Submission is Not My Style novel Chapter 120

I take her hand and give it a gentle squeeze. “Jasmine… don’t be too hard on yourself. You can’t choose who you fall in love with. Your heart couldn’t help falling for Fury. He’s a good man, after all And deep down, you just want to be loved–truly, passionately. You want that bond back so badly, so you can have your wolf again.”

Her eyes close for a moment, tears slipping free. “That’s right… Inybe what I feel for Fury isn’t real love. Maybe I’m just… desperate. Desperate to find someone who’ll love me so I can have my wolf back. I’m tired, Kali. I’m tired of being weak and vulnerable. I hate being this… human. It’s disgusting. I miss my strength, my power. But” she swallows hard-“I still don’t regret the decision that cost me my wolf.”

I nod, understanding perfectly. “I want you to have your wolf back too, Jasmine. But you can’t force love. Remember the clause in the black magic ritual–you have to fall in love naturally, and be loved back equally. You can choose someone, but it won’t be real if it’s forced. True love finds you when you least expect it.”

“I know,” she whispers. “And that’s why I need to leave. I can’t see Fury again. If I stay in this pack, I’ll have no choice. And I… I can’t live like a fragile doll anymore. You’ll be queen soon. Jack will be king. Fury has his mate. Everyone’s finding their path… and I have none. I can’t keep living in everyone’s shadow, being a burden. I want to find my own path–far away. And now is my only chance, because once Jack comes back, he’ll never let me go.

Her words twist something deep in my chest. I study her determined expression, then say quietly, “I might know the perfect place. Somewhere safe… but free.”

Her brows lift slightly.

“My old pack–the Red Night Pack–is no longer the cruel place it was under Diana’s rule. It’s now led by my former best friend. He’s… not as kind and gentle toward me as he once was, but I know he’s forever grateful to Jack for saving his life–just as Jack saved Fury’s. I’m certain he wouldn’t refuse you a place there. You could even stay with my adoptive mother. She’s lonely without me and would welcome you with open arms.”

“What’s your former best friend’s name?”

“Caspian…” she repeats slowly, as if tasting the name.

I smirk faintly. “So… are you leaving immediately, or do you want to say goodbye to everyone first?”

She shakes her head. “No goodbyes. I want to leave quietly. No fuss.”

“Alright. We’ll go through the back door,” I say. “But first, we’ll return to the palace so I can arrange for the best royal guards to escort you to the Red Night Pack. Jack’s uncle is still out there, and I won’t risk you traveling unprotected. We can’t take

chances.”

Her lips twitch into a sad smile. “Deal.”

I pull her into a hug, holding her tightly. “I’m really going to miss you.”

She squeezes me back and chuckles faintly against my shoulder. “Then make sure Jack doesn’t come looking for me. I’m not ready for his overprotective big brother act.”
