Lily’s mouth dropped open at the revelation.
"My God." Lily said in surprise.
"My brother believes me." Anna stated matter of fact. "Why would I have any reason to lie against Jasmine. And I am his blood. His sweet and innocent little sister can never do any wrong in his eyes. And with the evidence present before him, he would have no choice but to believe it."
"What if he confirms from people who still live in the moonlight pack? Your previous pack?" Lily asked.
Anna waved her hand dismissively.
"Don’t worry, I have that sorted out too. The main thing here is that my brother would hate Jasmine. An affair? Maybe the rogue Alpha is even the father of her child."
"But he isn’t." Lily said.
Anna scowled. "Of course not. But it’s a set up. We have to have many advantages over her. My brother would never want to see her again. And just like that? Poor! Jasmine is gone from this our lives. Gone for good."
Lily’s loud was wide open. "My Goddess, Anna that’s terrible brilliant."
Anna smiled wickedly. "I know. Now we need to find those papers so that I can copy her handwriting word for word."
They went back down to searching through.
"But isn’t Jasmine an illiterate? I thought nanny Nia was teaching her how to dea and write?" Lily asked as she pulled through the bedside cabinet. "And wouldn’t thag mean that she could never have written or read any of the letters?"
"Yes, but I’ll lie. I’ll say that she always knew how to read and write. She was always pretending. It’s my word against hers. Against the daughter of My brother’s most hated enemy. Who is he going to believe? Me or her? Plus which daughter of an Alpha wasn’t formally educated." Anna stated
Lily nodded as they continued to search through.
"I can’t find anything." Anna complained. "That stupid Nanny of hers would be here any minute from now."
Lily leaned against the hard wall.
They had been searching for almost an hour and their time was about to run up .
"If I don’t find those handwritings that she used to learn with the stupid nanny then I would never be able to prove this!" A frustrated Anna said.
Lily sighed and got up to research another cabinet when a small gold ornament thag had been on the table fell.
It rolled down past the wardrobe then hit a soft creak.
Lily got up to pick it up and when she did, she looked up at what seemed like a door.
She frowned and then tugged at it.
It didn’t budge.
"Lily what the hell are you doing there?" An irritated Anna asked.
She looked around and found a small knob.
She held it and pulled it back.
A door gently opened.
"Anna I think you should come see this." Lily called out to her.
Anna groaned and then got up to her feet.
She gasped.
"A secret door?" Anna said.
There were beautiful steps went spiral and seemed to be brand new.
Like they had just recently been renovated.
"Let’s check what’s up there." Lily said.
Together both young women went up the stairs and then soon they were in a large room with windows and different objects.
It was beautiful.
Anna gasped.
"This is beautiful." Lily said.
Anna looked around and Lily went to peek at the maps.
