Xaden sat down in his court room, all alone.
He had been in there for over five hours since the Anna’s allegations that lead to Jasmine’s discovery.
He was dazed and his emotions were in chaos.
How could she do this?
None of it made any sense and yet there was the clear evidence that it.
That he had been taken for a fool this entire time, that Jasmine had played her cards against him and won.
He massaged his eyes and took in a deep breath.
And the fucking child she carried around.
He knew it! He couldn’t have a child.
That was the only part that made much sense to him now .
He was never going to be able to conceive a child and yet somehow Jasmine had paraded herself, being supposedly pregnant.
He imagined her in the arms of the monster who had almost killed him and then he clenched the glass in his hand so much that it shattered.
He flung the remaining glass from his hand in rage.
That was why he didn’t have a heart.
So that he never had to deal with such trickery.
And yet she had succeeded.
Plain and stupid Jasmine had infiltrated his pack and deceived him.
Almost killed him.
What had she wanted?
To have the pack for herself and her lover?
So that they could live in pure bliss Ashik his body and all the others rotted somewhere.
Or perhaps that they could fuck while making him watch.
Stupid bitch, he swore under his breath.
There was a knock at the door, but he didn’t seem to have even heard it.
It was opened and Erik emerged.
He walked up to him with some papers.
"Sweet goddess Xaden." Erik gawked. "You’re bleeding."
Xaden frowned confused at what Erik was saying at first until he looked down and saw that truth be told, his hands were bleeding.
"It’s fine." Xaden mumbled waving it off.
He was still recovering so it was difficult for his body to heal as quickly as it usually did.
"What do you have for me?" He requested.
Erik sighed seeming uncomfortable to deliver the news.
"Xaden I...." Erik paused unable to piece the words together.
"Is it word from the moonlight pack?" Xaden asked.
Erik swallowed and then nodded. "Yes.... But Xaden I don’t know if...
Xaden snatched the paper right out of Erik’s hands as he was too annoyed with his inconsistency and his eyes trailed through the paper.
As Xaden read through the content of the letter the story unfolded and as if reading alongside with him, Erik began to speak.
"It was a collation of the words of many members in the pack." Erik said. "They all attested to the fact that Hunter indeed visited the pack frequently. They say she was friendly with him, yes, but they never stated explicitly that she had an affair with the man."
Xaden’s flung the paper on the desk and leaned back in his chair to massage his temple with his bloodied hand.
"Have you sent for Marie?" Xaden asked
"We have, about four hours ago, but she turned the troops back and said that she wasn’t taking in any visitors." Erik stated.
"Send them back again. Drag her in, if need be." Xaden said. "But make sure she gets here."
