The entire room went hush.
Anna, who had been weeping, was so stunned her tears froze.
She was rendered speechless.
Erik must have realized what he said because he began to apologize.
"Anna, I am sorry." He said. "That’s now what I meant.
But she jerked her hand free from her brother’s grasp and glared at both of them.
"I was never welcome here. Back in the moonlight pack, I was an outsider, and now, in my own home, where I could finally call home, I am an outsider?" Anna demanded. "After everything that I witnessed in the moonlight pack. All the awful things Jasmine and her parents did to me. And now she wins? It’s not enough that she torments and makes fun of me
"My own brother." She said she looked sharply at Xaden. "And my own mate?"
And then she looked sharply at Erik.
She shook her head.
"I expected this from anyone else, but not the only ones I view as family. Now I know I would never belong here
And before either of the two men could stop her, she raced out of the room.
Erik sighed and turned to Xaden.
"I’ll go after her."
And then he went. "Anna, wait."
Xaden stepped into the room and closed the door shut.
Jasmine got up from her bed.
"You shouldn’t be getting up from your bed." Xaden said. "You should be resting."
"I’m pregnant. Not bedridden. Plus, I don’t think the baby likes staying in one place." She said quickly, hiding the fact that she had been snappy with him
He seemed to ignore it. "How do you know? Can you feel it?"
Jasmine shrugged. "I don’t know. But my body. I just know what she likes and doesn’t."
"She?" Xaden asked, surprised. "Marie said we weren’t to know the gender until it had gone far along."
He came and stood closer to her and the setting sunlight streaked against his face and his onyx eyes were enhanced.
She felt her heart skip.
"Yes. But I know it’s going to be a boy."
She quickly said.
He nodded and hovered around one of the tables.
"Jasmine, you are here because I want you
here." He said. "Not because I want you to terrorize my sister-
She started to explain. "I swear it. That was not what happened-
He ignored her and kept on talking. "Or kiss my second in gamma."
She went red at the last part.
So he had seen Erik kiss her forehead.
She swallowed. "That’s not what happened. He only kissed my forehead."
"But it was a kiss nonetheless." Xaden pointed out.
Jasmine felt herself go red again because she had just admitted it.
Xaden stopped. freёweɓnovel.com
