Jasmine’s throat clocked together as she listened to every word she said.
She knew that he had done things, but this was so gruesomely
She was too ashamed, and she did not even know what to say.
"I had lived in the safe territory for about six years before Alpha Xaden came to get me himself a few weeks ago," Fiona said.
Every new revelation just made matters worse.
"You were how old them?" Jasmine asked.
"I was only thirteen," Fiona said. "If he had succeeded in taking me away, then he would have delivered me to his son as a sex slave. Right at the age of thirteen."
Jasmine closed her face as it dawned on her how much of a monster her father was.
She did not deny it; however, she tried to appease her father.
She had even tried to make him see that she was worthy of being his daughter.
Now, she did not think she wanted that anymore.
She was not sure she wanted to bear his blood.
She was ashamed.
"I was not let to even bury her," Fiona said. "I begged them to. But they just kicked me on a dirty carriage with all the loot and other women and killed the men. It was horrible."
The scariest part about it all was that Fiona had no tears in her eyes.
People like these were the ones to be afraid of and, most times, the ones who dealt with their pain from within.
"I am so sorry. I am so sorry you had to deal with this," Jasmine said, her voice breaking.
"He killed all of them simply because he wanted my mother. Simply because she turned him down." She said. "There are laws set in place against such tyranny, but the royal family did absolutely nothing. I hate them! And I hate anyone that comes from that blood! I’ve seen them all; they are selfish and horrible people. And I will bring them down one day. They could have stopped it, but they did nothing."
Fiona spoke with so much zeal and emotional turmoil that Jasmine understood where she was coming from.
The tears still did not drop from her eyes; instead, it was Jasmine who was in tears.
"You are the daughter of a Luna you are not supposed to be a servant like the rest of us," Jasmine said. "You are of High brow blood."
Fiona shook her head. "Yes, but I wanted myself concealed. I wanted to be just a simple girl who had survived a rogue attack. I begged Alpha Xaden, and he agreed. Only he and Alpha Erik know. And now you."
Jasmine went quiet.
Why was Fiona telling her own secret when she had secrets of her own?
How would Fiona feel if she found out that she was helping her father spy on the pack and discover everything?
She would never forgive her.
Fiona sat up and held Jasmine’s hands. "But you, you are different. And you are nothing like your father. At least you are not a member of the royal family."
They giggled together and then went silent for a while.
"I am going to tell you something that I have never told anyone in my entire life," Jasmine said.
