Chapter 118

Yasmin:

“Hey,” I said, smiling at Leonardo who was walking out of the tunnel with three

of the pack members.

“Hi, Yasmin.” He said, putting a hand on my shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Do

you need anything here?”

“I was coming to see you, actually. They toldthat you were taking care of the

tunnels, and I figured to cand see you. You know, it has been a long while

since the two of us have managed to talk and you know, have fun together…”

“I am busy, Yasmin. Plus, I think that you are going to need to go inside. Matias

would be looking for you and with everything going on, I doubt that he would

appreciate you being out for a long time.” He said, and I frowned.

“You know that I am not a child. He is well aware that I can fight if I need to, and

I doubt that I am going to need to ask him to roam around the pack, am I?” I

asked, and he shook his head at me, growing somewhat annoyed.

“Yasmin, go inside and find something else for you to do. I am busy, and there is

a lot more forto handle then a little argument, wouldn’t you agree?” He

asked, making my heart ache. “please, letfinish what I have in hand. I am

sure that you are going to find yourself someone else to entertain you.”

“I am not looking for someone to entertain me, Leonardo. I was looking for you

and wanted to spend twith you. But I

atas if I were a three year old. The idea of the man looking atas if I were

schild wasn’t something that I liked, but I knew, deep down, that this was

all he sawas. He was never going to seeas anything more than that. I

doubt that he would.

am guessing that the feeling is not mutual, is it?” I asked, and he shook his head

at me, looking

“Look, Yasmin, I know that you always wanted to spend twithand that

you were always looking for an opportunity to do so. But this is not going to

happen. I see you as a little sister, and that is all I am going to see you as.” He

said, making my ch*st ache. “You are going to find your mate, the love of your

life, and a partner that would make you the happiest woman alive. I am not that

man,”

“You are.”

“I am not. And let’s not forget to mention the fact that your father would have

my head if he finds out about it.” He said, and I shook my head. I knew that he

wouldn’t. I was going to fight for him, I wasn’t going to allow it.

“Dad would love and respect my love for you, Leonardo. All I need is an okay

from you. The two of us have always been close, what happened now?” I asked,

tearing up.

“You were a child, and all I saw in you was that child. It is all I will ever see in

you, Yasmin.” He said, running his hand over my arm. I looked at it for a moment

before taking a step back, refusing to want to believe a word that he was telling

me. The man was only playing, he wasn’t being honest. He wasn’t going to let

“You always said when I grew older, I would understand what love was. You

always knew that I had feelings…”

“You were a child, and in my eyes, you still are. I wasn’t going to break your

heart by telling you that your feelings would die

down and that they weren’t mutual. But you are eighteen now, and you’re

turning nineteen, if you live in this fantasy, sweetheart, you are never going to

find your significant other, and even if you do…”

“I don’t want to be with another man!” I said, stopping him. “I want you, and it is

all I ever wanted.”

I am not a toy nor am I a piece of candy that you couldn’t have. I am not going

to be with you, and I can trust that you understand that I have my reasons.” He

said, watching as I shook my head.

“You are lying to pushaway.” I said, taking a step back. He didn’t say a word

as he watchedtake a step back. I needed to leave before he said something

that he didn’t mean. I refused to believe that any of what he said was true.

Chapter 118

“Yasmin…”

I cried as I walked away, allowing my tears to fall freely. It was painful to hear

him say such words that he didn’t mean. If hew was afraid of my father, I was

going to be more than willing to listen to him. I was going to defend him, but I

didn’t want him to be scared. I didn’t want him to think that father was going to

hurt him. I didn’t want him to hurt him. I wasn’t going to allow it.

“Yasmin, does Beta Matias know that you are going out?” Our delta, Antonio

asked, and I scoffed.

“I am not a child to be asking permission before I go out.” I said, not bothering

to wait for his response. I walked out of the pack and walked around, my heart

aching with each step that I took. I needed to take a breath, I knew that, I knew

that I was going to manage things. I just needed to think of a right way to do it.”

“You really were pathetic to believe that he was ever going to love you,”

Katherine’s voice caughtoff guard as she spoke. “Mind you, I would say that

you are crying because your father confiscated your phone, but this looks like a

bigger, deeper, and more spoiled kind of problem. It spells Leonardo all over

it.”

“You…”

“Ah, yes, it is me.” She said, walking toward me. “And I think that the two of us

are going to need to have a little conversation. However, I wouldn’t be foolish

enough to have it here.”

She nodded, and I frowned, wanting to take a step back before a napkin was

placed on my face. My vision blurred, and though I wanted to fight, I couldn’t.

“Such a shthat we were going to have to use you against your father. But

then again, you always wanted to give Matias a little fuss. I think that I found the

right way to do so.” I heard her say. Her eyes were fixed on mine and the last

thing that I heard made my wolf break as I knew the problem that I was to be

causing. “Send her ring as a message to her father. It is tfor Enzo and those

who support him to understand that this war is far beyond return…‘
