AURORA’S POV
Aurora was in her bedroom styling her hair while her servants brought in her bath filled with water.
She was in a very, very bad mood.
Ever since that bitch had come into their pack, she had caused absolutely nothing but trouble!
Absolutely nothing!
Imagine the audacity of her to even face her and talk back at her.
It infuriated her, and to make matters worse, she had bonded with Xaden.
Her Xaden.
Something she had never gotten to do herself.
Xaden had said clearly that he would never find a mate, marry, or be bonded.
But he had done two of those so far!
She knew that according to their laws, no wolf, Alpha or not, was allowed to take a woman away from an enemy’s pack unless he had killed and taken place as the Alpha.
Xaden had been unable to kill Bale because of the accord, so even though he had defeated him in battle, he could not claim Jasmine.
Hence, marriage was the only reason he could take her away from her family.
Aurora knew all these, but she couldn’t imagine them!
But it was a bond.
The only way he could break it was if Jasmine died.
And she had tried to kill that girl once, but it had failed.
Why was Erik scheming against her and even saving that bitch?
Didn’t her father kill his mate and unborn child?
Aurora hated this.
And every plan she made seemed to bring Xaden and Jasmine closer together.
She had never even slept in Xaden’s bed before.
He only fucked her, and she was to leave.
No one had slept in his bed before, but when she found that bitch half-naked and covered in his sheets, she instantly lost her mind.
She had made the farm instructor give her an impossible task, and yet she had overcome that.
How did a spoilt brat know how to clear a farm or even how it so well for planting?!
It was beyond her!
She had told Liza, one of the servant girls who was in the same bedroom, to make her life miserable.
Hopefully, she will accomplish that.
She sighed as she took off her robe and sat in the water.
It was so satisfying.
She gave a sharp glare at the girls.
"What are you waiting for?!" She barked. "Scrub my back!"
The girls got up in fear and hurried to her.
Aurora gave a snort and rolled her eyes.
"Imbeciles," she said.
The girls cleaned her body, and she closed her eyes to rest as they did her bidding.
She hadn’t worked all this way for nothing.
The truth was that Bale had come into her pack and butchered her entire family.
She hadn’t been an Alpha’s daughter, but her father was the gamma of the pack.
She had survived, but absolutely no one from the Alpha’s family had.
Especially his daughters.
There were only a few survivors from her pack, and she had lived with bitterness and hate.
When she met Xaden, there was raw lust and passion.
It was like no one understood him, as she understood him.
He was like no man she had ever met, and he could fuck so well.
He had taken her up, and she had fought by his side.
But he had told her he would never make her anything more than she already was.
It was painful.
She was in love with him; she knew.
And it was so difficult to pretend that she didn’t desire more than just fucking.
There was a knock at her door, interrupting her stream of thoughts.
Then, she managed to calm herself down.
No, she just needed to think things through.
"Where did you say she went?" Aurora demanded.
"She is now staying in the healer’s quarters." The girl said,.
Aurora took a deep breath.
At least she wasn’t sleeping in Xaden’s room. She would never have been able to do that.
"Can I say something, my lady?" Liza said.
Aurora eyed the girl and wanted to tell her to go to hell, but she eventually said. "Speak."
"She had injuries on her back," Lisa said. "If she is Alpha Bale’s daughter, shouldn’t she be perfect? Spotless? I hate her. I really do. After what he did to my family, I hate her. It just surprises me. People were saying that she did her work very well. It’s not normal. Even the normal servants adjusted to the jobs slowly, but she is doing it all so well within a day."
Aurora started to snap. She already knew that.
"SO WHAT DO I DO WITH THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION?
And then she froze.
It was true.
It was unusual. Even she couldn’t do such work.
She had heard rumors that she was most likely taken prisoner by an enemy pack when she was young, but the story was suspicious.
She rose to her feet, and Liza quickly brought her a towel and wrapped it around her.
Aurora thought to herself as she paced the room.
What if? What if Jasmine was not Alpha Bale’s daughter?
What if Xaden had been fooled?
If Xaden found out that the girl had lied to him, then he would kill her.
No one was allowed to deceive an Alpha.
It was a crime with serious consequences.
In rare cases, the person could be banished or killed.
She liked the latter.
Aurora gave a wicked smile.
"You’ve given me an idea."
