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 the blood stained cloth that he had hidden.
Thank the gods that she had not found it before he came in.
He would have discovered it and she doubted that she would have even made it anywhere before he caught her.
And for the first time in her life, she was happy to be an unshifted, because if she wasn’t, he would have sniffed her scent the moment he stepped in.
But unshifted had no scents.
She was going to use this to her advantage.
She took out the blade from her bag and caught through the cloth to get a piece of it.
She would use it as leverage to find Xaden.
She quickly returned it to its place once she was done and then hurried to where Kire was waiting.
Kire was at his full length, way taller than her and probably 10 feet tall.
He went down on his belly indicating for her to sit on him.
She was glad to have him with her especially since she had had her incident with the horse.
She was terrified of them and had been battling on how she was going to even go.
She gently climbed on his back and then eased her fingers into his thick fur.
Kire stood at his full height and then jumped off into the dark.
Jasmine felt a presence, like someone was looking down at her.
Someone was watching.
She very gently turned around and didn’t see anyone.
And yet she still felt like someone was watching her.
And so she looked up and was taken aback when she saw Anna was looking down at her from the balcony of her bedroom on the fifth floor.
She froze instantly and they both made eye contact.
Jasmine’s heart began to race.
Anna hated her, she knew.
Was she going to expose her now?
Jasmine expected her any minute from now to scream and inform everyone in the pack.
Jasmine closed her eyes in terror waiting for for it.
But then nothing came .
She gently opened her eyes and looked back up.
Only to see that Anna had turned her face away and was looking the opposite direction.
Jasmine was stunned.
Anna ignored her as if she hadn’t seen her, and yet still standing at the balcony, she looked the other side.
Jasmine decided not to put too much thought into it and gently patted Kire’s fur.
The huge wolf turned away and headed into the dark of the night.
He was able to bypass the guards until they were out of the pack
It was then and only then Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled out the blood stained cloth from her bag and put it to Kire’s nose.
But she also wanted Jasmine gone from the pack.
What better than to let the pregnant conniving bitch into the woods without any protection?
If the goddess was on her side, Jasmine just might die and she would finally get rid of her without having to do anything. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
She hoped she and the child died in the forest.
And so she turned her face away.
It was then after a few minutes she turned back and saw that Jasmine was fine as though she had never been there in the first place.
She hoped that no one found out until she was way gone.

When it was almost dawn, Nanny Nia turned in her sleep and felt her throat parched.
She slowly woke up from her slumber and rose to her feet to go get some water.
There was water already on the tea table in the bedroom.
She fetched some and poured in a cup before drinking to her satisfaction.
Move she was done, she groggily went back to bed, her eyes filled with sleep.
She checked on Jasmine and saw she was still well asleep with the blanket over.
Nanny Nia sleepily reached out to be sure she was fine and was stunned when she felt a pillow.
Her eyes seemed to become clearer in confusion and then she opened the blanket revealing piles of pillows.
But no Jasmine.
The sleep instantly evaporated from her eyes and she began flinging blankets and pillows to be sure she was seeing clearly.
But Jasmine wasn’t there, she looked down on the floor at it hit her Kire too wasn’t there.
Nanny Nia screamed in terrror.
