Chapter 421
Once the maid had cleaned up the spilled tea, Jasmine still in thought.
“Do you think I should go and offer her my apologies now?” Jasmine asked. “She looked terribly upset.”
“No.” Nanny Nia waved it up. “You already apologized so just let her take some air. Then later you could still check on her.”
Jasmine sighed deeply.
She troubled about Kire behaving so erratically.
It was nothing like him.
“You need to take your medications.” Nanny Nia urged Jasmine. “It’s getting late.”
At that moment Fiona came by.
“What happened here?” Fiona questioned as she saw the maid finally gathering the broken pieces of the cup away.
“I was about to take my tea and Kire kept growling at Lily.” Jasmine said massaging her forehead. “He looked like he was ready to rip her into pieces if we left him.”
“Which Kire?” Fiona asked in disbelief.
Nanny Nia sighed
“Running around making trouble Kire? The same one?” Fiona asked. “I find that hard to believe.”
“Maybe something happened.” Jasmine shrugged.
“Something did happen.” Fiona said. “He doesn’t like Lily. End of story.”
Jasmine shook her head.
“Do you want your tea here or inside?” Nanny Nia asked.
“I’ll have it here please.” Jasmine said. “Maybe after I’m done from here on my way back to the room, I could stop by at Lily’s.”
Nanny Nia nodded. “I’ll go get the tea now.”
And with that she went in the direction of the kitchen leaving Jasmine with Fiona.
“I still can’t believe that Kire growled at Lily.” Fiona pointed. “You need to see him chasing and tormenting the little pups. Coupled with the fact that he is an adult wolf. He handles them with care when playing.”
“I don’t think he would just attack her like that too.” Jasmine said reasonably. “To be honest? If there is anyone I had expected him to attack it’s Anna.”
Fiona giggled.
“It’s true.” Jasmine laughed. “I know Animals can sense these things. Anna is the worst. Lily has been kind to me
From the moment Xaden left. Not what I expected. She always tries to take me out of my room. She has been kind to me.”
Fiona sighed. “You know my problem with you? You’re too trusting.”
“She isn’t bad.” Jasmine said.
“Jasmine for someone who has witnessed so much betrayal and horrible treatments from people even worse than I have.” Fiona pointed out. “One would think that you would be wary of people and how you let them in.”
“I am.” Jasmine argued as she gently felt a kick in her tummy.
She rubbed her tummy and took in a deep breath.
She looked at the small lake beside the gazebo and watched as baby ducks swam with their mother.
Jasmine sighed in heavily. “Everything seems to be going fine now. No one is particularly out to kill me anymore. I can start something new here. Once Xaden returns.”
She felt a shadow of asked overwhelm her.
She still had heard no news about him.
She was trying her best not to worry too much about it.
Everyone told her not to because it would affect the baby but she couldn’t help herself.
“Have you heard anything?” Jasmine asked Fiona.
Fiona shook her head. “You would be the first to know if I heard anything.”
Jasmine shook her head and turned away.
“Something is wrong.” Jasmine said. “I can feel it in my bones. Something is wrong.”
“You are pregnant.” Fiona reminded her and Jasmine got up from her seat annoyed. “You can’t afford to be thinking about such things. Your pregnancy is delicate.”
Jasmine paced the room and folded her arms.
“I might die.” Jasmine broke to Fiona.
“What?” Fiona asked astonished.
“I might die.” Jasmine repeated. “My chances of surviving this pregnancy is low.
“What do you mean by that?” Fiona asked.
Jasmine still hadn’t told Fiona what Marie had said.
Just her and Nanny Nia. She hadn’t even told Loren too because he had traveled with Ned for some work.
“If I give birth to an unshifted wolf like me then my labor might not be as complicated.” Jasmine said. “But if I give birth to a pup. I might not be able to push out the baby. A c section would be performed and the chances of me sieving that is low.”
Fiona’s face was white as chalk.
“How low?” Fiona asked.
“In a possibility of 50, three.” Jasmine said.
“You can’t keep that baby.” Fiona said. “You need to tell Xaden.”
Jasmine gasped. “How can you say such a thing? You were the one who promised me that if anything happened to my baby you would look after it.”
“Yes I did.” Fiona said. “But that was before you told me this! We all knew about the risks to your pregnancy but this is whole new thing. You might actually die.”
“This isn’t the support I expected from you.” Jasmine said well disappointed.
Fiona sighed and walked up to Jasmine and gently put her hands on her shoulders.
“I’m sorry.” Fiona started. “But I’m just trying to-
Jasmine pulled away from her.
“Jasmine this is serious.” Fiona said.
“WELL IT’S TOO FUCKING LATE FORAN ABORTION!” Jasmine snapped at Fiona shocking both of them.
There was a pregnant silence between both women for a while before Jasmine spoke up.
“If you must know. My pregnancy is progressing faster than normal. It’s too ate for an abortion.” Jasmine said. “I’m tired of everyone telling me what to do with my body. Whether I live or die.”
“Jasmine I am sorr-.” Fiona said but Jasmine ignored the apology as she cut in.
“You can’t amd you will not tell Xaden.” Jasmine said. “What I just told you.”
“He had a right to know.” Fiona argued.
“From what you said a few minutes ago, I already don’t trust you anymore.” Jasmine stated matter of fact. “But if you go and tell him what I just confided in you. I will never be friends with you ever again.”
And with that Jasmine stormed out of the gazebo.
She brushed past a Nanny Nia who was now standing with the tea in a tray and went to the pack house.
