"So lily took up my work in the pack." Jasmine said changing the subject of her baby.
"Yes." Fiona said. "I don’t like house hold chores as you know so when she offered I didn’t really have a problem."
"I feel terrible." Jasmine admitted. "Xaden is her mate and here I am pregnant with his child."
"Well we can’t all have what we want can we?" Fiona rose a brow as she stuffed a spoon of chocolate pudding in her mouth.
"I guess we can’t. But she has been kind to me." Jasmine said. "And I was surprised. I expected her to be vindictive and hateful towards me. Nothing like Anna."
"Gods no." Fiona shook her head. "Anna is a monster. I’m surprised she was all smiles. I know it’s just for show but still surprised."
"I still can’t believe that he brought me to this room." Jasmine pointed out. "This is his mother’s bedroom and he chose to bring me here. There are so many other rooms in this pack. Why here?" freёwebnoѵel.com
"Maybe because he knows that people won’t be stupid enough to harm you in this room." Fiona explained. "From what I heard this room since it had been renovated had been untouched. No one was allowed to stay here. Well now except for you. It’s at the further side of the east wing. You would have to pass through the guards both at the east and west wing to get here. There is no way anyone can come in just like that."
"Anna didn’t seem happy to know that I was staying in her mother’s bedroom." Jasmine pointed out.
"She should get over it. There are so list she can do is complain. Xaden isn’t going to kick you out." Fiona waved her hand dismissively.
Jasmine held her stomach protectively.
"I know what she is capable of." Jasmine explained. "And I won’t let her anywhere my child. I don’t want you to either."
"You would think someone would be kind to their own niece." Fiona snorted irritated. "Not Anna. Never Anna. I still can’t believe that she is going to be mated with Erik. After everything she has done, she still somehow gets away with it." Jasmine said as she yawned .
Fiona’s face went pale white and her body went cold .
Jasmine frowned. "Fiona are you alright?"
Fiona nodded. "Of course I’m fine".
"I just mentioned Anna and Erik and you went white." Jasmine said. "Come to think of it, when we were at the dinning table and she made her announcement, you seemed very unhappy."
Fiona shook her head. "Trust me it’s nothing."
Jasmine looked closely at her friend not believing a word she had to say .
"Are you sure? You don’t seem fine." Jasmine stubbornly argued.
As they were conversing, Jasmine heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Jasmine said.
"You can’t just let people come in without knowing who they are." Fiona reprimanded her.
Jasmine shrugged. "I’ll do better next time. Don’t change the subject."
And then Erik came into the room with Kire running far ahead.
"Oh Erik it’s you!" Jasmine giggled and then Kire jumped on the bed.
She hugged him and massaged his wolf fur.
"Such a long time. I haven’t seen you in a while buddy." Jasmine remarked and he wagged his tail. "I’ve missed you. Did you miss me too Kire?"
"I can swear to you that he did." Erik said as he walked to the chest of drawers closest to them and leaned against it. "Drove me crazy. Kept on hovering around and crying through the night." Erik said.
Kire was panting excitedly as Jasmine laughed with him.
"Fiona was just saying how I shouldn’t just let anyone into the room next time". Jasmine said as she scratched Kire’s ears.
"Fiona is not wrong you know. Better safe than sorry." Erik remarked .
Jasmine smiled and continued playing with Kire.
And then Erik turned to look at Fiona who was rigid and was intentionally not looking at him.
