~Jasmine~

Clearing my throat, I added, “May I ask for a clarification?”

They froze while the Stallion Pack’s representative gave me a judgmental look, but I continued, “You mentioned something about using a human-dominated faction, right?”

His eyes narrowed, and he furrowed his brows, becoming defensive. “I believe there’s a scheme going on in the Gold Crescent Pack. Using a high percentage of humans goes against what's in the protocol book.” As I listened to him, I realized there was a misinterpretation in the research paper.

I quickly sifted through my thoughts, recalling that I had encountered a similar issue during my research days. I tried to piece together the puzzle and find the missing link.

“I believe this accusation stems from a misunderstanding,” I said, holding the gaze of both parties.

“What do you mean?” The Alpha’s executive asked, and I smiled, clearing my throat. All eyes were on me, and for a moment, I forgot I was standing before prestigious members in the hall, the

    ~Jasmine~His words sent me over the edge as I pressed myself closer to him, wanting to feel him near me once again.The kiss became more frantic, more intense, as I clenched my thighs together. His large hands slowly trailed over my body, caressing me, the contact making me moan into his mouth.Just as he reached down to my panties, I shivered slightly, his thumb grazing over my sensitive spot, and reason returned to my mind.“Wait,” I said as he pulled back with a questioning look in his eyes.“Is there something wrong?” he asked in a raspy voice, his eyes still clouded with desire.I let out a shaky breath. “Nothing… I just think we need to take things slow.”His hands, which were tugging at my panty line, now rested on my thighs before he asked again, “Including sex?” He turned to look deeply into my eyes.And when I refused to answer, he got the message. He let out a low chuckle. “You know that’s going to be a hard one, Jasmine. I can’t resist you, and the mate bond isn’t making

    ~Jasmine~Clearing her throat, Rose pulled me back to the present. "Um, I need to check on something urgently in the office. I'll leave you both to it," she excused herself and left me alone with Alpha Zephyr.“Rose told me you would be relocating to the Red Blood Pack, correct?” He was the first to speak again, and I turned my full attention to him.“There are things I still need to take care of...may even take longer than expected.”“I understand completely.” His smile was warm as he gestured for me to sit across from him. “I promise you’ll have a memorable stay.”“That’s great.”His smile widened. “This is actually my second time visiting Gold Pack. I’m here on a business trip with my insurance company.”“Insurance company?” I repeated, intrigued.His eyes sparkled, clearly passionate about his work. “Yes, a fire insurance company. I’m focused on expanding and conducting in-depth research about it.”“That’s a really great area," I said, captivated by his topic. "It's one of the ove

    ~Jasmine~He looked like he didn't have a single care in the world. My heart suddenly felt heavy as I was overwhelmed by rage. How could he be happy in another woman’s company? My wolf was also furious, fighting to take control and tear the other she-wolf apart. “Let me out,” she scratched at my mind, but I refused to let her take over.Sensing my presence, Alpha Maverick turned his head in my direction, surprise flickering in his eyes. I wanted to scoff at him, but I tried to maintain my composure.“Jasmine,” he called, standing up and walking toward me as I took in his appearance, his dark hair neatly styled, and his perfect jawline highlighted by the light. He had taken off his coat and was now wearing a rolled-up white shirt, which showcased his large arms and the veins bulging beneath the fabric. A wristwatch adorned one of his wrists. He looked… spectacular.As he stood in front of me, he enveloped me in a hug, his scent overwhelming my senses. My wolf, which had previously been

    ~Jasmine~After Alpha Maverick left, I stayed back for a while, thinking about anything and everything, my mind full of unanswered questions.I opened the ride-sharing app on my phone and booked a cab. When it arrived, I gave the driver Alpha Maverick’s home address without thinking too much about it. His home was home to me now.The house felt cold and empty without him. I walked straight to my room and fell on the bed, still wearing my clothes. I felt drained and upset.“Calm down, Jasmine. It’s too early to feel this attached to him,” I whispered, trying to convince myself. But it didn’t help at all. The feeling refused to go away.I couldn’t stop thinking about what Alpha Maverick was doing. The thought of him remained in my mind. Frustrated, I sat up and groaned loudly, covering my face with the pillow.“Why in this forsaken world do you have to feel this way, Jasmine?” I whispered angrily at myself for caring so much.Just when I closed my eyes to rest my mind, my phone rang lou

    ~Jasmine~I stood frozen by the door, with confusion swirling in my mind. Why had Violeta been so stunned earlier? Was she pretending to be sick just now? Or was I just imagining things?“Jasmine!” She greeted me with a soft smile, though her expression quickly turned tired as she held her arm. I returned a faint smile as I stepped fully into the room and walked over to the visitor's chair.“Violeta…” I said as I took a seat, feeling conflicted about what to believe. Was I reading too much into things? I don't know. But one thing is certain: she is a good actress.I heard about your accident from the Alpha. I had to come check on you. But… it seems you’re doing much better,” I said, studying her closely. She shifted, sitting a bit straighter as she leaned back against the bed.“Ah... yes.” Violeta began, her voice ten times weaker than when she was on the phone earlier.““I’m trying my hardest to be strong. I’m avoiding anything that could put my baby’s life at risk,” she said, her ex

