"Who are you?" The king asked angrily.His aunt shifted closer to the king to whisper into his ears. The king's eyes widened in surprise."Oh so you're Dylan, my rival. I never knew I would be having you here tonight if not I could've been expecting your presence. But nothing has gone wrong and I think it would be wise if I give you the honor to serve the king which most servants find hard."Dylan knew better that he was mocking him and he wasn't surprised when the king signaled the servants to bring in drinks."Let him serve the king," the king laughed devilishly. Dylan clenched his fists when the guard offered him drinks to hold up for the king. His aunt smirked at him.So this was where she was all this while. He should've known better than to expect anything less from that family. Just remembering everything that he got to know from Sebastian made him boil but he held it in.Dylan bore the humiliation until he was done being a slave under the king. He waited patiently and slowly
Anita turned around only to see Dylan and Travis standing there."Guards!" Dylan called angrily. "Cease her and check her room to see if there's anything there. Tomorrow would be set for your punishment."Dylan watched the guards dragging her away as she begged for him to listen to her. "Your Highness, I saw this in her room and many more." Dylan grabbed the letters and only then held information."That woman," he growled angrily."Travis," Jasmine beamed and quickly rushed to hug him. "Oh my God, I'm glad you're okay.""Yeah me too," he hugged her back. She pulled back and turned to Andrew. "You look okay as well, though as if you had a heart attack?" She teased and he smiled at her."Believe me when I say I never thought a heart attack would come in handy." He winked and she laughed.The rest were confused by their interaction but Jasmine and Andrew understood each other. She turned next to see Janice which made her smile widen."Janice, I've missed you. Where were you?""I'm sorr
Her heart pounded hard against her ribcage as she fled. Her footsteps rang loud on the lone path. Not a soul was in sight to help her out of this danger. She felt hot tears running down her face. Her lungs burned from being forced to breathe so hard However, she dared not stop for a second or the bad men would catch up with her.The cold night wind whipped her hair around her face, it made it even harder for her to see. Her leg connected with a stone and almost immediately her ankle snapped as she fell to the rough earth groaning. Intense pain racked her ankle and more tears blurred her vision. The sounds of footsteps were closer now. She turned back to see the masked men in dark hoods finally reach her.“Please don’t hurt me. Please, I'm sorry. I’ll do whatever you want I promise-” She started begging. "Is she the one?" One of the rogues asked in a harsh baritone voice as he sized her up."Yes." His partner nodded, reaching to pull her by the hair."Let me go! " Jasmine struggled
Dylan moaned, turning on his side to reach for Jasmine. Jasmine Peyton. The blond-haired green-eyed beauty he made love to with so much passion. His first. He trailed his hands on his soft mattress, reliving the incidents of the night before.He missed his way because he was lost in thought. While trying to find the path, he stumbled into them and saved her life immediately.He dealt with the rogues by giving them a serious beating. Then he warned them never to come near her again. They ran off immediately without looking back.He helped her up and together they looked for where they could stay for the night. It was late already.Luck was on their side. After walking for some minutes, they came across a shack loaded with food and a soft mattress. "Jasmine." He moaned, still trailing his hand on the bed.Dylan's brows furrowed and his eyes fluttered open immediately. She wasn't there. Her side of the bed was cold which meant that she had been gone for a long time. But to where?His sh
She trudged down the path feeling giddy. A blush crimsoned her cheeks as the memories of the night before flooded her. She was so happy. In eighteen years she had never felt this way. A bad night had finally ended on a good note. He had been gentle yet so passionate when he took her innocence. She felt complete. Satisfied. She got to be herself around him and although it was a short period she felt a connection with him. She wished she didn't have to leave but the thought of her stepmother Medusa was enough to wake her at dawn. Armed with a flimsy excuse which she could only come up with since her whole mind was fixated on the night before, she increased her pace. She inhaled the fresh air as she neared home. A lump grew in her throat when she saw their roof from afar off. She released a deep sigh into the air and twirled around facing the rugged path as if to say goodbye. For once, she wished she was free to be with the stranger who had made her feel a spark just in one night
"Wait for me, Brady, please." Jasmine shouted at the top of her voice as she struggled to zip up her small bag.She growled and dashed out of the house pulling it along without her when the zip refused to budge. Realising that no one had waited for her, she ran behind them as fast as her legs could carry her.She was still confused as to why they were fleeing and since no one was talking even though she had repeated the question, she chose to leave the matter until later when they were settled. That was if they answered her.Living with them, she was used to not getting answers from them especially since they thought her too inquisitive. A smile twitched on her face when Dylan popped up in her thoughts.Only he had made her feel comfortable. They had done more of knowing each other. Although she still felt sore, she felt content. Pushing the thoughts of Dylan away, she increased her pace.Jasmine's brows arched in confusion when she saw her father whisper some unheard words to her bro
"Alpha." One of the guards who was let into the room at Dylan's command bowed his head as he spoke."Speak." Dylan was in no mood for long talks.He only hoped they had found the traitors who had a hand in his father's death. He gripped the edge of his seat tight until his knuckles whitened. He couldn't wait to snuff life out of them after torturing them for days. So many thoughts of what to do to them filled his head and he couldn't wait to actualize them."We have no news yet but…""What?" Dylan roared."How many more hours will it take you to find my father's killers? I swear on my father's grave that I will make you a scapegoat if any one of them escapes." Dylan growled.The guard was visibly shaken by the harsh tone of Dylan's voice but he understood that he was grieving."Then what are you waiting for!?" Dylan snarled."Get out!" Dylan was furious.He could not bury his father until he avenged his death. Only then would he be at peace but there was still no news. He paced the r
She could feel an adrenaline rush through her body, making her shudder under his cold but scorching gaze.They were surrounded by absolute silence that grasped her heart in fear while she dreadfully waited for his judgment that he wanted to pronounce.Looking at her, Dylan was sure that she was probably agitated by the situation, but so was he. Nevertheless, he would never temper justice with mercy.I would give her what she and she sought for. Yet when she looked at him and their eyes met, couldn't help but notice the long of pity in her eyes, though he swore in his heart before coming there not to let whoever it was go scot-free.Yet, his heart was betraying his head that continuously reminded him not to give in to the voice telling him to rethink the proclamation.But he shrugged and passed a deadly look that made her lower her head in fear.“For killing the alpha, you're…" Dylan drawled, making Jasmine's heart beat abnormally. “You shall be nothing, locked in this kingdom and wil
