Rejected by the Alpha Claimed by the Lycan King

Despite the pain and discomfort, Jasmine pushed herself up from the bed and met with Renee’s concern eyes. She was a year younger than her and from the look in her eyes, Jasmine knew that she had heard about what happened last night.

Now the pain was more bearable, she felt bad for how she handled the situation, but then it could be worse than that.

“Princess…” Renee called her with teary eyes and Jasmine smiled at her.

“I am fine, Renee, you don’t need to worry.” She saw the breakfast on the table. Her mother must have sent her here to deliver the food for her, knowing she was not in the condition where she could meet anyone.

Her mother always knew the best.

“You can leave now, I am okay.” The fact that Aiden was not even here, her mother must have restrained the young boy from bothering her, which she was thankful for.

Renee gave her a concerning look and then left the room. She didn’t say much because she knew it wouldn’t help with anything. The queen and the king knew best what to do with the princess.

She loved princess Jasmine because she had helped her during her difficult times and she treated her so well, not like any royal family in her position.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Jasmine ate her food slowly, she was thinking about what she should do next, since everything had happened and all she needed to do now was to handle the aftermath.

After she ate her breakfast, which she could only eat less than half, she called for Renee and asked her what had happened.

Renee immediately told her about what she knew. The party went well and alpha Lorent and Valerie were still in the same room. From what she heard, they were not allowed to leave the palace, but they were treated well.

Jasmine nodded with the information.

“Help me to clean myself, Renee,” Jasmine said. She wanted to meet with alpha Lorent and had this conversation. The sooner the better, but she couldn’t appear in this haggard state.

Renee immediately followed her favorite princess to the bathroom and ran water for her. She looked worried, but to see how well Jasmine accepted what happened, she became less worry.

Once she was done and she looked more presentable, she told Renee to inform alpha Lorent that she wanted to meet with him. She didn’t need to tell him her intention for this meeting, since he would know anyway.

“Oh, and ask him to bring Valerie with him too,” Jasmine added. She didn’t want to cause misunderstanding between them and more importantly, she didn’t think it was wise for her to see him alone when the situation between them was rather awkward.

Valerie was not a luna yet, thus Jasmine didn’t address her as such.

“Should I inform your mother and father about this? They had been asking me about how are you when they knew you were awake.”

Jasmine chuckled. She could imagine how her father would have been struggling to prevent her mother from barging inside her bedroom.

You can inform them after I met with the alpha.”

They would learn about this anyway, sooner or later, therefore there was no need to keep it from then.

And ten minutes later, here Jasmine was, sitting opposite from the man that supposed to be her destined mate and a woman, who was currently pregnant with his child. Jasmine sighed. This was not how she imagined her morning would be.

Only yesterday, she was very excited for her birthday and how it went, but right now, thing had changed completely.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I am sorry for the commotion that I created last night,” Valerie said sheepishly. Both of them seemed not to have a good night sleep.

“It’s okay. I can understand,” Jasmine replied gracefully, she was sipping her tea and cleared her throat to address the issue. “I wish the situation will be different, but because thing had escalated this way. I hope there will no misunderstanding in the future. I hope you understand that this thing is not something that I and alpha Lorent could control.”

Valerie nodded. “Yes, I know,” she said in small voice. “I didn’t mean to cause trouble, but I was panicked when I learned what happened. I am sorry to cause you trouble for the stunt that I pulled last night.”

Jasmine shook her head. “Just like I said, I do understand your situation. You don’t need to be sorry for me. None of us here at fault.”

Their conversation didn’t last for long and after that, Jasmine sent them away with well wishes for Valerie’s pregnancy and their happy life together.

“Thank you, thank you so much princess,” Valerie said gratefully. She knew about the rumor of Jasmine’s birth and how bad people out there talking about her, but right now she was very thankful for her kindness.

“You don’t need to thank me. You owe me nothing.”

Meanwhile, alpha Lorent didn’t talk much, he thanked Jasmine for how wise she was despite her young age.

Jasmine was very civil with alpha Lorent. The pain of rejection still lingered and the pull of the mate bond was still there, therefore, it would be good for both of them if they didn’t see each other. It was not like they would see each other in the near future though.

Once they left, Jasmine went back where she found her mother had been waiting for her.

“I am fine, mother. You don’t need to worry about me,” she said with a chuckle when she saw how her mother was trying so hard to stop herself from crying. “But, there is one thing that I want to ask you. Could you please grant me my wish?”

“Anything, love. Anything.” Althea was at the point, where she would agree to anything that Jasmine wanted, because she knew how painful it was.

“I want to leave the palace.”
