JASMINE

My heart drops painfully into my stomach.

“The Alpha King has heard rumors of the impossible bond.”

The words echo endlessly inside my head while fear creeps slowly through my body.

Impossible bond.

That’s what they’re calling us now.

Not mates.

Not people.

A phenomenon.

A problem.

I instinctively take a small step backward, but Maverick immediately notices. His body shifts slightly in front of mine protectively, almost like a shield separating me from the rest of the world.

Jax growls

    JASMINE“The cursed Luna belongs to the Shadow Wolves.”The words hit me like ice crawling down my spine.I stand frozen near the top of the staircase while silence crashes through the entire pack house below.Cursed Luna.The title alone makes my stomach twist painfully.My wolf whimpers softly inside me.Danger.Every warrior downstairs immediately becomes tense while growls echo throughout the hall.But Maverick…Maverick looks absolutely terrifying.His silver eyes glow dangerously bright while his Alpha aura suffocates the entire room. Even from upstairs, I can feel the pressure of his anger pressing against my skin.Jax is furious.“Kill him.”The rogue laughs weakly despite the warriors forcing him onto his knees. Blood stains his mouth, but somehow he still looks proud of himself.“You should hand her over willingly,” he spits. “Before worse things happen.”Maverick moves so fast I barely see it.One second he’s standing several feet away.The next second his hand is wrapped t

    MAVERICKI’m just as broken as she is.The realization settles heavily between us after my confession.Jasmine stares at me silently, her beautiful blue eyes filled with emotions I can’t fully read. Sadness. Confusion. Understanding.And maybe… comfort.The hallway suddenly feels too small.Too quiet.Too intimate.Jax is unusually calm inside me now.“She understands us.”Maybe she does.For the first time since the bond formed, I don’t feel like I’m speaking to someone who only sees me as a burden forced into her life by fate.She sees my grief too.And somehow that makes this strange connection between us even more dangerous.Because emotional bonds become real long before romantic ones do.Jasmine lowers her eyes first.“I should rest,” she whispers softly.I nod immediately despite the strange disappointment curling inside my chest.“Yes. You’ve had a long day.”I open the door to her room for her, but before she enters, she suddenly pauses.Then quietly asks:“What was her name?

    JASMINEThe moment my fingers tighten around Maverick’s hands, realization crashes into me instantly.I let myself reach for him.Willingly.Heat rushes to my face immediately, and I quickly try to pull my hands away in embarrassment.But Maverick doesn’t let go immediately.His silver eyes remain locked on mine, calm yet intense enough to make my heartbeat stumble strangely.Jax purrs softly inside him.“Mate chose us.”The strange warmth spreading through my chest terrifies me.Because for the first time since Alex died…I don’t feel completely broken.And that thought alone makes guilt slam into me immediately afterward.I finally pull my hands back gently and lower my gaze.The room suddenly feels too quiet.Too aware.Selene notices everything.I can feel her eyes on us.Sharp.Unhappy.Then she suddenly laughs softly, breaking the tension.“Well,” she says lightly, “looks like the bond is progressing quickly.”The comment makes me uncomfortable instantly.Maverick’s expression h

    MAVERICKThe second the royal messenger bows to Jasmine, every instinct inside me explodes violently.Jax snarls aggressively.“Why is he bowing to our mate?”I don’t know.But I already hate it.The messenger slowly straightens, his golden eyes remaining fixed on Jasmine with an intensity I deeply dislike.Jasmine herself looks completely confused beside me. Her body stiffens slightly under my hand while unease rolls off her scent.Good.At least I’m not the only one suspicious.“The Alpha King has been searching for you,” the messenger repeats calmly.My aura immediately darkens.“For what reason?” I ask coldly.The messenger finally shifts his attention toward me.“To deliver a royal summons.”Absolutely not.The answer rises instantly inside my head before he even finishes speaking.Jax growls dangerously.“No one takes mate.”The messenger reaches into his coat before pulling out a scroll sealed with black wax and the royal crest of the werewolf kingdom.“The Alpha King requests

His body shifts slightly in front of mine protectively, almost like a shield separating me from the rest of the world.Jax growls softly inside him.“Protect mate.”The warrior standing at the door lowers his head nervously.“The messenger is waiting downstairs, Alpha.”Maverick’s jaw tightens dangerously.“How much does he know?”“I’m not sure, Alpha,” the warrior admits quickly. “But he specifically asked to see the female.”A cold chill runs down my spine instantly.The female.Not even my name.Elder Miriam suddenly grips her cane tightly.“That’s bad,” she whispers.Selene folds her arms again, though this time she lo

    MAVERICK Silence suffocates the room after Jasmine speaks.“The bond has awakened.”The words settle heavily in the air like a death sentence.Jax is pacing wildly inside my head now.“She saw something.”I know.And judging from the fear in Elder Miriam’s eyes, whatever Jasmine experienced is far worse than any of us realize.Jasmine looks shaken to her core. Her breathing is uneven, and she keeps staring at the shattered glass on the floor like she’s terrified another vision might appear.Instinctively, I move closer to her.Immediately, her scent shifts slightly.Safer.Calmer.Jax notices too.“She trusts us.”The realization hits me strangely hard.Despite everything happening, despite how confused and afraid she is… some part of her already feels safe around me.And that dangerous possessiveness inside me deepens further.Selene suddenly breaks the silence with an irritated scoff.“This is ridiculous,” she says while crossing her arms tightly. “A few visions and an old prophecy
