Song at the side Paul saying to Jasmine i tthink it goes perfect:)

Chapter Twenty~four

Paul was by my side trying to offer me some comfort. However, right now I just wanted to be left alone, so I could just curl up and die. Petrified I didn’t know what I was going to do or even how I was going to get rid of the evil one. Then as if I was hit by lighting, I got an idea. I made a run for it back to the pack house leaving a frantically screaming Paul behind. Running as fast as my legs would go I kept pushing and pushing myself faster and faster. With the pack house in view and gasping for air, Instead of stopping I just pushed my body harder as if my life depended on it. Well truthfully, my life did depend on it.

Storming through the front door, I began running around the house panting heavily while screaming out for Caleb. I knew it wasn’t what I wanted or even what I had dreamed of. but if it meant it would save our kind as well as me from the evil one then I didn’t give a damn. I could hear people shouting and running after me but I was on a mission. There was only person I needed right now and that was Caleb my so-called mate.

Just as I reached his door, I was about to storm in when Caleb came running out knocking me clear off my feet. Just as I waited for the pain to hit two strong arms wrapped around my waist pulling me back up. Opening my eyes I saw a worried but angry looking Chase staring back at me. The feelings I had for Chase were getting stronger, as the butterfly feeling in my stomach came alive making me want him so bad.  Once he noticed I was alright, he left go of me as he stormed towards Caleb. Seeing the distraught look on Caleb’s face had me screaming. “CHASE NO STOP” I screamed out in a pleading way. I didn’t want them fighting over me. I didn’t want to see any of them get hurt; I loved them both too much. “Please don’t, I pleaded again in a low whisper. The entire house became silent as I walked towards the pair of them. “Caleb we need to talk.” Just as he, nodded Paul came barging through the hallway. “Jasmine you don’t have to do this child, please think of what you’re doing.”  He said while looking at me with so much pity that it made me think. But as quick as I started to change my mind I thought of all the trouble I have caused since I've been here and what will happen if I don’t get him to mate me. “Paul I have made up my mind and there is nothing you or anybody else can do to change it.” Then I took a step closer to him and hugged him. “Paul I have to do this please understand. Everybody’s life as well as mine depends on me doing this. Cant you see we really don’t have a choice.” I said sounding as weak as I felt. “I know child but please you have to be happy too.” He replied sounding as defeated as I felt. Taking a step away from Paul I gave him a small smile “Paul it will all be worth it even if it’s not what I want it will set us all free.” I stated before walking over to Caleb. Taking hold of his hand, I entwined our fingers as I lead him back into his room.  The silence of the house felt intense as I felt all eyes on me. Then through the silence “NO JASMINE PLEASE DON’T DO THIS TO ME!” Chase cried as he copped on to what I was actually doing. I could feel Caleb’s body tense up beside me as he growled a threatening warning to Chase. Tears sprung to my eyes as I heard Chase pleading through his heart wrenching sobs. I tried to leave go of Caleb’s hand but he only tightened his grip on me. I looked up at Caleb “You need to let me go.” I said calmly but firm. His eyes lowered to the floor as he loosened his tight grip. Placing a kiss on his cheek, I walked over to a devastating looking Chase. I placed my hand on his cheek and stroked away his tears. “I love you and always will but this is not our fate. you will find your mate one day and you will love her more than you will ever love me.”  I stopped to take a calming breath as my heart was breaking. I couldn’t stop the tears as I spoke my next words. “Chase I cant be your mate, as much as I would loved too I can’t.  yes I love you and  yes I want you more than anything in this world but right now I know what I have to do. So please let me go,” I asked through my heart wrenching sobs. I felt broken to a point where I was beyond  repair. As I rejected the one, I had grown to not only love but cared for more than I ever have done for any other in my entire life.

 Not been able to cope with the hurt and emptiness I had caused in his eyes any longer I turned and took hold of Caleb’s hand. Warm pleasurable tingles shot through my entire body as Caleb wrapped one of his arms around my waist. That’s when I knew I had made the right decision. Although it was killing me inside, I knew I could never feel like this with Chase. This was our fate that the gods and karma had chosen for us.

 Now it was just the case of would Caleb accept me or was he going to reject me again. My heart sunk as I thought of him rejecting me again. I didn’t know how much more heartache I could take. Shoving my negative thoughts aside, I patted down on the bed beside me for Caleb to sit. Swallowing the big lump that had managed to lodge itself in my throat, I took a deep breath. Readying myself for the biggest but also most petrifying question of my life, I turned nervously to face Caleb. The dullness in his eyes made me feel even more nervous. Rubbing my sweaty hands down my jeans I began.” Caleb I know you rejected me but I’m not going to accept as I know you love me and I know you want me as much as I want you.” I stopped as his expression turn to one of extreme pain. I couldn’t take it I just grabbed him and hugged him so tight wanting to take away all his pain. “NO” Caleb screamed at me as he leaped off the bed and stood by the door. “I can’t be with you Jasmine I just can’t,” he said as the tears streamed down his cheeks. Slowly I made my way over to him. “Caleb you can please Caleb everything and every one of our kind is depending on us.” He screamed out just before his wolf took over. Smashing through my bedroom door, He kept running I tried to keep up but he was too fast. ”CALEB PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME PLEASE” I cried out as a pair of arms wrapped around me holding me back from running after him. “Give him time Jasmine, let him cool off.” I knew it was Paul but I was too worried and tempered. “PAUL LET ME GO NOW” I screamed. I could here screaming as well as gasps but I couldn’t see where it was coming from. then as I turned around I couldn’t believe what I had done. I had gotten myself so worked up that I called upon the elements without even realising. Paul was on the floor out cold I had thrown him across the room. His body was limp, Richard  was stood over him with concern clear in his watery eyes. “Richard I’m so sorry” I said as I ran over and knelt down at Paul’s side.

My hands began to glow as I placed my hands on Pauls chest.  “JASMINE” I heard Richard scream at me but I could feel the spirits flowing through me. Paul was dying I knew it and he needed us. I carried on ignoring Richards pleads to leave his father alone and concentrated on healing Paul. I kept chanting words I’ve never heard of before it was as if I was having an outer body experience but I wasn’t it’s hard to explain.  As confused and upset as I was I could hear my voice carrying on nevertheless.

Moments later, I felt a cool breeze circling around Paul and I as my body began to glow a magnificent white. It was so bright that I couldn’t help but awe as I looked down upon myself. Paul started to stir making Richard stop screaming and me stop panicking. I could feel the gods passing through me into Paul, as he opened his eyes the sparkle they held relaxed me.  I knew right then he was going to be ok the gods are within him. He raised his hand up and rested it on my cheek. “Thank you child.” he said as he sat up and kissed my cheek. The smile on his face was as if it was contagious as I couldn’t help but smile back.

Feeling the elements leaving my body I felt cold. I began to shake before collapsing onto the floor. I felt completely drained. I could feel someone picking me up but my eyes where too heavy for me to open. I couldn’t make out who it was but then as a cold shiver ran up and down my spine I started to fear the worst.

OMG so much is happening now what do you think??

Poor Paul bless him :(

Oh and poor Chase bless him I could feel my heart breaking for him :(
