Chapter 8

"Where are my Sons?" She shrieked as she lurched forward, grabbing Cara.

"Your Highness, please calm down. The boys are fine.."

"Your Highness," Little Matt stated with his babyish voice as he got out of Madame Eve's grip.

"What.." she furrowed her brows.

"I summoned Cara to warn her against coming here as what goes on in here doesn't concern her and now you're here, Your Highness," Madame Eve said, looking sternly at the Queen.

She was tired of Cara's constant interruptions and had decided to warn her against coming here. She was aware of how dearly the queen loved her children, but the tradition was tradition. If she didn't like the tradition then why did she choose to be Queen?

"I can't see my children! And now I can't even let my assistant come see the children on my behalf?" She flung her arms as she yelled, not caring about the children in the room. She was tired. She was a mother, yet didn't feel like one.

Her husband was literally nonexistent and she couldn't even be a mother. She didn't feel like a mother or a wife. She was just, a Queen. She didn't even want to be a Queen in the first place and that annoyed her.

"Let's go, Cara," She said to her bewildered assistant who had hurried over as soon as she got the message from Madame Eve. She had thought that the old lady had noticed her coming to watch the children and due to the urgency, her first thought was that one of the children was unwell, she had found it weird that she was summoned instead of the queen, but then it was understandable as Even if the queen was told, she wouldn't be able to see the children. It was pitiful in truth.

Jasmine walked out of the children's chamber, fuming with anger as she made a resolve to change everything and make everything go her way.

"Should I get you a warm cup of coffee, your highness?" Cara questioned, confused as to what to do as the queen was in a terrible mood.

Jasmine shook her head. "I'm fine, Cara. But there is, however, something you can do for me."

"Come closer," she said and even though it was unnatural for a maid to be close to a Queen, she knew that Jasmine had been really kind and made some exceptions to her.

She leaned in closer to her and Jasmine whispered something to her. She nodded with understanding.

"I'll do that, Your Highness," She said and bowed before leaving.

King Matt had just finished a meeting with the council members and was heading to his chambers when he noticed some guards moving things to his room. He furrowed his brows and blinked rapidly to be sure that he wasn't seeing wrong.

"What is going on here?" he thundered with his deep voice.

The guards, upon hearing his voice stopped and bowed a little as the bed they were carrying was huge and heavy.

"Her Highness, the Queen ordered that her things be moved to your room and the bed be changed."

He clenched his fist tightly to his side as his jaw clenched. The guards upon seeing his expression and not knowing what to do as he didn't say anything, bowed a second time and continued with their moving.

He wondered if the woman had gone crazy overnight. His beta had whispered something that infuriated him during the meeting, that the Queen had gone to the children's chambers. An unforgivable sin.

He had no idea when everything began to change, but there was a time when just seeing Jasmine's face brought him joy, now her face brought nothing but irritation and disgust to him.

The love that was supposed to be between them due to their shared bond had seemed to disappear. But at least, she was a good queen and caused no trouble, that is until now.

He knew that he had to do something about her.

He walked briskly to her chambers. He couldn't remember the last time he was there.

"Where is Jas…The Queen?" He barked, ignoring the maid's greeting.

"Her Highness is…." The maid was still speaking when he barged open the door, following her hand to know that she was in there.

Jasmine was smiling inwardly to herself, realizing that she had finally gotten his attention. After all, he was bound to anyway. It was also customary for the Queen and King to sleep in separate rooms, but they could visit each other's rooms and do whatever was needed. She had decided to take a bold step and move to his room.

Perhaps, she had thought to herself that Madame Eve might forgive her for going into the children's chambers and might not say anything to the queen. Now, she would make the King come to her.

"Jasmine!" He yelled as soon as he got into the room, getting even angrier as he saw how calm and composed she was.

"Your Highness, what's got you all worked up for you to finally visit my chambers."

He glared at her with disdain. "What! You! Really? So this is what all of these is about!"

"You tell me, Matt. When last did you come here? When last did we see each other besides at the dining table?"

"Matt? I am your king, woman!" With each passing minute, his anger intensified.

"And I am your wife! Before we became king and queen, we were husband and wife!" Her wolf whimpered at that thought. It had been long since she felt the warmth of her mate.

"Do you know what Leila said to me today?" Jasmine was even angrier upon remembering what Leila had said that morning.

"I don't…"

"Look here, Matt. I don't care what you think or what, but I'm spending the night in your room and you are going to make love to me, today!"

i mean a real and hot night for us.

He scoffed. "I'll love to see you try, Jasmine."
