Lisa folded her arms once again and smiled. "That owl was the goddess Celine herself sent because how did I happen to just be around the clock tower and see a message owl coming in?"
She laughed.
So that was how she had managed to get her hands on the owl!
Jasmine thought to herself.
Jasmine had called for the owl the day she had been stabbed because she had wanted to send a message to her father that she was no longer interested in working for him or doing his bidding.
She had wondered where the owl was and now somehow it seemed the owl had answered to its regular call and gone to the old clock tower to look for her, but instead happened to have met Lisa instead.
"And then again, I thought about it and remembered that I sometimes see you go to the clock tower in the evenings," Lisa said. "That was when I knew it belonged to you. See, I told you from day one. To be careful with me now look at you. Everything has been revealed. You are going to be sentenced to death while we all watch, and I will have Alpha Xaden for myself. I was the one who brought it all to him. Revealed such disgusting secrets that you had kept."
It was then Fiona stepped. "And who told you that Xaden was going to make you "his"? I do not know but I am just wondering did he perhaps announce that he was going to make you your supposedly his?"
When Fiona said this, she used her fingers to make two quotation marks in ridicule.
The servants that had been trooping around Lisa and trying to gain favour from her whispered and shook their heads amongst themselves.
"But Lisa, you told us that he had said it there, and then he was going to make you his mistress." One of the girls said, revealing her lie.
"She said that?!" Fiona asked in awe. "Well, let me break it to you. Xaden made no such statement. In fact, Xaden did not even address the fact that it was Lisa who happened to have been the one who revealed it. I am just hearing that now."
"You said he had already made you his mistress." Another girl said quietly.
"Oh shut up you!" Lisa snapped at the girl.
Then her face became fueled with rage and she turned to face Fiona. "It does not matter whether he announced it or not. He will. Because what other way is he going to thank me who happened to be the one that saved his own life."
"He has not made any such announcement, so you are still very much a regular servant here. And Aurora is no longer alive, so you do not have an advantage over anyone." Fiona said. "In fact, I am the one with advantage over you now. I am sure that you all heard that I am
Not actually a servant. But I am the daughter of a pack leader. A Luna and I am a high breed. I will no longer be staying here. But I can assure you that as Xaden’s ward and technically his adopted sister? I have a very high advantage over all of you."
The girls all began to fear.
Lisa waved her hand off to dismiss her and her threats.
"It does not change anything because you, too, are in trouble. He sent you out of the throne room because you knew all about it, and you kept it from him. You are as much of a treacherous liar bastard as she is." Lisa sneered at Fiona.
Fiona gave her a heavy slap that sent her face turning to the left cheek.
They all gasped.
"Say one more thing about me or about her and you will face the full wrath of my wolf," Fiona said, and she growled at Lisa.
Lisa jumped in fear and ran out of the room like a dog with its tail in between its legs.
"That goes for all of you, too," Fiona said.
The girls went back to minding their business very quickly.
Then Jasmine turned back to Fiona with a smile.
"I really loved what you did to her," Jasmine said. "She is so scared of you now."
"She had better be," Fiona said as they went to Jasmine’s bed.
"So you are leaving huh?" Fiona asked.
"I do not know if I will return back. Or if you will see me again. I might be dead." Jasmine said after nodding.
"Xaden will not kill you," Fiona said. "He is broken but I know that he will not kill you."
"Well, he intends to find his sister," Jasmine said with a weak shrug.
"Yes! That! Does he really have a sister?! You did not tell me this." Fiona said snapping back once she had been reminded.
"I did not even know myself." Jasmine said with a shrug. "I am the one who gets treated the worst in the entire pack. Even slaves taken from enemy packs are treated better than I am. If he had his sister living with us in that pack then she should be treated worse than even me. I mean, Bale took her away, and he would have hated her from the start."
Fiona sighed. "Unless. Are you his sister?!"
"Of course not!" Jasmine said quickly. "I heard she had blonde hair when she was younger. I have red and then I was already walking when the attack happened. And if that were true that would mean that I...."
Jasmine could not even finish she shivered.
"It would mean you have been sleeping with your brother this entire time," Fiona said with sarcasm.
Then, at that moment, the door was opened, and they all came alert.
Two very muscular guards stepped in and stood at the door.
And with dread, Jasmine knew that it was time for her to be taken away.
