Jasmine tried to go around the man but then she bumped into another guard and then she took a step back.
She looked behind and saw that there were other guards approaching.
She turned to her left and right.
The same and then she knew she was trapped.
Her entire being trembled.
A man much smaller than the others but tall nonetheless approached her.
He had an ugly scar oh his face.
And before he was even inches away from her, she could perceive Xaden’s scent on him.
He had come in contact with Xaden
She gritted her teeth and tried her best to compose herself.
He shined his brown teeth, walked up to her before cupping her jaw with his hand and forcing her to look up at him.
"Hello pretty." He said eyeing her and then gently using his finger to trail her neckline.
Jasmine tried to drag her face away but he caught her back and dug his nails inside her jaw.
She tried to suppress the pain.
"What a fine and feisty thing." He salivated. "You’re a new face here. Haven’t seen you before."
Jasmine said nothing in response.
He pushed her face away.
Then he turned to the woman Jasmine had been discussing with.
He pointed a knife at her. "Have you seen her other than here before?"
The woman rose her hands up and hastily shook her head.
He turned to see a man standing in his stall.
"Have you seen her before?" He asked, now pointing his dagger at the man.
The man shook his head in terror.
"There you see, no one has seen you before." The terrible said now looking back at Jasmine.
"I’m from the West Bank pack." Jasmine said. "I’m traveling down to see my mother in the next pack."
"A beauty like you? Simply traveling? On your own?" He asked. "I find that hard to believe."
"Well you better do." She said. "I have no reason to lie."
"Of course you don’t." He smiled. "And yet unfortunately, I don’t believe you. I’ll like a piece of you. It isn’t right for such a beautiful woman like you to be traveling alone."
And then he put his finger through her fire curls and twirled it in between his fingers.
"Such beauty." He whispered.
She swallowed hard and in disgust.
His hands were about to touch her bosom when she heard footsteps.
The gathering crowd departed and about Five men appeared.
"Leviathan." A young man with brown hair said distracting the ugly man before me who I now knew as Leviathan.
"Go away I’m busy." Leviathan said refusing to take his eyes off me.
"Let her go Leviathan." The man said once he stopped short. "Alpha Hunter wants to see her."
Jasmine felt her heart stop.
Alpha hunter wanted to see her? Why?
"And you don’t want to answer to him personally. You know what he can do to you for disobeying." The man said folding his arms.
Leviathan pulled a frown and then withdrew.
