Chapter 330
Jasmine was on her horse riding down the steep hill that loooed towards mage city.
She had been riding for a while now and she saw that she was much nearer.
She brought her horse to a halt and sighed heavily before opening the satchel in which she had placed Urma’s letter and examined it.
She was going to find out now.
Whether she was a dormant wolf or if someone had locked her wolf just as Xaden had said.
Even though the latter she doubted. Who would want to lock her wolf when she was an absolute nobody.
Or as every one had said, she was simply unshifted wolf.
Either ways she would find out.
She felt some movement behind her and she knew someone was watching her.
She had sensed it at first when she had started her journey but she had ignored it.
She didn’t turn around because she didn’t what whoever it was scared away.
She came down from her horse and acted like she wanted to give him some food.
“You seem hungry.” She said aloud and gently tapped his head. “I should get you something nice. I shall not be long.”
And then she went off towards the direction of the lush forest.
She went into the forest and stood behind a tree to watch.
She watched as a hooded figure came with their own horse.
The stalker came down from the horse and seemed to be looking through Jasmine’s horse and items.
Jasmine slowly removed the dagger that Erik had given her and went round so as not to come facing the person who had been following her.
She took a shorter route and soon she was out of the forest and at the back of the individual.
She gently went behind him, minding her steps and trying her best not to make any sounds.
With her dagger in her hand, and when she saw certain that she was within grasp of grabbing whoever it was, she lunged.
She put the dagger to the person’s throat and turned the person around to face her.
“Who are you and why are you following me?” She demanded as she pushed down the hood.
It was none other than Anna.
“You?!” Jasmine said in surprise.
“Gods take off the dagger from my throat Jasmine.” Anna hissed. “You’re hurting me.”
Jasmine gave her an annoyed look and then took off the dagger.
Anna grumbled to herself as she adjusted her dress.
“Why are you even following me?” Jasmine asked. “How long have you been following me?”
“I should be asking you why you drained out in the middle of the camp?” Anna hissed.
Jasmine rolled her eyes further irritated. “Me leaving the camp was none of your business.”
“It was all of my business.” Anna corrected. “Because you are a traitor and you are a threat to the happiness of my brother and my new family.”
“Really?” Jasmine asked sarcastically for the first time.
“Don’t talk back at me.” Anna folded her arms.
Jasmine tried her best to keep her calm. “I am taking you back to the camp.”
Jasmine grabbed Anna’s arm and proceeded to take her back to the horse.
Anna jerked free. “I will not be going back to the camp! Let me go!”
Anna’s eyes blazed fire and she growled at Jasmine.
Jasmine who had no wolf was forced to obey.
Jasmine sighed heavily frustrated that her being an unshifted wolf meant that she was forced to obey Anna.
Jasmine sighed. “What do you want?”
“To come with you.” Anna said.
“Like hell you are!” Jasmine yelled shocking both her and Anna.
“I will agree not to tell Xaden that you lied about there being rogue robbers on the road in order to escape unless I come along with you.” Anna said.
“Are you threatening me?” Jasmine asked.
“Yes I am.” Anna admitted. “And just you wait and see. I’ve done worse when we lived together. You know me. I would tell more lies and add little stories.”
Anna smiled and pranced around. “What do you think my dear brother would do when he finds out that you lied to the camp so you could find a lover of yours.”
Jasmine’s eyes glinted. “You wouldn’t.”
“Or, I tell him that you went off to have me killed by his enemies because you’ve always hated and envied me.” Anna said deviously. “I will do it Jasmine. I have done it before and I sure as hell would do it again.”
Jasmine sighed in very heavily as she debated whether the time had come to kill Anna.
It was long overdue.
“Fine.” She said after a very long breath. “You can come along. But you will not stray far away from me. And you will ask no questions.”
“I don’t take orders from you.” Anna said impudently.
“If you’re going to follow me, then you sure as hell would.” Jasmine said using more of the hell word. “We don’t know what we are going to face in mage city and if anything happens to you then Xaden would kill me.”
Anna looked at her coyly. “He is referred to as Alpha Xaden not as Xaden.”
Jasmine gave a stiff face. “Of course Alpha Xaden.”
Anna eyed her suspiciously and went on to say. “I will not be taking any instructions from you.”
“And I said like hell you would?!” Jasmine snapped.
Anna was forced to close her lips tightly and say nothing.
Jasmine grumbled at her use of the word hell.
Xaden and Erik’s bad influence was rubbing off of her too much now.
They said it a lot and she was beginning to get used to it and with the slightest opportunity she now used it.
Whatever it was, she was not going to let Anna ruin her plans.
“Let’s go.” Jasmine said as she got on her horse.
She didn’t bother to see if Anna was following behind she just went in ahead.
“This is going to be a very long journey.” Jasmine said to herself in annoyance.
