"So today, I have invited you all to let you know that your Alpha king, Damien hunter, is finally 21 years old. Yesterday was his birthday ceremony in the riverside hotel, and it was celebrated grandly with Alpha and mates from all over the world.

I know that you love your king very much and wanted to celebrate his birthday, and thus, for that reason, we have organized a small party for him. All those who have prepared a gift for him, you can give them to him at that party.

He'll be coming back anytime soon. Also, I have a piece of good news for you all. Daniel, the former beta of Alpha king Damien, will also be returning with him today.

" Theodore completed, making everyone holler with applaud.

Looking at his wife Rosaline, who nodded at him and urged him to continue further, he sighed in defeat before looking at the people once again.

"Now regarding the luna of the kingdom that everyone has been soo worried about-

" Theodore started, however, his words were cut short when the door of the mansion was opened with a bang, surprising everyone, however, what surprised everyone more was the words that were spouted by the girl, who has opened the gate.

"Welcome, your highness. The queen is back.

" Jasmine said before the possession she was feeling in her body was released.

Looking back at Danny, surprised, she took a step back before hiding her face in Danny's chest.

The thoughts that she might know what she was doing, or she had a gist of people behind the door, or her memories might've been triggered, immediately vanished when Daniel and Damien saw her hiding shyly.

"Let's go,

" Damien said, nodding at Daniel, who nodded back at him in understanding.

Walking among the crowd like the King he was, Damien climbed the stairs before sitting on the large throne chair as his secretary Melissa immediately stepped forward to place the throne crown on his head.

"I want to do that.

" Jasmine suddenly said, confused.

Since almost everyone was silent because of the presence of the king, everyone heard her words crystal clear and looked at the girl strangely.

"Do what, Jazz?

" Daniel asked awkwardly.

"I also want to sit on that thing,

" Jasmine said like it was the most normal thing in the world, and everyone in the room gasped at the insolent girl, who was disrespecting the king like this.

"You cannot sit there, Jasmine. Only a king can sit there. Even if we allow you and let you sit there, you won't be able to sit there because this is the throne of the king. A person can only sit on it when he becomes the king. If you will try to push your way in it, you'll get hurt.

" Daniel said before looking at everyone in an apologizing manner.

This wasn't the first time when she had asked about sitting on a throne seat like this, however, this was indeed the first time when she had expressed her thoughts in front of so many people.

And why won't she want to sit on one? Ain't she a born queen?

"Then the one beside it? Can I sit on it? It looks good too.

" Jasmine said with pleading eyes.

Looking at her pleading eyes, Daniel looked at the throne of the queen with complicated eyes while Damien became tempted to say yes to her request.

"How can this be possible? That's the throne of the Queen, and you've to be the queen to sit there.

" Melissa, Damien's secretary said with a soft voice, however, the contempt in her voice was clear to Jasmine, who narrowed her eyes at her.

"That's okay, then. I'll sit on the throne of my own kingdom.

" Jasmine said before nodding and taking Daniel out of the mansion with herself.

Damien, who was about to retort at Melissa, looked at his love going out of the mansion with a dejected look and couldn't help but clench his fist in anger.

Looking angrily at Melissa, making that latter cower back in fear, he looked at his people, his gaze softening a bit.

"Hey, wasn't that Victoria?

"

"Victoria? Victoria, who?

"

"Don't you remember the girl from two years back? The one who had declared herself as the Alpha king's mate so boldly?

"

"She indeed looks like her.

"

"I heard that Alpha king was also in love with her.

"

"But hadn't she disappeared after that war?

"

"I think she came back, to become the queen because Alpha king couldn't find his mate.

"

Melissa, who was standing there with her head bowed, listened to their whisperings and couldn't help but squint her brows.

Victoria? Was she really Victoria?

She was already having enough hard time with Laila, and now she'll have to deal with this girl who is called Victoria too?

"Jasmine, you can't speak your thoughts in front of soo many people like this. How many times have I told you to control this chatterbox of yours.

" Daniel reprimanded her as soon as they got out.

"But it was pretty,

" Jasmine said with a dejected look, making a cute pout.

Walking towards the forests quietly while Daniel was following her, she stopped at the clearing before taking a deep breath.

"Jasmine, what are you-

" Daniel started but stopped when he saw her body emitting black fog.

"Jasmine! What the hell? You are not allowed to perform your magic here.

" Daniel shouted but to no avail did she stopped as she lifted herself in the air.

Soon he saw a throne seat, even bigger than that of what was placed in the mansion, embedded with beautiful gems.

