Chapter 469
As soon as he had stepped out of the room, they all shook at the tremble of the slammed door.
No one said a word go a second and then Nanny Nia turned to Anna.
She marched up to her, her finger pointing directly at her. “What is wrong with you?! How could you even speak about Jasmine that way?”
“Like what?” Anna retorted rolling her eyes. “Did I tell a lie? Didn’t she run away from the pack in the fucking middle of the night? Heavily pregnant and selfishly not caring what happened? Am I wrong about that.”
“You know what I’m talking about you rotten spoiled girl!” Nanny Nia said enraged.
Anna snorted and waved her hand. “Oh please.”
“Jasmine left the pack, she was wrong about it and the most stupid thing she ever did, we all accept it. But she had good intentions! You made it seem like she ran off to be with some man or had ulterior motives.”
Anna pressed her fingers against her temple to ease the irritation she felt from hearing Nanny Nia’s irritating voice.
“You’re wrong. That’s not the most stupid thing she ever did. The most stupid thing Jasmine ever did was being alive. Coming to this pack. Even existing. And yes, Jasmine isn’t good for my brother. She is a whore. So I’ll rather have him believing she is a nuisance than ever thinking she is any good.” Anna spat casually.
“You’re a monster.” Nanny Nia gasped her face white with horror.
“But I’m not a whore.” Anna spat out.
Nanny Nia gasped
“Don’t call her that.” Erik responded annoyed. “And don’t say words like that. There is a child here.”
Anna looked down at the little boy standing beside Kire.
She had completely forgotten about it.
She whipped her hair to show she didn’t care.
Who was he anyway?
A miserable boy who had been in the bush and from all indications was Jamsine’s ally.
She could care less.
“Kire take Marro to the kitchen. Find some snacks.” Erik instructed and Kire nudged the anxious boy away from the room.
Before Kire left, he growled aggressively and snapped at Anna.
Anna was furious!
Erik was her mate and now because of Jasmine, Kire’s wolf who was supposed to be loyal to her was growling at her?
“At least Jasmine made an effort.” Fiona replied changing the air with her words.. “Jasmine in her condition tried to do something. She tried to find Xaden. But you. His very own blood sister, what did you do?”
Anna’s mouth went shut.
“Yes?” Fiona pushed further, her brunette brows creased. “Did you ever ask about him? He had been gone for such a long time did you care to know if he was fine? Did you even bother to-
“I care about my brother don’t ever tell me what you don’t know.” Anna said in rage.
There were tears now brewing behind her eyes.
She hated what Fiona was insinuating.
That she, Anna didn’t care about Xaden.
Xaden was her brother.
She had grown to adore him.
He was everything she had ever wanted.
“I love my brother.” Anna spat.
“You lovr your brother and yet, you didn’t care about him.” Fiona clasped her hands. “All you have done is cause confusion in the pack, torment Jasmine. Try to kill her-
“HOW DARE YOU LAY SUCH FILTHY ACCUSATIONS?!” Anna said burning.
Her wolf was furious.
But Fiona ignored the sharp warning in her tone of demand and kept on speaking. “If there is anyone who should have left to find Xaden in the forest it should have been you.”
Anna’s fists were tightened firmly by her side.
How dare they speak to her this way?
“The truth is that you don’t care about anyone, you don’t love anyone but yourself. There is a hole inside you Anna. All the terrible things you have done and still continue to do, will never close that gaping hole in your heart. You’re selfish. And whatever plans you have, whatever you do. I hope your brother sees through you. Jasmine may have made a stupid mistake. But she was brave and you would never be like her.”
Anna recoiled and then she felt all eyes looking at her.
They were all judging her.
Even Erik.
Their eyes feasted as she looked from one person to the other in a state of panic as though she were unclad.
She hid her pain and glared at them.
“This isn’t over.” And with that she stormed out of the room.
Once she was down the hallway, the tears were holding up by the corner of her eyes.
She rushed down the pathway towards her room.
She didn’t want anyone to see her crying and so she kept on racing.
Once she had gotten to her bedroom, she saw some girls knitting her new blanket.
“My lady.” The greeted upon her arrival.
“GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!” She screamed.
The girls jumped in fright and raced out of the room.
Anna screamed and flung a vase after them as they ran.
Her eyes were filled with tears now roaming down her cheek, ruining her make up.
She stood in front of the mirror as she wept, her head bent down over the cabinet.
When her eyes finally rose to look at herself, she saw how hideous she looked.
All because of Jasmine.
She felt herself go bitter, and her heat sour with hate.
She hated Jasmine more than she ever did now.
She wanted to kill her and that stupid bastard.
She wanted her out of her life for good and never to return.
She heard a steady knock at her door.
“GET AWAY!” She screamed not caring who it was.
The intruder didn’t leave, rather Anna heard the door open.
She picked up a vase on the table and hastily flung it at the door. “I SAID GET OUT.”
It was none other than her uncle Uther.
She scowled and turned away.
“I’m not in the mood.” She said.
“I understand.” uther nodded. “But I have a good preposition for you.”
“Not interested.” She said replied tartly still backing him.
“Not interested in finally getting rid of Jasmine?” He asked.
That caught her attention for she paused, and her veins crawled down her arms.
She turned around.
“I’m listening.”
