Jasmine felt dazed.
The very one thing that she had been running away from was playing right in her face.
Life had a very funny way of showing itself.
She who had been the daughter of a slave.
Now her child was going to be the daughter of a slave.
Her mother had been forced to abandon her child with Alpha’s wife Luna Maria.
Jasmine was being forced to leave her child to Alpha Xaden’s mate and future wife, Lily.
Everything she was afraid of, everything she had tried her best to prevent was happening.
She imagined her child facing a worst fate than she ever did and she had shivers down her spine.
No true mother would let that happen to their own child.
"Jasmine I promise you nothing is going to happen to the child." Xaden started to speak.
"Why?" She asked quietly.
"I beg your pardon." He asked.
"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked. "After everything that I have faced you still chose to do this to me."
"I’m not doing anything to you." He said. "This is the best decision there is. After you give birth you can leave this place. Start a new life."
"Then let me leave with my child!" She begged. "You don’t even want the baby in the first place so let me leave with it. I swear by the goddess who made me live you would never ever hear from me again. We would not disturb your life. We would change our names. We would change everything. Go to a place where no one knows us. You have take everything from me. You have stripped me of every good thing that I have, leave me with my child."
He shook his head. "I’m sorry Jasmine. This can’t happen."
"YOU DO NOT EVEN WANT THE CHILD!" She screamed. "You never even wanted it. If you are so scared of letting the people use the child against you or even me, then why bother keeping the baby here? Why not send me away. Who not send the both of us away?"
"Jasmine I’m doing it for your own good." He said as he touched her arm and she jerked free. He sighed. "You need to understand this. If you want the baby to have a good life, then you would see that this is the best offer. You would see that this is the best decision we can make."
She was quiet for a while.
"Get out." Jasmine finally said .
He remained standing, uncertain he had heard well.
She grabbed a glass of wine and flung it him.
He dodged having the whole bottle hit his head but shards of the glass hit his face.
"I said get out you bastard!" She screamed throwing more things. "Get out you monster! You are worse than my father! You are worse than anyone I have ever met! GET OUT!"
She kept on throwing things at him, at the door everywhere.
He had to keep on dodging.
"Jasmine take it easy." He pleaded. "Jasmine you have to please take it easy. You’re going to hurt yourself and the baby."
She laughed. "Stop acting like you care. You don’t care about anything."
And then she flung a tray at him.
"You are as bad as everyone says you are." She said. "The rumors I heard about you, they were all true."
And then she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
