Chapter Eleven

Jasmine Pov:

My Goddess. I can't believe who I am seeing.

My hot professor was in my pack house. Wait, was he the vampire king. I thought to my self.

No he couldn't be I have met the vampire king and he wasn't him. He looks at me and my heart starts to pound I could feel something twist in my stomach.

He looks away and the feeling was gone, just like that. What The f**k.

I quickly avert my eyes from his face trying to get my feelings under control.

Was he a vampire? I asked my self, but he looked nothing like a vampire, or maybe he is a hybrid, but hybrids hardly live around humans.

"Everyone can i get your attention." My father stand up to speak. I take my mind from my thoughts and focus on my father.

"We have two reasons for celebration today." He smiles. "My first son Jaden and alpha to the pack is back, and this time he is here to stay. "He smiles and all the werewolves in the room cheers.

"Secondly." He continues. "For the first time in history. The supreme is here to personally witness a treaty between werewolves and vampires." He says earning an applause from the crowd.

"Let's give a round of applause for our Supreme, Damien." He raises his glass, before bowing and sitting down.

Damien stands from his sit and I almost choke.

Damien was the supreme. The supreme is a higher being who is believed to be above everything mortal or immortal on earth. Some say he is equal to the gods, while others believe he is the messenger of the gods.

All this time I had a crush on the damn Supreme, how could I have been so stupid. Wow jasmine you really went and did it this time. I cuss myself out. He stands from his sit and goes to give his speech.

"I would like to thank everyone here for being willing to form this treaty," He started. "I hope this treaty will be a forever reminder of peace between both races and I can assure each and everyone of you here that as long as am alive the treaty that will be signed here today would be respected and upheld and anyone who goes against it would be personally dealt with by me." He finishes, earning a loud round of applause from everyone in the room. I just look at him still shocked.

After a long boring talk and arguments between the wolves and vamps, they come to a conclusion and the treaty is signed.

An after party is thrown to celebrate the treaty between the two races.

After a while of greeting people I look over to Damien again and I could tell he was really bored.

Damien catches my eyes before averting his. He leans towards my father's ear telling him something before standing up and walking away. I take this as my opportunity to get some answers. I cook up an excuse to leave the party and go after Damien.

I didn't have to search for long. I find him by the garden in the temple built for the goddess. The temple was mandatory in all werewolf pack.

I stand between the trees watching him trying to cook up the courage to approach him.

Are you just going to stand there watching me all night. He said, making me blush red. Thank goddess his back was still turned so he can see my blush. I slowly come out. And he turns to face me.

Hey. I say awkwardly. He arches his eyebrows. I swallow. I don't know why I always lose my words whenever I see him. "Ahem." I clear my throat.

"You left the party early." I ask him, not knowing how else to approach him. "Don't tell me you came all the way here just to ask me that." He said before turning to face me. I sigh.

"Why are you doing this." I ask. "Doing what love. You have to be more specific." He says calmly. I huff, crossing my arms. "Why are you trying to form a bond between both races?" I said.

"Well I want to see my people united, both those races are my people and I don't want to see them fighting." He said, unperturbed. "Uh". I scoff. "You and I know there can never be peace between the wolves and vampires. You are only giving the vampires a means to kill in secret and not be caught." I said, not realizing i was moving towards him due to the anger brewing in me.

I finally realise how close we have gotten. I look up at him since I was only reaching his chest. And my breath hitches when our eyes meet. My stomach does that thing it always does when I see him but this times it was so intense.

I could not move or look away. It was as if something was trying to surface. I could feel something stir inside my head, trying to surface. We both kept staring at each other. I could feel him inching closer to me for a moment and then. It was gone.

I blink trying to regain my senses. I look to Damien and he has moved away from me. "Miss Jasmine,I think you should return back to the party." He tells me.

"Umm right. Am sorry I didn't mean to get that umm.. close to you." I say, tripping over my own words. "Ahem." I cleared my throat. "Excuse me." I turn to leave. "Wait." Damien voice stops me in my tracks. "I know you are scared but don't worry. The vamps are never gonna hurt you." He tells me.

I turn to him and I could tell he meant every word. "I am not scared of the vampires hurting me." I tell him. "But if they lay a finger on any member of my pack. I personally would break your treaty Alpha Supreme." I threaten." So can you promise it won't get to that. Supreme." I ask him.

We both stay quiet, watching each other's expression. "You have my word Jasmine. " Damien said, making me fall for him all over again. Damn he's hot when he is mad.

