Chapter 483 Jasmine fingered the seams of her dress AA she sat on her bed and looked out through her window. She had tried breaking it, but the windows were heavily fortified. Even if she ever did succeed, she would have to be able to break through the iron bars.
Chapter 482 Xaden sat down in his court room, all alone. He had been in there for over five hours since the Anna’s allegations that lead to Jasmine’s discovery. He was dazed and his emotions were in chaos. How could she do this? None of it made any sense and
Chapter 481 The room stood still for a breathless moment. There had been a dead silence. “How can you say such a thing?!” Nanny Nia gasped in horror. Anna smirked. A smirk that only she and Nanny Nia understood. And then Nanny Nia understood what Anna had meant the previous
Chapter 480 The scent of roasted meats and sweetbread hung in the air of the breakfast hall. A gentle hum of quiet conversation echoed between the high wooden beams as the morning sun bled lazily through the stained-glass windows. Xaden sat at the head of the table, a faint shadow
Chapter 479 Anna shut the door of her bedroom with a soft click, her face flushed with excitement and the thrill of control. Lily followed her in, looking dazed and winded after the long climb from Jasmine’s room. The page of Jasmine’s handwriting was now tucked safely into Anna’s vanity
Chapter 478 Lily’s mouth dropped open at the revelation. “My God.” Lily said in surprise. “My brother believes me.” Anna stated matter of fact. “Why would I have any reason to lie against Jasmine. And I am his blood. His sweet and innocent little sister can never do any wrong
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
Chapter 476 Once Uther and Anna had returned back home discreetly, Anna could then Findlay breathe. She had been tended all through their endeavors. What if somehow she had been caught. What would she tell her brother? But this was Jasmine she was talking about. She needed to get rid
Chapter 475 The knock came again. She didn’t answer it. Jasmine sat on the edge of the bed, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her gaze sharp and unmoving on the door. She had no interest in playing dress-up for a monster. She didn’t care how fine the silverware was
Chapter 474 The moon hung high and distant, veiled behind tattered clouds that glided like ghosts across the sky. Anna pulled the dark cloak tighter around her shoulders as she followed Uther through the dense forest trail. The path was old—unused and nearly forgotten—overgrown with thorns and heavy with damp
Chapter 473 Anna’s room was dark, lit only by the dim flicker of candlelight. The soft orange glow danced against the carved walls, casting long shadows that swayed like ghosts. Her reflection in the mirror was smeared and exhausted—eyeliner streaked like bruises, cheeks flushed with the sting of humiliation. The
Chapter 472 The corridor outside Alpha Hunter’s study was still thick with silence when Rygar returned. His boots thudded against the stone floor as he approached. Inside, Hunter stood at the window, gazing down at the training fields below, his hands behind his back, posture straight as a spear. “She
Chapter 471 The room was cold, as always. The kind of cold that curled into the bones, the kind that crept up the spine and whispered that this was not home — and never would be. She had been here for over two weeks now and she barely hung on
Chapter 470 The air was thick with fury as Xaden stormed out of his room, the echo of the slammed door still reverberating through the hallway. His chest heaved with pain—physical and emotional—and his fists were clenched so tight his knuckles cracked. He didn’t get far before a voice called
Chapter 469 As soon as he had stepped out of the room, they all shook at the tremble of the slammed door. No one said a word go a second and then Nanny Nia turned to Anna. She marched up to her, her finger pointing directly at her. “What is
Chapter 468 “I leave this pack.” Xaden said in anger. “Not for a long time. And everything falls to pieces? You let Jasmine escape? How did she even manage to make it out of the pack? With the security. So now anyone can come in?” “Kire.” Erik explained. “He took
Chapter 467 Xaden stared at Anna. And then… at each one of them. His eyes swept over Nanny Nia, who wouldn’t meet his gaze. She simply stood with her fists tightened by her side and glaring at Anna as though she was going to strangle her in any split second.
Chapter 466 There was an eerie silence after Xaden’s question was sharp enough to slice through bone. Where is Jasmine? No one spoke. No one moved. The air shifted, thick with something unspoken. Erik averted his gaze. Nanny Nia’s fingers wrung themselves in front of her. Even Loren, usually blunt
Chapter 465 Xaden very slowly regained consciousness and his eyes gently fluttered open. He felt his entire body ache like hell. It was as thing he had been stabbed a thousand times and left to be fed to a group of vultures. He groaned and then suddenly his consciousness hit
Chapter 464 A FEW HOURS BEFORE The wind outside Alpha Hunter’s stronghold had stilled, the night sinking into a graveyard silence. Shadows coiled around the iron-stone towers like serpents, and even the wolves who usually patrolled the grounds walked with unease, their instincts whispering of something… wrong. In the highest
