Chapter 477
Anna had taken her time to meet Xaden and ensure that he didn’t leave early to find Jasmine.
Now that she had two days, she had to work with it.
And very fast.
She found a maid passing by and then grabbed her arm.
The maid yelped.
“Where is Nanny Nia.” Anna asked.
“N…nann… nanny Nia?” The maid asked confused.
“Jasmine’s nanny.” Anna explained.
“Oh.” The maid laughed uneasily. “She is down in the kitchen doing some work.”
Anna looked around and then realized she might seem sneaky.
She felt the tremble of the maids’s hand in her grasp and then Anna hurriedly let go.
“I’m sorry.” Anna said. “I’ve just been tensed. First worried about my brother and now Jasmine. It’s been a lot for me.”
The maid seemed confused and then softened.
“I understand my lady. No one holds it against you.” The maid said. “I’m sure if you see Nanny Nia later perhaps you can speak to her on Jasmine.”
“Of course.” Anna let out a fake smile of gratitude. “When do you think she will be done from the kitchen.”
The maid seemed to think for a few seconds.
“She is assisting with the dough for pie. Perhaps twenty minutes and then she would be back.” The maid said. “If you need me to call her for you I could-
“No!” Anna said a little too hastily and then realized she had scared the maid again.
She smiled and said a softer no.
“I will see her afterwards. Thank you. I appreciate it.” Anna said as she clasped her two hands together with the maid’s hands.
The maid smiled.
“Of course my lady.”
And then she nodded her off and Anna watched the maid leave.
Once she had gone Anna took off the fake smile stamped on her face.
She sighed a sigh of relief.
She hated having to pretend in front of miserable low life servants.
But she didn’t want anyone to know what she was up to.
She had to be smart and show sympathy.
Now she knew that Nanny Nia had probably spent five minutes down in the kitchen and she had fifteen minutes to go through Jasmine’s room.
She hurried up the stairs and then by the time she got to Jasmine’s room she was beyond words exhausted.
Why did Xaden have to give her the highest room in the pack.
There were no guards by the door luckily enough since Jasmine wasn’t here anymore.
That was a relief.
Anna stepped into the room and looked around.
It further appalled her that Jasmine had been given her own mother’s room and she hated to admit it, but the room was much much pleasing and wider than hers.
She groaned to herself.
One of the reasons why she needed to get ridden of Jamsine.
Anna looked around and then started to search through.
She started from the cupboards and made sure to gently put them back.
She was irritated and wondered where the hell Lily was?
Lily was supposed to meet her Jasmine’s room. That was the agreements so that they could figure this out together.
But Jasmine had been given some tasks to handle hence why she wasn’t here yet.
Anna went through the large wardrobe pulling things out.
And then she got up to check a cupboard when she saw Lily standing by the door.
“Sweet mother!” Anna jumped in fright.
Lily herself jumped.
“Don’t scare me like that! Ever again!” Anna warned in rage.
“I just stepped into the room.” Lily stated.
“Shut the door behind you and start searching.” Anna hissed as she went back down on her knees.
This time she didn’t put the things back the way she had seen them.
“W… wh… what Lily asked confused.
“What WHAT LILIAN Anna glared at her.
“Why are we in Jasmine’s room and why are we going through her things?!” A perplexed and anxious Lily asked.
“Just start searching we don’t have time!” Anna hissed in disgust at how slow Lily was.
Lily still confused, went to the cupboards and began going through.
“What are searching for?” Lily asked.
“We are searching for a paper Anna paused as she opened a purse and found nothing. “with Jasmine’s hand writing.”
Then she threw it back.
“Why are we looking for a proper with Jasmine’s hand writing.” Lily asked as she slowly went through.
“You’re irritating me.” Anna hissed. “And make sure to put back the things I pulled out before we get caught. We don’t have time.”
Anna swallowed and pushed a loose strand of her blonde hair that kept on popping in her face.
“While you were busy having your princess sleep, I was in the woods and in a smelly bar with a member of the pack who had my brother attacked.”
“WHAT?!” Lily gawked.
“Shhhh!!!l” Anna shushed. “I went with Uther. We met someone who will help set Jasmine up.”
“Why would you want to set her up?” Lily asked confused as she cleaned up after Anna.
“Do you want Jasmine here? Didn’t you want her around so that you could have my brother to yourself?!” Anna spat venomously.
Lily stuttered. “Yes… uhm.. yes, I did. But
“But Nothing! We are already too close to let this slide and get out of hand.” Anna said as she moved to where the bed was and began searching. “If my brother believes that Jasmine had a hand in the kidnapping, that she is the reason why he was almost killed, why all of It happened, then he would never forgive her.”
“Why would your brother believe that? Your brother trusts Jasmine.” Lily said.
“That’s why we have to make proof.” Anna stated.
“So using her handwriting is going to make him believe?” Lily asked confused.
“Wisdom is chasing you, but you are running faster.” Anna said in annoyance. Then she stopped and took a deep breath. “Explaining this to you is an absolute waste of time, but, look. Jasmine is currently with the rogue Alpha. I want to copy her handwriting and plant fake letters in her room between her and the rogue Alpha. I will steal our family heirlooms too and make proof that she intended on taking it. When Xaden mentions Alpha hunter, I’ll act shocked and tell him that I know the name. Because my brother has never told anyone who the rogue Alpha is. I’ll tell him that he had visited my old Pack before. And why would that be hard to believe? My false parents were terrible people so is it a surprise a rogue wolf was with them. Then I would tell Xaden that back when I lived in the pack Jasmine and the man had an affair.”
