Both women went silent.
"The past has happened and I hate so say this but we are all victims of Bale and his plots." Xaden said after a deep sigh. "He is gone and that is all that matters now."
Anna who was seemingly angry that her brother who has just rescued her has snapped at her all because of Jasmine.
She stormed to a seat and sat down annoyed.
Then Xaden turned to Jasmine. "When you are done eating we need to discuss something’s in private."
"Are you finally going to kill me?" Jasmine asked her head filled with curiosity.
Erik choked on his food while Xaden laughed at her.
Jasmine looked at both men confused.
Anna was equally as confused.
"I don’t understand. What is funny?" She asked them.
"The fact that you think I am going to kill you." He said wiping a tear.
Then he put on a very straight and no nonsense face. "But Your father was a monster. And he treated everyone around him horribly. Not even you were an exception. I believe that is enough."
Jasmine turned and made eye contact with Anna who was now glaring at her with hatred.
Then he turned to Anna.
"I understand that this all seems like a rushed up work. Too much and everything is happening at once. But I assure you that this is for the best. By the time we return home, everything will be much better."
Anna was choking through her own face, but she tried her best to maintain calm.
"I just don’t want anything to Disrupt our new found
Peace. After everything." She said.
"And I can not begin to understand how you feel." He said. "You are my sister and I will take responsibility of you and protect you in the best way possible."
She nodded her head and then when they had resumed eating, she cleared her throat.
"Since Jasmine you are not terminating her life." Anna said coldly. "When will she be leaving us? Or Better still she will remain here and serve as a servant."
All this Anna said staring right down at Jasmine without even the least bit shaking.
Xaden looked at Jasmine and then turned back to Anna.
"Jasmine will be leaving this pack." Xaden said.
Jasmine’s felt a heavy weight drop at the bottom of her stomach.
What had she been thinking? That he would take her with him? After everything? What a fool she was.
Anna smiled triumphantly .
"She will be leaving with us." He said.
Anna looked at him. "What?!
"What?" Jasmine equally said in shock.
"But you said she will be leaving!" Anna cried.
"Yes, but with us." Xaden finished. "She will resume her work as a servant and specially under me."
Jasmine felt her heart race at his words.
What did he mean by that?
Anna twisted her face. "She had been horrible to me all my life I have been here. Is it fair that I hate the trauma of having lived with people who kidnapped me and still have their daughter around me? She will murder me when she has the slightest opportunity."
"She will do no such thing." Xaden said. "You have my word."
