Chapter 5 God of hotness

Jasmine’s P.O.V.

I was working as usual, serving different customers, when I saw a living God of hotness entering the shop. He was about 7 feet (2.13m) tall, with his perfectly shaped muscular body. His black hair were silky smooth, and his hazel eyes were damn sexy.

His aura was so dominating and regal that our shop looked like a pathetic street stall in front of him.

I recovered myself from initial shock and quickly went to take his order, in hope of having an interaction with him.

I asked him about his order, but he stood there silently, staring at me with his charming gaze. His eyes were shining like stars, I found them looking straight into my soul.

Thanks to the Moon Goddess, my aunt came to my rescue and attended him. I heard his velvety voice from the distance and thought,

“What kind of woman would be so lucky to secure a place in this God’s heart?”

He left after taking his order, and I came back to reality. I jerked away his sex appeal and continued my work. At 11:55am, I took my bag and prepared to leave as Anna’s School timing was 8:15am to 12:15 pm.

Anna was blessed with a strong wolf so she couldn’t study with human kids. I enrolled her in Jenny’s (Aunt’s daughter) pack school. She was used to dropping Anna on her pack borders in the forest, where I picked her up daily.

At 12pm, I left for Anna’s school. I felt someone was following me, I noticed that God of hotness coming after me.

“It’s just my imagination!”

I shook my head, as it was impossible for a man like him to follow an unattractive, single mother. I walked at full speed and entered the forest. A sudden presence behind me startled me, and I got stunned when I noticed that dashing man turning into a wolf-like monster.

An involuntary shriek escaped my mouth and sprinted in the forest blindly. That monster behind me was chasing me like a crazy predator, relentlessly hunting his prey.

He was getting closer with every passing second, and I made up my mind for the worst death possible. Suddenly, he jumped to come in front of me, and pinned me to the ground, growling loudly. I closed my eyes and waited for his claws to end my pitiful existence.

To my surprise, he leaned in closer and sniffed my neck deeply.

“Mate!”

Hearing this word again made me panic.

“Am I going to face another rejection? The Moon goddess can’t be this cruel to me.”

Tears blurred my vision and I whimpered under his hold. After seeing my distress, he got up, and turned back to his human form. He crouched down beside me and apologized sincerely.

“I apologize for scaring you. My Lycan is thrilled to see you. So, it’s difficult for me to reign him in. But he also didn’t want to scare you.”

“You are a Lycan?”

I was startled at this revelation. As for the record, lycans were the most ruthless creatures on earth. They kill for fun and enjoy torturing others. Now, the Moon Goddess had paired me with this bloodthirsty monster, Perfect!

What a pleasant surprise for me.

“Oh yes, allow me to introduce myself. I am Alexander Maximus, Lycan King of all shifters. You are my Erasthai, my Queen.”

Bloody Hell!

I was shocked beyond words. The Moon Goddess be like, presenting you that cruel Lycan King you dreaded all your childhood, as your mate,

Wow!

In tension, I blurted out the most nonsense thing to be said.

“But I already had a mate.”

His muscles tensed, and he said with solemn tone, “Then consider him dead now. You are mine.”

“I was rejected by my mate. I am a single mother now.” I explained to him while calming my racing heart.

“He rejected you and you still kept his child. Why?” He got angry in a second.

“That’s my child too.” I gave him an instant reality check.

He got up and pulled me up too. “Let’s get rid of that bastard before leaving. I don’t want any inconvenience for my pups in the future.”

I didn’t know how it happened, but I got sudden courage and slapped him across his face.

“Keep your filthy hands off my daughter, you monster. My daughter has nothing to do with you.”

“You have to get rid of her if you want to be my Queen, Jasmine. Choose wisely.” Alexander growled in response.

“I’ve already made my choice 5 years ago. I don’t need an asshole as my mate. Go to hell.”

I congratulated myself for my stupidity and waited for his lash out.

The mates for lycans were different from mates for werewolves. They had only one mate throughout their lifespan and couldn’t have pups with anyone, except them.

So, there was no concept of rejection in lycans. Seeing him silent, I thought that he would change his mind and accept me with Anna.

But, my all hopes shattered when he turned and left without even looking at me.
