Chapter 52
Lisa was so furious.
She had just been outright humiliated by that Alpha.
Never had this happened to her before.
No one had ever turned her down when she offered herself to him and saw that he had called for Jasmine.
That ugly girl who was so wretched and fat.
How did he even know her?
He had called her by her name.
This was very suspicious.
She was going to have to tell Aurora.
She stayed by the door and decided to overhear the gossip.
Mya was looking at her.
“Why are you doing that?” Mya asked. “It’s a crime to peek at your rank.”
Lisa gave Mya a very sharp glare.
“And how is that your business misses goody two shoes? Are you going to report me?” Lisa asked. “I’m Aurora’s favorite, and you don’t want to know what she would do to you.”
Mya turned away, and Lisa scoffed.
“Good riddance.” Then she returned to putting her eye in the keyhole and watching them.
She couldn’t hear much.
But she saw him talking to her, and she seemed scared.
The words came but went with the wind, and she could barely pick them up.
“Rejected me.” She managed to hear him say. “Tell Xaden.”
She gasped.
Tell Xaden what?
She watched as Jasmine grabbed him and seemed to be begging.
It was like he had something against her, and he was holding her ransom.
Then he said something she didn’t hear clearly, and then she saw her walk towards him and kiss him.
Lisa gasped and closed her mouth in shock.
She watched as Alpha Alexander rummaged his hands over her body as he kissed her.
He held on to her body, and then it seemed like they were engulfed in each other.
She couldn’t believe it.
Jasmine was having an affair with Alpha Alexander.
If Alpha Xaden found out she was having an affair with Alpha Alexander, imagine what he would do.
Then she smiled and quickly hurried away from the door.
She ran up the stairs to where she knew she would find Aurora.
Aurora was giving instructions on the arrangements of the packs and their movements down the hall when she saw her.
“My lady.” She said it quickly. “Greetings to you. I have news for you.”
Aurora’s brows piqued.
“Private news,” Lisa added.
Aurora sighed and waved off the servants who were waiting for her instructions.
Then she turned to Lisa.
“Yes?” Aurora said.
“When we were preparing the rooms for Alpha Alexander, he called Jasmine by her name,” Lisa said.
Aurora rolled her eyes. “And how is that supposed to be any relevant information to me? He obviously knows her because his brother was her mate.”
Lisa shook her head. “That wasn’t all he did. He sent us out, and then I peeked in and saw them kissing.”
Aurora’s eyes widened. “When did this happen?”
“A few minutes ago. I just left.” Lisa said. “And that’s not all. I think he has something against her. Something that only the both of them know because he said he was going to tell Alpha Xaden, and she stopped him.”
She now had Aurora’s interests.
Aurora turned around and paced the halls.
“You say she was with Alexander, and you’re 100 percent sure?” She asked her.
Lisa nodded. “I’ve never been so sure, my lady. When I left, he was undressing her, and I believe they were about to have sex. She was so happy to see him.”
Aurora smiled to herself.
“I’ve already had people investigating Jasmine,” Aurora said. “But with this tip, you’ve given me, we wouldn’t even need to go so far.”
She turned to Lisa and said, “You’re proving yourself useful to me. Put an eye on Jasmine for now.”
Lisa’s mouth dropped. “Shouldn’t we report to Alpha Xaden? He would kill her if he found out that she was sleeping with Alpha Alex since she was his slave.”
But Aurora was brilliant, and she knew it wouldn’t be so easy.
Moreover, Xaden seemed to be different lately.
She couldn’t just tell him that Jasmine was sleeping with Alex. She needed hard proof—enough to get rid of the girl for good.
“I’ve made my decision.” She informed. “We are going to have to keep an eye on her for now. I’ll handle Alex myself. And you better don’t let anyone know what you know.”
Lisa nodded. “I wouldn’t.”
“Good.” Aurora nodded. “You’re dismissed.”
Lisa bowed and left Aurora in a stream of thoughts.
JASMINE’S POV
There was no way Jasmine was going to attempt to kill Xaden.
This was too much for her.
“If you don’t kill him,” He said. “The fate you will face will be much crueler than what you have. It seems here you are treated better than back in your pack.”
He sized her up. “Even your large breasts are fuller. Is it because of the food you now eat or the fact that Xaden and his men toss you around?”
His words were callous, but she didn’t say a word.
“Runoff.” He said. “And you will tell no one of what we’ve spoken of. When the time is right, I’ll call for you to kill him.”
After that, Jasmine didn’t waste a second; she fled out of the room.
Once she was out and down the hall, she panted so heavily.
What had she gotten herself into?
She couldn’t bring herself to kill Xaden.
He would kill her before she even attempted to.
What was she going to do?
She closed her eyes and practiced some breathing exercises, then decided she would go on with her chores and try her best not to think of what had occurred.
When she finally got to her room, she would think of something.
She adjusted her dress and turned the sharp corner, bumping right into someone.
She looked up at the woman before her.
Before she could even apologize, the older woman looked at her startled and said. “Scarlett?”
