Chapter 138: BLOOD SISTERS

Jasmine nodded weakly.

She knew that Xaden would not have so quickly let her go.

He had believed her to have a hand in his attempted murder.

Even though she told him she knew about the spy in the pack, she had had no hand in any of it.

How was he supposed to believe her anyway?

"Your majesty, forgive me, but Alpha Xaden would never let me go." Jasmine expressed. "He believes that I have a hand in his attempted murder and everything bad that has happened."

"Rose. I want to talk to you about something." Hildegard said.

"Go on." She prodded.

Hildegard sighed. "Jasmine is a beautiful girl. Don’t you think it’s odd that she looks so much like what Scarlet would look like?"
