When I exit the bathroom, I move over to the bed and smile as I hear him snoring. I then make my way into the closet and put on some light-fighting clothes. I pick up a towel as I slip silently out of the room and down into the kitchen.

I laugh for the first time in weeks. It isn't long before we are pulling up in front of the hairdressers. Zaire gets out and then opens the back door, allowing us to get out as well. As we enter the hairdressers, I don't worry about the disgust that is evident on her face."Alpha miss, what can I do for you today?""It's for Yasmine again. She needs something elegant... Something like last time but more."I sit in the chair and she plays mindlessly with my hair, before saying,"Okay, I can do the same half up, half down with beautiful curls all over.""Sounds good, do it!""Wait... Wait... Why do I need this?" I move slightly to look at Jade."For your date tonight with Alpha Zachariah...""But I never said that I would go...""Come on, Yasmine! You need to go!""But why? I'm not welcome around here..." I glance at the girl behind me in the mirror and don't miss the small smirk telling me I am right. I don't

When Zaire stops the car, both Jade and I get out of the back before he gets a chance to come around and open the door. He growls a little, but we just laugh. Jade hooks her arm in mine and we make our way into the mansion, as we have no bags this time. Zaire walks up behind us and pushes his way in between, draping his arms over both our shoulders. We all laugh as he makes us stumble in through the door. Jade steps to the side. Zaire ends up laid out flat on the floor and I end up with an arm wrapped around my waist.My laughter dies as the beast holding me growls, "You should be more careful!"As soon as I am steady on my feet once more, Raphael removes his arm from my waist, turns, and walks away. I look at both Jade and Zaire, confused. After what he said yesterday, why would he care what happens to me? I shake my head, move over to Jade's side and look down at Zaire, who is still laying on the floor. I laugh."Are you going to get up? Or are you going to sl

Everything and everyone had fallen silent and stopped as soon as I had yelled and slapped Zachariah's face. I look up and see that Zachariah had released the King's wrist and was standing with his arms crossed over his chest and a small smile on his lips. The King looks at me, then at Zachariah. He says something I don't hear. Zachariah turns and smiles at him and utters something in return. They shake hands and then they make their way over to me. I put my hands on my hips as Zachariah stops in front of me and holds out his hand; I take a quick look around and notice that more of those big beasts have entered the room and there is no way I can defeat all of them on my own, so I slowly put my now shaking hand into his. He pulls me slightly towards him, bringing me into his arms. I don't like it, but my body does what it and I have always done and melt just that little bit into him. I then turn my face in his chest, not wanting to show the vulnerability as the tears f
