Chapter 443 Through the forest, Jasmine clung on Kire’s back as they rode through. He kept on going through thick woods and she couldn’t deny the fact that she was beyond words terrified. Her heart raced in fear and for a split second she realized what she had done was
Chapter 442 Jasmine was disgusted. He didn’t even care what happened to his nephew. She knew he was no good but this was a stretch. Even for him. Once she was sure they had left she came out of her hiding place and snooped through his desk and pulled out
Chapter 441 Through the entire night, Jasmine could hardly sleep. Xaden. Seeing the blood stained cloth that the guards had brought had made her sick instantly. She had had a slight panic attack and was scared that he was dead. But the scent wasn’t his and that had eased the
Chapter 440 The fire in the council chamber crackled low, casting long, flickering shadows across the stone walls. It was late, too late for a formal meeting, but Uther hadn’t summoned them for official business. The three older guards who sat around the table had once served Xaden’s father. They
Chapter 439 The fire crackled softly in the hearth, but Jasmine barely felt its warmth. She sat at the long dining table, surrounded by murmurs and clinking silverware, but her focus was a thousand miles away. Her hand rested on her stomach, thumb brushing a slow circle over the curve.
Chapter 438 The door had barely clicked shut before Nanny Nia released a low, irritated growl from deep in her throat. “She hates you,” Nia muttered as she paced the edge of the room. “And I don’t care how sweet she tries to sound, or how often she wears lace
Chapter 437 Sunlight spilled through the velvet curtains of Anna’s chamber, gilding the floor with golden light that didn’t match the unease in her chest. She hadn’t slept. Not a moment of peace. She’d spent the hours between midnight and dawn staring at the canopy above her bed, counting heartbeats
Chapter 436 “He deserves more than hanging in a barn like a warning sign.” Erik’s voice was hard, but something in it trembled. “And we can’t let anyone else find him. Not yet.” She stepped forward, her expression confused. “Erik, if we don’t say anything, if we hide him, aren’t
Chapter 435 The door slammed shut behind Lily as she burst into Anna’s chamber, her breath coming in shallow, frantic gasps. Her hair was loose, cheeks flushed red, and her eyes wild with something between disbelief and fear. Anna, who had been reclined on a chaise with a cup of
Chapter 434 Erik froze. For a moment, it felt like the world narrowed into that one image, Rudy’s lifeless body, swaying gently from the rafter like a hanging toy. The rope hung and the atmosphere was stagnant with the small of deaths Fiona gasped behind him. “Gods Erik took a
Chapter 433 Jasmine stirred, waking to the soft creak of the window as the breeze swept in. Her body ached, her ribs sore and her wrists tender. But the pain in her chest, an invisible bruise of fear and confusion, was worse. As she slept, she had flashes of the
Chapter 432 Nanny Nia wanted to tell her the baby was fine, but she didn’t know if it was true. She looked up to Loren who seemed to not know either. Jasmine sensed the fact that they didn’t know the answer to her question and she began to panic. “My
Chapter 431 Ned handed her the reins of the horse and then Eli, the omega who frequently escorted her on her horse ride, came towards them as he was on his own horse. “Where is Xaden?” Loren asked amidst the small crowd. If there was one person who didn’t refer
Chapter 430 The next day, Jasmine was in the astronomy room reading through Xaden’s mother’s journals and the new book she had found. From what she could read, his mother and her uncle had begun very close and inseparable. In some notes, she discussed their progress on what they had
Chapter 429 “Marro!” His mother snapped bringing his attention back to the table. Marro sulked as he pushed around his plate. His mother shook her head. “I don’t know what’s wrong with him.” She said aloud. “If you don’t want to eat dork I’ll have your food.” Fabian said punching
Chapter 428 “What’s your name?” he asked, voice softer. “Marro,” the boy said with a small smile. “Marro Xaden rasped, memorizing it. “You’re braver than most grown wolves I know.” Marro beamed. Xaden swallowed the last of the water and reached down to his wrist. With effort, he tugged free
Chapter 427 “There is our answer.” Nanny Nia said. Erik’s hand slowly clenched into a fist atop the scroll he’d been reading. “So you believe Lily was the one who tampered with the tea?” “I don’t know for sure,” Nanny Nia replied, her voice low but firm. “But Kire’s reaction
Chapter 426 Nanny Nia nodded. She said a thanks to the cook and turned around to leave the kitchen. She was already at the door when the Cook’s voice stopped her. “Why are you asking all these questions?” He asked. Nia turned back to face him. What was the point
Chapter 425 “Why would you involve Uther in any of this?” Lily asked as she grabbed Anna by her the front bodice of her dress. “He is loyal to Xaden. He could tell Xaden and then that would be the end.” Anna pried Lily’s hands free from her grip. “Take
Chapter 424 Anna’s chest rose and fell rapidly as the emotions flooded her all at once, shame, rage, jealousy, and a strange, icy fear. Her wolf was clawing beneath her skin, snarling, demanding answers, vengeance, blood. Blood for the one who now wanted to claim her own mate. How dare
