The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 572: A REAL MONSTER

JASMINE’S POV

I watched as Auburn stormed off.

I wondered what had just happened.

Why was she interested in helping me and most of all why did she want to know about Xaden and me.

It has been extremely difficult telling her it was none of her business especially since she was the princess, but I had to.

It had taken me aback.

I didn’t want anyone mentioning my child.

And in the cruel manner she had said.

I shivered at the thought of it.

Then my burning necklace interrupted my stream of thoughts.

”Ouch.” I howled in pain at it.

First the walls burned me, now my necklace was burning?

It was getting very strange.

I was tempted to take it off, but I had never taken it off before.

Well at least once when Xaden had removed it from neck the night of the thunder storm on the boat.

That was the first and only time.

I gently touched the necklace again.

The only gift I had from my mother.

I was tempted to take it off but something told me not to.

So I listened to my instincts, took a deep breath and placed it back.

To my utmost shock, the necklace stopped hurting.

I headed out of the room in search of Otto’s room.

I was already half way down the stairs when I recalled that Anna had been ill.

I didn’t want to see her.

I doubted there was any point doing that.

After all, she was always horrible to me.

Eventually I decided it wouldn’t be any harm going to see her.

I wanted to ask a servant where the room was when all of a sudden, I stopped.

I usually didn’t remember places once I had arrived.

It would take me a while to recall a place.

But for this place, it seemed like I could remember.

I found myself walking on my own and soon I was at a very familiar door.

Anna’s room.

I frowned.

Now that I thought of it.

Then entire pack felt as though I had been here.

As though it was a distant memory.

It felt so strange and confusing.

Never in my life had I experienced something like this before.

And of all

Places to happen it was the royal pack itself where I had never been?

I shrugged it off as I shook my head.

I knocked at the door.

”Yes?” Came a feminine soft voice.

It was most definitely not Anna.

Before I could respond, I heard some crashing noises.

I frowned, knocked again and this time no one answered.

I gently opened the door only to have a shoe fly right at me.

I quickly dodged it and looked back as it flew out of the room.

I turned back only to see that Anna was throwing a fit.

She was still lying in bed and I wondered why.

”And so?” She glared at the servants who were scampering around. ”Get the hell out of my room!”

”We were told to give you a bath.” A servant who looked like she wouldn’t want to be here said.

”And I said you should get the hell out of my room!” Anna snapped.

They were the maids who had followed us on the journey and I knew that they were always regretting coming along.

”But it was your brother who told us to make sure we stay and take care of you.” The maid who hadn’t spoken said.

”Are you fucking deaf?! Get out!” Anna screamed as she flung a bedside ornament on them.

The girls jumped, terrified.

I had dealt with Anna and I knew her better than anyone else.

”Girls I think you should go.” I said as I walked to the servants who had gathered in a corner.

It was then Anna saw me and she twisted her face in disgust.

She wasn’t happy to see me of course.

”But her brother said we should-

”Don’t worry.” I reassured them. ”I’ll speak to him.”

That didn’t seem to satisfy them and I suspected it had to do because they knew the predicament I was in with him.

They looked at each other seemingly unconvinced.

”Go!” I urged the girls. ”Don’t worry. I’ll hand it from here.”

And then the girls finally zoomed out of the room.

I turned to face Anna who was in bed just staring at me.

”What happened to you?” She asked me confused.

For a split second I didn’t know what she was talking about and then I remembered that I had dyed my hair.

”Oh.” I said as I touched my black curls. ”I decided I needed a new change.”

She eyed me suspiciously before turning away. ”Get the hell out.”

”I only came to see if you were fine.” I said in all honesty.

”Now you have. Now Get out.” She said.

I shook my head. ”Jessica.....”

She turned very slowly, her eyes glaring at me as I called her by the name I’ve always known her as.

”This isn’t right. You’ve been this way for so long. You must be exhausted. Unleashing anger and hate. It’s making you a monster. Your own wolf is rejecting you.” I shook my head. ”You do realize that if you wolf succeeded in doing so you would never be with Erik. The tie you have on him as his mate. Would be broken. You would be like me...”

Her eyes went hollow. ”I would never be like you! You’re the reason why my brother is upset with me. Why he doesn’t believe me. All because of you. The nerve of you to even come to this room.”

She shifted in the bed.

I suspect that she was still weak hence why she could do anything.

”And my name is Anna. Don’t call me that name ever again.”

She swore and seemed to want to get out of the bed.

”Let me help-

She jerked her hand away. ”I can get up on my own. I don’t need your help.”

I stood back and watched as she slowly turned her leg to the side of her bed before setting her hands steady on the mattress to support herself.

Then she tried to get up but instead she came crashing to the floor.

I rushed to help her.

”DON’T TOUCH ME YOU FILTHY DOG!” She screamed and I instantly froze.

I stepped back again and looked at her.

”WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT GET OUT!” She screamed. ”I SAID GET OUT!”

And she began to pick anything she could from the floor before flinging at me.

”Okay ok.” I said as I raised my hand in surrender and headed back towards the door.

As I was about to close it, I heard her crying alone.
