"Your majesty?" I said startled.
"Your bosom." The Queen pointed out. "You seem to be very uncomfortable with your necklace there."
"Oh." I mumbled. "I’m sorry."
For so odd reason or the other, the necklace seed to itch.
Since I got into this pack, I had been uncomfortable with it and now it itched.
It had never happened before, not once.
I gently touched the necklace as the pendant was settled in between my breasts.
"It was a gift from my mother." I explained.
The Queen rose a brow. "Your mother? I had no idea your mother was alive."
"She uhmmm...." I began. "Yes she was. She died after giving birth to ."
The Queen went quiet.
"I’m sorry for your loss." She apologized.
I gave a weak shrug. "It’s okay. I never got the chance to actually et her so I would say it doesn’t hurt that bad."
"What about her family?" She asked . "Didn’t you et your grandparents or any of them?"
I shook my head.
"My mother... not much was known about her in the pack. She just appeared one day in the pack with my..." I hesitated, uncomfortable to call him my father.
After a deep and intense pause, I took a very deep breath. "She appeared one day with my father. She never told anyone where she ca from or who her family. Neither did he tell ."
I gave a slight shrug. "She was a slave and nothing more to him or anyone around."
The Queen seed very reluctant to speak at first.
"I can’t understand all you’ve been through Jasmine." The Queen said.
I chewed my bottom lip and was honest with her. "I’ve had a very hard life. And I.... I can’t emphasize how grateful I am to have t you. How much you have saved by pardoning ."
I gently held the necklace and showed her, the pendant was still lodged in between my breasts. "This is the only thing I have that tied to my mother. The only reminder I have to her. I’m happy you found your granddaughter. I also would like to find my mother."
"I heard that my father had a brother." I said.
She nodded. "Yes, he did. Your father was the younger, his brother was older. We were all friends."
"You knew him?" I asked my eyes wide open.
"Yes I most certainly did. He was supposed to be Alpha as the pack law demands but he was more of a researcher, more of a drear and traveler. So when he disappeared I wasn’t really surprised."
"Do you have any idea where he went to?" I asked. "He might be the only one who knows about my mother."
She shook her head. "Unfortunately I don’t. No one knew where he went. He just vanished. So said he left to further his research."
I was disappointed and get my heart drop.
"When I was in the Crescent pack, I found out that he and Xaden’s mother were good friends." I inford her. "I was told she too was interested in researches and things like astronomy. I ca here with the hope that I could et an astronor called Otto. Perhaps he could know more."
The Queen rose a brow.
She looked very impressed.
"You have really done your howork." She said.
I blushed.
"Yes Otto was the best astronor in the entire wolf kingdom. But he went a bit.... Insane. It does that sotis. You get lost into the search for answers and you end up losing your mind." She said. "It happened to ."
My face went white.
I started to apologize but she shook her hand.
"Don’t be sorry. It’s all in the past. Thanks to you I am healed and I have found my grand daughter. "
The Queen took my hand in hers and squeezed it before reassuring .
"Anything you want I’ll give. Especially after you saved my life by giving the Lyrun herb. The sa way I found my granddaughter, I hope you find your answers."
"Thank you your majesty." I said.
And with that she rose to her feet and very elegantly gravitated towards the door.
"You can tell Otto the Queen Herself sent you to et him. He can be very strange." She inford .
I rose up to my feet and curtseyed.
"Yes your majesty. Thank you your majesty." I appreciated.
She smiled and the mont she was at the door I heard a shrill female voices.
"Oh dear you’re here." The Queen said.
"Yes I ca looking for you and soone told you were with Alpha Xaden." Ca a very soft and feminine voice.
"Actually no I- Jasmine!" The Queen said mid sentence. "Co I’ll like to informally introduce you to soone."
I rose up to my feet and as I walked to the door, saw the Queen’s beautiful Grand daughter.
Princes Auburn.
I curtseyed.
"Your majesty."
"Auburn you already t Jasmine last night." Queen Rose said as she waved at . "Jasmine my grand daughter Auburn."
Auburn nodded a tight smile on her face. "Yes I did. She is the slave isn’t she?"
I felt uncomfortable at her words.
"Yes but you don’t say things like that dear." The Queen whispered to Auburn but I could hear.
The Queen turned and smiled at , Auburn did the sa.
"It’s good to et you." Auburn said.
"It’s an honor to et you your majes-
She didn’t even acknowledge anymore, she turned to Queen Rose. "I thought you said you ca to see Alpha Xaden."
"Oh Jasmine had to spend a night in his bedroom. It was her I ca to find." Queen Rose said.
"Ahhh I see." Auburn smiled at .
I felt my necklace burn again and I was forced to slowly remove it.
"What’s wrong?" Queen Rose asked a worried look on her face.
I shook my head as I pulled the necklace from my bosom. "Nothing too serious. My necklace has been hurting for a while now."
"Your majesty!" Soone said in the hallway drawing the Queen’s attention and soon they began discussing away from the room.
I pulled the necklace out revealing the chipped erald pendant.
Auburn’s eyes widened as though she had seen fire
