Chapter 16

Jasmine

"Hi." I said and they all stood up.

"How are you feeling now? Does your head still ache?" Nina asked and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"Y…yes, I am fine now." I replied.

"That is good, we need to go back to our homes now. We will come see you soon, if it is okay with your husband." Khloe said and I bent my head to hide my reddened face.

"It is okay but next time I will be coming with her anytime she is meeting the three of you." Romano said and I raised my head to look at him,I just couldn't believe him saying that.

"No problem, Alpha Romano. It would be our pleasure for us to hang out with you." Nina responded as they walked towards me and we hugged each other and they bid goodbyes.

Kenneth, Romano's friend appeared and it made me blush. I was embarrassed because of what I did last night. I don't think I will ever drown myself in alcohol again.

"What do you want, Kenneth?" Romano asked and he walked closer to me, he held my hand and I was shocked.

"You don't want to introduce me to your wife, Romano?" He said as he looked at me and our eyes met with each other, I averted my gaze immediately as I felt so uncomfortable.

My heart started beating too rapidly again as I thought about how he carried me last night. I felt embarrassed because of what I did last night. Goodness, I caressed his handsome face last night and that is the most embarrassing and the worst of it all is that he is my husband's friend. What a coincidence.

"No need, you any leave now, Kenneth. We will talk later." He said as he was pushing his friend away from me. Honestly, what is his problem?

"Hey, why are you pushing him away? Are you jealous?" I asked and he glared daggers at me.

"Shut up, Jasmine. I am not jealous and that is impossible." He replied and I just smiled bitterly.

But why did I ask him that? Why would Romano be jealous? He doesn't even care about me and he doesn't love me. So what would make him push his friend away from me.

"Fine, since you are pushing me away, I will leave. We will see each other later, take good care of your beautiful wife." Kenneth said as he walked away.

"You are so rude, Romano. Why did you push him away? He is your friend for goodness sake." I said and he furrowed his brows.

"Don't ever think that I am jealous. The reason I pushed him away is because I didn't want to know about me bringing women home." He said and sadness suddenly overwhelmed me. What is going on with me? Why am I hoping that he would be jealous? That's really impossible.

"I need to leave now, I forgot to thank him for bringing me home last night." I said to him and I was about to walk away when he grabbed my waist. He was looking at me like he wanted to strangle me and I clenched my fist in nervousness.

"What did you ask me earlier?" He said and I raised my eyebrows.

"Are you jealous?" I said without realizing my words. It is as if my mouth has its own world.

When I looked at him, his serious face turned into a playful smile and it made my heart skip a bit. Why is he smiling? This man changes his mood from time to time, maybe I need to get used to his attitude.

"What if I say yes, I am jealous, Jasmine." He said and my mouth wide opened, my heart skipped as I couldn't process the words he just said.

"W…..what?" I stuttered.

"I said, I am jealous. Are you happy now?" He asked and I turned my attention to him.

Wait a minute, did I hear him correctly? Alpha being jealous? Why and to whom? I really can't digest his words in my head. I felt astonished trying to digest his words because it sounded appalling to think about especially when it comes from a sex boy Alpha like him.

"You have got to be kidding me." I said, still focused my gaze on him, a playful smile plastered on his face that made me nervous.

"Do you want me to prove it?" He asked and he started walking towards me. My guard was cut off and I can't move my legs away from him. He wrapped his hand around my waist and it skipped my heart.

Romano wrapped his hand around my waist and it skipped my heart.

"We are late, we need to leave now, Romano." I said but he didn't listen to me as he lowered down his face and my heart was already beating loudly in my chest. I could smell his fragrant breath, the manly cologne he used and most especially his hot breath hit my face. Goodness, he is really turning me on. This man is disorganizing me.

"When I say I am jealous, I am damn serious about it." He said and I sighed deeply as I could feel my legs getting weaker.

"Apologies, Alpha Romano, everyone is waiting for you." Ashton said and it brought us back from our lust again. I stood still as my heart was still in chaos.

"Let us go, Jasmine." He said as he held my hand and I climbed because of the unexplainable tingling sensation I felt the moment he held my hand.

I followed him, still biting my bottom lips and I was trying to disregard the sensation I felt the moment he held my hand. This is wrong because I need to stop whatever I felt for him, it will only cause me more pain. I don't want to fall in love with him as long as I can still avoid it. I will do my best not to be caught in his trap.

Romano and I walked to where the car was parked and I don't know where our destination might be. He said earlier that we are going to stroll around the Pack and for some reason I was a bit nervous. I just hope that I can play my role very well. I tried avoiding talking to him in the car as I felt myself busy and finally the car stopped. I wandered my eyes around the surroundings and I suddenly felt awe seeing numerous houses everywhere.

"This is where the rogues stay." He said and I nodded. Rogues are those wretched and they are classified as the lowest rank in the Pack.

We stepped out of the car. I took a deep breath seeing the lives of the rogues, I felt so disheartened. Although I came from the middle class of the Pack, I still felt pity for them seeing the condition they were in. Werewolves and humans are living in the Pack. I am a human but I can interact with wolves too.

"Come, let's visit them." He said as we walked to the direction of the rogues. I was walking with him but I couldn't help myself but felt annoyed, he is walking too fast and I can't meet up with him.

"Jasmine." I heard and suddenly a strange woman approached me and held my hand. Seeing her face, her clothes and her eyes, it all seemed peculiar. The way her hair was in mess shows that she is in so much misery.

"How do you know my name?" I asked but she just stared at me like she was trying to read my mind.

"My name is Maya, the seer." She said and I couldn't understand her because she was acting so odd.

"Oh, hi Maya. What can I do for you?" I asked her.

"Pain, hatred and the truth will change your life. People you love will betray and hurt you but you have to be careful and protect yourself and also secure your heart because someone will break it apart. She said and my eyes widened. I could feel the rapid pumps of my heart on my chest because of what she just said.

"Wait, I don't understand. What do you mean?" I asked her.

"He will hurt you but at the same time, he will make you happy. You will undergo so much pain and struggles before you can achieve everlasting happiness." She said and my brain seemed spinning because of her declaration, I couldn't digest it.

"Maya, please enlighten me. What does all this mean?" I asked her in my calm tone but she only stared at me and didn't say another word. Then, someone called my name and I turned my head to see who was calling my name.

"Jasmine, what made you so slow?" Romano asked as I figured out that he was the one that called out to me. I turned back and noticed that Maya had disappeared.
