~Jasmine~

Sensing my presence, Mav turned, abruptly ending his call. “Is there a problem, Jasmine?” he asked, approaching me and gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I wanted to question him, to understand why he was keeping secrets, but instead, I shook my head. “Nothing at all. I just came to ask for the logbook,” I replied.

He seemed incredibly preoccupied, his mind elsewhere, as he handed me the Grand Prime’s logbook. “Thanks,” I said, turning to leave. Just as I reached the door, he stopped me. “Wait, Jasmine. Something’s wrong, isn’t it?” he asked, and I paused. “Don’t worry about it,” I murmured.

I gasped, clutching my stomach, the logbook slipping from my grasp and falling to the floor with a dull thud. “Jasmine, what is it?” Mav’s voice was laced with panic as he rushed to my side. The pain intensified, throbbing harshly, twisting my insides and causing my wolf to double over in agonizing protest.

My back cramped violently, each spasm feeling like a jagged saw teari

  • His Alpha-Uncle Is My Fated Mate   Chapter 55 The patient called Greg

    ~Alpha Maverick~What? How could this be? I didn’t think James would purposely send a fake replacement of “Martha”. I listened to Kazeem’s words over the phone and the scent of Jasmine intensified, signaling her presence. I abruptly ended the call.“Is there a problem, Jasmine?” I asked. She nodded, saying she’d just come for the company logbook, though her eyes told a different story. She seemed to want to say something, ask questions, but thought better of it.I handed her the logbook. “Thanks,” she replied quietly, taking it. As she turned to leave, I stopped her, disliking her somber mood. I wanted to tell her about Martha and what I’d discovered, but I also didn’t want to burden her. Jasmine was already going through so much.“Argh,” she groaned, clutching her lower abdomen. The book slipped from her grasp, hitting the floor with a thud. “Jasmine, what is it?” I asked, a wave of panic washing over me. I rushed to her side. Her eyes were sunken, her face pale and contorted in pain

    ~Maverick~I racked my brain, trying to place the man’s face, but it remained elusive, a complete mystery. With a sigh, I decided to push it aside for the moment. There were more pressing matters at hand.“We’re studying how the Lycan virus operates. Our research suggests it incubates in the cells for two weeks before symptoms manifest and then rapidly deteriorates,” Dr. Liam explained. I nodded. I nodded, absorbing the unsettling information.“Keep up the good work. I hope we find a breakthrough soon,” I said, leaving the room. My mind was a whirlwind, and I didn’t know where to begin.The research itself was proving to be a frustrating dead end. Not only were we running dangerously low on essential reagents, but a significant portion of the research staff lacked the specialized knowledge needed to effectively study the Lycan virus. It was a perfect storm of setbacks, hindering any real progress.At this point, the thought of consulting Jasmine about taking on the research became inc

    ~Jasmine~“I’ll be back soon, Jass. Take care of yourself, okay? Call me if anything happens,” Mav said, his gaze as gentle and vulnerable as I’d ever seen it. I nodded, watching him drive away, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirling within me as his words settled. I couldn’t explain it, but my Luna instincts were on high alert.The entire Lycan virus situation was consuming my every thought. I remembered my school project and how engrossed my father had become in the subject. I knew how crucial this research was.Pacing around the house, I was lost in thought, desperately trying to find a way to help. How could I aid Maverick and offer a solution? I hated seeing him so burdened. I considered various possibilities and scenarios.Should I check my father’s research notes and inventory? I vividly remembered his sleepless nights, his tireless efforts to find a breakthrough. That was the very reason I’d become so invested in the project during my school days.Entering my room, I beg

  • His Alpha-Uncle Is My Fated Mate   Chapter 58 Even the strongest shoulders get tired

