Aeron Planning to spend the entire day with Jasmine was a bold step. It was my way of moving forward with what we have. I wasn't sure if it was the right move or if it was advisable, but I knew I would not rest until I followed my heart. Jasmine paid attention when I told her red was my favourite colour. Seeing her red lace underwear in the warehouse office drove me completely insane. I might have taken her on the spot, but there was no rush in things. I had planned the day, and I hoped to follow through. She had also been very nice and peaceful all morning; I guess the tension between us was why she lashed out most of the time. When Uncle Yusuf linked me to inform me of the shipment. I was angry because I didn't plan to work that day. Nonetheless, it needed inspection, precisely what I was doing now in the warehouse. I had left Jasmine in the office and promised her I wouldn't be long, but seeing the ammunition crates, I doubted if I could keep the promise. "Let's skip this shit
Aeron Talk about cock-blocking. I was mad about Leonard's timing. I was really hoping to get into things with Jasmine. I needed to dismiss the fucker now. I was glad I hadn't taken her to my room to see the surprise I had laid out. I hoped Julia had followed my instructions and fixed the place up. I stepped away from Jasmine, and she looked at me with longing and disappointment. She was feeling exactly the same way as I did. I looked at her apologetically and strolled towards the door. Leonard stood there with a tinge of annoyance on his face. I didn't give two fucks about his feeling because he had just interrupted my plans. "So?" I said. "Didn't know you started bringing girls home. I guess Mathia's absence forced you to change your routine," He teased, moving past me to enter. He froze when he saw who was in the living room. "Jasmine?" He asked. She had a nervous smile on her face. "Hey, Leonard," She said, and he looked at me, trying to piece things together. "Well, I gue
Jasmine Everything had happened so fast; I didn't imagine that Aeron would go all the way, but his need to own and have me seemed just as strong as mine. It was a pleasant surprise, and I wished I had the magic to rewind and live the moment repeatedly to experience his touch, the way he handled me and his dirty words. Sitting between his legs in the tub with my body leaning against him made me feel safe and wanted. All I wanted was to remain in his arms. He caressed my shoulders gently while he used his teeth to graze my neck and nibble the shell of my ear. It sent a wave of pleasure through my body, and I was coming apart already. This man would be the death of me, and maybe he knew it. He was getting into it when suddenly he froze. I turned to look at his face. His eyes were glazed over, which meant he was communicating with someone. I waited a bit for him to finish, and then he pulled me close to his body. "Princess," he whispered in my ear, and I froze a bit because his deme
Aeron Leaving Jasmine was very hard. I wished the trip to Woodland could have waited till morning, but it seemed pretty urgent. If, indeed, people from Pictoria had washed up on the shore, then we had a cause for alarm. Jasmine had held her tears and tried to seem as if she was okay with my trip. My hope was to return as soon as possible. I had never felt so light and wanted in my entire life. Throughout my day with Jasmine, memories of my haunted past did not flood my mind. I was free and alive. A feeling I would always crave. It was as if her presence quieted the noise. As I walked away from her room, I knew we had opened a new chapter. The fear of disproval from her folks and mine gnawed at me, but I had tried long enough and resisted her long enough, but not anymore. She was meant for me, and I had tried to fight it, but who was I kidding? It was always going to come to this. It was best I embraced it now. "Told you you wouldn't win," Razor growled in my head, satisfied by
Aeron There was a silence in the room. Laila stared at me as if she had seen a ghost. Monsoor, her brother, kept his eyes on me. They had dark circles around their eye. They looked malnourished. I could not tell if it was their time at sea that had caused it or if it was the way they grew up in Pictoria, but something was wrong with their health. Laila was crying. "You said you would come back for us," She said, weeping. I didn't want to remember those days, but her tears were forcing me down memory lane. The pain, the trauma, the promises. We promised each other many things back then, but who was I to keep them? I was just seven years old. "Laila, behave," Monsoor warned her sternly, and she wiped away her tears and composed herself, but the sadness in her eyes remained. "How did you find your way here?" I asked them, trying to feel for a lie. Moonsoor widened his eyes. "An alpha?" He said, recognising my command, and I nodded. Being an Alpha in Pictoria was a big deal. T
Jasmine.Returning to sleep was difficult after that vivid dream, so I opted to wash the stench of smoke from my skin. The dream lingered in the recesses of my mind, refusing to fade like a haunting melody. I stumbled to the bathroom, half-awake and disoriented, the remnants of the dream casting a surreal haze over my reality.The water felt refreshing as it cascaded over me, a feeble attempt to wash away not only the physical residue of smoke but also the unsettling images that clung to my thoughts. I didn't know if it would be wise to discuss this with anyone or keep it to myself. The dream was a vivid tapestry woven with emotions and details that felt too personal, too intimate to share.As the water swirled down the drain, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles clung beneath my eyes, testament to the restless night and the disquieting dreams that had plagued my sleep. I had experienced vivid dreams time and time again, but this was the first instance where I would wa
JasmineJulia and I decided to divert our plans and pay the girls a visit instead. The mere thought of encountering Trevor left a bitter taste in my mouth. While I had initially consented, it was solely for a make-out session with him, not his friend. My frustration with Aeron fueled my decision to distance myself, to move on from the complicated emotions that lingered between us.Reflecting on my actions, I could now see how they might be perceived as foolish. In that moment, it had felt like a desperate attempt to escape the clutches of Aeron's influence. However, I was grateful for my failure because, deep down, I knew that even if Trevor had been sincere, I wouldn't have been able to reciprocate genuine feelings.As we strolled toward the cells, Julia glanced at me, a knowing expression in her eyes."I can understand why you'll pass on Trevor. I would do the same, really. Just so you know, Aeron took care of him and his friends quite thoroughly," she shared with a mischievous grin,
JasmineI could not believe that my brother and parents were home. It was surreal. Breaking away from my father's embrace, I hugged my mother. She looked a bit pale, but I knew she was okay. Staying long in the sun-deprived kingdom of Snow could do that to you. Hopefully, she will get some sunlight and tan now that she is back."You look very happy, Jasmine," my mother said, touching my cheeks. We moved towards the staircase and ascended."Where is Ivory?" My father asked."At grandma and grandpa's house. I was going to check on her," I said."Aeron?" Mathias said, looking at me."On assignment in Woodland. He and Qusack left yesterday. Khalid and Yusuf joined them today. No one told me what was happening," I said, and there was a silence. It seemed my father already knew what was happening. Of course, he would know. I am sure Qusack called him in Snow. Maybe that is why they returned early.The atmosphere in the house was a mix of joy and unspoken tension. The warmth of my family's pr
