Once they reach the pack border both Advin and Lex visibly relax, Advin goes to wake Jasmine just before the gates to the pack opens.

Rubbing her eyes jasmine looks around her taking in her surrounding and smiles seeing that they are back, once the fog of sleep is lifted she stiffens noticeably making Advin to look at her in question.

"What if the people..." she starts only to cut off by Advin's smile

"You will be surprised how much they missed you. It seems we both misjudged about their behavior as well as intentions, they had already accepted you a long time ago...

It was just us who didn't see it" he nuzzles her neck as she smiles sweetly.

Lex stops the car before jumping out and opening Ad's door for them to step out as well.

"Welcome back Jas, now if you will excuse me I will go seek my mate out first. See you guys later" he grins striding off to seek out Lily

"Come on" Advin pulls Jasmine with him as they make their way inside their home

Scarlet comes running as soon as she feels her son has returned back with Jasmine, she smiles hugging them both tightly.

"Oh Jasmine, I'm so glad you are back. I am so sorry for what happened and how could you say goodbye to Rain but not me? Not that I will ever let you say goodbye to me and ever leave this pack" Scar gushes pulling her future daughter-in-law to her son's room

"Ho...I redecorated Advin's room to make it perfect for the both of your liking. Rain was busy the whole day with phone calls and meeting so I thought to redecorate the room before you two came back...

I mean if anything to go by Advin won't let you step out of his room, he is so much like Rain, do you know when I left him or kind of disappeared on him too just like you did not that our situation is the same...

Rain, he is such a romantic and caring man, he never let me out of the room if you know what I mean" she smiles swooning remembering her days

"Ma" Advin's groans not wanting to hear how his parents were when they mated

"Ho...sorry, I got side tracked, you two must be tired I will go and bring some refreshments for you both while you settle in" Scar claps her hands before waltzing back

"Is it just me or does she seem extra excited?" Jasmine asks as she giggles seeing Scar so excitedly, which she seems to get all the time.

"She is just happy we are back" Advin answers as he lies on the bed pulling Jasmine into his arms

"Welcome home baby" he whispers kissing her forehead

"Thank you" Jasmine sighs deeply closing her eyes, as she is still tired

"Want to shower?" Ad asks her and she nods but doesn't get up making him chuckle

"Come on, lazy bean" Advin chuckles as he holds her in his arms carrying her to the bathroom for a much-needed shower.

*******

"Ariel" Erika exclaims seeing the girl as she joins them for dinner

"Hello" Ariel smiles happily seeing Erika

"How're you? Did you finally have enough brains to leave Dante's house?" she asks in a hurry making Jean laugh

"As you we too came for the ceremony, Erika" Jean answers saving Ariel from the awkwardness

"Darn and here I thought you guys threw her out anyway when are you mating my son?" she asks eagerly to the girl making some of the people at the table choke at her forwardness

"Mom" Engel groans glaring at her

"Will you stop forcing everyone to mate? And anyway I don't think she has ever met Eric" she scolds her mother who narrows her eyes

"First I'm not forcing anyone, if you are talking about yourself now that's a different story because you aren't getting any younger and the sooner you mate with Gio the sooner I can get rid of you as well as let the guy have some peace...

Damn you for being so selfish poor Gio at this rate he must have a serious case of blue balls, can you imagine he is still holding his 'V' card for you?" she asks looking at her daughter in disbelief who rolls her eyes

"I never asked him to wait" she grumbles feeling a tiny bit sorry for the guy

"No one asks to be fated with anyone it just happens but that doesn't mean we miss the opportunity...

Gio is a wonderful guy, you should have him while you can not treat him like that" Erika states once again before focusing on the table and smiling at Ariel

"Ladies" Advin's voice makes them all look at his way with a smile

"Oh, you are back" Ariel is the first one to jump off her seat and hug him

"Hey Ariel" Advin smiles ruffling her hair before asking Jasmine to come forward

"So, well...I mean you all know Jasmine and guys she is my mate" he grins holding her close to him

A chorus of congratulation passes from the women before he pulls out a chair for her to have a seat. Advin smiles a thank you to them as he pulls a chair out for Jasmine to have a seat on.

"So, is the mating happening or not?" Erika asks as soon as they all settled down

"Erika" Jean elbows her making Erika glare

"What? We all gathered to celebrate his mating the least he could do is carry on with it and I am really dying to see at least someone mate this year...

I have zero expectation from my own daughter while my son is away for god knows how long and it seems your son isn't having any progress even if Dante literally kidnapped Ariel away...

So, it comes down to Advin" she explains the obvious making all of them laugh

"We haven't discussed it yet" Advin voices feeling a bit awkward talking about it to everyone while Jasmine avoids any eye contact with him

"What's there to discuss? All you have to do is be naked, wait please do not tell me you do not know how to do it...