I get back to the party and to say it was boring would be an understatement. All I could think of was the close proximity with Damien. Just a little closer and we would have kissed. I could just imagine his lips on mine. Those soft looking lips. I bet they taste like cinnamon or straw..... "Jasmine." My mother calls, bringing me back to reality. I look around quickly realising I was still at party.

I look to my mom. "Yes? " She was seated with my dad and the Supreme. Come here dear. She gestures towards me." I reluctantly go to her. "Is everything okay?" I asked. "Sure dear, but are you fine. Your cheeks are very red." Mom points out. Making Damien look straight at me. I force a smile trying to hide my embarrassment. "Everything is fine mum." I say. "Good. Now sit down I have something to discuss with you." She pats the seat next to her gesturing me to sit with her.

I look to damien then to my mum before faking a smile and reluctantly sitting down.

"Supreme." Mum started. "This is my niece Jasmine. " She smiled. "Your niece? I thought she is your daughter." Damien asks genuinely curious.

Mom goes quiet for a while before answering. "She is like the daughter I never had." She said with a sad smile. " Well the thing is, her parents died when she was a kid so we took her in and from that moment she became like a daughter to me." Mum said. "And she has never let me down or made me disappointed." She said with a proud look in her eyes.

Damien nodded, impressed with my mum's words. "Umm Luna """"""" , I would like to make you an offer.

I was thin... "Excuse me." I interrupted. "I need to use the bathroom. Would you excuse me." I said politely before literally running away from them.

I ran over to the wine's table trying to steady my breath. Once my breathing and nervousness was under control. Goddess why does he affect me like this.

I take a shot of tequila driving it down my throat and regretting that decision immediately. Damn I hate tequila. I thought to myself.

Once I was sure I was fine. I Straightened my gown and decided to go look for Julian. I needed someone to talk to.

I find Julian sneaking peeks at the vamp king while pretending to talk with a pack member. I walk to him and clear my throat. "Ahem." Catching him off guard.

"Hey Jazz, i didn't see you there." Julian said, scratching the back of his head. "Yeah you looked pretty busy." I tease, pouting my lips in the direction of the vamp king. "No worries i understand." I teased, arching my eyebrow. Julian's cheeks turned beet red.

"Julian, I knew you were into guys but the vampire king. I can't even imagine." I exaggerate.

Julian rolls his eyes before dragging me out of earshot.

"Keep your voice down Jeez, why are you so loud. Someone might hear you." Julian whisper-screamed at me. Its not what it looks like. " He says. His expression turning sad.

"Well then you better have a hell of a good explanation to why you were checking out our sworn enemy." I whisper scream back crossing my arms.

"Well it's like this." Julian paused.

"Whatever it is Julian, just spit it out." I said raising an eyebrow. I look to Julian and he was looking to the ground blushing. "Julian would you stop blushing and answer my question." I said harshly, becoming impatient.

Well um the thing is....... Umm I found my mate. Julian said making my eyes widen.

I squeal like a six years old and all eyes in the room turned to me, giving me weird looks.

I paid no mind to them. I was just so happy for Julian. Julian and I were the only two eighteen years old who are yet to meet their mate in the pack.

"Well, who is she or he." I ask. "Wait, how does that concern the vampire guy." I cross my arms. "Julian don't change the topic." I say. " Am not." He said in a low tone.

"Don't get all weird with what am about to tell you okay?' Julian says looking really nervous.

"Okay? I won't. Now spill. I wait impatiently for what Julian was about to say.

"Well the thing is." He scratches the back of his head. "The vampire king is my mate." Julian finally reveals and I freeze.

"Jazmine you cool?" Julian asks out of panic. "What?" I scream. "No way." I start shaking my head. "I can't... I can't believe this." I say mostly to myself.

"Dammit why does the goddess keep doing things like this to me." I cry out of frustration.

"Hey Jasmine relax." Julian says. " I plan to reject him anyways."

"Wait what." I move closer to Julian . "You won't dare." I say. "I won't watch you reject your mate. I mean you waited so long."

"But what about you. " He said, looking sad and torn.

"I will be fine." I assure him. "Just focus on you and your mate." I said, giving a fake smile. "Right now I think I need space to think. I will be right back." I tell Julian. He stays quiet for a while. You sure you are okay? He asked "Am okay." He make a small nod and i pat him on the arm and leave the room.
