LOGIN~Jasmine~She walked over to take the tea from Esmeralda and gestured for the maid to serve me too."Your Majesty, she's not sickly, goodness! I know her, she may not have a strong wolf, but she's smart and intelligent, Do you know she got into Ivory Spire with your Queens funded scholarship, no ordinary wolf can do that, you know how tough the scholarship is! And I don't believe her wolf is weak, Jasmine is perfect, look at her without bias for once you’ll like her we all do!" Sofia replied.The queen squinted more…watching me with what looked like fresh new eyes as if weighing Sofia’s words against her deep prejudice. She walked slowly over to her seat…nodding at me.What the heck…was? Did she just show me the first sign of respect I had ever gotten from her for real?"I see," she murmured taking up her teacup to sip.The other ladies in waiting began murmur again I smiled at Sofia, nodding at her too… i took her hands and squeezed them tight. This was why I had been yearning f
~Jasmine~"An accident, what if we find out it's a lie?" Gisselle asked…her eyes darting triumphantly toward the Queen. "What if we get a royal doctor from the clinic to come check you…after all… She drawled.“That's what should have been done, isn't it?" she added turning to face the Queen and the ladies watching for agreement..."Of course it's normal," one lady agreed instantly."Isn't that supposed to be before the coronation or luna ceremony?" one of the ladies whispered behind her hand."That's if she passes the king's test, tsk tsk poor girl," another whispered… The snide laughter they all let out thereafter grated on my nerves!The queen blinked as if catching on something brilliant… I watched her honey-colored eyes twinkle "Esmeralda!" she called out."Yes, Your Majesty," the young maid who was serving their tea when I came in answered"Quick, go get a doctor from the royal clinic! I want her inspected right here and now!" she commanded.I gasped…widening my eyes in shock
~Jasmine ~ Freya and Maria followed closely behind, but my heart was still beating so fast… It was likely that the Queen wanted me explain to her something…or worse, had summoned me to account why the Princes didn’t explain in detail what was going on to her... It was nothing serious on the surface, but knowing the woman, I know she will reel me about whatever happened last night until she knows exactly what happened. When we got to her quarters, two maids were standing at the doors with a male bodyguard…they bowed and opened the door as I stopped in front of them. The door panels swung inward with an ominous creak… I exhaled… "She asked for you alone," the bodyguard said with a deep voice that brook no argument…he stared down at Freya and Maria as they tried to step forward. I looked back at them to see the worried expression on their faces…their eyes were wide with unspoken warnings. "It's fine, I can handle her now, I have being doing just that so far," I said though
~Jasmine~ "We have a plan, don't worry, as soon as that bastard sets foot in this castle on his arrival we will arrest him and end him!" Kalean said with clenched teeth. I nodded, though I doubted it will be that easy. Politics and pack laws were messy…and the Malakai i remember was a sneaky guy! They helped me freshen up and Maria brought breakfast for me. I ate like a hungry child, munching everything down as they stared at me with fond, amused expressions. It wasn't until late afternoon after I complained that I was feeling better before they allowed me to move around…the truth is I was a little weak…yet still needed things to do…the guests would be arriving soon, and I need to make sure the servants were complying with everything we had agreed on. If I showed any sign of vulnerability now… it may turn out bad and I don’t want that. Caspian insisted on staying by my side as Lucien and Kalean left to handle their royal duties. I stepped out of my room to head down to
…."They tear apart a body that has already fought its way back from pain, blind to the fact that a soul which has crawled through its own blood will never bow to shadows…for what has tasted the brink of death has nothing left to fear from whispers, and what is forged in fire can never be broken by schemers..." ~Jasmine~ I woke up to blinding rays of sunlight sweeping through my room, the pain in my wrist was gone, everything felt so quiet and normal again…I tried to open my eyes and take in my surroundings…my nose…it was bleeding before as I slumped on the restroom floor, I remember, but now? Nothing! My chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, contrasting with the panic that had choked me just hours prior... I tried to reach up and touch my face, but something was holding my hands down. It was then I looked around, taking in where I was as memories came rushing in more… Kalean, Caspian, and Lucien were all gathered round me, but they were asleep... Kalean was sitting on th
~Caspian POV~ "Oh fuck it!" I swore. No wonder she had taken so much time in the restroom, I was beginning to wonder what was wrong, but because Rhet was with her, I thought everything was okay. If she was having a curse reaction then why hadn't Rhet reported to me? I ran into staff and people as I made my way to the female restroom, brushing past confused guests who stared at my panicked expression. Rhet was knocking on the door when I ran in… "Jasmine, are you done?" I heard him whisper, then twist the door knob, but it didn’t open. Wait, it didn't open! Rhet may not know about Jasmine's curse so he wont suspect anything wrong, but still he should have been worried as she had been gone for over ten minutes. "Your highness!" he called as he saw me breathing hard… he stepped back from the doorway. "Break the damn door!" I yelled as I got to him. His eyes widened in shock, "But its a… she may be…" "Fucking break it, something is wrong with her inside!" I yel
Freya has been a real supporter and backbone for the whole week while we settled into campus, a true reliable friend indeed. I didn't know what I did to deserve her but I was super grateful to have her in my life. The big move from the Crested Mountains Pack To Ivory Spire University felt like wa
Malakai. I froze. I wanted to disappear. I wanted the floor to open and swallow me whole. I was standing in a smoke-filled kitchen, covered in stain and flour, looking like the failure everyone said I was. Malakai stepped into the kitchen, his nostrils flaring. He looked at the smoke, then at
"JASMINE! Get your lazy, defective ass out here right now!" I scrambled to hide my phone under the thin blanket. I had gotten a notification, the Ivory Spire scholarship response mail, but I couldn't look at it. Not yet. "I know you’re in here, wallowing like a wounded animal," Vivienne h
“Try again” she said stepping back a little to give me space. I looked toward the kitchen down the hall. I couldn't smell anything coming from there. I couldn't even smell the floor polish or anything around me anymore To a werewolf, smell is everything. It’s how we see the world, how we know w
