Chapter 349

349 HE WAS FULLY AWARE OF IT

Darius didn’t realize it at first even though he heard a set of footsteps approaching this bedroom. He thought it was one of the guards, who was here to take over his shift.

But then, he heard the door cracking open and then he saw the Alpha standing right in the middle of the room, with his eyes filled with malice, as he saw another man hugging his crying mate.

“I don’t remember allowing you into my bedroom.” Liam’s voice was wrapped in poison, as his eyes landed on the two of them. He noticed that Jasmine was crying, but no matter what the reason was, there was no better way to explain what they were doing right now.

The alpha didn’t know what happened, but he felt his blood boil in anger, as he strode across the room while the temperature dropped, as tension filled the air.

Fortunately enough, both of them immediately realized what they were doing was wrong and then separated themselves from each other.

Of course, they must do that, because if they kept their initial positions, probably Liam would be the one to separate them... limb by limb.

“What is this?” Liam shot Darius a dagger look, while he stood right in front of Jasmine, who was wiping the never ending tears from her cheeks. She was still sobbing, while trying to keep it down as much as possible. “Why are you crying?” Liam only spared Jasmine a glance when he asked this question, but the next moment, he refocused all of his attention on the warrior in front of him.

However, Jasmine didn’t answer him, she looked upset and seemed not wanting to talk to him at all.

Liam would like to kill this bastard, if it was not for Jasmine who wouldn’t stop hicupping behind him. He wanted to know what made his mate cry.

.....

“Talk.” Liam was not in the mood to be patient and he really needed to take some much delayed rest after his little trip to East Draghar that ended up in such chaos.

On the other hand, Darius kept his head up and reciprocated the alpha’s glare. He looked exceptionally calm in the face of Liam’s wrath, as if he had this kind of scenario played in his head countless times already and had prepared himself for this.

“Luna Jasmine is crying because she just heard news about her father.” Darius kept his calm and glanced at Jasmine, who was standing behind Liam’s back. “You have just arrived, Alpha, therefore, I am sure you have not heard of the attack on the organization’s base, which resulted in the death of Archie Williams, Luna’s father.”

This was news for Liam, because he indeed didn’t know anything about it. He glanced at Jasmine, who was still sobbing and then back at the warrior again.

“I can give you all the information about what happened while you are away right now,” Darius said. “Do you want to hear it?” he asked, trying to appease Liam’s anger.

Liam was silent for a moment because he was still trying to wrap his mind around this piece of sudden information. Of course, he was happy to know that the man had died, but it didn’t mean he had forgotten about the glaring issue here.

“That reason alone doesn’t give you enough excuse to touch your luna,” Liam said sternly. He knew who this man was. He was Darius, one of the best warriors that he had, that was also the reason why he was assigned to this job.

Darius gritted his teeth when he lowered his head and showed his submission to the alpha. This was not the right time to show his defiance.

“My apologies, Alpha, I will not do something like that again. I was out of line.” He stared at the floor and didn’t let Liam see the expression on his face when he said those words. He glared at the tile beneath his feet, as if it had done something horrible to him.

“Get out of this room!” Liam said grimly. He saw Darius turn around and head directly toward the door. He didn’t have a chance to see his expression at this moment, but probably if he caught a glimpse of it, he would know how much hatred this warrior harbored for him.

Once Darius closed the door from outside and left the two of them alone inside the room, Liam turned around to face Jasmine. He saw how devastated she was right now and felt very upset for some reason.

“You don’t need to cry over someone who doesn’t even care about you.” Liam was kind of snapping at her, because the last thing that he wanted to do after surviving such an ordeal that he had to face in Kalee city, was to appease and cajole this woman.

Not to mention that he had zero sympathy as to what happened to Archie Williams. Actually, he was glad that he died. There was no need for him to be alive. It was great that someone had finally killed him.

Whoever it was, he had done great a favor to this realm.

Of course, Liam would get into the details later, but for now, he was pissed because Jasmine kept crying like a little girl.

“Stop crying,” he said grimly. He balled his fists and watched as Jasmine wiped tears from her cheeks a few times, but failed to stop sobbing. “He doesn’t love you. He didn’t try to save you from me, knowing you fell a hostage in my arms. Why do you need to cry over a man like that? Father or not, he was an asshole for treating his daughter like that.”

He knew how it felt to be one’s father’s second option. He was his father’s second option as well, just because he was born later after his brother.

His idiotic father didn’t see his son’s potential, but only went along with the fact that Emmet was his first born, so it was his right to be the alpha of this pack. The same thing happened to Jasmine when her father thought his legacy could only be passed down to his son.

The two of them had similar stories, but then Liam and Jasmine were completely different people. They faced different demons and had gone through different painful experiences.

No matter how many similarities you pointed out between them and how messed up their respective families were, the differences between them were too big to overcome, especially with all the things that Jasmine and Liam had done in order to hurt each other, in the process to get what they wanted.

“Can you leave me alone?” Jasmine said. Her voice was a little bit rough. She was not in the mood to fight with Liam at this moment.

How bad their relationship was right now when she wished it was another man, who was standing in front of her instead of her own mate.

Yet, Liam didn’t like that. He grabbed Jasmine’s hand and glared at her. “You want me to leave? But, just a few minutes ago you were hugging another man happily.” He pointed out the truth. “Do you want to humiliate me?”

“Liam, I don’t have energy for this,” Jasmine said, she held out her hand to create distance between them. It was a gesture of her saying she didn’t want to be touched by him. “Just leave me alone,” she resorted to pleading with him.

However, Liam didn’t give a shit about it. He didn’t care as to how Jasmine felt right now. The only thing that he could see was; his mate didn’t mind being hugged by another man, but she wanted him, her own mate, to stay away from her?

That was a ridiculous request and Liam didn’t think he would grant that.

Growling, Liam grabbed Jasmine’s hand and dragged her toward the bed, as he tossed her onto it, which made her scream in anger, since she knew what he would do next.

“ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU MUST HAVE LOST YOUR MIND!” Jasmine screamed at Liam, as she tried her best to get away from him.

She was not a helpless little girl, who didn’t know how to protect herself, after all, she was appointed as a commander for nothing, but years of her training had gone down the drain when she had to face a shifter one on one without any weapon on her.

It was simply ridiculous to think you would be able to overpower a shifter, let alone an alpha.

Jasmine screamed when Liam grabbed her ankle and pulled her back to the bed and pinned her down with his own body. She couldn’t move, neither could she shake him off of her.

But, there was one miraculous moment, when Jasmine’s punch landed on Liam’s face and this made him stop for a few seconds, as he stared down at her with a blank expression. It was hard to guess what he would do next to her.

Jasmine felt her heart skip a beat when she thought that Liam would hit her back, but after a while, Liam gathered both of her hands and pinned them above her head, rendering her unable to move, as he growled against her neck and bit down on his mark.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Jasmine cried loudly when she felt his fangs tear into her skin as blood oozed out from his bite mark.

On the other hand, outside of the door, standing with his balls fisted, was Darius, listening to every cry from behind this closed door, he was fully aware of what was happening.