    ~Maverick~Squaring my shoulders, I sighed, leaning back as I went through some paperwork in the conference room.Just then, a sweet, familiar scent wafted into my nostrils, and I didn’t need to raise my head to know it was Jasmine. My wolf stirred with excitement, howling as she approached. I glanced up, and there she was.Jasmine! I whispered, a smile tugging at my lips as she strode confidently into the room. All eyes turned toward her, and I could feel jealousy gnawing at my insides, my wolf claiming ownership. She was mine, only mine, to look at.Her gaze finally locked on mine, her eyes flickering with something unreadable as she walked toward me. She pulled out a chair beside me and sat down, her presence consuming me in ways I never expected.“You made it,” I greeted, sliding some documents in front of her. “You need to review these before the assessments. They cover all the vital points you should take note of.”She nodded absentmindedly, her mind clearly elsewhere, as though

    ~Jasmine~“Um,” clearing my throat, I gently declined his offer. “I would prefer to stay back and get to know the department better.” I knew Alpha Zephyr would probably be there, and meeting him could result in misunderstandings, so I would rather stay back. Rose deserved to hear the explanation from me.Maverick didn’t object. Instead, he nodded. “I understand,” he said, taking my hands into his and placing a soft, lingering kiss on the spot. My heart flipped as I felt butterflies erupt from every corner, my wolf struggling to stay put.“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me,” he said with a smug look gracing his face while maintaining eye contact. I got lost in their vastness for a moment, my lips curling as I refused to back down from the staring contest. “I am not a damsel in distress, Alpha.”“Oh really?” He stepped closer, and I felt warmth spreading from my neck to my cheeks. His eyes flickered, and there was an emotion I recognized, one he wasn’t scared to show—desir

    ~Jasmine~My mind swirled with questions about why they erupted with laughter as I proceeded through the building. Floor after floor, I searched but still couldn’t find the reserve store. Was this rocket science?When I finally reached the ground floor, I checked the map plastered on the wall for directions. Frustratingly, there was no mention of the reserve room.My eyes widened as I glanced at the clock, realizing I had already wasted fifteen minutes wandering around aimlessly. It began to dawn on me why they all laughed out loud.What creeped me out most was the emptiness of the building. There was no one here to ask for help. Perhaps because it was late. Most departments were shut.I knew Alpha Maverick was in a meeting. Should I call him? I debated for a moment before deciding against it; I didn’t want to be a bother. Instead, I found a spot to sit and sent him a quick text asking where the reserve room was located.Minutes passed, but still no reply from him. Returning to the la

    ~Alpha Maverick~I walked back to my office, but Violeta’s harsh words kept replaying in my head. I felt a tightness in my chest like I couldn’t breathe. My tie felt like it was choking me, so I loosened it. I was furious, not just from Violeta’s words but also from the pressing issue of the Lycan virus.I dialed my phone to call Kaiden and check on the progress of the situation, as he had been delaying in submitting the reports.On the second ring, he picked up. “Greetings, Alpha.”“Yes, Kaiden, the reports—why are they late?” I said directly.“My apologies, Alpha. We encountered a setback, but... The parasite carrying the Lycan Virus gradually shuts down the organs, leaving the patient in a vegetative state. The victim has stopped speaking and responding to external stimuli.”I sighed, pressing my temple. This was an alarming sign of deterioration. Although we are trying our best,

    ~Maverick~I noticed Jasmine’s discomfort when I brought up Samantha in the conversation. Although she tried to avoid discussing what had transpired that day, she simply said it was nothing she couldn’t handle, and I nodded, dropping the subject.We continued eating before she dropped another bombshell, asking about my decision regarding Logan’s position at the company.I sighed, unsure if my plan was a good idea. I told her I was planning to transfer him to one of our branches, though I withheld the fact that it was the most remote one.She nodded, clearly pleased that I was considering her input.After some lighthearted conversation, I turned serious again. “About Samantha… I heard you were good friends. What happened between you two? Why did she suddenly turn against you?”My words had a visible impact. She paused, her eyes fixed on a distant point, lost in thought. I could tell she was hesitant before

    ~Jasmine~He offered a warm smile, and only then did I notice the glint in Zeph’s eyes. How had I ignored the signs for so long? They’d been right in front of me the entire time.The way he looked at me I had previously attributed to simple politeness. Even with the way he spoke to me, his voice softened ever so slightly when addressing me. His kind gestures, even offering help with the smallest tasks—everything pointed to one thing: that Alpha Zeph was interested in me.Instead of outright dismissing Zeph’s offer, I politely appreciated his effort.“Thank you very much, Alpha Zeph,” I said, my voice sincere. “I appreciate your kind offer, Zeph, but I’m afraid I have a lot to work on right now. I’m currently under scrutiny.I explained the recent accusations briefly and the query I was getting. I can't get my head straight, not until everything falls into place.“I need to rectify some situations at the office, so I wouldn’t be able to honor the date… not now, though.He nodded, shovi

