Early the next morning Jasmine was up cleaning and clearing up the place when Richard rushed up to her.
"Hey." He said. "How was it? I couldn’t come and speak to you last night because Alpha Xaden was really pissed off. I had to be careful."
"It’s alright." She waved off. "I really hope I didn’t put you into any trouble last night."
He shrugged. "No not really. It’s all good. I’ll probably be forced to do some manual
Labor because they know I was involved but that’s about it."
Jasmine sighed weakly. "I am so sorry. I’ll take whatever punishment they gave you. It’s all my fault."
"I’m not complaining am I?" He asked his hands on his waists. "Are you going to tell me what happened or not?"
Then Jasmine proceeded to tell him everything that happened.
"She lied against you?" Richard asked. "We all thought she was in her little cage and refused to come out. We were so shocked to see her together with you."
"She followed me." Jasmine said as she put things in their places and packed up the bags. "And cooked up a story on how I almost got us kidnapped. Of course he believes her."
"I hate her." Richard said.
Jasmine said nothing. "It was all a waste because I am still useless. Like hell, I don’t even know what happed to Urma that she died. So what was really the point of it all?"
"You’re not useless. The magic didn’t work on you that a plus." He said.
At that moment a sulky looking Anna came out of her princess carriage and stormed right past them.
"What’s wrong with her?" Richard whispered.
Jasmine shrug her shoulders and went on with her chores packing up as they prepared to resume the journey.

Anna marched straight into Xaden’s tent.
Erik was with him and they were looking over maps.
Erik’s face fell when he looked up and saw her.
"My little sister." Xaden announced.
He opened his arms up for her to give him a hug.
She gave a stiff smile and went into his arms.
From behind the hug she stared at Erik.
"How are you?" He asked when he released her and cupped her face.
She nodded with a smile. "I’m fine."
"And your injuries?" Xaden asked as he looked around her arm.
"They have already healed. Erik was such a gentle man with him." She said lying on purpose.
"That’s Erik for you." He said. "We would soon be home now. You would love it. You are beginning to scent like our bloodline now. That hideous spell that was used to diminish your scent is almost gone."
She smiled at him.
She was genuinely happy and curious to be going to where was now going to be her new home.
"I’m sorry about Jasmine." He said. "I would make sure you two don’t have to relate with each other. I’m sure she reminds you of your past. I’ll make sure she is punished and stays as faraway from you as possible. She would never harm you again. Okay?"
She nodded and then he kissed her cheek.
"Xaden I need to tell you something." She said
"Does it concern you in anyways? He is my brother and I do not need your permission to speak to him mate or not." She answered rudely. freewёbnoνel.com
