Chapter 387
As Xaden and Erik spoke, Lisa was behind a wall overhearing their discussion.
She took in everything she heard and once the men had left, she popped her head out of her hiding place to peek.
She looked left and right to be sure that there was no one and hurried out of her hiding place.
Then she tip toed to the large door and very gently opened it.
True to what Alpha Xaden had said, Jasmin was sound asleep.
She closed it shut and went on her way.
Lisa was blessed to always know where gossip was.
If it was gossip, she was at the spot.
She hurried off to Anna’s room and opened the door.
“Cant you knock?” Anna hissed irritated.
Lisa didn’t like Anna.
Not one bit.
But since Aurora had died, she was her best bet to achieving her goals and schemes.
Anna was lazy, dirty and selfish.
She had never met any she wolf as dreadful as she was!
Lisa didn’t understand why Alpha Xaden couldn’t see how horrible his sister was.
But Lisa had to pretend and maintain appearances.
If Anna knew that she couldn’t bare her, or how she truly felt about her, then she could kiss her dreams goodbye.
“My apologies your grace.” Lisa apologized as she curtseyed.
Anna scowled and then turned back to her mirror as she tried on new jewelry .
“You can come in.” Anna said. “You might be useful in helping me choose new jewelry for my trip to the Royal Pack.”
Lisa came towards the mirror and stood behind Anna .
“I have news.” Lisa said and Anna crossed her brows. “Bad news.”
“What is it?” Anna asked. “Well get on with it. Tell me.”
“I don’t think your brother intends on sending Jamsine away after the birth of the child.” Lisa said
Anna rolled her eyes and returned back to her mirror. “Is that what has you so worried? Don’t worry my brother has given Lily his word already. They would have their mating ceremony and she would take the child.”
“That’s not what I heard him telling Erik outside your late mother’s bedroom door just now.” Lisa emphasized.
That caught Anna’s attention and she looked sharply at her. “What did you hear him say.”
Lisa sighed. “He doesn’t want to take the child away anymore. He wants to keep her after the birth and I believe he has more intentions for her in the pack.”
“That’s not possible.” Anna said her face turning upside down. “Lily said he had told her he was going to make her his mate for life. He can’t do that.”
“That’s what he said I’m afraid. I am so sorry to deliver such bad news to you and-
“LET ME THINK!” Anna hissed harshly at Lisa.
Lisa went silent.
She hated the bitch so much. She hated her as much as she hated Jasmine perhaps even more.
Even Aurora had never been this bad with her.
Oh how she couldn’t wait to get rid of her once and for all!
Soon!
For now all she had to do was take the insults and disrespect.
Anna got up from her chair and began pacing the room back and forth.
She tied her dress robe and snapped at Lisa. “Come with me now.”
And then Lisa followed her as she stormed out of her bedchamber and went past hallways before finally arriving at Lily’s bed chamber.
Anna opened it without knocking and found Lily reading a book.
“You frightened me.” Lily said placing her hand on her chest.
“I’m so sorry to impose on you so late but it was the most urgent.” Anna said.
Lily looked at her and then closed her book shut.
“You have my attention.” Lily said.
“I thought you had spoken to my brother and convinced him that he was to marry you and you would take away that slave’s child.”
“Yes I did.” Lily nodded.
“You didn’t convince him enough.” Anna said irritated. “From what I have gathered he is now taking back his words and wants Jasmine to stay. He isn’t giving you the child’s anymore.”
Lily’s eyes narrowed. “That’s not possible. He told me he was going to tell her tonight.”
“I thought so too.” Anna said. “But she overheard them and he has changed his mind.”
Lily now seemed worried.
“Why would he do that?” Lily said panicking.
“Maybe that’s because Jasmine has more Witt’s and is a lot more cunning than you are.” Anna snapped in annoyance and then she apologized. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean that. I’m just exhausted. She is a witch and she should be with my brother.”
Lily cleared her throat. “I understand.”
“Do you?” Anna asked. “Because I don’t think so. If Jasmine gives birth to this child and stays in the pack, she is going to win his heart. He would completely forget and reject you. And that would be the end of it.”
“So what do you think we can do?” Lily asked frantically.
“We will have to come up with something else.” Anna said.
After a while Lisa said. “Why don’t we plan a kidnapping and someone could be paid to kill her? That way she would be gone for good.”
“That’s not such a bad idea.” Anna acknowledged. “Why haven’t we ever thought of that. The only problem we would have is how this would happen. She knows I hate her so she would never ever come anywhere with me”.
“Same with me.” Lisa said.
And then they turned and looked at Lily.
She was the only person who had been relatively kind to Jasmine.
“You think I should be the one?” Lily asked.
“Yes. You would be the perfect person. Everyone likes you. If something happens and she is kidnapped while you are there then no one would think you are lying.” Anna pointed out.
Lily seemed deep in thought.
“I don’t know about this.”
“If you want something you have to take it whether in a good way or a bad way. Now do you want to be with my brother or not?” Anna asked.
After a while Lily nodded.
“Okay I do.”
“Good.” Anna said. “This is what is going to happen.”
