JASMINE’S POV
After encountering Princess Coral, I was relieved to leave the room.
Her interrogation had been intense, and it was like she had me caught.
I looked up and saw that it was almost sunset.
I had summoned my bird!
I could not hang around with anyone or anywhere at all.
I needed to be somewhere no one could come.
If sunset arrived, the bird would fly down to me wherever I was, and they would see I owned a summoning bird.
I began to pace back and forth, wondering where I could go.
I could not go to the lake.
It was quite a distance, and I could not risk going there too frequently.
I needed to be somewhere completely different.
Then I remembered that there was an old, abandoned castle near ours.
It was an extension of the pack but abandoned and crumbling.
I had even seen crows hovering around.
If I went there, no one would suspect me.
I hurried out of the castle, and after ten minutes, I found myself in the scary castle.
The moment I stepped in, it became sunset, and I saw a beautiful white owl on the horizon flying to me.
I looked at her in amazement.
She was so beautiful.
She came and landed on the railings before me.
I looked down at her, and she, in turn, looked at me.
"So you’re Qitania," I said.
She just looked around.
I gently touched her head, and she ruffled her feathers.
Then I saw that there was paper rolled under her claws.
I gently pulled it out and opened it.
There were some writings in it.
They had given me a message from home.
How was I even going to read it?
I still didn’t know how to read or write.
And then, it occurred to me that if I didn’t know how to write, I would not be able to deliver any messages to them.
"How do I even read this or send it to you when I still have no idea how to read or write?" I said.
The bird made its sound, and then I sighed.
So much had already happened. fгeewebnovёl.com
I knew that my family would not be allowed into the pack for the Halo festival, so they would hear about it but not know about it.
My father would be furious at me.
I shook in fear at the thought of my father being angry with me.
I shivered.
He was very far away, but he was still able to instill so much fear in me.
After much thought, I decided to send the little bird away and learn to read and write as quickly as possible.
I couldn’t trust anyone to read or write for me. I was an enemy here.
I dipped the paper into my dress and played with Qitiana a little before letting her go.
She swooped, and I saw her wings on the horizon.
Then I went down from the old and abandoned castle and found my way back to the main pack castle.
Fortunately, I had not had any run-ins with Alpha Xaden lately.
At least since he told me, I would perform as an entertainer at the Halo festival.
I didn’t even know what that meant.
