Chapter 1
Chapter 1:
“Yeah, just right there. Fuck me hard.” I could feel my jaw clench as the muffled sounds of sex reached my ears from behind Jason’s closed door. Luna Anna had specifically asked me to invite him for dinner, but there he was, moaning and groaning with a faceless partner in his room.
The sounds of their passion stirred something within me—anger, perhaps? Jealousy? Or maybe it was my own secret crush on Jason that made these noises unbearable. Whatever the reason, I couldn’t seem to tear myself away.
“Fuck! That was so hot.” The feminine voice jerked me away from my thoughts as I swallowed hard.
One minute, I was standing close to the door; the next, it opened, revealing Jason in his pants, his hot abs on display. And, of course, no one other than the bitch herself, Stephanie. A name I dreaded. She stood there in her bikini. Such a slut!
“Look who we have here, the wolfless Jasmine,” she sneered, her voice making me angrier. She was always like that, reminding me every moment that I was wolfless.
“What are you doing here?” I looked up at the one person who mattered at that moment—Jason.
“I came to call you for dinner…” My stupid damn voice had to betray me in a moment like this.
He didn’t say a word, just nodded his head like he was tired of seeing me around. He hated me, I knew it. Maybe it was because I won his parents’ affection, or maybe it was because I was a disgrace for not having a wolf. I couldn’t tell, but I knew he couldn’t stand seeing me, even for a few minutes.
I nodded my head, my chest aching so badly. It wasn’t physical pain, but the fact that he didn’t feel the same way I did. While my eyes stared at him softly with all the tenderness I had, his stared at me—hard and hateful—with an “I don’t care” attitude. That was typical Jason.
“Wait! Losers like you aren’t meant to see a face like his, much less knock on his door. Next time you’re given such an offer, pass on it.” Stephanie, with her bossy attitude, spoke.
I rolled my eyes and intended to walk away when the bitch stepped out of the room and grabbed my hair.
“Leave her alone, Stephanie!” Jason said strictly. And just as if she were being remotely controlled by him, she released my hair.

I shot her a deadly glare and then walked away.
Well, this was my typical life—a young, wolfless teenage girl who was adopted by the Thane family and perhaps a disgrace to Jason because I had no wolf. He’d rather tell the world that I was adopted than let them know that I was his sister. He wouldn’t even acknowledge the “Adopted” label. How I had a crush on someone like him was very stupid of me.
The pack respected me because I was adopted by the Royal family, so no one dared to remind me of how wolfless I was. Otherwise, Luna Anna would have their tongue rolling on the floor.
Dinner with the Thanes was quiet as usual. Dad sat opposite Mom, and I was left to sit facing Jason.
Dinner was always quick, but today, for some reason, I couldn’t figure out why it felt so long. Maybe it was because I kept staring at Jason, or perhaps it was the fact that I hadn’t taken a bite of my food.
“You might as well place me on your plate and make me your dinner instead,” Jason snarled, his eyes fixed on his food.
I blinked rapidly and then diverted my gaze back to my plate.
“Today is the full moon, Jasmine. I’m eager to see who you’ll be mated to,” Luna Anna, my mom, spoke, her face beaming with a smile as she did. I smiled back. Of course, this was the day I’d been looking forward to, and maybe I’d finally have a wolf and a mate.
It was only a matter of hours, and my long-awaited dream would finally come true.
