Novel & Cerita The Jasmine Throne

The other six chairs surrounding it were already occupied. "Alpha Ciaran," said a dry, feminine voice. It was Amyra, the vampire queen. Her cold and calculating red eyes locked onto mine with amusement. "Countess Amyra." I bowed my head slightly, taking a seat at the table. Across from me, Zolaiah grunted in acknowledgement. The ogre king didn’t like formalities. His tusks jutted out from chapped lips, and his enormous bulk made his chair creak under him. "Let us begin," Rune Elarion, Princess Regent of the Bleeding Throne, said, her voice cutting through the tension like a blade.

She always loved it when Ria acted like a mother to her. "Oh my God, Jass. Your wedding is tomorrow. You shouldn't have gone for this job." By job, Ria meant Jasmine's position as an undercover assassin. Jasmine had been an assassin for six years, even before she came to New York City looking for greener pastures, as she said.

Only she would satisfy him. I curl my hand around her throat. Not the softest approach but, I have a feeling, the new Adriana wouldn’t like a soft treatment. Her pulse pounds against my hand. She isn’t struggling for breath since I wasn’t holding very tight. Aside from her widened eyes, she didn’t look very shaken. I inhale deeply when that sweet, sweet, musky scent replaces the citrus and vanilla I was used to. Her scent has a deeper note of jasmine when she is turned on. And she is right now.

Jasmine’s POV “You know exactly where I was planning to go, Adonis. Far away from here,” I yelled. Tears stung my eyes as my escape plan fell apart right in front of me. Adonis suddenly burst out laughing. The sound shocked me. It was loud and bitter, echoing through the room. “Jasmine, look around you. Everything has changed. You’re not the spoiled rich daughter of Jose Almonte anymore. You’re my wife now. This is your home. Not with anyone else, especially not Sebastian.”

The pack gathered in a clearing as the full moon rose, silvering everything in ethereal light. I stood at the center in a simple white dress, barefoot on the cool grass. Kade stood across from me in traditional Alpha formal wear, looking devastatingly handsome. Elder Margaret presided over the ceremony, her voice ringing out clear and strong. “We gather tonight to witness the bonding of Alpha Kade Blackthorn and Aria Silvermoon, last heir of the royal bloodline, Celestial Wolf.” She looked at us both. “This bond is sacred, eternal, and unbreakable. Do you both enter into it freely and with full understanding?”

No sooner as Tharo was gone Queen Jasmine made her way towards their table. "Hello Jason." "Hi Mrs." "Hello Jorkallun." "Hi Mrs." Jasmine smiled and faces the other two. "Hello, I am Jasmine, Dean's mother." The vampire Queen introduced herself. "It is a pleasure to meet you." Rae and Sarah both said at the same time. "Jason and jorkallun please can I have a word with the both of you privately?" "Sure." Jason reply standing up as Jorkallun also stood up. The three both walk out of the courtyard, walking towards the library, they entered the library.

"Don't play dumb, Ms Jasmine. We both know how this works. Crafty mind + a perfect opportunity. A formula to get rich quick." Tears pricked my eyes, and my heart clenched. "It wasn't like that," I said, my voice firm despite the tremor in my hands. He cut me off with a harsh laugh. "Spare me the sob story, Jasmine. You wouldn't be carrying my heir if it wasn't for the hefty sum attached." Heir. The word felt foreign on his tongue, devoid of the warmth she'd expected from a soon-to-be father. Jasmine felt a tear roll down her cheek, tracing a wet path on her flushed skin.

He reiterated my exact words defensively. "Do you not realize the implication of that? You've been in mermaid waters before." The only sound now was from Philip. Then I choked. "What?" I was the most curious. I mean, I had to be. I had almost no idea about myself so every little thing I discovered made me feel better. The scales on my back was on the list of things Tiberius and I kept from the council. And trust me, there was more. "You've been in mermaid waters." She repeated. "At some point in your life, you lived or visited mermaid waters so your blood automatically qualifies as antidote since you have a touch of mermaid."

In about a few hours, she was officially going to be Queen Jaque Davis of the Shadow Rock Kingdom. "Alpha Adam, Delta Marco is waiting for you!" Jasmine's knock nudged me one more time, making me scowl at the door. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror once again before I went to the door. Upon opening, Jasmine was already standing alert in her simple velvet dress, which I thought was not exactly her style. "Alpha, you look nice!" She formed an awkward smile.
