Chapter 99

Jasmine turned seventeen today, which meant, she had come to age, where she would finally meet with her mate. She was very excited about it.

Ever since she was little, she always thought about this day, especially when she saw the relationship between her father and mother.

Despite knowing that she was not really the king’s child, king Alex loved her the same. Her father would treat her the same way he treated Aiden, her younger brother.

“You look gorgeous, sis!” Aiden squealed as he approached Jasmine and hugged her.

He was ten years old now, but he wouldn’t turn down a hug or two. Though whenever he was having an attitude, he would look like their father, most of the time, he had the personality of their mother. He was soft spoken young boy, but he could be very mischievous if he wanted to.

“What are you doing here, Aiden?” Jasmine raised her brows. “Don’t tell me you s**ed your class again.”

Aiden grinned when he heard that and then pouted his lips. “Why I still have a class when today is the celebration of your birthday? Today is a party day. I don’t need to be in class.”

Jasmine shook her head. He always had an answer for everything. “If you wanted to be a good king, you should learn more.”

The young boy sighed deeply, which made him look like an old man. “You are the firstborn, why should I be the king?” He complained, he had been complaining the same thing for the past year when he realized the responsibility and the task he had to do when he was sitting on the throne.

It had been made very clear from day one that Jasmine wouldn’t take any responsibility for the crown, since she was not the royal blood. Her mother agreed with that and Jasmine was actually very relief too. She didn’t like the battle in court and had to deal with those vicious people.

Therefore, when the queen fell pregnant five years ago, every soul in this kingdom were very excited, especially when they learned that it was a baby boy. Their expectation was too high, it was scary.

Because of that too, Jasmine felt bad for her brother, the pressure must be insane for him, even though he was still little.

“Go back to your class, okay?” If people knew that Aiden s**ed his class, again, they would talk about it and there would be another fight in court, their demand would become crazier.

Their father handled most of it, but he couldn’t shield Aiden forever. Jasmine knew that much about the dynamic within the palace.

“No.” Aiden crossed his arms in front of his chest.

“The party is still in the evening, there are still four hours left before it.”

“No. I will not go back there.”

Jasmine bent her body and kissed his cheek. “I will save you one more piece of my cake, okay?”

Hearing that, Aiden contemplated for a while and raised two fingers. “I want two.”

“Deal. Jasmine giggled. Her brother was adorable. She then watched how Aiden dragged himself back to the study room. He was not happy, but what else he could do

After that, Jasmine went about her day to prepare her party tonight. Her mother helped and her father came this early morning to wish her a happy birthday.

There would be a lot of people, who would come from all the kingdoms in this continent, also… her real father. He arrived in this continent a week ago and his birthday presents had been sitting on her boudoir.

Her relationship with him was good. He promised his pack to her, since she was his only child, after her mother, he had never been with anyone else, but Jasmine declined.

The relationship between Killian and Althea was amicable to say the least, since her king father wouldn’t let the two of them alone and her mother didn’t have any interest to even have a small conversation with him.

They only got along well only for Jasmine’s sake, even so, the time when they were in the same space was very rare, for example was her birthday.

“You look so beautiful, princess,” Renee said after she was done with her hair. “I hope you got what you wished for.” Jasmine blushed. Renee knew what she wished for. To replace her mate. She was very romantic at heart.

“Are you done here, lovely?” Althea entered her daughter’s bedroom and Renee bowed her head in respect for the queen. “You can leave, Renee, I will take over from here.”

“Yes, my queen.”

Renee left the two of them alone.

“You looked so beautiful, my love,” Althea said, they looked at each other through the reflection on the mirror.

“Thank you, mother.” Althea kissed her hand on her shoulder.

“I can’t believe that you have turned seventeen,” Althea said, she kissed her hair and there was tear in her eyes.

“Oh, don’t cry,” Jasmine said, she stood up and hugged her mother.

“I know that you wished to meet with your mate in your party, but I hope I will have more time with you.” Time flew so fast and in a blink of an eye, Jasmine was a young grown up woman, she was so beautiful, but Althea still wanted her for herself.

“Oh, mother, I will not go anywhere. I will still be here with you.

They hugged it and cried a little bit, but then Althea reminded her not to ruin her make up and both of them went out of the room.

Jasmine was excited, somehow, she couldn’t explain it, but she could feel it in her heart that she would replace her soulmate tonight, but little did she know, it was not in the way that she imagined it would be.

And one more thing; tonight, it would change the trajectory of her life completely. Her life wouldn’t be the same anymore after tonight party.
