Loren led Jasmine away into the castle amidst the glares and whispers from people around.
"She deserves to be beheaded." Someone said.
"She is a traitor."
"I heard she slept with the guards to free her."
"She is just like her father."
"She tried to kill our Alpha after he was good to her."
"Well, I heard that she put poison in his drink to make him choose her as his mate for the halo festival."
Jasmine swallowed as she passed.
The people didn’t even bother to reduce their voices as they were gossiping.
They were just loud to her hearing.
"Ignore them." Loren said to her.
He led her up the stairs and she was extremely tired as the chains weighed her down.
As she reaches the final step she almost tripped.
"Easy." Loren said as he held her arm to support her from falling down.
He held her and assisted her as she managed to walk into the room.
