Chapter 114

Jasmine

"Really? You are not an asshole anymore? Can you promise me that you won't kill again?" He stopped the car because of my question.

"I can't promise that…" I shook my head at him.

"I will kill those that caused hindrance to our love. I will kill those that are planning to harm you and our son, Jasmine." He added and my heart pounded rapidly because of his response.

Maybe someday when the right time comes, I can forgive him if he proved himself to me. It may take time but I know I will eventually forgive him for all the things he did to us.

"You know what, Romano, I couldn't have imagined that you would betray me. You promised so many things to me that whatever happened, you will always be loyal to me but look what happened. All your promise turned into nothing. Our relationship was almost perfect." He seemed to be in pain and hurt because of what I said.

"It is all because of my fault, Jasmine. You did nothing wrong that caused me to be cold towards you. It was all my fault because I let my anger overpowered me." He admitted in front of me that it was his fault. Seriously, I couldn't believe it and my heart melted because of what but u stopped myself from showing any emotions towards him.

"I am glad that you admit that it was your fault, Romano." He sighed.

"You know what, Jasmine. I am the happiest Alpha in this town now…" He paused as he held my hand. I wanted to pull it away but his grip was tight.

"It is because you are not treating me coldly again. I just wanted to remind you that I will always love you even at the end of my life." Tears streamed down my eyes because of what he said. It was as if he was saying goodbye already.

"Shut up, Romano." I said to him as I wiped the tears off my face.

"You are crying, Jasmine?" He asked and was about to hold my chin when I slapped him in his face. All I thought was that he would scold me but he didn't.

"We should keep going because I am already late and please stop talking nonsense, will you?" He nodded his head as he started the engine of the car and we continued our journey to the office. I felt guilty slapping him earlier.

"I love you, Jasmine." My heart almost jumped out of nervousness because of what he just said. I turned my gaze towards him and he was staring at me.

I felt my body stiffened and I didn't know how to respond to him. I wanted to tell him that I love him too but why the hell am I going to do that? He hurt my feelings and I should stop myself from falling into his charms again like what happened in the past. Although I felt so good to hear I love you from the man I loved, I should put in mind that those words came from a man that always hurts my feelings.

Those words came from a man that made my heart cry in pain for almost three years. My whole body including my heart nearly gave up when he said I love you but I pushed myself not to be weak.

"I can't wait for you to respond, I love you too." Romano said to me and my heart wanted to burst out of my chest because of what he said.

"Shut up, Romano. I have been told that it will never happen. I won't let myself fall into your trap, not this time." He heaved a deep breath.

"I know it is hard to trust me again because of my actions in the past but I am still hoping that a time will come and you will open your heart for me again. I am such an idiot for hurting you so many times but I swear to you that I have regretted my actions, Jasmine. I am here to fix all my mistakes. I have been the worst Alpha you have met but trust me, this Alpha king truly loves you." I wanted to smile because of what he said but I stopped myself from doing so. I won't show him that I am affected by his words.

"We better keep going because I am already late with my first meeting." He nodded as we continued. We were still far from my office so I remained quiet to stop him from talking nonsense.

In just a few minutes, he matched the break of the car without lowering the speed. My head almost hit the window and I was about to scold him but my mouth agape from what I saw. A group of men were blocking our path. My heart beat quickened thinking who they could be based on how they were staring at us. I knew that they were an enemy.

"Damn it." Romano cussed which made me turn my gaze towards him. His eyes were towards them and the way he clenched his jaws, I knew he was mad.

"W…what is happening, Romano?" I asked in my stuttering tone. He looked at me and his eyes seemed worried.

"They are an enemy, Jasmine. I need to fight then or else we can't escape here alive." His response made me nervous and my legs trembling in fear. He placed his hand on mine as he stared deeply into my eyes.

"What should we do now?" I asked him and he let out a deep sigh before responding.

"Everything would be fine, Jasmine. Just promise that you won't step out of the car. Let me take good care of them, do you get it?" I nodded my head at him.

"How about you?" I asked him, worriedly. He was alone and there were so many waiting for us to get out of the car. I am afraid that he can't beat them all alone. I need to help him.

"I will be fine, Jasmine and don't worry about me because I can beat them all." I wasn't convinced with his words. Yes, he is the Alpha king but I am afraid that his enemies had something that can bring him down. I am afraid that his life might be in great danger.

"I will help you, Romano." I said to him and I was about to open the car door but he stopped me. He held my chin and brought my face closer to his, I was shocked by what he did next. He kissed me on the lips which made tears streamed down my eyes.

"Don't be a hard-headed Jasmine. When I say stay inside the car, you better obey, okay? Just trust me and I will be fine." He broke the kiss to say those words to me. He stepped out of the car and I was left dumbfounded. I was brought back from my deep thoughts when I heard a howling of wolves outside the car. They have already transformed into their wolf form and Romano as well.

I almost lost my sanity when Romano began to attack them. He used his long claws and his sharp teeth to kill them. My heart pounded inside my chest when one of their heads flew in front of our car. Romano killed them like a monster and there was no doubt that he is truly the Alpha king of the Pack.

I was watching him kill all the enemies. My heart skipped when I saw a man appear behind him. Before Romano could notice that someone was behind him, the man already stabbed him from the back. Tears streamed down my eyes.

"Romano!" I screamed as I got out of the car. The remaining enemies had already run away when they saw Romano collapse on the ground. My legs were trembling in fear but I tried my best to come near him.

"Jasmine…why did you come out of the car?" He asked while in pain. Blood was gushing out from his wound and my heart seemed crushed seeing him in this situation.

"I will take you to the hospital, Romano." I said as I was about to help him stand up but he stopped me.

"No, just take me to my house, Jasmine. I can cure myself." I nodded my head. His life was in danger, I never thought that someone would attack him from behind.

"You are losing so much blood, Romano. I need to take you to the hospital." He shook his head and cupped my face with his hands instead which made me sob. I felt so terrified seeing his condition now. I am scared of losing him because I still love him so much.

"I am fine, Jasmine. If this is the end of my life, please always remember that you are the only woman in my heart. I love you so much, Jasmine and I love our son as well. Please forgive me for all the things I have done to you and our son. This may be the compensation for all the pain I caused you." I cried more in pain because of what he said.

"Please stop saying that, Romano. Nothing will happen to you." I successfully helped get up and put him inside the car. I drove the car and my hands were trembling in fear.