    ~Jasmine~The mention of Dr. James’s wife hung in the air with a very persistent and unsettling question mark.What possible connection could she have to this tangled situation, and how did she factor into the appearance of this “new Martha?” Did she have something to do with it? But what was her gain in all of it? The questions just came running through my mind without a stop.Dr. James had brushed it aside, insisting on a simple misunderstanding. But the more I considered it, the more suspicious it became, she was the only one who knew of us… so how else? Or was Dr James trying to cover for her? How did fake Martha get access to us? That means there is someone manipulating the whole situation.“There’s definitely been a mix-up,” Dr James spoke finally. “My wife wouldn’t send someone posing as Martha to you. What would be the point? I don't think she knows Jasmine personally.”Dr. James paused, deep in thought, before asking wearily, “Do you have the medications the fake Martha gave

    ~Jasmine~“Eat up,” Mav said, offering me a bowl of steaming soup he’d made. I was huddled in a blanket in his room, still feeling the lingering weakness after the emotional storm and the IV fluids, we were now back home.I watched him move around, his eyes tired and shadowed, a visible drain on his energy. Yet, he pushed through, forcing a smile that only amplified the ache in my heart. Since I’d finally allowed myself to break down and cry, the IV had helped restore some of my physical strength. My wolf, however, was still weakened, her senses dulled. Dr. James assured us she’d return to normal with time.“Have you eaten?” I asked, watching him tuck in the other side of his bed. He stilled for a moment, then offered a small, weary smile. “Don’t worry about me.”“When was the last time you ate?” I pressed, refusing to let it go. “Don’t tell me since breakfast.” I gasped as he sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. “It’s fine… I’m not hungry.”“Who said you have to be hungry to eat?

  • His Alpha-Uncle Is My Fated Mate   Chapter 60 They want me to step in

    ~Jasmine~Mav cleared his throat and swiped to answer the call. “Kazeem,” he said, the single word instantly snapping me to attention. Kazeem rarely called Mav directly unless something was seriously wrong. I strained to listen, while my entire senses heightened.Mav listened to the other side intently, proving that it was indeed an important call. I watched as his expression shifted from neutral to a concerned one, clenching and unclenching his jaw. “Tell them we’re doing everything we possibly can. I’m also currently reviewing a report on the Lycan Virus back at my office. I’ll send the information over tomorrow and my hypotheses.”The words “Lycan Virus” caught my full attention, does this have to do with the patients? Are they all right?Earlier in the day, before Mav left, he had mentioned to me that another member had been infected with the virus, expressing his concern about its potential spread within the entire pack. I couldn't ask how it went, because I was in pain and got d

    ~Jasmine~“Oh no,” I murmured, my shoulders slumping. In the midst of everything, I’d almost forgotten about Violeta. She was still my supervisor, and if I was going to work from home, I needed her approval.“What is it?” Mav asked, his attention focused solely on me. I sighed.“I don’t know if this will even work… What about Violeta?” I hesitated, carefully choosing my words.“What about Violeta? What if she interprets this as…me trying to take advantage of the situation? Especially after our…disagreement?” I deliberately omitted the underlying fear, the unspoken question that lingered in the air between us: what if she thought I was trying to steal her position, to undermine her authority?I knew Violeta’s personality all too well. Even if she had, at some point, manipulated Mav for her own gain, I couldn’t simply brush aside the constant stream of negativity she directed my way. It was a persistent, low-level hum of animosity that made working with her incredibly difficult. Her cutt

    ~Jasmine~“Are you ready, Jasmine?” A soft knock echoed through the door as I checked out my reflection one last time, smoothing down any imaginary creases in my outfit.“Just a second,” I called out, giving my hair a final pat and applying the last touch of perfume.It was the next morning, and as promised, Mav was already dressed and waiting to escort me to Grand Prime to discuss the work-from-home arrangement with Violeta.Despite how composed I appeared, a feeling of anxiety settled at the pit of my stomach, because I was unsure how she would react, Although I was determined not to let her intimidate me.Stepping out of the room, I found Mav leaning against the doorframe, his gaze sweeping over me, taking in every detail.I would never grow accustomed to the way his attention made me feel – cherished, beautiful, as if I were the only woman in the world.“My beautiful lady,” he murmured, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. He twirled me gently, placing a soft kiss on the back of m

