로그인~Jasmine~Kalean and Lucien were already there waiting for us. They had changed out of their formal clothes into simple training tee and shorts showing off their thick toned thighs, their expressions softened the moment they saw me walk into the clearing.Rhet stepped back, taking up his position a few steps behind me, while triplets took off their shirts and tossed them onto the dry grass."Are you sure you don't want to try shifting, Jasmine?" Caspian asked, looking back at me with hopeful eyes. "Being out here with our wolves in the fresh air might help wake Nala up.""I can't, Cas," I said quietly, wrapping my arms tightly around my chest to hide how much my hands were shaking. "Just go ahead. I want to watch."Caspian nodded, though he couldn't hide how disappointed he was.The change happened in a flash. It was a raw display of pure strength and swiftness. Bones cracked loudly, muscles grew, and within seconds, three massive, terrifying beasts stood in the clearing.They wer
~Jasmine~The stifling tension in the dining hall remained hovering over the table even as Uncle Aric tried to make it lively, the girls had just spoiled the mood, finally the morning meal ended, I released a breath I felt like I had been holding for an entire hour, sinking slightly into the plush leather of my chair.Before anyone could make a move to leave, the doors swung open, Benjamin strode into the hall briskly. His combat wear gave him the military posture of a seasoned wolf."Alpha Kalean," Benjamin's crisp voice cut through the lingering silence. "I apologize for the interruption, but your attention is needed urgently."Kalean’s jaw clenched."Handle it until I get there, Benjamin," he growled."Go, Kalean," Caspain said smoothly. "We can go for the run later, Jasmine will be perfectly fine. I will give her a tour."With a frustrated sigh, Kalean stood. He rounded the table, leaning down to press a possessive kiss against my jawline, entirely ignoring the girls and his Un
~Jasmine~"Jasmine," a hand tapped my back. "You need to wake up now," a soft voice cooed. I could hear the light sound of birds chirping as I snuggled deeper to the soft bed."Jasmine," the voice continued."Uhhh," I groaned in irritation, dragging the dense, expensive silk duvet over my head to block out the morning light streaming through the windows."Please, Jasmine, the princes will be down for breakfast soon," Maria pleaded gently, her hand leaving my shoulder.I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes as the crushing reality of my situation crashed over me. Ravenwood. The seat of Royal elite power, the place where my broken secret was now out in the open to my mates, they know now, they were going to help, but Maria’s hushed, terrified warning from last night echoed relentlessly in my mind…’The King does not let broken werewolves stay in the pack at all.’Maria was already bustling around the huge room, carrying a tray with oils and perfume, her panic from last night was gone, repl
~Kalean’s Pov I was already used to it. "We had matters to attend to," I replied evenly, keeping my hands clasped loosely behind my back. He looked at me with eyes that mirrored my own. "Matters? You mean the girl you brought back with you to Ravenwood?" He stood up, leaning his palms on his desk. "You turn twenty-five in a few months, Kalean. The Coronation is upon us. You need to get a Luna of our choosing, a queen from the high aristocracy who can command the pack by your side, not that little girl I smelled back at the entrance, not an unknown wolf from that school which you should have wrapped up by now, only the moon goddess knows why you boys keep dragging it," he muttered the last words, his voice moving from high to low. His disregard for Jasmine felt like an insult against our bond. "She's our mate, Father; we have marked her," I stated clearly, not even asking for his permission. His jaw tightened. "Thankfully she hasn't marked you personally, so you
-Kalean's POV-I left Jasmine’s room, my mind filled with thoughts about everything that has transpired lately. I rolled my shoulders, feeling my Lycan tattoos stretch across my back and down my arms, I was the only one marked this way, these dark lines were not merely for design, they were a reflection of the brutal training I had endured and received since I was a child. As the firstborn of the triplets, the crown was my burden to bear; my father had meticulously ensured my beast nature was honed into a weapon. Everyone in the territory feared Kane, my wolf. He was notoriously ruthless with strength that I kept suppressed every now and then, right now , Kane was snarling, pacing relentlessly at the corners of my mind. He wanted blood…the blood of that sick bastard who rejected our mate and caused her to lose touch with her wolf, our little mate, was not only smell-blind but unable to transform. I clenched my fist, trying to keep my claws from protruding, if I set my eyes on hi
~Jasmine~ "Back in the Crested Mountains," I said lightly. The trauma was still there; heck, I was still being haunted over and over in my dreams. I was so far away from crested mountains but the horror followed me everywhere! I gripped my own arms, feeling cold all over. "We need to get Rivera the healer to check on her. She would be able to know how to help her get her wolf back and her sense of smell," Lucien suggested. "To do that, we will need the royal seal from Father. That is the only way to summon her quickly," Kalean stated, lost in deep thought. I was getting confused now. Why involve the King so soon? "Why does she need to be summoned with a royal seal? Weird! she can't just be called to come check on me tomorrow?" I asked. "Rivera is not just your usual healer, Jasmine. She possesses rare power and treats only high-ranking supernaturals across the realm. Rumors have it that she even sees visions," Caspian clarified. "I see," I replied as a ray of hope began to ap
~Kalean~"Your Highness.""Rufus. Do I really need to remind you of the rules? We are not in Ravenwood territory. Drop the titles before someone outside this room hears you."I heard the footsteps of my bodyguard moved closer. Rufus was a wall of a man, a warrior who had been trained since birth to
~Jasmine ~We finally ordered pizza when we settled back into the dorm. Tomorrow will be our first lecture but today we have to prepare.The warmth of the box on my lap and the soft sounds of some romantic comedy on Freya's IPad were enough to keep the walls of my mind from caving in. Freya sat c
~Jasmine~When the taxi pulled up to the Ivory Spire campus, I felt a tiny bit of relief. This was my territory. The minimalist buildings and the bustling students felt safe compared to that penthouse with three hot dudes. Freya paid the driver and we climbed out, our shoulders slumped with exhaus
~Jasmine~"I... I don't understand."My voice came out as a whisper, barely audible over the thrumming of my own heart. I sat there, my fork still hovering halfway to my mouth, paralyzed by the weight of three pairs of eyes, honey, blue, and bottomless dark all pinned on me with the same terrifyin
