"So lily took up my work in the pack." Jasmine said changing the subject of her baby.
"Yes." Fiona said. "I don’t like house hold chores as you know so when she offered I didn’t really have a problem."
"I feel terrible." Jasmine admitted. "Xaden is her mate and here I am pregnant with his child."
"Well we can’t all have what we want can we?" Fiona rose a brow as she stuffed a spoon of chocolate pudding in her mouth.
"I guess we can’t. But she has been kind to ." Jasmine said. "And I was surprised. I expected her to be vindictive and hateful towards . Nothing like Anna."
"Gods no." Fiona shook her head. "Anna is a monster. I’m surprised she was all smiles. I know it’s just for show but still surprised."
"I still can’t believe that he brought to this room." Jasmine pointed out. "This is his mother’s bedroom and he chose to bring here. There are so many other rooms in this pack. Why here?"
"Maybe because he knows that people won’t be stupid enough to harm you in this room." Fiona explained. "From what I heard this room since it had been renovated had been untouched. No one was allowed to stay here. Well now except for you. It’s at the further side of the east wing. You would have to pass through the guards both at the east and west wing to get here. There is no way anyone can co in just like that."
"Anna didn’t seem happy to know that I was staying in her mother’s bedroom." Jasmine pointed out.
"She should get over it. There are so list she can do is complain. Xaden isn’t going to kick you out." Fiona waved her hand dismissively.
Jasmine held her stomach protectively.
"I know what she is capable of." Jasmine explained. "And I won’t let her anywhere my child. I don’t want you to either."
"You would think soone would be kind to their own niece." Fiona snorted irritated. "Not Anna. Never Anna. I still can’t believe that she is going to be mated with Erik. After everything she has done, she still sohow gets away with it." Jasmine said as she yawned .
Fiona’s face went pale white and her body went cold .
Jasmine frowned. "Fiona are you alright?"
Fiona nodded. "Of course I’m fine".
"I just ntioned Anna and Erik and you went white." Jasmine said. "Co to think of it, when we were at the dinning table and she made her announcent, you seed very unhappy."
Fiona shook her head. "Trust it’s nothing."
Jasmine looked closely at her friend not believing a word she had to say .
"Are you sure? You don’t seem fine." Jasmine stubbornly argued.
As they were conversing, Jasmine heard a knock at the door.
"Co in." Jasmine said.
"You can’t just let people co in without knowing who they are." Fiona reprimanded her.
Jasmine shrugged. "I’ll do better next ti. Don’t change the subject."
And then Erik ca into the room with Kire running far ahead.
"Oh Erik it’s you!" Jasmine giggled and then Kire jumped on the bed.
She hugged him and massaged his wolf fur.
"Such a long ti. I haven’t seen you in a while buddy." Jasmine remarked and he wagged his tail. "I’ve missed you. Did you miss too Kire?"
"I can swear to you that he did." Erik said as he walked to the chest of drawers closest to them and leaned against it. "Drove crazy. Kept on hovering around and crying through the night." Erik said.
Kire was panting excitedly as Jasmine laughed with him.
"Fiona was just saying how I shouldn’t just let anyone into the room next ti". Jasmine said as she scratched Kire’s ears.
"Fiona is not wrong you know. Better safe than sorry." Erik remarked .
Jasmine smiled and continued playing with Kire.
And then Erik turned to look at Fiona who was rigid and was intentionally not looking at him.
"How is your health?" Erik asked. "How are you feeling now?"
Jasmine shrugged. "I’m much better now. Thank you."
She wasn’t sure if Erik knew that she was pregnant and she was not sure how well Xaden would take it to her telling him so she kept her mouth shut.
And then Kire stopped playing and his nose pointed at her stomach.
He sniffed and sniffed and then whimpered.
His paw pointed at her tummy and he whimpered again.
Kire knew she was pregnant.
Smart boy.
"Complete wolves like Kire can tell when a new pup is on its own." Erik remarked.
"You know." Jasmine stated.
"Yeah, Xaden told ." Erik said as he folded his arms. "And even if he didn’t, since Kire could perceive it, I would have too."
Fiona abruptly rose to her feet.
"Jasmine I just realized that I have sothing’s I need to get done." Fiona said.
"You’re going already?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah. I’ll see you later." Fiona said as she walked over to where Jasmine lay and kissed her forehead.
And then made sure to not make any contact with Erik as she stepped past him and headed out to the door.
"B...but we haven’t finished... discu-
But Jasmine’s words were silenced by the hard slam of the door.
The door was slamd so hard that even Kire shook in fear.
"What was that all about?" Jasmine asked confused.
Fiona had been perfectly fine before Erik had arrived.
"I have no idea." He said.
She frowned at him.
"Is there sothing that happened?" She asked him.
The mont Erik had stepped in, Fiona had acted cold and was out of the room imdiately.
"No." Erik said quickly and the sat down beside her on the bed." How do you feel?"
"Sore." She smiled at him. "But Its worth it."
"You know the risks to keeping this baby?" Erik said. "You are sure this is what you want?"
"Erik." She said in a warning tone.
He rose his hands up. "I’m with you on this decision. I’m with you on any decision you make. I just want to know that you are sure of what you are doing."
She sighed. "Yes Erik. I want this baby."
He smiled down at her and then said. "Co here."
And then she ca closer to him and he pecked her forehead.
Erik was the brother she niece had and he made her feel safe.
When he let go, she saw Xaden was standing at the door.
