Xaden came into the room and looked around from left to right.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded annoyed.
Jasmine quickly hid the paper in her sleeve ad they had both turned to face him.
She gave him a tight smile .
"You’re here." She said.
"Of course I am here." He said. "I had bloody sent out all the men in the pack looking for you. I accept final goodbyes but you are delaying our travel."
She smiled weakly at him. "Urma died. The souls took her body for her funeral."
He stopped short and seemed to be looking for the right thing to say.
He eventually managed to say a. "I am sorry for your loss. She seemed like someone who genuinely cared for you."
"She did." Jasmine remarked.
And then she felt cold remembering that Urma had truly died and was no more.
Ned turned and looked at her.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
She nodded numbly and began to hate the feeling of pity they all felt for her.
She rubbed her arms and walked ahead.
Xaden stopped Ned as he was about to follow.
"What happened?" He asked.
Ned gave a light shrug. "She just fell."
"That was it?" Xaden asked. "Nothing it of the ordinary?"
"No." Ned shook his head. "She is an old woman and I guess it was her time to go."
Xaden said nothing and Jasmine who had not completely left and was still overhearing their conversation breathed a sigh of relief before finally walking ahead.
She reached the ground floor of the pack and turned around to look at what she had known as home for a very long time.
She saw the pack members standing by windows, doors, alleys, looking down at her.
As if watching her go.
She knew that this might probably be her last time here.
There was no one to say goodbye to.
Her father and his wife were dead.
The only one person she had ever cared about was dead and gone.
There was nothing left for her here.
This was no longer her home.
She took in the place one more time and headed to where the party was.
Anna snorted when she saw her coming close to the carriage.
"I hope you have no intentions of getting into this carriage with me." Anna hissed at her.
Jasmine turned and glared at her.
She was genuinely getting so irritated of her.
Especially since she had just lost someone dear to her.
"I’m not in the mood." Jasmine said and walked away, leaving a very frustrated Anna looking back at her.
Then Xaden got on his horse and Erik pushed one of the spare horses to Jasmine. freёwebnovel.com
