JASMINE'S CLAIM: THE ROYAL TRIPLETS AND THEIR MATE. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

~Jasmine POV~"Umm, I am leaving you guys. I need to go to the cafe, call my parents, and get lunch," Freya said. "Call me when you're ready to leave, Jas". She winked at me before heading off. I wanted her to stay with me always, but then again, maybe a little privacy was better."She's smart," Lucien commented slightly under his breath. He was smiling in a way that made me blush, and I could not help but smile too."Where is it?" I asked, turning to face him fully. His blue eyes were twinkling with excitement."Someone is impatient, I see. Follow me," he said, he caught my hand and led me straight past the fountain, heading into the dense trees at the back of the campus. We kept moving past the thick shrubs. There were no signs or paths in case someone lost their way, but it was not like humans would wander this far into these trees anyway. The air grew quieter and cooler as we got close to a small stream.Tall trees created a thick canopy above us, and there was a fallen log ne

~Jasmine~I... I... Why had I even come in here? I asked myself.I gestured toward the door. "Umm... I will just leave." He was looking at me like I had grown two horns. I turned to leave, and just then it clicked, i I was here for a clean shirt! I turned back to ask him for it, only to find he was already standing too close, as if he had wanted to stop me from leaving anyway. Stepping back a few steps to create space between us, I said, “I'm here for a shirt. My clothes are sweaty,” looking at the bed instead of his face.He closed the distance between us again and reached out to cup my face with both hands, I looked up at him as he leaned in and kissed me. The moan that escaped my mouth sounded loud and hungry when his soft red lips took mine. His kiss was slow and deep, I traced my hands over his chest, caressing him, and he groaned into my mouth, the kiss deepened as he tilted my face to a better angle, pushing me backward until my towel fell loose. I was too engrossed in th

~ Jasmine~I pushed away from his face to study him. What did he know? What did he see? He shook his head, trying to hold back a smile or a giggle—I didn't know which."I can hear you loud and clear, princess," he said softly."Your thoughts," he explained further when I gave him a blank look."What?" I said, panicking. "How? Why?""It's the mating bond between us. We share our feelings. I see what you paint in your head; I feel your fear, your confusion, everything.""That's the power of a complete mate bond?" But Kelean... I said, Then remembered, A complete bond!!! I hadn't marked Kelean back, so that bond was incomplete. I looked up into Lucien's eyes, trying to read him, but I couldn't feel anything. "I can't read your thoughts, mind, or feelings. Why?" I asked."Well, I blocked my mind to keep it private."My eyes widened in surprise. "—You blocked yours, but you can feel mine?!" I shrieked in mock rage as I slapped against his bare muscular chest. The sheet I used to wrap

~Jasmine~I forced myself to sit up on the clinic bed as soon as he left, but as I tried, I felt pain everywhere. Sofia and Freya ran to my side immediately, helping me as I rested my back on the pillow stacked behind.Freya moved away, mixing a powdery substance into a glass of water, she brought it to me after swirling the mixture properly, I looked into her eyes they were filled with worry."Here, drink this. The healer told you to finish it."I took a gulp from the glass. The substance was very bitter, I almost threw up, "No, I can't. It's bitter," I pushed the glass away feeling completely exhausted."But it will help you get better," Sofia persisted, folding her arms tight around her body, "unless you want to be here for days."I took the glass cup back and forced myself to finish it all, gagging at the awful taste, I really hate feeling this way and the thoughts of spending more time in this clinic was worse, "You're so lucky, you know?" Freya said smiling softly as she too

~Jasmine~"Hey, is everything okay with Caspian?" Sofia whispered to me, "I'm not really sure what's wrong, to be honest. I don't think it's because of me, though, because he walked out of the clinic looking absolutely furious," I replied, trying to make sense of his sudden departure."Yes, I noticed that too," Sofia said softly, moving to help guide my other side, she frowned looking forward "Something definitely seems off with him."I really didn't know what to think, so I made a mental note to ask him about it later, whenever everything finally calmed down.We drove back to the dorms in a tense silence. Once we arrived, Freya immediately stepped up to help me pack my things, to my absolute surprise, she was in full support of my moving into the penthouse. The freya I know would have questioned it, but today was different. I sat on the edge of the bed, watching through with fatigue as she neatly folded and packed a few of my clothes into my small travelling bag."Seriously, J
