All Chapters of JASMINE'S CLAIM: THE ROYAL TRIPLETS AND THEIR MATE.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~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 terrifying, soul-piercing intensity.I looked from Caspian to Lucien, and then to the massive, tattooed frame of Kalean. My brain was short-circuiting. One mate was supposed to be a miracle. One mate was supposed to be the person who completed your soul. But three? At the exact same time?"You three... all of you…? But that's not... it's not possible."I felt my eyes darting frantically around the room, looking for some kind of exit, some kind of explanation. They landed on Sofia. But she too appeared shocked, Her jaw was practically touching the marble floor: pun intended, her spatula forgotten on the counter. She looked just as shocked as I felt. Behind her, Rhett was frozen, his tablet gripped

~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 cross-legged on her bed, a slice of pizza in one hand and a remote in the other, pretending to be deeply invested in the plot.We were both faking it.Every few minutes, I’d catch her glancing at me, her eyes full of the kind of worry and concern for me. After the run-in with Cecily and Diana we were just quietJust then,a sharp, firm knock at the door made us both jump. The pizza box nearly slid off my knees.My first thought was Cecily. She probably found out which room was mine and came to finish the job of making me feel like garbage. I stood up, ready to face her as my hands balled into fists by my side. If she wanted a fight, I was ready to give her one, maybe cause a commotion in sch

~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 protect the royal bloodline. To anyone else, he was just another student at the university, but to me, he was a shadow I could never shake off."I’m sorry, Kalean. It was out of habit."I finally turned, my dark eyes narrowing as I looked at him. Rufus was holding out my mobile phone, his expression as hard as the mountains we called home."I’ve finished unpacking your bags. And your father, the King, just sent a message."He held the phone out. I took it, Every time we moved back to school, the routine was the same. We couldn't just move around alone. My mother, the Queen, wouldn't allow it. That was her only condition for letting us be in Ivory spire; we had to take protection with us.

~Jasmine~ "Did you actually sleep at all, or were you just staring at the ceiling thinking about Caspian’s lips?" Freya whispered, her voice barely audible over the drone of the history professor. I shifted in my chair, my face heating up instantly. "I slept. A little. Mostly I just kept checking the lock on the door." "Smart girl," Freya chuckled, scribbling a doodle in the margin of her notebook. "Though I don't think a lock is going to stop a hot werewolf who wants a date." I tried to focus on the whiteboard, but my mind was a chaotic mess. My lips still felt a little swollen, and the spot on my neck where Caspian had breathed yesterday felt like it was permanently branded. But the flutter in my stomach wasn't just excitement; it was nerves. Today was our first class, the first day of the rest of my life, and so far, it felt like I was walking on a tightrope. The door to the lecture hall opened, and the room went silent for a split second. Cecily walked in, with two other

~Jasmine~“You had a date with me and you’re here with Lucien? Ouch. I’m hurt, little mate,” a voice smirked.I was just reaching for my phone then, when Caspian appeared in the cafe. His honey-colored eyes were bright, and he had that signature lopsided grin that made my heart do a clumsy somersault.“Come here,” he murmured. Before I could say a word, he reached down and pulled me up from my sitting position. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me so close that I could feel the heat radiating from his chest through my thin pink dress. I should have been annoyed. I should have been tired of being handled like a doll by these brothers. But as his arms closed around me, I felt my bones turn to liquid.I melted into him. I couldn't help it. He tucked his face into the crook of my neck, right next to the pulsing mark Kalean had left. He took a long, deep breath, drinking in my scent. Then, softly, so softly I almost missed it he pressed a warm, lingering peck directly onto the br
