Chapter 33

Third-person narrative Jasmine stirred in her sleep as the gentle wind coming from the window penetrated the curtains. She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them, looking around the room, searching for Noah, but he was nowhere in sight.

It was already dark, and she wondered where he might be that late. Her head was banging from a mild headache, and she couldn’t understand why.

Even though her eyes were still quite heavy, the thought of being all alone in Noah’s room kept her eyes wide open.

She stood up from the bed, stretching out her back, before checking if he was in the toilet, but he wasn’t.

“Where could he be?” She asked herself.

She was kind of scared to be alone after what happened the previous day. Never in a million years would she have imagined that she would find herself in such a situation.

She had often heard of girls being assaulted but never imagined that it would happen to her. But thank the moon goddess, Noah came right in time before things got out of hand.

She had wanted to ask Noah to take her back to school this morning when she woke up. But he had pleaded with her that he would never let such a fate come to her again.

He had then taken her out to get a few things to get her mind off what had happened.

Jasmine waited for a while to see if Noah would return to the room on his own, but he didn’t. She was scared to go out of the room, but at the same time, she didn’t want to be alone.

Jasmine thought for a while before finally deciding to look for Noah. He had to be somewhere in the house.

She looked around his room, searching for some sort of weapon that she could hold onto to protect herself. She found a small pocket knife lying on the table in the room, so she picked it up.

She slowly opened the door, stepping out of the room as quietly as she could. She made her way down the stairs but still didn’t see anyone.

She stepped into the kitchen area and saw someone, but it wasn’t who she was expecting.

It was a young girl around her age, roaming around in the kitchen. She seemed to have heard Jasmine’s footsteps, so she turned back.

She was dressed rather scantily, and Jasmine wondered who she was and why she was in Noah’s house.

A sneer appeared on her face immediately after the girl laid her eyes on Jasmine. Jasmine didn’t know her, but from the way the girl was looking at her, it seemed she knew Jasmine.

Jasmine decided to ignore the girl’s attitude.

“Hi, I just wanted to ask if you’ve seen Noah,” Jasmine asked as politely as she could.

“And why would I tell you that?” She asked, and Jasmine frowned.

“Ummm… I don’t understand you,” said Jasmine.

“You know he doesn’t love you, right? He’s just using you and will toss you aside when he’s done,” the girl said tauntingly.

Jasmine couldn’t have been more confused. She didn’t know who the girl was or why she seemed to hate her, and she didn’t have the strength to engage in an argument with her.

She turned around, looking around the house.

“Hey, you don’t ignore people when they’re talking to you. You’re just a toy, and you should know that” she spat out disgustingly.

Jasmine sighed and looked down at the ground, frustrated. She had gone through a lot within the past few days, and it was making her stressed. She didn’t need anything to add to the problems she already had.

“Please, I’m not in the mood to exchange words with you; can you just tell me if you know where Noah is?” Jasmine said.

The girl smirked as she stared at her for a moment.

“Okay, follow me,” she said while wearing a devilish smug on her face as she walked past Jasmine.

She walked to a corner of the room, where there was a hidden door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned to look at Jasmine, who was standing behind her, confused and curious.

She turned the knob and pushed the door open, then gave way for Jasmine to see what was going on inside.

Jasmine’s mouth fell open at the scene in front of her. It was Noah in the room, having s*x with a girl. The girl’s a*s was up in the air while Noah f****d her ferociously from behind. He wasn’t the only one in the room. There were other people in there too, having s*x.

It was an orgy.

“What the hell is going on here?” She subconsciously said it in shock, but it seemed Noah had heard her because he turned to look at her.

Jasmine thought that he would stop what he was doing since she had caught him, but no, he didn’t; he just continued where he left off like she wasn’t even there.

She was confused.

Her confusion soon turned into disgust as she watched what was going on in the room. The girl who had led her there started laughing at her before leaving her to join the others inside.

Not able to stand it anymore, Jasmine left the room and ran upstairs to Noah’s room. She couldn’t remain there anymore.

She didn’t think that Noah would pull something like that again after what happened last time. She paced around his room before deciding not to stay there any longer.

She started packing the few things that she had with her, even though it was already dark and she didn’t know where she was or how she was going to get out. But all she wanted to do at that moment was leave Noah’s house.

She had placed the bag over her shoulder and had made her way downstairs when Noah appeared in front of her. He was disheveled, and his hair was scattered. He had dressed up in a rush.

“Where are you going?” He asked her, his eyes wide in confusion.

“Where does it seem like I’m going, Noah? I’m leaving and going back to my dorm, where I live,” she replied angrily, not bothering to look at him.

She tried walking out of the door, but Noah blocked the way.

“I’m so sorry, Jasmine. I wanted to explain everything to you, but there was just no time to do it,” he pleaded.

“There’s nothing to explain, Noah. I’m just fed up and want to return home, that’s all,” she said, while still trying to push her way through.

“Just calm down, Jasmine; I’ll tell you everything,” Noah pleaded.

“Just calm down, Jasmine; I’ll tell you everything,” Noah pleaded.

“Okay, I’m calm. What is it that you want to say?” she questioned, sparing a dagger stare.

“The thing is, the girl you saw me with is my mate,” he said, his voice low.

Jasmine was surprised to hear him say that, as she wasn’t expecting that at all.

“I’ve known her for a while, and I’m sorry for not telling you, and that is because I love you so much, but at the same time, I just can’t stay away from her; our bond is very strong,” he said.

“What are you saying? If you feel so bonded to this mate of yours, then why do you need me here?” Jasmine questioned.

“It’s because I love you, Jasmine; I have always loved you, and I know that you love me too. Please, we can both figure something out,” he said, his voice pleading.

There is nothing to figure out; I don’t think this was even right in the first place. I should just go back to school,” Jasmine said, but Noah blocked the door again.

“Jasmine, you need to calm down; I honestly do not love her. It’s you that I love. The same way you love and want to be around me, you despise being bonded to your mates. Please try to understand my predicament.”

“You could have just told me, Noah,” she said.

“I was scared of how you would react. I didn’t want to lose you,” Noah replied.

“So what happens now?” Asked jasmine.

“You don’t have to leave, at least not tonight. You can just go back to my room and stay there while I wrap things up here. I mean, ask everyone to go back to their homes, and then we can both talk things out,” he said.

She was a little reluctant at first, but given that it was already dark and she knew it would be difficult to find her way back to school, Reluctantly, she nodded her head before turning her back to him.

“Thank you so much; I will be with you shortly,” he said to her as she made her way up the stairs.

She entered his room and dropped her bag before plopping down on the bed. She sat back, staring at the door on the floor.

Even though she wanted to be angry with Noah, she couldn’t, especially since she was in the same predicament herself.

Even though she is bonded to her mates, she finds herself uncontrollably attracted to Noah. She felt he understood her better, especially since they were both rogues.

But at the same time, she started to wonder whether she had made the right decision, coming with Noah to his pack.

It was the farthest she had been from Mia and her mates, so she hadn’t stopped thinking about them. Even though they always had their way of annoying her, she couldn’t help but miss them.

She let out a deep sigh as she let herself fall on Noah’s bed with her eyes fixated on the ceiling. She had been gone for days now, and she knew that Mia and her brothers would be searching for her.
