Yasmin:

“Hey,” I said, smiling at Leonardo who was walking out of the tunnel with three of the pack members.

“Hi, Yasmin.” He said, putting a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Do you need anything here?”

“I was coming to see you, actually. They told me that you were taking care of the tunnels, and I figured to come and see you. You know, it has been a long while since the two of us have managed to talk and you know, have fun together…”

“I am busy, Yasmin. Plus, I think that you are going to need to go inside. Matias would be looking for you and with everything going on, I doubt that he would appreciate you being out for a long time.” He said, and I frowned.

“You know that I am not a child. He is well aware that I can fight if I need to, and I doubt that I am going to need to ask him to roam around the pack, am I?” I asked, and he shook his head at me, growing somewhat annoyed.

“Yasmin, go inside and find something else for you to do. I am busy, and there is a lot more for me to handle then a little argument, wouldn’t you agree?” He asked, making my heart ache. “please, let me finish what I have in hand. I am sure that you are going to find yourself someone else to entertain you.”

“I am not looking for someone to entertain me, Leonardo. I was looking for you and wanted to spend time with you. But I

at me as if I were a three year old. The idea of the man looking at me as if I were some child wasn’t something that I liked, but I knew, deep down, that this was all he saw me as. He was never going to

see me as anything more than that. I doubt that he would.

am guessing that the feeling is not mutual, is it?” I asked, and he shook his head at me, looking

“Look, Yasmin, I know that you always wanted to spend time with me and that you were always looking for an opportunity to do so. But this is not going to happen. I see you as a little sister, and that is all I am going to see you as.” He said, making my chest ache. “You are going to find your mate, the love of your life, and a partner that would make you the happiest woman alive. I am not that man,”

“You are.”

“I am not. And let’s not forget to mention the fact that your father would have my head if he finds out about it.” He said, and I shook my head. I knew that he wouldn’t. I was going to fight for him, I wasn’t going to allow it.

“Dad would love and respect my love for you, Leonardo. All I need is an okay from you. The two of us have always been close, what happened now?” I asked, tearing up.

“You were a child, and all I saw in you was that child. It is all I will ever see in you, Yasmin.” He said, running his hand over my arm. I looked at it for a moment before taking a step back, refusing to want to believe a word that he was telling me. The man was only playing, he wasn’t being honest. He wasn’t going to let me go like that, I knew that he wasn’t.

“You always said when I grew older, I would understand what love was. You always knew that I had feelings…”

“You were a child, and in my eyes, you still are. I wasn’t going to break your heart by telling you that your feelings would dieThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

down and that they weren’t mutual. But you are eighteen now, and you’re turning nineteen, if you live in this fantasy, sweetheart, you are never going to find your significant other, and even if you do…”

“I don’t want to be with another man!” I said, stopping him. “I want you, and it is all I ever wanted.”

I am not a toy nor am I a piece of candy that you couldn’t have. I am not going to be with you, and I can trust that you understand that I have my reasons.” He said, watching as I shook my head.

“You are lying to push me away.” I said, taking a step back. He didn’t say a word as he watched me take a step back. I needed to leave before he said something that he didn’t mean. I refused to believe that any of what he said was true.

“Yasmin…”

I cried as I walked away, allowing my tears to fall freely. It was painful to hear him say such words that he didn’t mean. If hew was afraid of my father, I was going to be more than willing to listen to him. I was going to defend him, but I didn’t want him to be scared. I didn’t want him to think that father was going to hurt him. I didn’t want him to hurt him. I wasn’t going to allow it.

“Yasmin, does Beta Matias know that you are going out?” Our delta, Antonio asked, and I scoffed.

“I am not a child to be asking permission before I go out.” I said, not bothering to wait for his response. I walked out of the pack and walked around, my heart aching with each step that I took. I needed to take a breath, I knew that, I knew that I was going to manage things. I just needed to think of a right way to do it.”

“You really were pathetic to believe that he was ever going to love you,” Katherine’s voice caught me off guard as she spoke. “Mind you, I would say that you are crying because your father confiscated

your phone, but this looks like a bigger, deeper, and more spoiled kind of problem. It spells Leonardo all over it.”

“You…”

“Ah, yes, it is me.” She said, walking toward me. “And I think that the two of us are going to need to have a little conversation. However, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to have it here.”

She nodded, and I frowned, wanting to take a step back before a napkin was placed on my face. My vision blurred, and though I wanted to fight, I couldn’t.

“Such a shame that we were going to have to use you against your father. But then again, you always wanted to give Matias a little fuss. I think that I found the right way to do so.” I heard her say. Her eyes were fixed on mine and the last thing that I heard made my wolf break as I knew the problem that I was to be causing. “Send her ring as a message to her father. It is time for Enzo and those who support him to understand that this war is far beyond return…‘
