Rejecting The Future Queen

Chapter 28

Yasmyn's POV

My heart was racing as I went downstairs. Because whoever the guest was, I was always informed of who they are. Unlike this time who I have no idea about.

But my feet came to a halt when I saw who that was.

"Natalie?" I asked her and she looked at me, wondering where the noise came from.

"Jasmine!" She whispered and I smiled at her.

No wonder Selena didn't like Natalie's experience.

"Hi. How are you here" I asked Natalie as I sped up my walk to meet her halfway.

Natalie gave me a tight hug. And when I say tight, it's tight. It was like she hugged me for her dear life. Something that bothered me.

"I really wondered if that's you and it is," Natalie smiled, as she pulled away to look at me.

"Hey," I whispered and walked us back to the couch where I made her sit and asked the kitchen staff for two more coffees.

She was shaking like a leaf and she was bruised. For a werewolf to be bruised, it's serious because we have the healing capacity of a wolf. We heal almost instantly so for her to actually have bruises over her is concerning.

The coffee came right away and she took it way too fast. Like she was starving. Coming to look at it, she was thinner than the last time I saw her.

"Do you want to eat something?" I asked her and she nodded at me rather quickly.

I looked at the guard closest to me and gave him a signal to get the food ready.

"I thought Alpha Brendan was my mate, when I had the future Queen right under my nose," Natalie said with a smile and I gave a nervous chuckle.

"What brought you here, Natalie? Is everything okay?" I asked her and she shook her head.

"My boyfriend tried to kill me," she said and my eyes had gone wide.

I never knew about him or his abusive behaviour. And I don't understand how that is connected to me in any way.

But I didn't want to bombard questions at her and make it feel like she made it to an interrogation cell.

So I was patient as I watched her drink her cup of coffee and then proceeded to have mine too.

"I am sorry I was just so hungry," she said, placing the empty cup down on the table.

"It's okay. Have as much as you want," I smiled at her.

When I saw she was sitting silent like me, that's when I realised that she wouldn't say a thing where I don't ask her anything. Fine.

"Why did your boyfriend try to kill you, Natalie?" I asked her and she stared at me.

"I don't know. He always was harsh to me but I thought if I was a nice girlfriend, he would stop that. But the day before yesterday, he tried to kill me. I fought with him and grabbed his shirt before running for my life," she said and that's when I noticed that she was indeed dressed in a men's shirt and women's shorts.

Okay.

"And I came here when I found this," she said as she slid her hand in the shirt pocket and handed that over to me.

It was a small route map that brought her here. And along with that, was a picture of me. The one before I went to The Sundown Pack.

Now who is her boyfriend again?
