“You look so beautiful, my daughter,” Killian said. he stared at Jasmine with adoration in his eyes.

“Thank you, father,” Jasmine replied, smiling at her father beautifully. She could see how her father had aged, he looked even older than his age.

And there, she caught him glancing toward her mother again. She knew what happened between them, but her mother was very vogue about what she had to endure in his hand.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

However, that was enough for Jasmine to understand why her mother wanted nothing to do with Killian, if it was not for her.

She respected her decision.

“Can I have a dance with you, beautiful?” Killian asked, his focus was on Jasmine again. He was smiling, look genuinely happy for her.

“Of course,” Jasmine giggled.

It was a beautiful night, where Jasmine became the center of attention and people complimented her beauty. Aiden was happy to be there too and reminded her of the extra cake that he would receive.

As the future king, he had to go through strict education and watched what he ate, but today was a special occasion, right? So, extra sugar wouldn’t be a problem.

Needless to say, Jasmine dotted on her brother so much. Sometime, even more than her parent.

However, there was only one thing that kept bothering her mind right now, it was the fact that she had not yet found her mate. She always imagined this magical moment when she found him and how it felt to finally find your other half.

But, it seemed, she had to wait a little bit longer…

It was until alpha Lorent from Redwood pack of the north kingdom entered the room. He was late and he didn’t come alone. He came with his chosen luna. Their ceremony would be held in a week from now.

That was when Jasmine realized that he was her destined mate and she was not the only one, who realized that.

Alpha Lorent was stunned, he was petrified when their eyes met. For a brief moment, they stayed like that, as if the world that revolved around them had stopped and time was no longer ticking.

Jasmine gulped down with difficulty when she realized what happened.

However, the smile that bloomed in her lips when she realized, she had found her mate died very quick the moment a woman stepped beside alpha Lorent and looped her arms around his. She followed his line of sight and it seemed, it was not the two of them that realized what was going on.

That beautiful woman started tearing up and it snapped the alpha out of his reverie, which drew unnecessary attention toward them.

“What happened? Why she is crying?”

“What happened with her?”

“Is that Valerie? Alpha Lorent’s chosen mate?”

G.

“Are you okay, dear?”

People started talking, but none of them knew what was going on, since there was no word that was exchanged between alpha Lorent and Jasmine. They only stared at each other for a couple of second and thing escalated out of their control when they still tried to comprehend what was going on.

“Who is that woman, who dared enough to make a fuss in this occasion?” Killian growled. He was having his dance with his daughter, but was interrupted with this commotion, which made him mad. “I will go and check what’s going on.”

“No, please.” Jasmine snapped back to reality and then caught her father’s arm, she didn’t want him to leave her there.

Meanwhile, king Alex and queen Althea approached the commotion and people dispersed to make a path for the two of them, this made alpha Lorent panic a little bit, because the two figures came approaching him, while he was still consoling

his mate.

“Valerie, please don’t cry,” alpha Lorent said desperately.

“What’s going on here?” king Alex asked, his expression turned ashen. If this woman only came here to make a commotion, they should leave. This was not the place for them to pull such stunt.

“King Alex.” Alpha Lorent gave the two of them respect, but he could see princess Jasmine came approaching from behind. She looked so beautiful and her scent… her scent was heavenly, it made him weak in the knees.

“Let’s find a room to have a discussion,” Jasmine said, she looked calm and composed, despite the fact that Valèrie was glaring at her through her tears.

Alpha Killian followed behind her daughter. His eyes narrowed, he watched how everything was unfolded and hoped this was not what he was thinking.

Alex and Althea were confused, but they did what Jasmine asked them to do and find a room for their privacy, where they could talk about what was going on here.

“I want to go too,” Aiden said, he followed them, but Jasmine stopped him.

“I will stay with him,” Althea volunteered, she would hear what happened later. “The party is still in full swing, it will not look good if we left them.”

Althea didn’t want to stay in the same room with Killian and because he was a guest, he couldn’t stay behind too. But, Alex was there with their daughter, so she didn’t feel too worry about what was going on.

“Okay, thank you, Mom.” Jasmine kissed her mother, they exchanged a meaningful look.

Althea was curious why Jasmine took care this matter on her own when she didn’t have to, but from the look in her eyes, she knew this was something important.

“I want to be with Jasmine!” Aiden protested, but Althea had ushered him away.

Killian was the last person, who entered the room. He leaned his back against the door and watched everything unfolded. Storm in his face when he saw how that woman was crying and how uneasy the other alpha was. He was a young alpha, he must have chosen that woman to be his since he thought he wouldn’t find his mate

He knew that much because he was in his place before.