Sitting on the throne seat, she smiled, her body still emitting that black cloud.

Thinking that she was just having fun, and wanted to complete her wish of sitting on a throne, Daniel sighed in relief before leaning on a tree and chuckling to himself.

With the amount of concern and worry he was having for her, it looks like he will grow old even before he'll turn 25.

"That's enough, Jasmine. Let's go back.

" Daniel said with his eyes closed.

He frowned when he didn't get any reply and was about to speak again when he smelled that, the smell of snakes.

Opening his eyes abruptly, he was about to change into his wolf form, however, what he didn't expect was Jasmine to be sitting on her throne with all the snakes close to her foot.

"Jasmine, what are you doing?

" Daniel asked, bewildered.

"I am trying to form my own kingdom. I wanted good animals to gather, but all I could find were these snakes.

" Jasmine pouted.

Daniel -

"...

" From where does she even get such ideas?

"Umm… I'll think about something. Besides, Azrael will punish you once she finds out that you used your magic again, and well, tried to make a kingdom of snakes, right?

" He paused, chuckling at the last part before continuing,

"Come down, and well, send them back too.

" Daniel huffed.

Looking at the girl that closed her eyes t send the snakes back, he couldn't help but sigh with impatience. He didn't even realize how he had become her father-like figure from her friend. Controlling her was indeed becoming a difficult task with each passing day. The fact that she was growing stronger was an added trouble.

Holding her hand once he saw her magic residing, he took her, more like pulled her pouting self out of the forest to back inside the mansion.

"Where have you been?

" Damien asked as soon as he saw them since he had been pacing in the hall for the past 10 minutes.

"I..

"

"We went for a walk because she needed to calm down her desires.

" Daniel cut her off, making her pout again.

"Oh, okay,

" Damien said, a bit suspicious.

"I wanted you to meet my family. Here, Rosaline Roosevelt, my mother, the former Queen, Theodore Roosevelt, my father, the former King, Laila, the daughter of a council member, Melissa, my secretary that handles trivial matters around the mansion, and you've met Chris and Sean already.

" Damien said, making Jasmine look at each one of them slowly.

"Hello everyone, I am Jasmine,

" Jasmine said respectfully to everyone, knowing that they belonged to royals.

'What a bitch, pretending as if she doesn't know us, only to get in good books of Damien.' She heard a random thought, making her jerk her head up as she looked directly into the eyes of the traitor.

"Pardon?

" Jasmine said, walking closer to the girl, who had just called her a bitch in her thoughts.

"Melissa, right? I didn't know there was such a toxic tongue behind a pretty face, but let me tell you, what you think about me, even if you don't speak or express your thoughts through your facial expression, I can read all of them because,

" Jasmine said, scooting more closer to her before continuing,

"- I can hear you pretty well, sweetie.

" She smiled a wicked smile as she whispered it, for only her to listen before extending her hand for her to shake.

Melissa, who had always enjoyed the perks and benefits of being the Alpha king's secretary, looked at her with a proud gaze before extending he hand to shake her hand, however, as soon as she took Jasmine's hand in hers, she felt an immense amount of pain when Jasmine held her hand a bit too strongly for her to be able to handle.

"I hope you take my words with seriousness, and the next time you call me a bitch remember, I can turn you into one,

" Jasmine whispered before smiling at everyone, who looked at her with a confused gaze.

"She is such a nice lady,

" Jasmine said as if nothing happened before releasing her hand. Melissa, whose face had been paled because of the amount of pressure Jasmine had executed, immediately hid her hand behind her back to massage it.

"Laila? I feel like I have heard of this name before.

" Jasmine said before going towards Laila.

Remembering how Victoria had almost killed her when she had found out the truth, Laila involuntarily took a step back, seeing Victoria's look-alike.

"Why are you stepping back. Don't worry, I don't stab-

" Jasmine paused, making Laila's eyes go wide, before smiling,

"-or bite, like Werewolves.

" Jasmine smiled before shaking her hand casually, making everyone laugh as she turned around towards Theodore.

"I like you. You look cool.

" She commented funnily, making Theodore chuckle as he pulled her in for a hug.

Moving next to Rosaline, she looked deeply into her eyes, and as Rosaline was about to hold her hand, she jerked her hand away, making Rosaline stiffen in her actions as she looked at Jasmine, who went back to Daniel.

"I don't like her. She looks like the type to betray her words.

" Jasmine whispered in Daniel's ears, making his eyes go wide before he put his hand on her mouth.

"I think she just wants to rest,

" Daniel said before taking her up to where his room used to be.
