Chapter 111
How could he be happy? He hadpletely no right. The fact he had lived a couple of years Baskin in
ignorance only fueled his guilt even more. As a child it was all he could think of. It haunted him. One of
the days he asked his father it would make him feel better if he died. “You’re your mother’s only child
left alive since you killed the other one. You need to stay alive. Being miserable should do.” The man
had said gruffly.
He locked everyone out. While his father’s words moulded and broke him a thousand times over. And
after that he never let in afterwards. He deserved to en alone. He begun to build bridges and
barricades sealing himself shut.
Seeing him that way, sober and quiet seems to appease his Father. The abuse reduced drastically. The
house, a mansion was big enough for the two of them to live without having to see each other if the
other so pleased.
The days after that, Axel and his father existed as mere strangers sharing space, an ufortable
silence echoing between them.
The situation worsened when Axel reached the age to shift but discovered an unsettling reality, he
you’re useless, you don’t even have a wolf. Pathetic,” his father’s cruel remarks reverberated through
therge house.
That night, his father’s assistant, witnessing the heart-wrenching scene, questioned.
“Where do you want to send him?” he asked, casting apassionate nce at the teenage Axel, who
stood huddled in a corner.
“I don’t care. He’s practically human anyway, Send him somewhere cold, where it snows all year long,”
his father’s response was cold and uncaring.
“Get him out of this house by tomorrow,” sealing Axel’s fate.
And that was it, the next thing he was pulled out of his home country, sent far away from everyone and
everything he ever knew. He couldn’t cry or so b or feel bad for himself, he deserved it.
Until that doe eyed woman had shown up, making him feel things he should not.
The sickening screech of metal and the abrupt m of brakes jolted Axel out of his trip down memory
skull. He had collided with another car, lost in his thoughts, he felt the force of the impact, like his head;
had been split in two. Fortunately, the other driver had reacted swiftly, reducing the seriousness of the
crash
Axel sighed, removing his sses as a burgeoning headache pulsed through him.
He stepped out of the car slowly, feeling the burn at the back of his head intensify. He promptly
apologized, acknowledging the faulty with him. Making a call, he arranged for his team to handle the
aftermath. Weary, he sta gg ered back into his car, setting it to drive autonomously. As the vehicle
glided homeward, Axel’s mind drifted aimlessly.
The car smoothly slid into the driveway, a notification snapping him back to the present. Exiting the car
he sta ggered. Feeling a pain at the back of his head he massaged it.
His phone vibrated, and Axel’s released a groan.
The voice on the other end ryed the unsettling news.
“Sir, about the youngdy you asked me to pick up and drive home. She refused the ride and headed
home herself.”
He still felt responsible for her, knowing she was in danger he’d made arrangements. Someone was to
take her to work and back everyday in his ce.
“What?!” He yelled.
Axel’s eyes widened in sudden panic. A surge of worry flooded him – Jasmine was out alone? Walking
through the dark streets by herself a deep sense of concern gripped him. Ignoring any semnce of
exhaustion, he darted towards the elevator that would take him to the floor they both

shared while simultaneously dialing her number.
The call was unanswered The feeling of anxiety increased, she was always with her phone, she always
readily picked up before the first couple of rings.
The constant rejection of his calls fueled his anxiety, each beep amplifying the tightening in his chest.
His feet tapped impatiently standing in the elevator. He wanted to check, she had to be home.
He sprinted out of the elevator the moment he reached the floor, while still dialing the number. It still
went unanswered.
He got to the front of the door and Impatiently pressed the doorbell, hoping against hope that she was
safely home, that her head would pop out from the other side and ask him why he was at her door step.
But he received no response. Frustration mounted as he pounded on her door, calling out Jasmine’s
name with increasing urgency. Stepping back, realization struck, she really wasn’t home. She should
have been home by now, something had definitely happened.
A sense of foreboding settled over him. Nathan’s ominous words reyed in his mind, the haunting
echoes of Jasmine’s fear, how she had been terrified and told him she was being watched. Axel’s heart
raced as he continued to dial her number, only to find it switched off. Panic intensified; he couldn’t

reach her.
Regret surged as he rushed back to the elevator, he shouldn’t have let her out of his sight. He should
have brought her home safely himself.
Outside the building, Axel scanned the surroundings for any sign of her silhouette, hoping to find her
walking towards the building. But he saw nothing, she wasn’ting.
Fear tightened its grip as he reckoned with the possibility of Jasmine being in danger. Breaking into a
sprint, he went through the streets she would have taken, urgently calling out her name.
The dimming street lights cast elongated shadows as Axel ventured further into the darkness.
“Jasmine!” He called one more time anxiously. Suddenly, a muf fled s ob reached his ears, momentarily
freezing him in his tracks.
“Jasmine!” Axel’s voice echoed with anxiety and fear as he sprinted towards the source of the sound,
desperately hoping to find her unharmed.
