"What?" Anna demanded in rage once she heard Xaden refer to the dark haired girl as her sister.
Her mind went straight to the oil painting of their family and she had not seen any extra girl.
What was all this joke about?
Xaden cleared his throat. "Fiona his my adoptive sister. I took her in. She is from a distant pack and her mother was an alpha. I took her in as my sister. Hence why she is yours too."
Anna could hardly blink.
Just when she had believed that all the affection and love she was going to get from Xaden would only be to her, here was someone else she wS supposed to share with?
An adoptive sister.
She was his adoptive sister. Not hers. She didn’t have to become her sister.
She turned and looked at the girl and a complete scan told her she did not like the girl.
She knew the girl already didn’t like her too.
Anna swallowed and because she was trying her best to portray an image of a well behaved girl to Xaden, she extended her gloved hand to Fiona.
"Well, it seems that we have to get along. I am-
"JASMINE!" Fiona screamed.
Anna’s face turned red.
"What?" Anna blinked.
Fiona raced right past her and Anna turned to see that it was in fact Jasmine.
Fiona was hugging her so tight and saying words like. "Thank the goddess you are safe. I was so worried. Worried about you!"
Anna realized that her hand which she had given out was still hanging in the air.
Embarrassed, she quickly pulled it away and put it by her side.
Soon all the other people who were coming by were around Jasmine.
Asking her if she was fine. How they missed her. If the journey was good.
Anna was furious.
She was the long lost daughter of this pack! This was her family. Her real family and somehow Jasmine had managed to steal the spotlight and become everyone’s worry.
She felt forgotten and isolated even in her own home.
Xaden cleared his throat.
"Fiona." He said and Fiona turned away from Jasmine, very reluctantly. "Would you take Anna up to her room?"
Xaden gently reached out and squeezed his sister’s arm. "Your childhood bedroom, the room that our mother had designed for you has been made to your taste. The same way mother would have wanted it."
Then he turned back to Fiona. "You know which of the rooms I’m speaking on. Please take her there."
"I don’t think I can." Fiona replied. "I had promised to take Jasmine to see some new crafts I had made with my wolf. Someone else should do that."
Anna decided there and then she hated Fiona as much as she hated Jasmine.
"No you wouldn’t." Xaden stated. "It was not a request."
Fiona’s face fell instantly.
"I’ll take her." Erik’s voice announced.
Anna was surprised.
He was the last person she had expected would offer to do anything for her.
Especially after her threat.
