Jasmine sighs as they finally reach the pack house, Elliot had been making her run here and there all day. He had asked her to take him for sight seeing around the pack lands and he wanted to walk and that is what they have been doing, walking all day!

How that person can have so much stamina she will never know and more over he had made her carry a picnic basket, which was of no use, when he did not even eat anything from it!

Then he had asked her to run back to the pack kitchen and get him what he wanted to eat five times!

She smiles happily, as now she can finally get rid of this annoying man. She takes a step towards her room when she is jerk back up to his chest.

"What is this, don't I get a thank you!" he asks her huskily as he whispers in her ear.

She stiffens at this closeness and tries to wiggle out only to stop when he moans.

"Keep doing that!" he moans halting her movement.

"Thank you! Now can you please, let me go!" she asks and he just chuckles.

"Oh come on! We had a good time together you can stay for a while cannot you. Join me for the dinner" he asks as his makes some circle around her arms and smells her hair.

She gulps down as she tries to move away from him but fails.

"What the hell is going on here?" Advin shouts as he sees Jasmine in someone else's arms. She jerks away from him and moves past them, as fast as she can.

Elliot looks her way and laugh's she is quiet something!

"Isn't she adorable" he comments as he turns to look at his future cousin in law.

"What were you two even doing?" he asks keeping a check on his temper.

How dare he touch her!

"Oh, I was just asking her to join me for dinner, I want her. Man she is hot and damn the way she blushes every time I come near her...

Then, there's this way she bites her lips and I really want those lips on me if you know what I mean?" he wiggles his brows at Advin.

"How do you know her?" he asks with a strain in his voice not liking the way he is talking about her, nope not liking at all!

"Oh, she was with me whole day we went to do some sight seeing but the sight I saw is totally different than what she showed me" He chuckles unaware of the danger lurking in front of him if he doesn't shut his mouth.

"I thought, I would seduce her after dinner and have some me time with her but damn she is too skittish" he sighs as he enters his room.

Advin turns around as he had heard enough of her from Elliot. He wolf claws at him to get free but he holds a tight grip on that.

How dare she go off flaunting herself, around in front of some unmated male ALONE! That girl has totally gone and done it, she just keeps pulling his strings repeatedly!

He barges into the kitchen and looks around for her but not seeing her, he turns around to go to her room when his father stops him!

"Hey Advin, the dinner's ready come on" Adrian shouts giving him no choice but to follow his father maybe after dinner he will meet his dear mate and give her a piece of his mind about wandering off in the woods with some other male, all alone.

Advin sits next to Amery, who smiles at him but he was not in the mood for that at all. Everyone greets him in the room before his father does a toast for him and Amery but he never hears a word as he is too busy berating his mate.

He cannot let go of the images his wolf is throwing at him about his mate and Elliot together in a very intimate embrace.

He gets cut off from his daze when Amery shakes him a bit and looks at him questioningly and he just smiles at her before eating his food which has no taste to it at all.

"Hey! Cousin" Elliot greets as he takes a seat next to Amery.

"Where were you today? I have been looking for you!" Amery scolds him but he just grins.

"I was a bit busy" he chuckles winking her way.

"Doing what?" she asks him in confusion as he looks very cheerful.

"Well you see yesterday, I found someone in my bathroom while I went for a shower. Boy, did she get a show from me!" he laughs whole-heartedly remembering the moment.

"Who are you talking about?" she asks as she chuckles, leave it to her cousin to find someone for his amusement.

"Well, her name is Jasmine and man is she hot!" he winks.

"Elliot!" Amery scolds her cousin for talking like that.

"She is a very good girl!" she says defending Jasmine.

"Yap, I bet she is a wild cat in the bed!" he says smugly as he sees her enter the room and gets up.

******

Advin sees red when he hears their talks, he has not even mated yet and already he finds his mate in someone else's bathroom.

He watches as they flirt with each other in doorway before getting up from his chair and moving towards them.

None other than Elliot blocks Jasmine's way making her groans mentally.

"Let me in!" she sighs but he just chuckles shaking his head no.

"Nope, you refused to have dinner with me so no way am I letting you in!" he teases.

She moves to right side to enter but so does he blocking her way, if she moves left so does he.

Being fed up; with him, she tries to push him off when he is jerk away from her at once.

She looks up to see a very angry...but her face is turn to the side so fast she does not even have the time to know what happened!

Everyone in the room stops what they were doing as they all watch in horror what just happened!

