"One room for us, one room for Alpha king, and one room for Chris and Sean is that fine?" Daniel asked Chris to confirm before booking rooms.

"Yeah, if you guys are comfortable, I mean. Won't it get a bit stuffy with three people in a room?" Chris asked. ​​

"Who said there are three people in our room? It's me and Jas only. Azrael never sleeps in bed at night. She loves to teleport herself to be a kingdom at night." Daniel shrugged.

"And Jasmine won't have a problem sleeping with you? I mean, she is a girl and isn't even your mate." Sean asked, confused.

"That's our problem, I guess." Daniel smiled as soon as Jasmine and Damien came into view.

"It's so big, Danny. The fountain outside is especially cool." Jasmine hollered with happiness, linking arms with him.

"Let's get you in our room now, shall we? It's time for your routine anyways. I am sure you didn't do any of it. Right?" Daniel asked her, taking their keys in hand.

"Umm… I couldn't do it without you. And nobody else helped." Jasmine said like a wronged kid.

"That's okay. I am here now, I'll do it for you. Also, look at your hairs, I told you to take proper care of them, didn't I?" He said, leading her towards the elevator.

"Don't you think that Daniel treats her like his wife? Even normal husbands don't take care of their wives like that. I bet if Daniel is really her-" Sean said, not even once looking at Chris, who was pleading to him to stop with his eyes.

Nudging Sean when he thought that he wasn't going to stop anytime soon and would create trouble for both of them, Chris signaled him up to look at Damien, whose eyes were turning a shade darker now.

"I…I am sorry, Alpha." Sean immediately bowed.

Looking at the person, bowing to him, Damien nodded at them before taking his keys and going towards the elevator.

He wanted to be angry at them, but there was no point in that, knowing very well that every word he said was indeed right. Daniel's proximity and care for Jasmine/ Victoria were indeed questionable. Not to mention that it was Daniel to whom Azrael went when she needed anybody to take care of her.

There were plenty of people in the pack, not forgetting Victoria's aunt Marla, however, Azrael only went to Daniel's door, who already had complicated feelings and emotions towards her.

Not only was it questionable, but highly suspicious too.

"In your mansion? But why? I'll live where Danny lives." Jasmine said as soon as Damien mentioned to her that she was to live in the mansion with him because she was his guest.

"Well, Daniel also lives in the mansion," Damien said, clenching his fists.

"Then why are you even asking me? Jasmine lives where Danny lives." Jasmine shrugged.

"First, can you stop calling him Danny for fuck's sake?!" Damien shouted angrily, making her jump in surprise.

"Don't yell at her!" Looking at her surprised look, Daniel immediately shouted back.

"How dare-" Damien wanted to shout, however, when his eyes landed on Jasmine hiding her head in Daniel's chest, he huffed loudly before exiting the room, closing the door with a loud bang behind him.

"Why is he angry, Danny? Did I do anything wrong?" Jasmine asked as she nuzzled her head further in Danny's chest.

It was something that Daniel and Azrael have always asked her to do. If she feels complicated, surprised, shocked, sad, or irritated, then she needs to hug the closest familiar person she has.

It was to calm her heart down so that her powers can stay in control, till the time she doesn't know her full strength and how to control it.

"Well, my name is Daniel indeed, but you didn't do anything wrong. He is just angry because he is jealous. He is jealous that I have such a sweet girl by my side, who calls me so affectionately." Daniel tickled her, making her laugh.

However, the thought that Damien was angry and jealous because she calls Daniel Danny, didn't leave her mind.

During the night, Jasmine, who was sleeping on the bed, sat on the bed and looked at Daniel's sleeping face from afar. It was quite visible that he was not comfortable on that couch, however, he was still giving her space was enough to swell her heart with warmth.

Tipping toe out of the room, she looked at the room across which she remembered was Damien's room and couldn't help but knock at his door.

"Jasmine? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Damien asked as soon as he saw her standing at the other side of the door.

Honestly, he had been trying to sleep for a long time and was quite irritated thinking about Jasmine's closeness with Daniel. When he heard the knock on the door, he was about to yell at the person for interrupting his sleep, however, before he could do that, he smelled a familiar scent and immediately rushed to open the door.

"Since you are always angry but sometimes gives me a soothing feeling, like how people pray for rain on the scorching hot summer day, and the thunderstorms are a sign of relief for them because they also bring cold gentle breeze, and like how, they bring happiness to many faces, you are just like that to me.

You might be an angry bad wolf king for everyone else, but for me, you are one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You are my thunder.

That's why, just like how you gave me a nickname, mine, and I gave a nickname to Daniel, Danny, you are my thunder, and that's why thunder is your nickname for me." Jasmine said before kissing his cheeks and going back to her room closing her door with a soft click.

Damien, who was too shocked to react to her sweet confession, touched his cheek, involuntarily smiling at his thoughts. As he closed the door, it was only then did he realize. what she had said.

She called him thunder! Freaking Thunder!! She said that he was like a clap of thunder for her, that thunder was his nickname.

Repeating those thoughts again and again as he remembered how Victoria had called him a thunder when she had seen him for the first time, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

Does that mean that Victoria was close to him, and the chances of bringing her back were more than ever before?

The next morning, everyone was ready to go back to the mansion, and the pleasant smile on Jasmine's face was like a refreshing breeze for both Daniel and Damien as they entered their cars respectively to go back to the mansion, which was only ten kilometers away now.

"Wow! It's so huge!! It's a freaking Disney palace!" Jasmine exclaimed as soon as the mansion started to come into view.

"Danny, you live here? In this freaking mansion? Why didn't you brought me here ever? You are such a Meany!" Jasmine complained, her eyes glued to the mansion.

Stopping the car in front of the mansion, Daniel rolled his eyes at her over-enthusiastic face, however, his face was filled with happiness too as he looked at the mansion that has been his home for more than 19 years.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" Damien said, holding her other free hand before leading her.

Stepping her first foot on the pavement, Jasmine's smile froze when an image of a woman lying on it covered in blood appeared on her mind.

Shaking her head to discard the useless hallucination, she took another step and saw a man covered half in blood, making her stumble a little.

Signing loudly, she put a barrier to stop her mind from hallucinating soo much, and it indeed helped

Looking at the closed doors, the guards were about to open the door for the King and his guests, however, before they could even touch the knob, Jasmine immediately stopped them.

"Can I open the door? Please?" She looked at Damien with pleading eyes, who shook his head before smiling and nodding.

However, Daniel on the other hand when gazed into her black eyes, immediately started to have a bad feeling about it. He knew she was up to something mischievous again.

And just like he had expected, she took a step forward, before extending her hands, her fingers glittering with purple glitter.

As Jasmine was about to open the door, it felt like her body was possessed with something because as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt like someone taking over her for a brief time, as she opened the door with a loud bang,

"Welcome your highness. The queen is back." Jasmine said in a powerful voice that was foreign even to herself. A voice so powerful that every corner of the mansion echoed with her power.

Both Damien and Daniel looked at each other at her unexpected powerful voice and words, but what shocked them both was the presence of all the council members and half of the pack inside the mansion.

No wonder the pack was so quiet when they were coming here.

But the main question was, what were they doing here? And did Jasmine said those words because she knew about the presence of these people behind the gates?
