“You are NOT allowed to couple!”, Evanora shouted after them. “Did you hear me!?”
Priestesses giggled as Yasmin completely ignored her. Oh, they were going to do the naughty, definitely.
“If you bite her, I will break you!”, Evanora exclaimed and cursed under her breath when the door closed behind Axel.
Talia was glad that Evanora didn’t do anything extreme to prevent Axel to be with his mate, even though the High Priestess was visibly upset.
“He will not mistreat her.”, Talia said to Axel’s defense. “Axel is a good man. He kept himself pure for his mate.”
Evanora cringed at this last part. Did Talia need to mention purity?
“It will be alright. Soulmates are made for each other. He is exactly what Yasmin needs, and she is what he was looking for.”, Cornelia said while putting her arms around Evanora who was still glaring at the closed door, but her expression softened after Cornelia’s words.
Seeing that Evanora calmed down a bit, Cornelia turned to the other priestesses in the room. “Yasmin was blessed to find her other half and we should celebrate. This is the first time in more than a century that our sister found a soulmate!”
Priestesses exploded in cheers and high-pitched noises.
Talia blinked. Did Cornelia say, more than a century? She took a mental note to stop guessing people’s age based on appearances.
One priestess sneaked close to Talia to ask, “Are there more males from where you came from?”
Talia nodded. “Yes. I will bring more next time if Evanora allows it. Or you can go back with me and try your luck in finding a mate.”
“Stop tempting them!”, Evanora hissed, and turned to priestesses who were looking at Talia with sparkles in their eyes, “We have work to do. Cornelia, divide work between potions and spells.”
“What about the celebration?”, a voice was heard from the back.
Evanora looked at eager faces directed her way, and she gave in. “We will have a fest tomorrow at sunset.”
Talia smiled a little as this was a sign that Evanora might give Axel some hard time, but she won’t stand between Axel and his mate.
It was a reason to celebrate.
Talia remembered Alpha Isaac and Alpha Sophia. Would they be upset that they will miss this occasion? Probably. But then… that duo did so much wrong, maybe this will be their punishment or at least part of it.
She saw that priestesses were leaving the study, and Cassandra was sticking close to Cornelia while ignoring Talia’s presence.
Talia turned to ask Evanora, “Can I help somehow?”
“Not at this point.”, Evanora said. “I’m sure you are tired. Someone will escort you to a room and we will send you food. Take a few hours to rest.”
“Thank you.”, Talia responded. She was not tired nor hungry. She really wanted to keep busy knowing that the moment she finds solitude, Dayson will come to her mind, but she didn’t want to be in the way either.
Axel had no idea how he found himself in the room that was filled with a sensually sweet feminine scent with nutmeg undertones. Jasmine.
He remembered that he was trying to hide his presence in the corner. The study was full of nearly naked females that were shuffling and sometimes coming dangerously close to him with their scents mixing and muddling his mind.
But then he heard a melodious voice a second before the exotic scent of Jasmine reached him, gentle yet overpowering everything else.
The world faded, leaving only him and the blue-eyed beauty in front of him, and then he heard a voice in his head, “Mate”.
Axel couldn’t believe that was happening. He was familiar with every unmated female in the Midnight Guardians pack, and he traveled far and wide with the hope to meet his mate, and he never imagined that she would be in a different realm, a place he didn’t know about until one day ago.
When their hands touched, an electric current zapped through his arm, catching him by surprise, and confirming that this was real. He found his mate, and she was stunning.
Blonde hair ending at her shoulders framed her exquisite face and even though she was nearly naked, he ended up staring into her light blue eyes that were curious and emotional, and there was an animalistic element he couldn’t put his finger on. Perfect.
Did she say her name was Yasmin?
Such an appropriate name for a girl that smells of Jasmine and looks like a delicate white flower. His flower.
She grabbed his hand and he followed obediently, not caring where she was leading him because even if she was going to a raging volcano, he would accompany her willingly.
And here they were. Not in a volcano, but in a room. Just the two of them.
Yasmin was standing half a step from him and observing his expression with sparkles in her eyes and… that was it.
Was he supposed to do something now? Axel was not sure.
He decided to look around.
There was a sitting area in the corner with two chairs on each side of a low table, a desk with another chair, and then there was a bed. He swallowed hard.
Axel knew how this should go. They should get to know each other over dinner and a movie before they progress to kissing and other stuff, but there was no restaurant and definitely no movie theatre and the fact that she was technically naked was not helping him think.

You can see Yasmin’s pic in the comments.
Unsure about what to do next, Axel thought it would be good to talk a bit, to break the ice.
“Yasmin…”, he called, and her smile widened. “Tell me something about yourself.”
Yasmin blinked. “Do you really want to talk?”
Axel cleared his throat. “Is there something else you want to do?”
“Ugh!”, a strained groan formed in his throat when she cupped his family jewels without any warning and her cheeks warmed when she felt him hard under her touch.
“We are soulmates.”, she said. “Don’t you feel the attraction?”
