Chapter 88

Jasmine

I don't know how to comfort him, he has experienced a lot because of them and I can't blame him for not helping them but I will try my best to convince him. It is already in the past and the fault of their former leader shouldn't be labeled on his people.

"They are indeed of your help, Romano. The innocent children of these creatures don't deserve to be punished. If their leader did something in the past, we shouldn't involve his people. They are calling you for help." I said and he looked deeply into my eyes. My heart pounded inside my chest for what could be his response.

"I don't care, Jasmine and stop trying to convince me to help them if you don't want me to be mad with you." He responded and my mouth was wide open. I know how angry he is now.

"Romano, I care for innocent children. If you don't want to help them then I can offer myself for help." I said in my courageous tone and he looked at me with his blazing eyes.

"You are helping them? What kind of help or maybe you are considering offering yourself to their leader!" He said to me and I slapped him on his face and tears streamed down my face because of what he just said to me.

"What did you just say to me, Romano?" I asked in my crying tone.

"Look, I am sorry. Please, I didn't mean to say that to you, Jasmine." He said and was about to hold me but I dodged him.

"I hate you!" I screamed as I ran away from him. He hurt my feelings with his words. He thinks that the kind of help I was referring to was giving myself in to those creatures. That really hurt, you know.

He didn't think I must have felt before saying those words. I was running away from where we camped, although it was dark but I didn't care.

"Damn it!" I screamed in pain when I fell on the ground as my left foot hit a hard rock. I touched my feet and my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I noticed blood gushing out from the wound. Tears streamed down my face again when I noticed that I had no idea about my location. I didn't notice that I had already ran far away from the camp.

"Goodness, Jasmine." Romano arrived at where I was and it made me sob even more.

"Romano.." I called his name as tears were still streaming down my face. He hugged me and I cried in his chest.

He followed me and it seems like the anguish I felt towards him faded away the moment he hugged me. I really love him and I will always understand him. He said those words to me because he is angry, he is angry for what those creatures did to him and his father in the past.

"I am deeply sorry, Jasmine and I swear, it wasn't my intention to say those words to you." He said to me but I still continued crying. He hugged me and rubbed his hand on my back, trying to comfort me.

"You must always try to control your anger, Romano, because you hurt me with your words. I was only trying to help them." I said and he wiped the tears off my face as he tried to get my attention. I stared into his ocean blue eyes and all I could perceive was worries. He was worried about me as I ran away from him.

"I am truly sorry, Jasmine. Can you still forgive me? If you want you can punch me because I am such a jerk again." She said and to my surprise tears streamed down his face. He is crying now and my heart shattered seeing him in tears.

"You know I can't hurt you, Romano. I hope next time you won't use such words on me. I said to him and he cupped my face with his hands and then stared deeply into my eyes.

"I will try, Jasmine but I am scared to promise now. I am scared that I will break my promise. Trust me, I am trying my best." He said and a smile curled up to my lips because of what he just said. His explanation was enough for me to forgive him. It is just a misunderstanding. I love him and I can't afford to be far from him.

"It is okay, Romano. At least you are trying your best. You know I met you being arrogant, womanizer, heartless, ruthless and so on. You shouldn't act perfect in front of me because I love your imperfections. The way Romano Kelvin loves me is far different from other men I have known." I said and it made him bite his lips. He is trying hard to stop himself from sniffing.

"I never regret having you in my life, Jasmine and I never regret that I opened my heart for you. Regardless of what terrible events I have gone through in the past, I am still lucky to have someone like you. You are my weakness, Jasmine and losing you will be the powerful Alpha Romano Kelvin's downfall." He said and my mouth opened widely. I can't believe what he just said to me.

I, his weakness? Goodness, it shouldn't be. I won't agree that I am his weakness because I am scared that the enemies will use me against him.

"Don't say that, Romano. Please don't tell me that I am your weakness. Please don't say that again." I said but he just smiled as he held my chin.

"Believe it or not, Jasmine. You are truly my weakness. My life has no meaning when you are not with me." I lost my first mate and I can't afford losing my second mate again." He said and my eyes became teary.

"It can't be, Romano. Don't consider me as your weakness because I am not worthy to become your weakness. I am just your replacement mate and you shouldn't consider me your weakness because that would be alarming especially if the enemies knew about it." I said and he just smiled. He kissed the back of my hand before speaking.

"I rather lose my my wealth, all my powers and my position than losing you, Jasmine. You are the precious and priceless thing I have and I am not going to allow anyone to harm you. If anyone tried to touch you, I will become a monster and kill them all." He said and my eyes become teary again because of his words. I still can't believe that he will love me this way.

I closed my eyes when he wiped the tears off my face. He grabbed my body and embraced me again. He checked my wound on my feet as he tore his shirt to cover the wound.

"I am so clumsy for not seeing the sharp rock." I said and he sighed.

"It is my fault Jasmine. If I didn't hurt you with my words, you won't have his wound." He said and I just smiled.

"Don't blame yourself. It is not your fault because I was the person that should be blamed here. This wound is because of my clumsiness." He said as he carried me and started walking back to the camp.

"We should go back to the camp so that I can clean your wound properly." He said and I wrapped my hand around his neck while staring at his handsome face. My face kept blushing when I started praising him again inside my mind.

"What should we do about them, Romano? I understand if you don't want to help them." I said to him as I realized that I can't force him if he doesn't want to help the half-blood creatures. His decision should be respected because he had a terrible experience with them.

"We will know my decision when we get to the camp. For now, I need to cure your wound, okay?" He responded and I nodded my head. We reached the camp in just two minutes and everyone was staring at us. My friends and his friends walked up to us.

"What happened to her?" Kenneth asked on his worried face.

"I.. it is just nothing, guys. My feet just hit a sharp rock." I said to them as I have no plan of telling them exactly what happened between me and Romano.