    ~Jasmine~Violeta’s eyes were downcast, her posture slumped with a mixture of shame and fear. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, nervously twisting her fingers.Before finally summoning the courage to look up at Alpha Maverick, she took a shaky breath. “Alpha, I…” she began, her voice trembling. She attempted to apologize, to offer some semblance of an explanation for her behavior, but the damage had already been done.She couldn't turn back time, nor could she retract her hurtful words. He raised a hand to silence her. “Dare you say another word, Violeta…”Violeta nodded her head frantically, her eyes wide with fear, understanding the gravity of his unspoken words. She knew she had crossed a line, and the consequences would be severe.With that, Mav turned sharply and walked out of the office, leaving just Violeta and me in the tense silence. I glanced one last time at her broken frame, her shoulders slumped, her head bowed in defeat. I felt a pang of something akin t

    ~Jasmine~“Well done, Jasmine. This concludes your interview.” Professor Gabby extended his hand for a handshake. His words were accompanied by a warm smile. I could see the genuine satisfaction in his eyes.“Thank you for having me,” I replied politely, returning his handshake and then turning to acknowledge the other professors seated around the table. They offered small nods and smiles.Leaving Professor Gabby’s office, I expected to find Mav waiting eagerly in the lobby, waiting to hear every detail of how the interview went, but he wasn't there. The lobby was empty, save for a few workers milling about.I went outside, scanning for his car in the parking lot, but it was also absent. I reached into my purse for my phone to call him and inquire about his whereabouts; a notification caught my eye. It was a text message from Maverick sent minutes earlier.“There’s an emergency I need to attend to. A driver in a green Porsche will pick you up. Good luck with your interview—you’ve got

    ~Jasmine~Her eyes widened in surprise. “Seaweed?” she repeated.“Mrs. Martha, I can smell it. Rare seaweed has a distinct, pungent odor.”She nodded, understanding dawning on her face. “I’m only administering Dr. James’s prescription. I wasn’t given any specific information about the contents.”“What’s happening? Is there a problem?” Mav asked, his gaze shifting between us.“No, everything’s fine. I just need to rest,” I said, offering a tight smile to both him and Mrs. Martha.As soon as she left, Mav approached me, a smile on his face. “Shall we?” He gestured towards the wheelchair. I sighed.“I can walk back to my room, Mav. It’ll be better for digestion,” I protested, but he wasn’t having it.“Don’t argue, Jasmine. Climbing the stairs is too much. Relax and let me take you to your room.” I knew arguing was pointless. Mav was determined to abide by Dr. James’s instructions about not straining myself and getting bed rest.I allowed him to guide me to the wheelchair and wheel me bac

    ~Jasmine~I swallowed, staring at him, the question hanging in the air. How did he know what had transpired between Samantha and me? How had he found out she was the one who pushed me?I didn’t remember telling him about our meeting. In fact, we’d never spoken about her. She wasn’t worth a conversation.The image of her cold eyes, leaving me there to bleed, haunted me. The more I recalled the incident, the more it frayed my nerves.I needed to teach Samantha a lesson she wouldn’t soon forget—for undermining me. If I told the Alpha about her threats, I was sure she would be severely punished.I cleared my throat, blinking. “Don’t worry about her, Mav. She’s nothing I can’t handle.”He stared at me for a few moments, trying to read me, to see between the lines. But I revealed nothing, only smiled reassuringly. He slumped back in his chair, letting the conversation drop—for now.“Your meal is getting cold,” I said, gesturing to the half-eaten steak on his plate.“I’m full,” he dismissed,

    ~Maverick~When I returned from my meeting with Professor Gabby, Jasmine had finally woken up. Dr. James assured me it was fine to take her home now, promising to send the appointment details later.After assessing her, Dr. James confirmed that while Jasmine was stable, the fetus was still at risk. He stressed the importance of extreme care moving forward.Determined to lift her spirits, I arranged for an event planner to organize lunch. I needed her to see how much I cared, especially since she hadn’t eaten much since yesterday. I remembered her love for steak marinated in mango sauce, it seemed to be her favorite, so I ensured it was part of the platter, alongside other dishes she enjoyed.The car ride home was quiet until I broke the silence. “I’ve decided to have your art pieces moved into your room. Now that you’re staying here, you’ll need to sort through your personal belongings before we sell the house.”Her response was unexpected. “Didn’t you hear what Dr. James said? This c

    ~Maverick~My mind raced with questions as Dr. James spoke. One thing was clear—Logan must never find out about this, no matter what. As Dr. James led us into the guest room, he suggested that Jasmine stay the night. A few moments later, he returned with ointment and pills for her.I carefully applied the ointment to her wounds, asking if she was feeling okay. She nodded, but I could see something was off. My thoughts spiraled: what if the child she carried belonged to Logan? And now, with everything Jasmine had said about giving him another chance, was this the right time for Logan to return to the company? Or should I send him to manage the branch on the far side of the city instead?As I shifted to her scraped knees, I gently applied the cream. Jasmine winced slightly, the sting breaking her composure for a moment. Something about her fall didn’t sit right with me. From the position I found her in, it wasn’t a simple slip—it was too severe for that.I glanced into her eyes, searchi