Advin lost it, when he saw them playful like that, he felt humiliated and without thinking anything or about anyone, he slapped her hard!

*******

Jasmine stands shocked at what just happened she could not believe what he just did. However, the throb of her left cheek clearly states what he did.

He did not just slap her; he broke her in to pieces as if he had not done that before. Not knowing what to do she stays still as she hears her wolf howl in her head and she finally accepts her mate's rejection.

"Don't you have any shame left, that you start flaunting yourself around unmated males? Are you so desperate to be with someone, that you watch them shower!" he shouts at her in rage.

"Get out of here and never show your face again!" he growls but she is too dazed to hear anything.

"GET OUT!" he roars when she just stands there.

Jasmine flinches back as he roars at her and jerks her head up as she feels her wolf surface before it fades away again.

Walking away from there not knowing where to go, but her feet knows better and she ends up in her room. She stares at nothing, as she feels numb, the only thing she can feel is the throb in her cheek before she gets up from her daze and starts doing the thing she should have done ages ago. It is time to move on!

*******

Everyone in the dining room looks at Advin in shock; they could not believe what just happened or what happened for him to act like that.

"Advin" Scar is the first one to speak but it breaks the trance they all were.

Adrian walks to his son and grabs him by his collar before pushing him on the wall.

"What the fuck was that?" he roars making everyone flinch back but not Advin.

"I just did what everyone in this pack people want to" he explains like slapping her was an everyday thing.

"Have you lost your mind? What has she ever done to you that you treated her like that?" Adrian asks still not believing what occurred moments ago. How could he let his own son treat the girl like that?

"Get out from my sight, before I do something we will all regret!" he warns as he turns his back to his own son and Advin walks out without a word.

Scar walks to her mate and puts her arms around him as she cries and tries to soothe him. Not knowing what else to do, they both retreat to their own room.

He will look after Jasmine in a while after he composes himself before facing her as he isn't sure how to confront the girl he vowed to protect and he failed on that part as soon as his own blood put his hands on her.

*******

Jasmine looks at the room one last time before picking up Mr. Brown from her bed. She walks to the hallway avoiding everyone's stare before knocking on the Alpha's door.

Adrian opens the door and tries to engulf her in his arms but she takes a step back. Adrian looks at her in disbelief before composing himself.

"Come on in!" he steps aside, but she just shakes her head.

"I came to say goodbye" she whispers.

"You aren't leaving Jasmine" he growls at her but she seems unfazed by it.

"I have never asked anything of you ever so I ask you to let me go please!" she pleads not wanting to have this discussion as she already made her decision.

Adrian shakes his head in denial; he cannot let her go not when she is not in the right state of mind after what happened few hours ago.

"No! I cannot do that. I don't know what happened between you two, but I know you won't be leaving this place" he finalizes.

"You aren't my Alpha, so you can't tell me what to do! Tell my goodbyes to Scar and Warren! Take care of yourself Adrian Martin. Thank you for all your hospitality, I will always owe you my life for saving me that night. Goodbye!" with that she turns and leaves in haste.

Adrian stands at the door too shocked to form a word, she never called him by his first name and right there she sounded his equal.

She never shifted to her wolf nor did he ever succeed in having the pack bond with her even if he announced she was pack and he knew from the beginning that he could never be her Alpha.

All these years, she was giving him that title out of respect for him and his mate. However, she was never obligated to him and this pack.

The moment her mother died, the title was shift to her and her being the last survivor of the pack that they know of, she is the Alpha of the summers pack.

Until right this moment even unknown to him, that she was not under her command never have been. Moreover, she is right he has no right to make decisions for her.

*******

Jasmine walks out of the door for the last time and turns around to see the house she had come to love as her home but this never was her home from the start.

Home, the one place she had lost all those years back but gained a new one here but now she is left alone, once an orphan always an orphan!

Lifting the bag, she had she walks away from the pack house not knowing where to go.

Jasmine sits on the bench and looks at all the people pass by, she bites her lower lip as she tries to think of any place she knows or can go. However, all her life she has never left the pack house. She had always gone from her school to the pack house. She has never put her feet outside of the town!

Finally, she concludes, that may be she can go back to her old pack town but was it a good idea. After all, she had left it ages ago. Well she can always start from there right or may be go to the town near her old pack.

With that determination she buys the ticket of the bus with the money she saved all her life it was not much but it would be enough for now. She takes a window seat on the bus, which will take her far away to the next town from this pack and near her old pack.
