Chapter Twelve

Jasmine

First the shock of Damien being the Supreme and then my brother's mate being part of a specie I hate so much. At this point I don't think tonight can get worse. I think to myself.

I turn around and get crashed into by a waiter, ruining my dress.

"Oh my goddess, Am sorry ma'am." The waiter apologized, panicking so bad. I could see her hands shaking. "Wait here ma'am. I will get you a wet towel. Goddess what have i done." She panicked about to rush off, but I stopped her.

Seeing how scared she was. I held her from going to get me the towel. She looks back at me. Fear and shock in her eyes. Her lips were even quivering.

Looking at how terrified she was, I couldn't even bring myself to be mad. " It's really okay. I was about to go to bed anyway. I say, forcing a fake smile before walking away frome the hall. I needed to be in my room right now before I murder someone.

I rush to my room feeling my blood rush to my head. I am angry, very angry. I need to be alone. This was the only thought in my mind.

On my way to my room I bump into someone. "Am sorry" I said.I was about to continue on my way when he spoke. "Jasmine are you okay?" He asked, eyeing me suspiciously. "Am fine." I quickly say. "Just a bit tired that's all. I will head to my room. " I needed to get out of there. " No you are not. Jasmine you are turning red." He looks at me worriedly. "Excuse me." I say before running off.

I don't know what's wrong with me but I felt like I was about to burst into flames. I get to my room and I collapse as soon as I enter, breathing heavily.

I could feel my whole body burn as if i was on fire. I hear glass shatter but it seemed to be at a distance. Blood kept rushing to my ear. I was crashing i could feel it. "You need to calm down Jasmine." A voice in my head told me.

"Jasmine breathe." I heard someone's voice but I couldn't see who was speaking. "Breathe love." Someone said holding my hand and rubbing my back. Like as if cold water was poured on me I begin to calm down. When said person touched my face. My mind began to relax and I passed out.

Damien's Pov:

I was walking down the hall enjoying the silence. I felt good knowing that i have been able to avoid a war between the vampires and werewolves.

I saw someone coming from afar, all of their skin have turned red like they were about to burst into flames. My first thought was that a rouge has gotten in and want to start up trouble. I let out a deep growl. I am never gonna allow that.

But as the figure got closer. I smelt a familiar scent of strawberries. Jasmine? I thought to myself. Why was she red? I frowned confused.

"Jasmine are you okay?" I asked concerned after she bumped into me. "Am fine." She said about to walk off. "No you are not." I tell her. "You are turning red." I said, feeling more worried. "Excuse me." She ran off, before I could say anything else.

"Jasmine wait." I said following her. My mind raced trying to come up with what might be happening to her.

For the first time in my life i felt fear like never before.

I got to her room and met her collapsed on the floor shaking. She was so red. She looked like she was about to explode. I just kept staring frozen in place. Then something weird happened.

A mirror shattered on the floor out of nowhere

I stared at the mirror confused, the mirror in her room was intact. So where did this mirror come from.

My mind quickly focused back on my mate.

"Jasmine breathe." I said, reaching my hand towards her. I hesitantly put my hand on her back and held her hand. "Breathe love." I said, rubbing her back up and down. And unexpectedly, she started to calm down. I let out a breath of relief.

After awhile she passed out in my arms and I carried her to the bed.

"You are alright." I whispered. " Don't go, I need you." She said softly. I paused and sat back down. "Am not going anywhere baby. I would always be with you." I whispered. "Even if you don't know it." I added softly.

I stayed with her on the bed examining her room thoroughly. It looked normal nothing out of the ordinary.

I look at the broken mirror on the floor. How did that mirror get there. I thought to myself. I slowly got up from her bed and walked to where the broken pieces laid.

I bent down and picked up a piece to examine. I slightly tilted a mirror and a symbol appeared. It was a phoenix whose wings were on fire.

A phoenix is a fire bird. which symbolizes hope, renewal and immortality.

But why was there a phoenix symbol in Jasmine's room. I thought to myself.

I decided to search her room. I searched all over but could not find anything that ties her to the symbol.

Just as i am about to give up. I see something glimmer in her neck. I slowly pull back her hair and take the necklace off her neck.

I examine it and just as i suspected it has a phoenix sign on the back of it. I put both the mirror and symbol in my pocket.

I stand up straight and look to my sleeping mate.

Looks like there is more to her than i know. I will get to the bottom of all this.

I am will leave for Eden and i need to keep her close, just incase. Which means she is coming to eden with me.

I am gonna find out what it is she is keeping from me.

I mindlink Jason that we are leaving. I kiss Jasmine on the forehead before leaving her room. I head back to the party. My mind pre occupied.

I thank Jasmine's pack for hosting us before getting into my car with Jason.

We get into the car and i could feel Jason throwing glances my way. "If you have something to say Jason, say it." I said. He stays quiet for a while. "You okay?" He peeks at me. "Am fine." I answered curtly.

A long silence stretches between us before he speaks up again. "You don't seem fine. He said. "What's your point Jason." I asked raising an eyebrow impatiently.

"Since we left the party you have been silent. why?" He asked.

"I don't report to you Jason. Remember that." I said.

Long silence stretches between us again and for a moment it looked like he got the memo.

"Is it your mate, Jasmine." he asks.

Sighing I close my eyes. "Jason my mate is none of your buisness." I reply calmly, but deep down i was losing my patience.

"Come on Dami." Jason said. "Maybe i can help. He offers.

I remain quiet. Making Jason sigh. "Fine don't tell me." He said giving up.

"What do you know about the Phoenix symbol." I ask Jason. "Hmm, well i know it symbolizes.... " I cut him off. "I know what it symbolizes dumbass. What race does it belong to in our world?" I specify harshly.

"Calm down Jeez. I don't know what race it symbolizes, but i will find out as soon as we get back to Eden. He says.

I give him a nod.

"So does this phoenix have anything to do with Jasmine." Jason asked.

"None of your buisness." I said ignoring the question. "Fine." He said raising his hands. "I give up, keep it to yourself then."

"Am taking her to Eden with me.

"You know, the reason we are going back to Eden is because the demons are increasing in a threatening manner. Jason said. "You sure taking her to Eden is the right call?"

"I will be able to protect her best when she is close to me." I say.

Jason stays quiet for awhile before agreeing with me. "Fine. I trust you Damien. I know you won't put her life in danger, so if you believe her going to Eden would protect her then i agree with you." Jason said and I nod.

"So, how do you plan on telling her pack to let her go." Jason asks.

"Simple, I want her to join the training for young supernaturals to enhance her abilities." I shrug.

"And if they refuse?" Jason raises an eyebrow. "No one refuses the Supreme Jason my word is Law." I say with a smirk.

"Yes Supreme King." Jason says with a smile.

"Enough with this talk. Am tired." I say before turning towards my window getting lost in my thoughts.
