Jasmine is the first daughter of the great Alpha Bale. Because of her status as a bastard child, she lives a life maltreated scrubbing floors and attending to the needs of her father, step mother, step siblings and the entire pack. But her life makes a drastic turn when she is switched in place for her father’s legitimate daughter to be married off to the Handsome and Cold hearted Alpha Xaden. Xaden is determined to punish Jasmine for the sins of her father who had massacred his entire family, even though she is nothing like her father. Hate slowly turns to desire, fierce passion and finally love. But what happens when Xaden discovers that Jasmine, was planted as a spy to bring his downfall and was not in fact the original princess he was promised to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Let this be a lesson to everyone. Royal or not, Alpha or Omega," He declares. "You will steer clear of what is mine. In my own territory. In my pack." With that, he tosses the bloodied arm aside and takes Jasmine away from their shocked gaze.
Uther and all the other wolves looked up at Xaden unable to speak.
They were even unable to gaze at him.
It was like he was making them bow down to him and only him.
All except Jasmine was compelled to obey him.
Because she stood by his side.
The room was silent.
And then his wolf eyes went back to its normal color and the people around began breathing normally.
Then he looked at his uncle who had disappointment written in his eyes.
"Uncle." Xaden said. "You are my flesh and blood."
Uther turned his face away refusing to look at Xaden.
It hurt Xaden to see his uncle hurt this way.
He was the last tie that he had to his family and yet seeing him refuse to even acknowledge him.
Xaden continued. "This is a decision that I have made. And it will continue to be a decision that I have made. You are not happy with them and I understand you."
He swallowed hard.
