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.
Xaden very gently set down Jasmine in his bed.
He had taken her up to his room and Loren and the other guards followed in.
She was still and then he sat down by her side while Loren hovered trying to check on her.
Then he turned to the men. "Where is the blade that was used on her?"
Someone handed it and then Loren went back to examined it.
He looked at Xaden with uncertain eyes.
"I need space." Loren said. "I need the place to clear up and I need privacy."
Xaden stiffened instantly. "I am not leaving her."
"I did not ask you to." Loren shook his head. "I am just telling you to give me some private time with her. Your presence here is not easing any tensions I assure you."
Xaden was very much hesitant to leave.
"I will be quiet." Xaden promised. "You will barely even notice that I am here."
