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.
Cherry loooed over at Marie as she stood towering over her.
"What were you thinking?" Marie demanded.
"I needed to get rid of Aurora." Cherry eventually opened up. "She was going to find out that Jasmine was a member of the royal family. She would have told Xaden about where she came from and how she was not Luna Maria's wife. And you know Xaden. Xaden would have dug deeper. He would have discovered the entire truth and then it would have been the end. He would have discovered her mother everything would have come to the Open."
"So bloody what?" Marie asked as she gently put her fingers against her chin and held it tightly.
Cherry felt her teeth grind in pain as she tied her best to suppress how she felt.
"I was the one who put you on. Everything you have is because of me." Marie said. "I told you when it was time to collect I would. Do not forget that I am more powerful than you are. And I would be the most powerful that you have ever met."
