Silver Lycan

Roman’s POV

Smug look on her face, her eyes glued on me like needless told me I needed to be very, very careful in how I answer.. “I know everything about Dragana.. she has been here for over 10 years, she has grown up in the pack” I said tactfully. I was not going to reveal any of my desires or feelings to Jasmine – Lycan Princess or not… Plus I was going to keep as much of my cards close to my chest – it sounded as if she knew something and perhaps playing it cool with her, I could discover something in the process. Jasmine was much older then me, and as a Lycan Princess she had vast knowledge and various resources at her disposal. Coupled with the fact that she was centuries old, even though that was not visible, maybe this conversation can prove to be useful – maybe she can tell me something of value, I reasoned with myself. “Perhaps, Jasmine knows how to amplify Dragana’s powers, or help in some way to her seeing through the veil, perhaps we can get our mate that way” Caleb said in my head and I had to agree with him. It was not like him to be reasonable – Caleb was a total monster normally, but I know how much he longed for a mate and was willing to even listen to fringe possibilities at this point …

Jasmine was nodding clearly amused.. “Indeed, she has grown up here.. Captive, no freedom, no coven, no real education on her powers - yeah but still has grown up here”.. There was sound of judgment and her eyes were examining me closely, almost drilling through. Her expression and her words, but especially her eyes made me sweat and be very uneasy.. “She has been treated well” I snapped..

“Yes, maybe little better than a house dog”, she said looking at her manicured fingers.. “Even a dog can leave and do what he wants from time to time, right? Yet you keep her here, in her golden cage. I am sure you have bought her all the clothes and jewelry she needs” she said, now clearly venom seeping in her words… There was something dangerous in her eyes – something I have never seen. It almost felt like a threat..

She was irritating me and she knew it.. Had she been anyone else, I would have already ripped their head off. The fact that I could not, and she knew that, was driving me crazy..

“Cat got your tongue, pumpkin?”.. she snarled at me, still looking at me with those eyes, the look I have never seen before..

“THIS IS ENOUGH JASMINE!!!” I roared.. “You will not come and disrespect me in my own home, in my own territory, unannounced, spouting bullshit, lies, undermining my authority over my own witch damn it, Lycan princess or not!!!!!”.. Caleb was getting seriously agitated and it took my whole willpower not to shift..

She suddenly changed and literally yawned unamused.. “Tsss Tss Tss.. look who has his panties up in the bunch.. oh Alpha King.. patience of 14 year old boy? Balls of one too?? Is that why you have no son.. as you are really not a man to do it???”… she smirked

That was it.. I completely and absolutely lost my cool – I saw read and Caleb was out for blood. I moved swiftly and jumped over my desk heading for her neck.. In one singular move she leapt up in air, grabbed my hair in the process, literally turning me upside down and pinned me down..

I was struggling, mid shift, Caleb ready to kill her, my pride, ego hurt and my head feeling like she will rip it off in one quick move or stomp it with her foot. Holding my neck with one foot, while she was again looking at her nails seemingly uninterested, Jasmine snickered..

“What is the matter pup? Did somebody get your chew toy?” she now laughed out loud..

Ever since I have become an Alpha, nobody has bested me. Not in combat, not in one on one, not on front lines. The fact that this Lycan, more importantly a she, bested me so easily, in my own home enraged me.. I was seething.. I wanted to kill her!!!!!!

“Now, when you are ready to pick your fragile little ego, and this.. err.. form… you call a man… she spat, lifting her high heel of my neck.. will you be ready to have an actual conversation???? And seriously, my “Alpha King” she said sneering.. I never bested your father.. Perhaps not all his energy went to his dick and screwing the whores around” she said looking at her fingers making way to my bar..

“Bourbon?”.. Coughing up, red in the face and getting up completely ashamed, my ego and my body hurt, I simply nodded..

Now, she looked me up and down as if she were disgusted with me, she passed me a glass.. “What do you know of Silver Lycan?”
