Chapter 298
Once Jasmine was done talking to Urma she walked down the hallway.
She trusted Urma with her life and she had been there for her when no one had.
When everyone had turned a blind eye to all her suffering.
But why did she feel like Urma was keeping it away from her.
Why did she feel like she was lying to her.
Like she was keeping something away from her.
Jasmine had one more person to see.
One more person who might the answers to her questions even though she truly did not want to see the person.
She went down the stairs amidst stares of guilt and shame from her pack members.
Guilt that they had treated her horribly and somehow she had gotten away.
She had survived.
The worst of all was Jessica who was now Anna.
As kind as Jasmine was, it genuinely frustrated her that Jessica had had everything.
Had had the life that she who had been his legitimate daughter had never had and now even after the pack had fallen, she was magically Xaden’s sister.
And she could see, she could tell that Xaden was please and happy that his sister had come to him.
She was fully aware of the fact that he would never let lack anything.
So Anna still won.
One way or the other.
She sighed heavily and then she found Erik talking to Kire.
“Hello.” She smiled at them. “What are you two up to?”
Erik looked up at saw her.
“Kire here has refused to return to me. I’ve done everything. But he simply wants to stay.” Erik said annoyed.
Kire who was wagging his tail excitedly at her whimpered when he saw how Erik was angry at him.
“Is there any specific reason?” Jasmine asked as she bent and ruffled his ears.
“I have no idea.” Erik said his hands on his waist. “He is stubborn but he usually merges back to me at most in a week. This is longer than that.”
“Well. You could talk to Urma. She knows these things. And will probably be able to give you a solution.” She said.
“I never considered that.” Erik admitted.
She smiled at Kire and then stood up to face Erik.
“I wanted to please ask a favor.” She said.
“Yes?” He rose a brow.
“I want to see a prisoner and I am sure just anyone can not do that.” She said wisely.
“Who?” He asked.
“My step mother? Luna Maria.” She said. “I just want to speak to her about some things. I have questions that no one would know the answer to if not her.”
Erik sighed and folded his arms.
“And please do not tell Xaden.” She begged.
“Alright I will give you a pass to see her.” He revealed.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you so much. You have no idea what this means to me-
And then from nowhere Xaden was standing behind them.
She jumped.
He frowned.
“What is going on and why is Jasmine thank you?” He asked.
Jasmine and Erik exchanged looks.
She held her tongue.
Xaden frowned further.
“Must I repeat to everyone that I do not like being kept in the dark.” An annoyed Xaden demanded.
“Jasmine wants to see Luna Maria.” Erik blurted out.
“Erik!” She gasped at how quickly he had ousted her. “You said you were not going to tell.”
Xaden looked at her sharply. “You were going to see a dangerous prisoner without my permission?”
“She is a prisoner. And there are guards there. She is barely dangerous.” Jasmine replied tartly.
“You have grown a big mouth now haven’t you?” He asked.
And it occurred to her that she had been sharp.
When this had happened she had no idea.
Perhaps it was the moment she had faced her father and all her fears and all the pain and trauma had broken loose.
Because never in her life would she had snapped at Xaden.
And then Xaden turned to Erik. “And you were going to assist her without telling me?”
Erik rose his hands up. “Hey. Don’t put me in the middle of your scuffle.”
“He was just trying to help.” She said.
“And why did you not ask me?” He asked.
“Because you would freak out. Just like how you are doing right now.” She said.
He put his hands in his waists and sarcastically said. “Well blame me if you are not guilty of running around and doing your own thing. Which has jeopardized a lot of my plan.”
She sighed. “I just wanted to ask her some questions.”
Then he surprised her by saying. “Fine you can go see her.”
And then he added.
“But I will have to follow you. are not going there alone Jasmine.”
She sighed weakly.
“There is no way I can dissuade you?” She pleaded.
“No.”
“How about I don’t go at all?”
“Too late. I am interested.” He said.
“You really do not have to.” She begged.
“What if something bad happens to you?” He asked. “You always get into one trouble or the other”.
“She is in a prison where the bars are made of silver.” Jasmine said. “If she touches it, she will be burned.”
“I don’t care.” He said stubbornly.
“This is private and personal.” She complained.
“And I am the Alpha and your master.” He said. “You obey me.”
“You said I now have a choice.” She whined.
“You told me that I had free will and I could make decisions.”
“Is that what I said?” He asked.
“Yes.” She pointed out.
“Well then, I lied.” He said.
She dropped her mouth open and her face fell instantly.
She wanted to murder him at the spot.
“Well since everyone is happy. Kire and I should be going on our way.” Erik said and made a fast exit.
She sighed heavily.
“Let’s go.” He prompted
And with no choice she was forced to follow him behind like an obedient puppy.