    ~Jasmine~My brow furrowed as I heard a faint scuffling sound. What could it be? I forced my eyes open and saw Mav dressing, which only deepened my confusion. What time was it? Had I slept that long?“Going to work already?” I asked, my voice still thick with sleep, blinking against the room's light.“Good morning, sunshine,” Mav replied, a gentle smile playing on his lips. I inwardly rolled my eyes. *Sunshine*? Seriously? It felt like a line from a cheesy old movie. Before I could tease him about it, however, he immediately asked, his tone laced with concern, “How are you feeling?”How was I feeling? I honestly couldn't say. Strangely, I woke with a sense of lightness, as if a great weight had been lifted. I still felt a lingering emptiness, but the heavy grief I had anticipated hadn't materialized.“As good as ever,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. Almost as soon as the words left my mouth, I asked, “Can I come with you to the office?”Mav’s expression softene

    ~Maverick~“Samantha?” I repeated, genuinely unsurprised. It was the only thing that made sense. I shook my head in disgust. “How could you throw a person’s life in jeopardy?”Dr. James’s wife whispered, her voice cracking, her eyes filled with shame. She couldn’t meet my gaze. Taking a sharp breath, she said, “You would understand if you were in my shoes, Alpha. What I did was uncalled for… but I did it for my family. I couldn’t turn her down.”I gritted my teeth, listening as she continued, “I feel indebted to her, Alpha. She was there for me during my darkest times… I had to return the favor, be there for her when she needed me most… even if it cost me everything.” She whispered the last part. “But believe me, Alpha, I purchased the rare seaweed, but that was it. I didn’t know anything about the poisoning.” With that, she broke down, sobbing into her hands. I didn’t know how to react. I could never understand her reasoning, and I didn’t intend to.My eyes snapped to Dr. James, who

    ~Maverick~“Sleep tight, I’ve got some work to do,” I said, kissing Jasmine’s forehead and pulling the duvet over her. After we left the hospital, we dropped Rosè at her house and drove straight back home. Jass needed some rest.The truth was, I couldn't shake the unease that settled over me after discovering the rare seaweed had been intentionally tampered with. Pulling out my phone, I paced the room, my gaze lingering on a sleeping Jasmine. It was late. "How dare anyone try to hurt her?" I gritted my teeth. "When I find the culprit, they won't escape my wrath."My thoughts drifted back to my conversation with Rose’s doctor. The moment he mentioned the overdose of rare seaweed in Jasmine’s system, I suspected it had been mixed with her medication. It wasn't difficult to deduce.What baffled me was his explanation that while the seaweed was dangerous in high doses, certain licensed doctors could access small amounts. In minute concentrations, like 0.01%, it could be used in extreme pa

    ~Jasmine~A very painful chill permeated the freezing white room, raising goosebumps on my arms. “What is this place?” I whispered, my breath misting in the icy air. My heart pounded a frantic rhythm against my ribs, the sound echoing in my ears, intensifying by the pin-drop silence.A flash of light flashed past, and I called out, my voice trembling, “Hello?” The echo amplified my fear, making the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.A faint whimpering sound reached me. I moved cautiously towards it, but there was no one there. Then, a weak voice whispered my name, “J…Jasmine.” Confusion deepened my fear. The aura, however, felt strangely familiar. “Who are you? What do you want?” I demanded, my voice rising in panic as the whimpering heightened. Recognition of the voice struck me hard like a physical blow. It was my wolf.I gasped. What the hell? I was in my subconscious. But why?“You’re trapped between life and death, Jasmine,” she whispered, her voice laced with pain. “I can

    ~Maverick~Rosè’s sobs filled the room. With trembling hands, I picked up the phone. “Where are you now?”“We’re at the hospital. The City’s General Hospital. My personal doctor is attending to her,” she replied, her words punctuated by choked sobs and hiccups.I didn’t waste another second. I bolted for my car keys, adrenaline surging through me. Jumping into the car, I gripped the steering wheel tightly. No! This cannot be happening! Nothing can happen to my Jasmine. I won’t forgive the universe if anything happens to her.I slammed my foot on the accelerator, driving like a man possessed, the city streets blurring into a meaningless rush of lights. My vision was blurred by a rising panic, my legs felt numb, and the world around me seemed unreal, almost as if I were trapped in a distorted dream.Arriving at the hospital, I found Rosè pacing frantically in the lobby, her eyes closed, her hands shaking as she mumbled what sounded like a desperate prayer.“Rosè!” I called out.

