Free Web NovelChapter 77: Chapter 77 Blood Magic
The Third Person’s POV
"It’s not. Not really. I am not using it without your consent, and I only use a couple of drops. It’s making sure we end the right place, and to help me in the process. You contain your own magic, and it will merge with mine as the spell unfolds, and then be gone when the spells is over." Adriana says, a little more sure of herself.
She looks at Jeremy with sad eyes. He will definitely reject her and seek someone stronger and more confident after this. But she knew it had to be done, if she and Jasmin would ever get closure. Jeremy, utterly confused by the sad eyes of his beautiful mate, reached an arm around her and hugged her from the side. He was going to support her through this! He would let nothing happen to her, and he would stand by her side.
He knew her past must be bad for these strangers to be acting like this. He trusted Willow and Jax in their judgment, and by default he trusted Jax’s siblings, but whatever they were accusing his mate of, she didn’t do. Or did with no witness. Either way. She was innocent in his eyes.
"How many can travel by this spell, baby?" Jeremy purrs in her ear. She smiles, a beautiful shy smile.
"The room." She whispers in answer. The entire room, however, heard her. Everyone is looking around, unsure what this means and if they should even intrude. Jeremy mind-link his Alpha and Luna. They agree with him. It will be important for every single person in here to know the truth about the past of Jasmin and Adriana. He asks them if they should get Abby and Matt here as well, but Ellie shakes her head at him.
’They need time to heal and talk. We will do this without them and explain and fill them in later. Matthew was really out of it, and Abby needs rest.’
’I agree with my Luna.’ Jason states. Jeremy nod in their direction.
As Adriana gets up to collect the blood of the three siblings, Jeremy turns his attention against his seething friend.
’Jonathan, relax! She will come around.’ He mind-links his tense beta. Jonathan has not taken his eyes off his mate since he saw her in the Queen and King’s room. He knows he screwed up in there, and he wants to make amends. But he doesn’t seem to get the chance. She keeps ignoring him, and her irritating brothers keep getting in his way to be beside her.
’Easy for you to say! You have your mate right beside you. Mine is ignoring me and is possibly going to reject me. Again.’ He answers in a sad and angry voice. Jeremy knows this is a very sore topic for him. He has already been rejected once, and his beast will not let that happen again.
’She will come around, but you were kind of an arse to her in the other room. And you defended another female right in front of her. A female she, at the time, tried to kill, might I add?’ Jeremy retort coolly.
’Poseidon keeps trying to take control. He wants me to apologize in front of everyone. He wants me to beg for her forgiveness and a chance to show her we are hers and will never seek another over her. AND I DEFENDED YOUR MATE!’ He yells the last part. Throwing it into his best friend’s face.
Jason has been following the exchange of his beta and gamma with interest, but when Jonathan’s eyes suddenly change color completely, he stands up.
"Poseidon!" He says in a stern voice. The beta turn his head towards his Alpha. His eyes shining with the color of his beast.
"Yes, Alpha." Jonathan answers in a low, gruff voice.
"You can’t take control like that. Let Jonathan back. NOW!" Jason demands, but the wolf clearly has no intention of following the orders of his Alpha.
"NO! I. I need to say something. Please Alpha. I need to..." the wolf says through Jonathan. He looks at Jason with pleading eyes. Then he shifts to look directly at Jasmin.
"Mate." He breathes, trying to sound gentle and failing miserably.
Jasmin looks at him. Taken aback by this turn of events. Does her mate not have control over his animal? That’s just.. Wow. Her head is spinning. The look in his eyes, however, contains nothing but tenderness, sadness and love. So much so, Jasmin feels herself to be drawn in.
Ellie puts a hand on Jason and shakes her head at him.
’Let him speak, love,’ she says in his mind. Jason smiles at her and sits down. This is going to be interesting. Poseidon has never taken control like this before, so it must be really important for him to do it now.
Adriana returns to her place beside Jeremy, and looks on with interest. If anyone deserves a loving mate, it’s the persons in front of her. She has always liked the siblings, but Narine always told her how rude, inconsiderate and cruel they were to her. How they were always talking shit behind her back, and how she couldn’t trust anyone but her.
Jasmin shoves Jasper in the ribs, trying to get him to move, but he won’t. Then she turns her sight to Jax, who sighs. He grabs Jasper by his collar and hauls him up from the couch. fгeewebnovёl.com
"What the fuck, bro?" Jasper yells.
"She’s a big girl. Let her handle it." He says simply. Jasper shakes his head.
"He doesn’t deserve her!" He sneers. Jasmin sends him a warning look, and Jasper shakes his head.
"Well, it’s the truth! He defended someone else, Jasmin. He..." Jasmin stands, hands on her hips.
"Don’t make me smack you, brother. Because I will send you back to the underworld with that smack and you’ll not go on the memory journey with us." She threatens. Jasper chuckles. He set his sight on the wolf/man on the couch, looking on in slight amusement.
"If you ever hurt her again, I will kill you! Slowly... Over centuries. Until you beg for death, and I will deny it at first, torturing you some more before taking you out of the misery." Poseidon nods, a solemn glint in his eyes but otherwise unperturbed by the deadly threat made by his mate’s brother.
Jasmin turn to sit again, but before she can, Poseidon get on his knees before her.
"My human is a stupid, stubborn arse. But he is my counterpart in every way! He did not mean any offense by defending Adriana. He was defending his gamma female, his best friend’s mate. It does not make it right, but it’s the truth. We are both so, so sorry we hurt you. You are our mate, and we want nothing but to make you happy! Make you smile. You are gorgeous, smart, and sassy. We already know this. Please give us a chance, Jasmine. My sweetheart, my heart." Poseidon pleads with her. Begging for the forgiveness that his human is too afraid and proud to beg for.
"Oh, and no. I rarely take control away from Jonathan, but he is afraid of the ramifications of his actions, seeing as you are our second chance, mate. Our first mate seduced, used and rejected us." Poseidon’s voice crack at the end.
Jasmin falls to her knees, coming into eyesight with her mate. Tears in her eyes. They knew what it felt like to be rejected. They were begging for her forgiveness. She searched his eyes and found nothing but sadness and fright. Fright she would not forgive them.
"Please bring Jonathan back." She says to the wolf. The panic in his eyes is clear, but he does as she asks. The room is eerie silent, and Jasmin has almost forgotten they are there at all. His eyes stop glowing and change color back to Jonathan’s normal hazel color.
He looks down. Not daring to look into the ice-blue eyes of the woman who holds his heart. He didn’t want to admit it to himself, but hearing Poseidon saying it out loud. He knew it to be true.
"Jonathan, look at me." A gentle voice demands. When he lifts his eyes, they meet with hers.
"Do you forgive yourself?" She asks.
