Chapter 178
AURORA’S POV
Aurora gave out instructions to the wolves who were headed out to the next territory guard and made sure that they had everything.
Since Erik had pulled away from his duties in the pack things had been more hectic on her.
Dumped on her in fact.
Last night had been a nightmare.
She had witnessed Xaden fighting his family for Jasmine.
Something that he had never for once done for her.
It tormented her beyond words. She had said Jasmine over his mate but now she was not so sure.
It was as if he did not even care about his mate.
His eyes had been on Jasmine.
Exerted his command as Alpha under all of them to obey him.
She had given a tight face and realized that perhaps she should have done something.
She was wrong to fear for the presence of his mate because it seemed she meant nothing to him.
It was Jasmine she should be afraid of.
Well today was the day she received news.
She finally came to the conclusion of what Alexander had wanted to tell her before he died.
Alexander had sent word to someone and supposedly given a letter about whatever was being concealed.
The person would be here any minute from now and once she had her hands on it, she would finally be able to get rid of Jasmine once and for all!
No more games.
She gritted her teeth as she finished off her command and the group left to the territory guard.
She went towards the castle and headed down for the alley hallways.
She saw Lisa dancing about all merry.
What was she so happy about?
She assumed that Lisa of all people would be furious for what had transpired.
But here she was being all chatty.
She had never seen Lisa in such a good mood before.
Aurora went up the stairs and came face to face with Lisa.
But Lisa did not even stop, rather she kept on walking ahead.
A shocked Aurora had to go back and grab her arm.
“How dare you not even acknowledge me?” Aurora asked angrily.
To her amazement, Lisa rolled her eyes and sighed her hands on her waist.
“What did you want, for me to kiss your feet Aurora?” Lisa hissed.
Aurora just stared in shock.
It was like a heartbreak.
She had never ever for once expected such a reaction from Lisa.
Such sudden disdain.
She gazed all over Lisa.
“How dare you?! What has gotten into you?” Aurora demanded.
Lisa rolled her eyes. “Please I have other important things to handle, you will not ruin my sunny weather.”
The rain poured even heavier and Aurora wondered if she was perhaps insane.
“It is raining.” Aurora said matter of fact.
Lisa started to fume.
She jerked her hand free. “I said it is sunny! Do not ruin my mood.”
Had Lisa just jerked her hand free from her grasp?!
Where had this come from?
Aurora regained her composure and felt the anger through her bones.
She pointed her finger at Lisa. “Look here you stupid brat! After everything I have done for you I can choose to have you dead in the split of an eye!”
To her disbelief, Lisa pushed her hand away and pointed back at her.
“You look here!” She declared taking Aurora more by surprise. “I am not your peasant! I am no longer your slave and I will no longer do your bidding. Look at you! How wretched you are. You have been in this pack for so long and yet been unable to gain favor in the eyes of Alpha Xaden.”
Aurora’s mouth dropped.
“You are old and haggard.” Lisa said. “You are a dying breed. Give way to someone else. Your time to shine has come and gone.”
Aurora was too stunned to even speak.
She just looked.
Then Lisa adjusted her dress.
“I will have you hung.” Aurora sneared.
“You can do that after I have had my meeting with Alpha Xaden.” Lisa said. “He requires my presence.”
Aurora took a step back too confused.
“I need to look my best for him. After I have seen him then you can carry out your attack. Although by then I doubt you would be able to. I might be the new mistress of this place.”
Aurora’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You stupid bit-
“Ah ah ah.” Lisa said. “We can resume fighting when I emerge from his lord’s chambers. As I have said, we are to have a word.”
And with that Lisa went off on her way towards Xaden’s office.
Aurora just stood in shock.
What had just happened? Had that just happened?
She turned around slowly and saw that the servants were whispering and looking at her.
They had been watching the entire thing.
“What are you doing? Is this perhaps some play? Get back to work you idiots!” She screamed.
They jumped and rushed on their way.
“Idiots!” She screamed as she rushed on.
Then she went fuming by the hallways she saw Fiona and Jasmine together.
Without even taking note of Fiona she caught Jamaine by the chin.
“You!” She hissed.
The basket that had been in Fiona’s hands fell to the floor.
“You are the cause of every bad thing going on.” Aurora declared squeezing her face. “I know you are hiding something.”
“Let her go!” Fiona said struggling with Aurora.
Aurora finally let go and then she glared at Fiona and Jasmine.
How had it come to this?!
No servant had ever questioned her! None.
Had they so quickly began to forget and disregard her?
She turned and saw Jasmine. “Today is the end for you! I swear it! What you are hiding is going to come to light! Everyone will know that I was right!”
And then after those words she stormed off in the direction of her bedroom.
Leaving a confused Jasmine and Fiona wondering what and just happened
