"Thank you for doing this." Nicolai said to Jasmine. He's just brought her to see one of the best licenced therapist in the city."I know I need help, and I'm happy that I'll be getting that help, so you're the one that I need to thank for helping me with this." Jasmine smiled."It's nothing."A nurse interrupted them, calling out, "Miss Jasmine?"Jasmine raised her hand, and the nurse beckoned her to follow. "The doctor is ready for you.""I can't go in with you, so I'll be here waiting for you."Jasmine instantly felt so nervous when he said that. "A...are you sure you can't go in with me?" She asked, her voice trembling.Nicolai's hand covered hers, his touch warm and calming. "I promise you'll be okay. Just focus on your session, and I'll be here, waiting for you," He said softly.''Don't leave okay?''Nicolai chuckled softly. "I won't." He promised.Jasmine took a deep breath, letting Nicolai's words soothe her. She nodded, and with one last glance at Nicolai, she followed the nu

Nicolai returned to Jasmine's room, his footsteps quiet on the floor. Jasmine was fast asleep, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. Nicolai's gaze lingered on her peaceful face, and a small smile crept onto his lips.He first took away the chair beside her bed, then he carefully slid into bed beside her, taking care not to disturb her. As he settled in, he reached out and gently took her hand in his. Jasmine's hand was warm and soft, and Nicolai felt a surge of tenderness towards her."I'm sorry, Jasmine.'' He whispered, his voice barely audible. "I'm sorry for everything." Nicolai's eyes drifted shut, and he let out a slow breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over him.As he held Jasmine's hand, Nicolai felt his eyelids growing heavy, and he eventually drifted off to sleep.Jasmine's eyes fluttered open, her gaze locking onto Nicolai's peaceful face. She had been awake since he slipped into bed beside her, his gentle movements and soft breathing a soothing serenade.

''Please go in, I'll join you soon," Nicolai said to Jasmine, opening the door to his office for her. Jasmine thanked him and stepped inside, and Nicolai closed the door behind her."May I ask what Mr. Holland did to make you lose your temper like that?" Kent asked, his voice calm and measured.Nicolai's gaze narrowed, his eyes flashing with anger. Kent swallowed nervously but continued, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do you realize you could have killed that man if Jasmine hadn't intervened? You would have also risked exposing the supernatural world to humans!"Nicolai's glare made Kent's heart skip a beat, but he summoned the courage to press on. "I don't care if you're going to kill me, but I have to speak the truth."Nicolai's expression darkened, but he took a deep breath and explained, "His company is on the verge of bankruptcy, so he came to me for help, asking me to partner with him to save his company. I would have agreed if he hadn't asked me to marry his daughter as wel

While Nicolai and Jasmine were both enjoying their meal, a lady walked up to them. Her long, curly brown hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her piercing blue eyes seemed to gleam with an inner light. Her elegant black evening gown hugged her curves in all the right places, making her a stunning vision as she approached Nicolai and Jasmine's table."Nicolai Devan." She said, her husky voice confident and self-assured. "I've heard so much about you."Nicolai's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up from his plate. "Do I know you?" He asked, his tone polite but cautious.Arianna's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "I'm Arianna Holland." She said. "My father is... acquainted with you."Nicolai's expression turned guarded, and he dropped his cutlery. "I remember your father.'' He said curtly.Arianna's eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and wariness. "I apologize if my presence is inconvenient.'' She said. "I wanted to acknowledge my father's.

"Y...you and Jasmine kissed?" Kent stuttered, unable to believe his ears. He stared at Nicolai for a while, his expression unreadable, then he burst into laughter.Nicolai looked at him, confused. "What's so funny?" He asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice."Come on." Kent said, struggling to hold back his laughter. "I thought you said you weren't going to accept the mate bond, and you two will just be good friends, so what happened?" He asked. "See, Nick. I knew you couldn't resist the mate bond, so why don't you just accept it and be with her.""Because I can't!" Nicolai replied with gritted teeth. "I already told you. What happened between us was a mistake, I...it's just the mate bond pulling us together, and that's why it happened. I never meant to kiss her."Kent heaved a deep breath, getting serious. "Are you sure about that? Are you sure that it's just the mate bond pulling you two together? Are you sure you don't—""I don't." Nicolai cut him off. "And don't you even dare com
