?Chapter 370:

“Th-thank you,” I stammered, my voice trembling with emotion.

She turned to Ryder, who had been quietly watching the exchange. “Give her another chance,” she said firmly. “This pack needs strong women, and right now, I don’t have enough help.”

Ryder studied me for a moment before nodding. “If that’s what you want, Jasmine.”

Jasmine smiled softly, her gaze returning to me. “I need someone who understands the women in this pack, someone who can be a voice for them. Can you do that?”

“Yes,” I said quickly, nodding as tears filled my eyes. “Of course. I’ll do whatever I can.”

For the first time in a long time, I felt… light. Like maybe, just maybe, I could find a ce here again. Jasmine’s kindness was a gift I didn’t deserve, but I was determined not to waste it.

But just as I was starting to feel grounded, the door swung open, and Enzo walked in. I recognized him instantly, the prince of the Viper pack. And if Jasmine was the daughter of the Viper… that would make him Jasmine’s brother.

“Sorry,” he said, holding up his phone. “I had to take a call. What’d I miss?”

The moment our eyes met, my entire world shifted.

His gaze locked onto mine, and a strange warmth flooded my chest. It was as if the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving nothing but the two of us.

“Mate.” The word escaped my lips before I even realized I had said it.

Enzo froze, his green eyes wide with shock.

“Mate,” he repeated, his voice rough, as if he were struggling to believe it. The room seemed to tilt around me as the word sank in. Of all the things I had expected from this day, this wasn’t even on the list. My mate. Enzo was my mate.

I stood there, stunned, staring at him. I had never expected to truly meet my mate, and yet here he was—Enzo.

Jasmine and Ryder exchanged a look, their expressions a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

For a moment, I was frozen, unable to process what was happening. But then reality came crashing down, and I took a shaky step back. “This—this can’t be happening,” I whispered, my voice trembling.

Enzo’s jaw tightened, his gaze never leaving mine. “Oh, it’s happening,” he said, his voice low and firm.fn6f36 ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find?novel/fn6f36

Panic and hope warred within me, each vying for control. I didn’t know what to do, what to say, or even how to feel. All I knew was that my world had just been turned upside down.

What should I do? What do I do? How do I face him? Would he reject me? How do I exin that my mate happens to be the brother of the woman I once intended to kill? He would definitely hate me.

I’m doomed.

Is this the taste of karma?

One moment, I was still standing there. The next, I was running. I just wanted to be anywhere—anywhere other than staring into his face.
