Shunned By An Alpha, Cherised By A Lycan

Chapter 3:

“Just stop with the flattery already,” I chuckled, pulling away from her hug before she squeezed the life out of me.

“Girl, I mean it. You’re looking so hot, with that killer shape of yours. You’ll surely have the men of the Blue Moon pack rolling at your feet.” I couldn’t believe Ruby hadn’t changed a bit—still the chitty-chatty type.noveldrama

Ruby helped me carry my luggage into the car she’d brought and started driving toward the pack house, not missing a detail about everything that had been going on in the pack.

As we arrived at the pack house, Mom was standing outside, her eyes eagerly scanning down the road.

She yelled happily as she saw me, “Jasmine!” That was enough to tell everyone in the pack house that I was back.

She pulled me into her arms, and I hugged her back. I missed her. Three years without a home. I really did miss everything.

“Look at you, looking so grown up! Alpha!” she yelled, calling for my father. I mean, mothers can be very dramatic.

I laughed, my heart happy and relaxed. The welcome was warm so far, and I couldn’t be more excited that I was back.

Ruby and I entered the house. After a three-hour drive, I needed to rest. I plopped down on the couch, the softness reminding me of home.

Dad entered the sitting room, his expression not far from Mom’s earlier.

“Look at our baby girl, all grown up!” Dad’s face brightened. He didn’t look much different from the last time I had seen him.

I stood to my feet and hugged Dad. I really had missed him. So much.

With Mom and Dad, everyone was complete—except for him, the guy I had fled the pack for. The man who shattered my heart. Jason, my foster brother.

I hugged Dad tightly, feeling the warmth of his embrace. Pulling back, I glanced around, half-expecting to see Jason’s familiar face despite everything. The memories of our past and the pain of his rejection tugged at my heart, but I pushed them away. I was here to move forward, not dwell on old wounds.

After settling in my room, everything was just as I had left it. Ruby hadn’t given me a moment to breathe; she wanted to fill me in on everything, including whether I had a boyfriend.

Well, what would you expect from me, a heartbroken girl? I had sealed my heart and said no to men.

“It’s almost time for the party,” Ruby said as she dropped the nail polish brush back into the bottle. “We should start getting ready.”

Of course, I couldn’t forget the party. Mom had mentioned it in the letter. Jason’s engagement party was tonight—with Stephanie. That bitch. Not that I cared, but…

The past is just the past, anyway.

Ruby took her time dressing me up; it would have been typical for me to just throw on whatever I could find, but Ruby insisted the least I could do was look nice in something from my wardrobe.

I was dressed in a silver strapless gown, revealing my curves, with my cleavage exposed. I wasn’t comfortable in such a dress, but Ruby had told me, “If you’ve got it, then why not flaunt it?”

Throughout that evening, I didn’t see Jason. Maybe he was preparing for his engagement party.

The evening was cool and calm, and Dad’s face was beaming with pride, as was Mum’s. Today was their son’s engagement party, so they were meant to be happy, of course.

Whispers about my return filled the crowd, but no one dared to say it out loud.

“Aren’t Jason and Stephanie such a cute couple? I mean, they look so perfect together,” a blonde beside us muttered.
