“Jasmine? Where have you been?” Michael approached Jasmine when he saw her. He was patrolling around this area.

He looked at towards the direction where Jasmine came from, but he couldn’t tell, where she had gone. This was still very early in the morning for her to roam around on her own.

“This is not safe for you to be alone here. The royal warriors can sneak in and catch you.” He grabbed Jasmine’s hand, but he felt there was something wrong with her. “Did Killian know you are out here?”

Jasmine didn’t really listen to him, the drug still took effect on her, and she breathed deeply. The cold morning breeze felt so good on her face. She closed her eyes and was about to fall.

“Jasmine!” Michael caught him, and both of them fell on the floor. Because he didn’t expect her to stumble on the t floor and lost his bnce. “What’s wrong with you?”

Michael groaned, because he used his hand as a cushion for Jasmine’s head, so she wouldn’t hit the floor so hard.

“What’s going on?” Michael looked at her closely. He stared into her eyes. “Are you drunk?” He knew something was not right with Jasmine. She looked drunk, but when he sniffed close to her mouth, he didn’t smell anything. No, he smelled something.

However, before he could think about what smell was that, suddenly Jasmine cupped his face, and brought his face down to kiss him.

She kissed him on the lips, a full blown kiss with a tongue.

For a brief moment, Michael was too stunned to react. He stared at her in disbelief, as if this didn’t happen to him.

But, when the realization kicked in, he immediately pushed away from her. It was not that hard to get away from her, because she had no strength left.

“Jasmine! What the fuck!” Michael leapt to his feet, he red at Jasmine, who was giggling, still lying on the floor. Her face flushed red, she didn’t even realize what she had done, as she keptughing at his reaction. “Are you out of your mind?!”

But, seeing how angry Michael was, Jasmineughed even harder.

Michael narrowed his eyes at her. He didn’t smell any alcohol on her breathe, but the fact she acted drunk, it could mean one thing…

She was using drug.

“Fuck.” Michael gritted his teeth. Where did she get that?! Did Killian know about this? Didn’t he do something?

Michael watched Jasmine grew up, he always thought of her as his family, therefore for her to kiss him on the lips gave him an ick.

However, Jasmine wouldn’t have done that if she was sobered.

“Get up. I will take you back to your room.” Michael groaned when Jasmine didn’t move, he waited until she stoppedughing and then finally fell asleep.

Only then, he approached Rania and carried her to her bedroom, just in case she was going to attack him and kiss him again. It didn’t feel good. It was gross,

Jasmine was half of his age.

Once he arrived at the bedroom, he kicked the door several times because he couldn’t knock, but also because he was upset with Killian for not even realizing that his mate had gone missing. How he could sleep soundly?

It didn’t take long before the door was opened, Killian’s sleepy, but alerted eyes greeted him, but his gaze turned shock, when he saw Jasmine in Michael’s arms.

“Do you want to exin why she is out there, and you had no clue that she has gone?” Michael went inside without even being invited, he shouldered Killian on the way, as the other man stumbled.

“I don’t know…”

“That’s what I want to ask you, how you don’t know that she had gone missing?” Michael red at him viciously, he waited for his answer, as he put Jasmine down on the bed. “Now, tell me what happened with her? Tell me everything, Killian.”

Once Michael tucked Jasmine in, he straightened his back, and faced Killian with a stern look on his face.

“Why she is using drug?!” Michael roared angrily.

Meanwhile, Killian kept up with his worried expression, but when he looked at Michael again, he growled. angrily at him.

“Do you think I didn’t try to stop her?! I didn’t tell you because I know this will devastate her even more if someone sees her like this. They will think differently about her, and you know her well, that she cared so much about what people is thinking!”

Michael was taken aback, he didn’t expect Killian to be very angry with him, he frowned. And because Michael didn’t say anything, thus Killian continued with his monologue to control the narrative.

“I have tried my best. I have tried everything that I could to bring her back, but she kept rpsing. I didn’t mean to hide this from you, but I have to keep her dignity! Do you think I want her to be like this!?b” /b

Killian gave a dramatic pause and when he was sure Michael was too speechless to speak, he talked again, but this time, his voiceced with pain.fn1d99 Readplete version only at FindN()vel/fn1d99

“I am his mate. On top of the vengeance that I have to carry for herte father, I have to keep her sane enough to face her fear, and heartbreak. You do know very well that she is very close to alpha Xaden, right? She is the apple in his eyes.”

Michael knew that. He knew that the death of her father would hit Jasmine very hard, but apparently, he

didn’t know much about it.

He was not aware how deeply the lost affected her.

“I am sorry for assuming the worst of you,” Michael said finally, his voice was defeated. “But, where did she get the drugs?”

“Royal beta Gayle.”

“I am going to kill him!” Michael was enraged.

“And then you will kill all of us without his support against the royal. Be quiet for now.”
