Rejected by the Alpha Claimed by the Lycan King

Jasmine arrived at the lake house two weeks later, thankfully, their journey was smooth, there was nothing eventful that happened.

“Everything has been put inside, princess. Is there anything else that I can help you with?” Ethan, the head of the ten warriors that would keep her safe here, informed her about all of her belongings had been put inside her bedroom.

There were four bedrooms in this lake house and a few little huts that scattered around the area. Those huts would be used by the warriors for them to stay.

“I will deliver food every Thursday, once a week.”

“Thank you, Ethan. I don’t think I need anything else. Everything is perfect.”

“If you need something and wanted to call us, we are nearby, you only need to mindlink us.”

“Thank you, Ethan, you are very thoughtful,” Jasmine said, she flashed him a smile and he blushed.

Ethan was twenty five years old warrior, he joined in when he was only fifteen and he was the best in his field, but Jasmine knew that he was a softie at heart, though many warriors looked more like barbaric, but he was decent.

“I will make sure you know if I need anything.”

After that, Ethan took all the warriors out of the house lake’s area and disappeared behind the woods, they wouldn’t be visible, but Jasmine knew that they were there to keep her safe.

Once the warriors had dispersed, she went to the lake house and then entered the living room. This place was clean and just like how she remembered it.

Every month there would be a cleaning lady that came to clean this place.

Jasmine walked mindlessly, the quietness was therapeutic. She missed her family, but this was what she needed right now.

She went from bedroom to bedroom and then ended in the library. Her mother loved to read and she would spend her time here, so did she.

She traced her hands on the spine of the book and read the title. She would be able to read a lot of books during her stay here throughout the winter.

Once the lake was froze over, she would go out and play there. She had never been in the lake house during winter, thus she couldn’t help, but being very expectant.

After Jasmine chose three books, she then went to her bedroom and started to read, until she fell asleep and woke up at night.

She woke up around night when she felt hungry. It was rather ridiculous because she used to have someone by her side, who would be ready with food and everything that she needed, like Renee.

However, right now, she needed to cook her own meal.

And the problem was; she didn’t know how to cook. She had never cooked in her entire life, so how could she know how to do it?

Jasmine got up from the bed, she grimaced.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Why I didn’t think about this earlier?” She furrowed her brows. I should have brought Renee with me when she asked, but apparently, I am an idiot…”

Sighing in regret, Jasmine didn’t have any other choice, but to get up and make her own meal. She didn’t want to call for the warriors and ask them to cook for her.

She was sure they could do the job better than her, but her pride didn’t allow her to do so, especially after the arrogant display of how she wanted to live alone.

“Great.”

Jasmine shook her head and then went to the kitchen, where she found all the supply to cook something edible, only the problem was; she didn’t know how.

Thinking about her predicament for a while, she then remembered of a recipe in the library. She immediately went there.

“Great. There are instructions here. I only need to follow it, right?” Jasmine hummed to herself, as she returned to the kitchen with a triumphant look on her face. She was very satisfied.

However, she was quick to learn that finding the

Jasmine wanted to cry when she saw her steak, but when she tried it…

“Well, not bad…” she nodded to herself.

Though the look was not good, but the taste was… well, tolerable. Jasmine only hoped she wouldn’t get stomach bug when she finished eating this.

And after that, she cleaned her plate, it felt weird, but she liked this mundane thing and somehow she was excited to try new recipe.

Probably, this would be her life for the winter and when her food was more tolerable, she would have the warriors to try them.

Jasmine sighed and then stared at the window, it was dark outside, she then used the magic stone to light up the front yards.

After that, when she thought she was ready for bed, she heard a noise from the backyard.

“What is that?” Her eyes narrowed, thinking wind knocked something off, but she didn’t go there to check, until she heard it again and startled.

She hoped it was not what she was thinking, but she decided to check on it anyway and found something that made her heart thumped wildly against her chest.

“What happened?!” Jasmine screeched, she immediately covered her mouth and approached him, right in time when he shifted into his human form.

Obviously, he was a shifter, but his beast looked a little bit weird, it was very big… just as big as her king’s father when he shifted into his lycan form.

“Who are you?” Jasmine approached him, she could smell blood. He was bleeding. “Wait, I will ask for help!” She was panic. Obviously.

However, his hand grabbed her wrist and held her. “Get me inside the house. Don’t let anyone see me.”