Want me to give you some brownie points or make you a collection of Cd's and magazines, it definitely worked in my case" she shrugs suggesting it

Everyone in the room bursts out laughing while Advin, Jasmine and Engel look at her in horror.

"Oh my god, it's never a dull moment when you are here Aunt Eri. I don't know about Advin but you can sure make some collection for me" Jane winks at Erika ignoring her mother's gasps

"You two are unbelievable" Jean shakes her head as she knows that beside Dante these two girls are as bad as him

"I feel for you Jane, your mother is a total prude good thing you have a father no mater how humiliating it is to have him as one he is not so prude" Erika sighs sadly making all of them laugh again

"What are you all laughing at?" Scar asks as she enters the room

Advin pulls a chair out for his mother before settling in his own and serving them some dinner.

"We are having bedroom talks" Erika offers before she looks around the table to find some seats empty

"Oh wait, where are others" she asks as if remembering now that along with her mate most of the men are missing from the table

"They are having some emergency meeting" Jean answers not going into detail about exactly what

"What's so new? They always are having emergency meetings" Erika shrugs not interested at all

"Wow, who are you and what have you done to Erika? There was a time when you used to try to sneak into every one of these emergency and secrets meetings what happened to that?" Jean fake gasps in horror

"Those days are gone, now I can't even stand Enzo 100ft. away from me because that's what he does, stay far, far away from me" Erika sighs sadly before banging her head on the table

Not knowing what to say to make her feel better, they all ignore Erika and silently eat their food.

*******

"What's wrong with your aunt Erika and her mate?" Jasmine asks once they are alone wondering around the pack grounds

"Hmm...oh, I guess they stopped trying to see how much they still love each other. Uncle Enzo spends most of his time being busy with his duties as an Alpha as well as handling the organization, if not that, he is trying to figure out a way to cure his daughter...

Moreover, for Aunt Eri, she just cannot stand when he ignores her, which he is not doing deliberately, but still he is doing it and then there is the case of Gio and Engel...

They were two peas in a pod once, he adores the ground she walks and she could not even fall asleep without him being next to her...

But something changed between them, Engel started to isolate herself, she shut down each and every one of us, we tried but only Uncle Enzo could succeed and Gio it was like some one switched her off button, she can't even bear being in the same room with him...

I just wish she could see how much she is hurting the guy and that's also the next reason why there are problems between Engel and her mother...

Gio is like her first son, she can't stand anyone hurting him as much as someone hurting Engel or Eric and the one person who is destroying his happiness is her own daughter" Advin explains sadly before he smiles encouragingly to Jasmine who smiles back

"Will it be like that between us as well?" she asks meekly halting their walk

"I don't know what the future will hold for us but what I do know is we will face it together. For every tear you spill and every laugh you will have I will be there next to you, with my love and support being your strength while you will be mine" he explains making sure she understands everything he said

"Thank you" Jasmine whispers teary-eyed kissing his palms that cup her face.

"And I would also want to apologize for striking you and for every time I was being a coward when it came to us...

And just for the record you can slap me back as many times as you want for whatever I did and whenever I do anything wrong" Advin adds while they were on the topic

"I have already forgiven you Advin, you coming back for me was all the proof I needed that I meant something to you...

It may sound weird but I am not mad with you for striking me" she strokes his cheek lightly as she speaks

"Still I shouldn't have put my anger towards you" he whispers in guilt

"It's alright Advin, what was done is done. Let us not dwell on it and taint what we have now...

Its better that we show our anger to each other and solve it rather than holding it in and hurting each other" she smiles before getting on her tiptoes and pressing her lips to his

"I love you and I swear these hands will never be up to strike you again but only caress you" he states as he pulls her into his arms content.

"I know and also I love you more" she whispers back happy to be in his arms finally

*******

"How can you let the girl go? We had the perfect opportunity and because of your stupidity we can never get our hands on her" the man hisses frustrated on the turn of event

"It wasn't my fault that those idiots couldn't catch the girl, it seems that someone else reached the girl before we did and you know if someone knew about our existence then what would happen?" the voice through the phone snaps back at the man

"Fine, whatever the girl has already reached the ground now it will be even harder to throw her out as she is literally attached with her mate...

Do, you know how hard it will before us to make her leave the ground all alone? Once she is mated then forget about catching her, we need to either distract them and stop this mating" the man states as he can't handle the pressure of this all

"Rile the pack, make them see she is an abomination also clear out a way for my men to get in the pack, there will be enough distraction and once they are done no one will want that girl around not even her mate" the voice snickers as a laugh gets out of both their mouth
