Bale went into his room and sat down.
He hated the fact that he was made to live a life like a prisoner.
Like a prisoner? He was now a prisoner in his own home.
He gritted his teeth in anger.
When
He had first sent Jasmine off to go with Xaden he had hoped that her fact that she was afraid of him would prove to be fruitful to their cause but that had not been the case.
Jasmine has wasted her time letting well over eight months go without even sending word.
For the first time in his life Bale had truly been scared because then he had no other alternative.
The day of the new moon was coming and he was going to die.
In a haste he had managed to get one of his assassins to go to the Crescent pack and find Jasmine and threaten her.
He had been so furious how dare she not be able to give him information?
He was more scared because he knew that his life would end.
If he didn’t concoct new plans then on the day of the new moon All Xaden would have done was to arrive into their pack and find Bale and cut off his head.
When the spy had sent word that Jasmine had not been able to communicate because he was an illiterate, Bale had almost lost his mind.
She was truly useless.
Was this the best option he had had?
He could have looked for another spy but the Crescent pack was difficult to penetrate.
And moreover sending Jasmine would be obviously risky.
He was using reverse psychology.
She was the last person Xaden would expect him to send as a spy because of how much exposed she was.
He did not care about how much she was suffering.
After all she should be grateful to be alive.
So many people would die to be in her place.
His own son had been murdered by that bastard.
No amount of torture could be worse than that.
And then the Spy had shocked him by informing him that Jasmine had been the maiden during the halo festival.
Bale and Leman had been shocked.
She was a useless nobody with no powers so how come she had been chosen by the goddess to represent her?
But it did not matter because she could use it to their advantage.
At least she had something to do.
She was a useless she wolf at least she had a body and she could trade it for favor.
Now Leman finally had news about her.
He waited anxiously and then Leman came into the bedroom.
It was one of the few times Leman could be allowed to stay alone with him.
"My lord." Leman said.
Since all the high ranking wolves in the pack had been killed Leman was the only person he had left in his pack he could trust with his life and was of high rank.
"Are the guards paid?" Xaden asked not willing to take risks.
The last time that they had had a secret meeting one of the guards of the crescent pack had been undercover.
Bale had watched as all the men in the meeting were slaughtered by Garrick.
All except for the guard who has betrayed them.
He had been so furious and unable to do a single thing.
Luckily enough for him Leman had been a bit ill and unable to attend he would have died that day.
After murdering all the men, Garrick went to Bale with blood dripping all over his face.
"I can not kill you unfortunately." He said. "That is for Xaden to do. But I can kill any of your men I find having a secret rebellion against us and you will do nothing."
And it was the truth Bale had done absolutely nothing.
"What is this place?" Bale asked Leman. freeweɓnovel.cøm