    ~Alpha Maverick~Going straight to the office, I couldn't shake Jasmine from my thoughts. With each passing day, I found myself falling deeper for her and it was impossible to think of a life without her in it.“Greetings, Alpha. Here is the analysis report. We have dissolved Blue Regent on the sample, and it turned purple, meaning it is not as potent as we thought and cannot combat any parasites.” Violeta’s voice broke through my reverie as she placed the report on my desk, her eyes downcast, as if she were uncomfortable in my presence.“Thank you, Violeta. Does that mean there’s no progress so far?” I stated more than asked, my eyes scanning the report. The results were disheartening. “Never mind. We’ll see what we can do,” I said, already feeling a headache brewing.“Alpha…” she hesitated, making me look up. I tried my best to mask any irritation; I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for trivial matters.“Yes, Violeta?” I replied, keeping my voice even.“About the other day… I since

    ~Jasmine~“Why? How? When?… Jass, answer me!” Rosè shook me gently, her face draining of color as if she’d just witnessed something terrifying.I gasped for air, struggling to find the words. “Yes, you heard me. We are in a contractual marriage, and I live with him,” I finally managed, the confession feeling like a dam breaking. She dramatically clutched her chest, her eyes wide.“My goodness, Jass, this is… I’m literally speechless.” She covered her mouth with her left hand, her expression showing sheer disbelief. While the revelation felt like a burden lifted from my shoulders, a nervous energy still thrummed through my veins.“You know what?” Rosè finally said, breaking the silence. “Let’s get settled in first… my bladder is about to burst,” she added with a dramatic flair, which thankfully broke the tension and made us both burst into laughter.As soon as she unlocked the door and we got out of the car, I rushed to the kitchen and chugged down a glass of water to calm my nerves, a

    ~Jasmine~“Happy birthday, my love.” I approached her, noting the immediate gleam in her eyes, although she tried to appear nonchalant. The undisguised excitement warmed me, and I was glad I made it here.I pulled her into a tight hug. Though she didn't reciprocate it, she didn't pull away either. “You haven’t been answering my calls Rosè,” I murmured, and she nodded, her gaze flitting around the room, catching the eyes of her staff before she steered me towards her office.“What the hell were you thinking, Jasmine? And yes, I didn’t answer any of them because not once did I see a single explanation for your actions. I am still pissed at you, in fact, I will be… until you tell me what’s up with you.” She gestured emphatically, and I sighed, my shoulders slumping in disappointment.“What I’m about to tell you will blow your mind, but first…” I offered her the fresh flowers and the wrapped gift. “For you.”“Thanks…” she trailed off, taking them. “What’s this?” she asked curiously, teari

    ~Jasmine~“Good morning.” Mav smiled, his face close to mine as I wondered how long he had been staring at me. I could feel the blush creeping up my neck.After our impromptu steak lunch, we’d returned to his room, immersed in research, poring over journals, articles, reports—anything that could offer insight into targeting and weakening the virus. We hadn't realized how late it had become, and I'd ended up falling asleep there.Honestly, these past few days, I’d grown accustomed to sleeping in his bed, his warm scent was a comforting presence to me, and I don’t think I’d ever get used to it. Just his presence made me feel relaxed, proving to be more effective than any antidote. The thought of returning to my own empty bed felt unsettling. Stealing one of his shirts suddenly seemed like a tempting idea.“Morning,” I said, and before I could gather myself, he wasted no time pecking my lips, then licking his to savor the taste, a smirk playing on his face.“Hey! You can’t just do that.”
