But Jasmine wasn’t listening either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was pale, eyes unfocused, the same expression she’d had all morning. Like something was tugging on her soul from far, far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasmine!\" Nanny Nia called out, trying to keep her voice even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women turned. Jasmine blinked rapidly and walked toward her, but Lily stayed still, arms crossed like a sculpture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve made your tea,\" Nanny Nia said, not giving Lily a second glance. \"You need to take it now. How are you feeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Much better.\" Jasmine nodded. \"What had happened? We had heard some shootings but Lily had insisted we stay here for safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh that.\" Nanny Nia shrugged her shoulders. \"Just the Lycan boys having their duals and screaming like little children. It was good that Lily made you stay put.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then Nanny Nia turned to Lily. \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily smiled. \"Please it was nothing. I barely did anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come dear.\" Nanny Nia offered nodding to the gazebo. \"Come and have your tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine nodded and obediently followed her back toward the gazebo, but Nia could feel the tension crackling behind them. Lily’s gaze followed, sharp and unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, Jasmine sat at the small breakfast table in the parlor, hands trembling slightly as she accepted the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Jasmine said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jasmine was about to put the cup of tea to her lips, none other than Kire came running in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large fury wolf that had still refused to merge back with Erik, came galloping with his tongue dangling out in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kire.\" Jasmine said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she gently put the cup back on the tray, Kire lunged on her almost knocking her off her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad wolf.\" Nanny Nia reprimanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kire didn’t care. He was simply licking Jasmine all over her face while she rubbed his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forgive him Nanny Nia.\" Jasmine laughed as she rubbed his fur while he panted. \"He hasn’t seen me in a long time hence why he is so excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve missed you too my love.\" Jasmine laughed as she played with his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Nia wasn’t quite fond of pets and Kire wasn’t even a pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine played with him for a while before he went to attack Nanny Nia in play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop.... Stop...\" Nanny Nia complained as as he tried to jump on her too. \"Stop it I say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad wolf. Bad wolf.\" She said but it seemed her rebuking only made him want to play with her even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine laughed and then Kire turned back to look at her excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine picked up her tea and put the rim of the cup to her lips and was about to take a sip again when Kire from nowhere lunged at her and knocked it off her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful tea cup fell to the and shattered into a thousand pieces while its contents spilled to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kire....\" Jasmine said in a soft tone that indicated she wasn’t happy with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kire instead growled at the broken cup on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is he behaving that way?\" Lily asked perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was as if it was only in that moment Kire had heard her voice and even noticed that she was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He growled at her and began to how at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He growled angrily as if he was about to rip her into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily honestly looked terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kire stop that!\" Jasmine warned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kire wasn’t listening to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He growled as he slowly went towards Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily gathered her feet from the floor to her chair as he slowly progressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine came off her chair and tried to grab him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he kept on struggling viciously as he growled, his saliva dangling from his mouth like he was a mad wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He howled and growled so loudly that everyone was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasmine keep him away from me!\" Lily wept in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kire! Stop that!\" Jasmine said as she pulled him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kire was being adamant and insisted on still framing nearer and nearer to Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine pulled him and Nanny Nia tried to hold Jasmine too, but they were no match for Kire’s wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a few inches of a terrified Lily and was about to attack when a figure came into the gazebo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KIRE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the wolf froze almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it was none other than Erik.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik walked up to them and gave Kire a very hard and heavy slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kire howled in pain and whimpered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then Erik grabbed him by his fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m so sorry about this.\" Erik apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily looked like she was about to run mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sweating all over, her dress was wrinkled and a mess because of how much she had gathered it to prevent Kire from attacking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am so sorry.\" Erik apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am so sorry.\" Jasmine said. \"He doesn’t usually act this way. He is most sweet and playful. I don’t know what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you just get him out of here?\" A still panicked Lily asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Erik said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he grabbed Kire’s golden paw and dragged him out of the gazebo while the massive wolf whimpered and howled unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only them Lily gently put her feet to the ground and tucked her hair behind her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were visibly shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily again I am so sorry.\" Jasmine apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a minute.\" Lily said and then hurried out of the gazebo leaving Nanny Nia and Jasmine confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What just happened?\" A confused Jasmine asked as she gently set a hand to her tummy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe his separation from his master is beginning to affect him.\" Nanny Hia stated as she gathered the tray and then signaled for a maid. \"You there come in and clean this up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine sighed. \"He was growling at only Lily nor you or me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. He was.\" Nanny Nia said and silently added to herself that he was growling at tea too.\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-06T04:22:13.102Z",1,"novelbin.me","61301db0cc1c2b96abc21126c96fcb11f42fcabc0c97b8c481a7386c3d29fd6e","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-421","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-419",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-cover.jpg"]
