Chapter 569
AUBURN’S POV
I had woken up early that morning and been ready to achieve my next set of goals.
Seduce Alpha Xaden and make him mine.
My life has been luxury from the moment I had been welcomed as the grand daughter of the Late Princess Scarlett.
The King embraced and welcomed me as his grand daughter in particular because I knew that he liked how I behaved.
I was delicate and Candy had raised me well enough on how to be proper.
It fit everything.
My perfectly red hair blended with the other royals and I was treated like one.
It was a dream.
Except the moment I had laid eyes with that hideous Jasmine, I didn’t need to be told once.
Her fiery red hair and the aura that waves along with her.
I knew who she was.
She was the girl I was impersonating.
For a split second, I had assumed everyone would realize who she was and I would be butted out of the pack.
But that didn’t happen.
In fact the King didn’t seem to like her one bit.
No one did
It was the Queen who was all over her.
I knew that I had to be smart and just as Cheery had said, I had to play my best cards
Despite being a dirty slave, she was a threat and I knew better than to just ignore her.
But it baffled me that the next heir to the throne was an unshifted dirty wolf.
Even she who was a prostitute had shifted to a beautiful brown wolf.
Alpha Xaden was my catch, that was why when I had asked the servants where my grand mother was, I was told she was at Alpha Xaden’s bedroom.
Dressed in a beautiful red dress that highlighted my breasts and matched with my fake red hair, I felt that now was the time to introduce myself to him.
But on getting to the bedroom, to my utmost horror, none other than Jasmine was inside chatting with my grand mother.
I bit my lip in fury.
What was she doing here?
“I thought you came to see Alpha Xaden.” Auburn asked after ignoring Jasmine’s greeting.
“Oh Jasmine had to spend a night in his bedroom.” Rose said and i felt my veins pulsate. “It was her I actually came to see not Xaden.”
Spend a night in his room?!
I had been told that Jasmine had been his pet slave but it was over.
At least that was what she had heard.
Especially after Jasmine had lost his baby.
So why the fuck was this infidel sleeping in his bedroom.
Jealously began to spill through my veins and corrupt her entire system.
I turned to look at a genuinely smiling Jasmine and it disgusted me even further.
Why was the girl always smiling?
And the worst part was that something told Auburn it was genuine.
Even though I had been rude to her the girl was still pleasant to me.
It only annoyed me further.
“Ahhh I see.” I managed with the fakest of all smiles on her face.
But I didn’t see.
I wanted to know why she was here.
What had happened.
If they had slept together.
Was Alpha Xaden still inside the bedroom?
I wanted to know everything.
And then I noticed Jasmine watching her neck and the valley in between her breasts.
I scowled.
Jasmine’s dress didn’t purposely reveal her breasts like mine and yet they looked even better than mine even.
“What’s wrong?” Rose asked.
Jasmine shook her head with a weak smile as she still itched her neck. “Nothing too serious. My necklace has been hurting for a while now.”
At that moment a servant came in and drew away the Queen’s attention by speaking on the arrangements for my welcome ceremony.
At that moment I watched as Jasmine slowly pulled at the necklace and revealed an emerald pendant.
I gasped in horror.
This was the exact necklace on my chest and I knew instantly what it was.
The necklace that Cherry had said had gone missing with Princess Scarlett.
It was on Jasmine’s breasts and I now knew for sure that she was truly the Queen’s grand daughter.
I quickly caught her arm and shifted her aside to prevent Queen Rose from noticing.
Jasmine looked confused. “Why are you dragging my arm that way?”
“Shhh.” I warned her and looked quickly to see if Queen Rose had seen.
But she was still deep in discussion with the servant.
“Revealing a jeweled pendant in the royal family is treason and can be punished by death.” I said to her the quickest excuse coming to my mind.
“What?” Jasmine said in disbelief.
I narrowed my eyes.
“Your majesty.” She added quickly.
“It’s a big offense especially if you are a slave.” I said wisely. “You are aren’t you?”
Jasmine’s face fell and she chewed on her bottom lip. “Yes I am.”
I swallowed in satisfaction knowing that I now had the girl cornered.
I made sharp turns to look at my grand mother deep in conversation before I continued. “It’s treason. You should hide it immediately. Or you could get my grand daughter in trouble if she tries to cover a law for you. Especially after everything she has done for you.”
I saw how she was taking it and knew that she believed.
“You’re right. I had no idea no intentions.” She expressed apologetically. “It just hurts.
It sort of burns ever since I’ve been here.”
“Does that usually happen?” I asked curiously.
She innocently shook her head. “No it doesn’t. This is the first time.”
Knowing that I had her under my skin I whispered sharply. “Then if that’s the case don’t wear it anymore until you leave.”
Jasmine looked skeptical.
“What?!” I snapped at her.
“It was a gift from my mother. I’ve only taken it off once in my life.” Jasmine informed me.
Then I remembered what Cherry had said.
Taking off the pendant had consequences.
At that moment Queen Rose said walking to us. “So sorry I delayed you.”
