CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: WHAT'S LEFT BEHIND

JASMINE The Malvore territory felt so much quiet now. Other days I would see kids playing in the maze garden, or teens sparing in the east wing courtyard. Instead everyone stayed home and security was tighter, especially in the North wing. Everyone became solemn as their leader left for the meeting. After reading their history books, their behavior Is perfectly justified. Their leader can be assassinated like the former leaving them leaderless, to be divided by ravenous houses. Lucien left at dawn. I watched from the window as he entered car, vera dressed in a red formal dress entered the car behind him. Although they didn't enter the came vehicle, they still looked like the rightful Alpha and alpha female. I watched as his convoy pulled away, sleek cars slicing through the morning mist, sentinel guards surrounding him like iron shadows. Even through all this, he didn't look up. Not once. And why would he? He made it clear that night, I’m not his Alpha Female. Not his partner,

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: CONFRONTATION

JASMINE The pack house was buzzing with late morning chatter. The scent of grilled meat and fresh bread drifted from the kitchen, mingling with the crisp tang of pine from the open windows. Outside, the sound of pups laughing and splashing in the shallow stream behind the pack house filtered in like an old memory of home.....except this wasn’t home. My home to be exact. The pack house was practically the central Wing of the Malvore territory, housing mostly the teens and unmated youths. It had a huge cafeteria that could house the whole Malvore wolves. I sat at the long wooden table between Isla and Wyatt, Sloane leaning back in her chair across from us, balancing on two legs like she owned the place. Isla was nibbling on a pastry while Wyatt was in the middle of a story about one of the younger wolves trying to challenge him to a race and losing spectacularly. How mature. “You didn’t have to humiliate him,” Isla chided between bites, though the sparkle in her eyes betrayed her

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: MONSTER!

JASMINE " Why aren't you speaking?" I ask. Silence settling in the cafeteria.The girls looked gob smacked like this was the first time anyone has ever spoken to them that way." You waltz to my table like the whole world owes you money for even being alive and you confront me of finding my mate... Yet you don't have the decency to introduce yourself" I continue." Preach!" I try to hold in my laughter as someone shouts from the audience.The blonde haired girl looks at the Audience, trying to find the person who said that." Blondie, my eyes are here!"She looks back at me, indignant.At what?The fact that I stood up to them?I have been through a lot in house Malvore and I am not going to take this disrespect." How dare you speak to us that way, do you know who we are" Blondie screeches." No I don't!..... Why don't you introduce yourself, instead of screaming here like a shrew"" Period!" Sloane chimes in." Shut up half-ling " the baby faced twin spat out in disgust." Not in

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: GOODBYE LUCIEN

JASMINE " Monster" Vivian whispers in terror. " Just following my family's footsteps" I whisper back, knowing that deep down that Lucien's comments of me being like my biological father really got me. " Jas that's enough " Sloane say in a low tone. I'm very sure she's about to lose her breakfast, and if I do more, she would lose last night's dinner and won't have an appetite for lunch. " You three are to kneel here till 10pm, or till Lucien comes and release you. I've been told that my Alpha voice is stronger than most Alphas" I say. I look at Brittany whose blood Is already pooling on the ground, there is no good spot on her face, and her nails are still digging in deeper. " That's Enough Brittany" Brittany's hand fell in exhaustion, her body shaking from the pain that she's currently going through. The pain that Sloane would have gone through if I didn't do this. " Look at what you did to yourself" I tutted, now sounding like a villainess. "Maybe if you didn't have eyes m

