Waking up in the evening, Jasmine looked around the room and was shocked to see that she wasn't alone.

Alpha Damien was also there sleeping on the couch, however, that wasn't the thing she was shocked about.

She was shocked to see a big bad Alpha sleeping on the couch with what looked like a women's cloth in his hands.

Was that a dress? It looked more like a nightdress of a girl.

"Pffttt…. Hahaha…

" Jasmine started laughing as soon as she came out of her shocked state.

Damien, who was sleeping peacefully earlier, opened his abruptly when he heard laughter around him and could not help but look at Jasmine with a confused gaze.

'Has fainting messed with her head now that she is laughing alone without any cause?' He thought before standing.

"The big bad alpha sleeps with a woman's nightdress. Hahaha…

" Jasmine said in between of her laughs, making Damien looked at the thing that had fallen on the ground when he had stood just now.

He looked at the dress that he had seen Victoria wearing, the last time he met at her birthday party with a soft look.

Earlier when Jasmine had acted differently with him and he had felt shocks by her touch, he had taken out this dress that he always carries with himself to protect himself from feeling the sense of loss from his belongings so that he could show this to Jasmine, and ask her if she remembered anything related to this dress.

Even a slight headache or pressure on her mind will give him some hope that she was maybe the Victoria he was trying to find for soo long and maybe had forgotten her memories, or he can't feel her as his mate because maybe she has sacrificed her wolf in that sacrifice spell.

Looking back towards the laughing girl on his bed, he remembered how she had acted before she lost her consciousness and couldn't help but feel a bit wary about it.

He wanted to check if she was Victoria or not, but he didn't know if he would be able to bear with it if she turns out someone else.

"What happened big alpha? Cat got your tongue?

" Jasmine teased before standing up and coming closer to where Damien was standing.

Reaching Damien, she was about to take the piece of cloth from his hand to examine it, however, before she could even touch it, Damien pulled her towards himself, making her eyes go wide as she gazed in his amber eyes, anticipating what was going to happen next.

Honestly, she didn't hate the idea of kissing this big bad alpha, who was totally her type.

She was a witch, and they don't really have this mate thing going around. It's all about love for them. And since this man who was just her type has lost his mate already, she didn't have to worry about him finding his mate and leaving her.

Thus, the thought of making him hers was looking more appealing to her more than ever.

Looking at the girl, who had closed her eyes involuntarily ready to be kissed, Damien sighed loudly before releasing her.

His Victoria was not like this. If he would've done the same thing with Victoria, she would've tried to push him away or shy a bit even when she knew they were mates.

"Since you are alright, you can take your leave now. I kept you here because I personally wanted to make sure that you are okay so that I don't feel guilty for making you faint as it was partly my fault.

" Damien said before turning and going towards his balcony.

Observing the walking Damien from behind, Jasmine was clear that he was hesitant. Like he wanted her but was stopping himself, or maybe that he was feeling attracted to her but was stopping himself because he was still in love with his mate.

"Listen here alpha king,

" She started after a long pause, making Damien turn to look at her.

"I Jasmine is hereby announcing that I am going to court you until you submit to me. When Jasmine wants it, she gets it. I'll make sure that you fall for my charms and have a place for me in that cold heart before you leave here.

" Jasmine said before going out of the room while closing the door with a loud bang, leaving a confused and complicated Damien behind.

"That's what I am most worried about. I have met you today, and I already feel like I am attracted to your charms.

Am I betraying Victoria by feeling these emotions for someone else? Someone, who looks like her but is probably not her?

" Damien thought aloud, closing his eyes, trying to remember the good moments with Victoria and soothing his heart.

"Hey, what going on here?

" Jasmine asked Milly the first thing she reached their designated room.

"Oh my god, Jazz! You are finally awake. We were just now discussing that we should go and check up on you since it has been 6 hours since you fainted and was taken to alpha king's room. Right, Brittany?

" Milly said with a glint in her eyes that confused Jasmine.

"Umm... Yeah... We were deciding who would go in the devil's Den to check-up on you.

" Brittany said with an awkward laugh.

It was clear to Jasmine that this wasn't exactly the talk they were having and something wasn't right here.

Shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly, thinking it must be some pack things that she isn't usually involved in, she smiled reassuredly at them, before muttering,

"Don't worry, I am fine. Alpha King isn't as bad as the rumours about him are.

"

"Yeah? Then, tell us, Jasmine, how good he is?

" Tiffany asked with a tone that was getting on Jasmine's nerves now.

"Haha… What Tiffany meant was, why do you think he is not that bad? Did he took good care of you?

" Milly said before signalling Brittany, who took Tiffany out of the room, proving Jasmine's suspicion right.

Something indeed wasn't right here today.

"Nothing in particular, but I think that the fact that I came out alive is enough a good thing, isn't it?

" Jasmine laughed, hiding everything that transpired in the Alpha's room.

She didn't know why, but something inside her told her that she should not be talking about that to her friends right now.

"Well, you are right.

" Milly laughed before going towards her suitcase.

"So, it's evening already, what dress are you wearing for the evening dance?

" She asked, taking took out her own dark violet dress that looked really beautiful.

"What do you mean evening dance?

"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Since it's the Alpha king's birthday today, the Royal Palace has also organised an evening dance. It's basically so that Alpha king can dance with either Melissa, Laila, or any girl that isn't mated and showcase that he will be having a luna soon.

" Milly explained.

"I don't really think I'll be joining you guys. I feel like resting a bit more. I don't think I'll be able to handle all the crowd. Huge gatherings are not good for me, and I have learned my lesson from the last time, when the pack members had arranged the celebration for your parent's 20th wedding anniversary. Besides, I am not into these dance things, remember?

" Jasmine said before plopping onto the bed.

Since the girls were already ready before Jasmine entered, Milly slipped in her dress before fixing her hair one more time.

"I'll be going then. In my opinion, you should come. It's really fun, and well, you'll get to see many hot species of man, even better than those models that you gaze at.

" Milly said in a way to lure her into this.

And it indeed worked.

"Yeah? Then, I think I should give it a chance. Let me see what can I wear and will be there in around half-hour. Till then, you can go goodie-goodie with your mate before alpha Sam comes and takes him with him.

" Jasmine said, making Milly shy, who slapped her shoulder playfully before running out of the room, embarrassed.

Looking at the ceiling, Jasmine thought if she could wear those not-so-fancy dresses from Milly to the party, but those were too plain to be called a dance attending dress. If she would've gone shopping with the girls rather than strolling in the ground and fainting, then she wouldn't have to think so much about a dress.

"Wait… Milly said that alpha king will be dancing with an unmated girl, right?

" Jasmine thought aloud before smirking,

'Well, I can be that girl.'

With that, she stood in front of the mirror and summoned the witch powers to find a suitable dress for herself. She should be well prepared, she can't embarrass the king, dancing with him in pyjamas, can she?
