Jasmine’s hands began to shake in weakness and guilt.
That all of this had come out this way.
Some of it was not even true.
Not the way she would have expressed it at least.
And the revelation that he had wanted to make her his mistress was the last thing she would have expected.
She knew that she was in love with him.
There was no doubt that anymore.
But Xaden, she had heard, did not have many feelings for women.
Sex was strictly all that it gave him, and that was a pleasure.
But here he was now telling her that he had wanted to hear his own mistress?
She felt her head swoon.
"I was going to give you everything." He said, and his heart broke.
When she saw his face, she felt every part of her fall into absolute pieces.
He had lost his mother, the very same woman who had saved him from death and, against all odds, brought him back to life.
She had been his family after he had watched everyone he loved murdered.
She had stayed with him and nurtured him as her own all those years before he eventually went on his own to find his pack and exact revenge on her own father.
Eleanor had also been good to her.
After how she had been treated when he took her captive, it was Eleanor who was gentle and loving with her.
It was Eleanor who had taken care of him and made sure Xaden in turn was more gentle with her.
And now here he was, alone with her being murdered in the most brutal way.
And also, all her deception and secrets had been exposed now.
Everything she had done, even the fact that she had played a significant role in being her father’s spy.
It was all on him.
And what did he mean that his sister was in the pack? She did not even think of anyone who could be his sister.
If his sister had been taken and stolen, then she would have even been treated worse than she had.
But there was no such person.
Or maybe he had gotten a false piece of information from someone.
But regardless of whatever it was, to even believe that your own sister, whom you had assumed was long ago murdered, was now supposedly alive after all these years was enough to drive anyone insane.
He looked so broken she wanted to hold him up close and tell him that it was alright.
But she dare not even touch.
