When Daniel went inside, he looked at the strange atmosphere in the dining hall. Squinting his brows, he sat beside before looking at Jasmine's empty plate and placed some more pasta into it.
"What are you doing staring at others like this? Eat your food." Daniel said, hitting her head with his finger in a playful manner, making her scowl.
"I wasn't staring. I was just looking. Besides, what use I'll get from staring here, I can't even-" Jasmine stopped before stuffing her mouth with more food angrily, making Daniel chuckle.
"Eat your food, and I'll take you out after that, Yeah? Also, a party is arranged for the alpha king in the evening to celebrate his birthday. Do you want me to take you shopping?" He asked, making her eyes visibly brighten.
"Let's go shopping first, we will go to your house later tonight. Also, you need to buy a bra-" Jasmine's words were cut off by Daniel placing his hand on her mouth before pushing more food into her mouth.
"Haha…what are you talking about. We will shop for whatever you want. First, eat your food. Okay?" Daniel chuckled awkwardly.
"Youu shtufeed wy mouse. I can't eath." She said with her mouth stuffed with food.
"Then stop talking and start chewing," Daniel said, barely controlling his laughter at her face that was resembling an egg now.
All the while, Damien was eating his food with his head bowed as his inner self was seething with irritation.
'This relationship between Daniel and my girl, whatever it is, I need to find it as soon as possible.' he thought resolutely before stabbing his food with a fork.
"Daniel, how does this look? It will match perfectly with your suit that you will be wearing." Jasmine asked, coming out of the dressing room.
"You look stunning, my princess," Daniel said while texting his parents.
"Or do you like this one more? I am confused between the two." Jasmine asked, lifting a crystal blue colored gown.
"I think violet suits you better because of your hair," Daniel said, making her pout.
"Fine, let's go." She said, turning around and giving the dress to the salesgirl.
Looking at her dejected face, Daniel chuckled to himself before motioning another sales girl to pack the crystal one too, who smiled at him in understanding.
Meanwhile in the mansion, in the shower, Damien stood still below the showerhead to calm his emotions.
"It's been so long since we last saw each other Carla. Do you enjoy this game of hiding with me? Can't you see I am dying slowly in the sorrow of my love?" He thought, a tear falling from his eyes.
He knew that he needs to make Jasmine remember the truth about Victoria soon so that Victoria can suppress her and take over her body again. Only that way, he will be able to know the whole truth about what happened to his Carla that day. That day when he thought he lost everything.
Closing his eyes, leaning on the other wall, he smiled at his faint memories of Carla smiling in his arms.
Cooking was Carla's favorite pastime, and more than that she loved to eat. She was extremely sneaky, and there were many times when she had made him stand in a difficult situation.
There was this one time when she suddenly had started kissing him in front of the public with all the elders present in the hall, and when Damien had lost it and had pulled her to a room so that he can punish this mischievous girl, she had acted as if nothing happened. There was this one time when she had pushed him into the pool when they were having a poolside party with many alphas. There were many times like this, and everyone knew about her tactics after a year.
Everything was going okay, until one day he came. Daniel Neptune, one of the most powerful witches of the dark world. He took a fancy to Carla, and what hurt him most was that Carla was also feeling attracted to this Daniel, even with him in the picture.
Things had started to go downhill from then only. One day he had even gone to the extent of almost slapping her in front of everyone when she had danced with Daniel. That was the day that marked the downfall of their relationship.
What surprised him most was, Daniel wasn't alone who wanted her, there was Ashton also, the vampire king who wanted her.
Why everyone wanted his Carla was still a mystery to him, however, he knew that-
"Alpha, your clothes are placed on the bed." His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a female's voice.
"Okay, you can leave now," Damien said before switching off the water from the showerhead.
Sighing loudly as his mind wandered off again to the Lala land, he took a towel, wrapping it around his body before exiting the bathroom to get changed since he had a party to attend.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I asked you to leave?" Damien asked as soon as he saw Melissa sitting on the chair while looking at a photo frame of Alexander and Victoria.
"Alpha, I…I wanted to tell you that your brother Robert is back, and he wants to talk to you about the case of the rogues," Melissa said, immediately standing.
"Tell him that we can talk after the party," Damien said.
Melissa, who had deliberately waited for him in his room, looked at his appealing body and out of the shower glow. The dripping water from his body was an added allure to his charms.
Gulping loudly, she looked at his chest, her gaze trailing down to the v of his abdomen that was hidden behind the towel. How much she wanted to touch those biceps, and lay under that sturdy chest was beyond imagination. She wanted him to do anything to her as long as it means that she will belong to him.
She was not greedy and didn't want the throne, she was more interested in the man himself, unlike Laila. In fact, she was ready to become his side chick or a bed buddy if she gets the pleasure of being under him every night.
"What are you still doing here? I said I'll talk to him after the party. Close the door behind you." Damien said with a dark look when he noticed her sitting and gazing at him through the mirror.
"Yes, alpha. Right away, alpha." Melissa stuttered, exiting the room.
Smirking at the girl coldly, he smiled knowing his next step.
To be honest, he knew about Melissa's fantasy regarding him but the only reason he wasn't retaliating or throwing her out was that he knew she is an extremely important pawn in bringing out Victoria.
Isn't jealousy a woman's biggest emotion?
Tonight he will make sure that it becomes a memorable night for everyone.
"Tonight, I'll make sure that it becomes a memorable night for everyone." Jasmine thought at the same time.
