"Danny, why didn't you tell me you were coming to this party? If I knew about it, I would've saved my first dance for you.

" Jasmine said, still hugging Daniel, whose eyes were trained on Damien.

"Yeah? Who did you give your first dance to?

" Daniel asked, his eyes holding a strong glint that everyone apart from Jasmine was able to see.

"To the alpha king. He just looks so lonely and deprived of friends that I wanted to give him my friendship. I am a good girl, ain't I?

" Jasmine said looking at Daniel, who shifted his eyes from Damien to Jasmine, his gaze softening.

"My baby is the best.

" Daniel smiled sweetly, his hand tightening on Jasmine's waist.

"Danny, what are you doing here? You could've told me if you missed her. We were coming back tomorrow anyway.

" Alpha Sam came forward, not having any idea of what was going on here.

"That's okay. I couldn't bear to stay away from her any longer. I had to personally come and see to it that she is adapting well outside without me and hasn't encountered any problems with anyone.

" Daniel said, his eyes fixated on Damien, knowing all too well that he was listening to every word he was uttering.

As Jasmine felt Daniel's hands tightening on herself, she knew it was an indication that he wasn't very happy and was feeling protective of her again, thus, she hugged him back, however, as soon as she hugged him, she saw her grandma standing in front of her, staring at her angrily and couldn't help but cower a bit.

She knew that by looking at her dress, her grandma, who was a witch herself, would be able to know that she used her magic again and broke the rules.

"Danny, I broke the rule. Grandma looks angry,

" Jasmine whispered before hiding her face in his chest, smuggling as close she could.

Damien, who was watching everything with a cold look on his face, chuckled darkly at their interaction before he started walking towards the duo.

Hearing the dark chuckle, Jasmine lifted her head slightly to look at him, feeling embarrassed that she was behaving like this in front of the alpha king.

Knowing that her grandma won't punish her in front of soo many people, she straightened out, before saying,

"Danny, this is alpha king, Damien hunter, the king of werewolves, why didn't you ever told me about him?

"

"Alpha king, he is-

"

"Daniel,

" Damien said more like spat, cutting her off.

"No. He is Danny, my-

"

"My ex-beta and best friend, who looks like, has betrayed me.

" Alpha king said before he pulled Jasmine away from Daniel's arms harshly, making her stumble back.

Azrael immediately held Jasmine close to herself when she saw Damien pulling her away.

Looking at Daniel and Jasmine's earlier reaction, it was clear that he was living with her, or at least knew everything about her. He knew someone who looked exactly like Victoria and had been hiding her from Damien. Telling him about her was the least he could. It's not like he would've come to snatch her from him. She was not Victoria, anyways.

He couldn't help but feel betrayed at the thought of it.

Punching Daniel with all force he could muster to take out his anger, he sent him flying few feet away. Daniel was no better, he wanted to take out his anger on him for soo long that as soon as Damien punched him, he saw it as a perfect chance to fight him.

"Oh my god! Danny!!

" Jasmine yelled, shocked. She wanted to go to him and help him but was stopped by Azrael's hands stopping her.

Punching Damien right in the face, Daniel stood before kicking Damien, who dodged it easily.

Feeling his anger rising by each passing second, Damien held Daniel by his neck before punching his face, once, twice, thrice, then four times.

Azrael, who saw that this cooling-off anger fight was now taking an ugly turn, held Damien's hand to stop him from punching Daniel anymore.

Damien, who was too angry to care about anything, held Azrael's neck,

"Now… Now… It won't take me too long to snap this old bone, will it? Now before I do that, how about telling me everything?

" He said, his words void of any emotion and creepily dangerous.

"Alpha king! What are you doing! She is my grandma!

" Jasmine shouted, truly scared of him for the first time.

"I said tell me the truth, what's going on in here!

" Damien said, disregarding Jasmine's pleading.

"I said leave my grandma alone,

" Jasmine shouted and was about to use her witch powers, however, no matter how hard she tried, her witch powers didn't allow her to hurt Damien.

Opening her palms, she tried to chant a spell, but she felt like something was stopping her powers from reacting towards the alpha king. Her powers weren't even touching him, making her angrier now.

Feeling annoyed that her power wouldn't come out when she needed them the most, she screamed in frustration,

"Stop!!!!!

"

Her scream held so much power that all the glass windows, doors, and chandeliers broke because of its intensity.

Her scream and the aftereffect of it shocked everyone in the room, even her friends who were standing there, not knowing what to do in such a situation.

"Chris, Sean, bring everyone out,

" Theodore commanded before nodding at Rosaline, who started ushering females and kids out of the Hall.

Damien, who was holding Azrael's neck earlier, stopped momentarily, looking at Jasmine in shock.

"Stop it!

" Jasmine said, covering her ears and head as she sat down, feeling pained. All she could see right now was some black cloud that was clouding her vision and mind, along with the shooting pain in her body as if something was pushing her from inside, or was it something trying to suck her in?

"Daniel! Rub her back! Help her calm down!

" Azrael commanded, pushing Damien away, who was too shocked to react.

Hearing Azrael's order, Daniel immediately scooted closer to Jasmine before rubbing her back in a soothing way,

"Sssshhhh… Baby... It's fine. No one is hurting me. No one is hurting your grandma. We all are here. We all love you, just like how our little jazz loves us.

" He sighed before looking angrily at Damien, and muttered again,

"Even your new friend alpha king is fine. We all are fine. We are not fighting anymore. No one is fighting. Someone drugged alpha, that's why he was acting like this. Its effects are over. No one is going to be bad. Everyone is good, just like our Vict- Jasmine.

" Daniel corrected himself.

Seeing that it wasn't working, he sighed again before looking at Damien. He knew that they had differences and he hated the idea of it, but he also knew what was more important at the moment, which was calming Jasmine down before her powers decide to overpower her body and engulf her into their darkness.

"Hold her hand.

" He said looking at Damien, who looked at him as if he had grown two heads.

"Daniel, are you-

" Azrael started.

"I know what I am doing,

" Daniel shouted.

Damien, who was against the idea of holding her earlier, looked at her trembling form and could not help but step forward to hold her hand.

After a few minutes that felt like an eternity, Jasmine trembling started to calm down, and she looked up at Daniel and Damien simultaneously.

"You promise?

" Jasmine asked in a meek voice. A voice that broke Damien's hearts in million shards.

"Milly, take her to your room,

" Azrael said when she noticed them going out.

"Yes,

" Milly nodded, looking warily at Damien, afraid that he'll snap and hurt her.

Once she held Jasmine in her arms, she practically ran out of the Hall, afraid that he might hunt her down.

"I need answers, and I bloody hell intend on knowing about everything before I will let you both go this time,

" Damien said before turning around.

"Chris, Sean, pack your bags and belongings. Ask everyone to leave. The party is over, I already got my birthday present.

" He said before pausing and looking at Daniel.

"We are going back to Pearly Canines in an hour, and we are not going alone.

" He murmured, his gaze stating clearly, that he'll hunt down everyone who defies his order and leaves without his permission.
