บททั้งหมดของ His Alpha-Uncle Is My Fated Mate: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

~Alpha Maverick~After realizing Jasmine wasn’t backing down on her argument, I watched her take the cab, frustration tightening my chest. I drove off to the meeting, my mind swirling with unresolved tension.My jaw ticked, and my hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as Logan’s request echoed in my mind.The issue had been closed and settled, yet here they were, dragging it back to the surface. I couldn’t understand their motive for coming here.I gritted my teeth in frustration. Why were they trying to provoke me when I’d been nothing but lenient with them? Why was Isabella making it seem like I had no regard for them anymore, as though I’d completely disregarded my responsibilities? What she was asking for, however, was nearly impossible.I shook my head, suppressing any creeping doubts. I had made my decision. If Logan wasn’t ready to prove himself worthy and fight for his position like everyone else, I wouldn’t force it.Soon, I arrived at the clinic and was met by the pack do

~Jasmine~Lost in thought, I was startled by a soft knock. “Come in,” I called, and the door opened to reveal Maverick. My breath caught. He wore a fitted white t-shirt that showcased the defined lines of his biceps, and my gaze trailed lower, lingering for a moment too long on the way his pajama pants draped across his groin. I swallowed hard, forcing my thoughts elsewhere.He ran a hand through his damp, dark hair, looking and smelling incredible. “Are you alright?” he asked, walking towards me. “I came to check if you needed anything and to let you know I’ll be working from home starting tomorrow, so I can keep a closer eye on you.”A frown creased my brow. What did he mean by that? Wasn't hiring a nurse enough? Why was he acting as if I was incapable of caring for myself? I wasn’t a child. Just because I was pregnant didn’t mean I couldn’t lift a finger. Was this out of concern or he just is up to something?I sighed, deciding to address the issue directly. “I understand I need re

~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

~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~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
