Chapter 188
LISA’S POV
Lisa, heavy and weighed down with defeat, walked down the stairs sulking.
How dreadful!
All her plans had gone to ruin because of what Aurora had done.
And now Jasmine was hanging between life and death.
How was she going to be assigned her rightful place as the mistress of the pack?
How would Xaden now take her to be in his favor?
She had to think fast, and for the first time in her life, she did not want Jasmine dead.
She wanted her alive and well so that when
Xaden found out the truth it would hit him well.
If he found out when she was dead, it would be irrelevant because then there would be no one to face his wrath.
Moreover, what good would a story be if the narrator was dead?
She went down the stairs and saw some servants whispering about it.
She went to them to overhear what they were saying.
“What had happened?” Lisa demanded haughtily.
The girl went quiet when they saw her and rolled their eyes.
“I asked a question, and I demand an answer,” Lisa said nastily.
One of the girls folded her arms and looked at her while the others barely paid her any interest.
“What is it to you?” The girl asked her nastily. “Do tell me?!”
Lisa gasped in outrage at that disrespect.
These were girls who kissed her feet.
Why were they being nasty to her all of a sudden?
“How dare you speak to me in such a manner!” She demanded in fueled rage and disgust.
“Oh shut up, Lisa!” The other girls Hissed at her. “If you must know, then we shall inform you. Your lovey lovely mistress is dead. Yes, that is right. The one who gives you favors and Protection is dead. And now you know what that means, do you not?”
Lisa was still taken aback, trying to piece two and two together.
“It simply means that you are no longer our boss. We only respected or rather feared you because of your closeness with Lady Aurora and how she is gone. Who are you going to turn to for support?” The third girl hissed.
Lisa just looked at them with her mouth wide open in disbelief and humiliation.
How dare they?
After everything she had done for them? All the favors.
“You ungrateful little bitches!” She hissed, and to her surprise, they all burst out laughing and giggling at each other.
“Call us whatever you want to call us.” The second girl said. “We will never answer you again. We are not afraid of you. We belong to the highest bidder, and unfortunately for you, you are no longer that.”
The girls laughed and pushed her out of their way before heading out.
Lisa just looked, blinking in annoyance.
She did what was the one thing she knew how to do when she was in doubt or anxious.
She tossed her beautiful blonde hair over her shoulder and then stumbled away.
Telling herself that she did not need them and, instead, they were the ones who needed her.
Then she overheard some of the kitchen staff and a guard discussing.
Not taking a chance to ask them what was happening, she hid behind a door and waited to hear their conversation.
“How awful!” The chef said. “She died!”
“Alpha Xaden has no choice.” The female guard said. “I saw it with my own eyes. It was either she killed Jasmine and went on killing others, or he killed her.”
“Such a shame!” The other chef said. “I never liked Aurora. She was a nasty old bitch. But yet she never deserved that.”
“She did not.” The other cool agreed. “I wonder what happened.”
The guard shrugged her shoulders. “No one knows. She just started killing the other wolves. She killed about nine men. We lost a number.”
“May the goddess lead them to the gates.” The two chefs said in unison
Then, one chef cleared her throat. “So what is Alpha Xaden doing now?”
“He is currently with Jasmine.” The guard said.
“I wonder if she really saved Little Lana.” The first chef said.
The second chef sighed. “I do not know exactly what to say, but we all know Lana is a little troublemaker who gets into trouble. And she claimed that was what happened. Perhaps Jasmine was not so bad.”
“Well Alpha Xaden has declared that they all be put to death for defying his orders.” The guard said
The women gasped, and Lisa stood overhearing them.
“Where is Lady Aurora now?” Someone asked.
“Last I heard, her body was taken to Loren’s quarters.” The guard said.
Lisa heard that, and that piqued her interest.
She highly suspected that Aurora had not just gone on a killing spree.
Just like that!
She, too, had hated Jasmine and wanted to get rid of her!
So what had happened?
She decided she had heard enough gossip, so she hurriedly tiptoed up the stairs to Loren’s quarters to investigate for herself.
She looked around sneakily and saw that no one was in sight.
There were no guards around, so she hurriedly entered the room. Fortunately, the door was already unlocked.
She stepped in, and then she found Aurora’s body on the table covered with a cloth.
She opened it, and then she looked at her.
She smiled wickedly. “What a waste. Look at you. I will be the one to take over. What made you do what you did? I hope you give me the answers I need.”
Then Lisa went off looking around and searching her body.
For some clue or something.
After a while, she found nothing, and she was frustrated.
She knew that she could not be found here.
She gave up in frustration, and she was about to leave when she moved from the body, and Aurora’s hand dropped.
She frowned and saw that her hands were in a fist.
She pried it open and saw a loc of hair.
She picked it up and sniffed it, and then she gasped.
This was going to bring everything DOWN!