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: ROGUES

JASMINE Sloane will be alright! I keep muttering in my head, it's been two hours since I successfully left the Malvore territory. I expected happiness to bubble up within me as I left but... Instead there's a deep void in my chest. Escaping also meant leaving Sloane behind, and we have been inseparable since highschool. I'm a horrible friend be leaving her alone, especially when she hasn't really figured out this shifter world properly. .... She hasn't even shifted yet! Another branch snap under my weight, echoing in the dark but green forest. I close my eyes to calm my nervous heart. There's obviously no one around, but if there is... There's no escaping, I'm doomed. Continuing eastward, I reach a large valley, which is obviously bad for me because the trees cover me and makes it easier to hide. Without it, I'm exposed to attacks. The Malvore territory has been coveted for hundreds of years. Greedy eyed wolves patrol the outskirts of the territory looking for a w

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: FEISTY LUNA

LUCIENThe drive back to Malvore territory was quiet. The silence made me rethink my situation with Jasmine.On one hand she is innocent of every crime I willingly put on her clean hands, on the other, her eyes remind me of the murderer that broke my family.I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding in, running my fingers through my hair, the feeling of exhaustion started creeping in as we approached the Malvore barrier.This is going to feel sticky.As we crossed the barrier, a slimy sensation went through me. As the head of house Malvore, I have direct connection with the barrier.Which means I feel when someone enters or leaves my territory. This has alerted us of rogue attacks and a lot worse. Unfortunately for me, this means that every time I go through The barrier, I feel like an animal slobbered all over me.My wolf growls lowly in my chest, I felt it too..... Someone just left the Malvore territory." Someone just left the pack unauthorized, check the westside

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: JASMINE!!!

LUCIEN " Monster!"From the corner of my eye, Vera slumps down to the floor, looking at these three girls in shock. As I looked closely, my footsteps stopped abruptly. The sight before me was… unexpected.The Price sisters were on their knees, legs already taking on a bruised, purple hue from hours of kneeling. One of them had deep grotesque claw marks littered around their face, and the injury was covered in crusty black blood, the skin around the injury was also black. An obvious sign of poison.My chest tightened. When I heard that she had purnished a she wolf, I hadn’t anticipated the severity. Yet, standing there, my mind could not help but admire the girl responsible.Jasmine.She hadn’t waited for me to sanction punishment. She had taken command, enforced respect, and made sure disrespect came at a price.Vera shakingly gets up and walks towards them, taking in their bruised form, she gently cups the face of the disfigured sister.A tear slips down the jagged cheeks of the

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

JASMINE I couldn’t feel my legs anymore.The world around me was a blur of snarls, teeth, and blood. My blood. The forest floor was slick beneath my palms as I dragged myself backward, lungs burning, body trembling, vision tunneling into black.This is it. This is how I die.A rogue loomed above me, its breath rancid, dripping saliva onto my face. My wolf whimpered weakly inside me, unable to rise. I shut my eyes, accepting the inevitable, until a sound split through the chaos." JASMINE!!!" In a flash the wolf attacking me was thrown off me by an even bigger and fiercer wolf. He was over six feet, fur as dark as midnight, sharp canines glimmering in the moonlight, promising a painful death.I didn't need an introduction to know who this was.Lucien.His wolf form is huge. As a wolf with the bloodline of the lycan king our progenitor, our wolf forms were so big and stronger than every other wolf shifter.Right now one of the strongest alpha is standing over me protectively. But befo

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

JASMINE It had been over a week since the attack.My body had healed thanks to my wolf’s regeneration, but the ache of humiliation lingered. Not because I was weak but because I’d forgotten how to shift .My body has forgotten how to shift.The one thing that should come as naturally as breathing, the essence of being a wolf-shifter, was locked inside me like a sealed door. Ever since Lucien brought me back, night after night I closed my eyes, willing the change to take me, but nothing happened. My wolf only whined in the back of my mind, a shadow of herself.And now, I was trapped.This is so humiliating.Lucien had moved me back to the North Wing, some changes were made to my room. Luxurious? Definitely.But a prison, and a heavily guarded luxury room is still a prison all the same. Iron bars had been fixed to the balcony, the cold metal mocking me every time I glanced at them.A gilded cage was still a cage.The heavy door creaked open, and Isla slipped inside, her honey-colore
