Ariana had to check on Jasmine because she had been sick for a few days already and only now was the healer called to check on her.
However, unfortunately, something bad had happened. Something dreadful. For now, no one could say the real reason why Eros suddenly lashed out and went out of control. Josh only told them that he saw pictures of Emily on Derek’s phone and all of a sudden, he became violent.
They had not yet confirmed what kind of pictures that Eros had seen. Moreover, it was not the first time that Eros had fought Derek, because those boys had been bullying Emily all this time.
Yet, there was never anything serious about the result of their fight, it would leave bruises here and there or even a broken rib or two, but aside from that, it was never life threatening.
They would have never thought Eros would kill Derek in a fight, which meant, during all those previous fights, the young lycan had been holding himself back or this time, he was way beyond enraged by whatever pictures of Emily that he had seen.
How could he have succeeded in overpowering four shifters and then managed to kill one of them? That was simply insane...
It seemed the young lycan grew very strong with each passing day and someday, probably, no one could stand him in a one on one fight, even the alpha...
After all, he was a special creature, there were not many lycans still alive. Some of them even didn’t know if they still existed until they saw Eros.
“Who is dead?” Jasmine asked out of curiosity.
.....
“Derek,” Ariana told her.
“Derek?” Jasmine frowned. She felt the name sounded familiar to her ears. “I feel like I have heard that name somewhere.” She tried to recall her memories about that name. “That’s the man who bullied Emily, right?” Jasmine asked for confirmation.
Ariana nodded. “Yes, and also the younger brother of Darius.”
Hearing that, Jasmine was visibly shocked. She didn’t know that Darius had a little brother, since he never brought it up in their usual conversations.
Yet, that was not all the news that could leave her shocked, because when Ariana spoke again, Jasmine could feel like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her.
She didn’t even know how to respond to that.
“I need you to take a pregnancy test,” Ariana said in a toneless voice and watched the change in her expression. If she didn’t know if Jasmine had not been having an affair with Darius, she wouldn’t be so concerned about this news, knowing it must be the alpha’s child, but now...
“What do you mean?” Jasmine became very defensive when she heard that. She moved away from Ariana and retracted her hand from her grip immediately, as if she was electrocuted. Fortunately, the healer was already done drawing her blood.
However, Jasmine knew for sure what that meant. There was no way, she wouldn’t know about that and how could she not see this coming?
Yet, just like what Ariana feared the most, Jasmine also had the same concern regarding this matter.
“I think you are pregnant,” Ariana said in an almost sorry tone. She could see fear creeping into Jasmine’s eyes, but she was too stubborn to let anyone read her that easily, therefore, she shouted at the healer and asked her to get out of the room.
“I want you to get out!” Jasmine screamed. Her mind was so dizzy, she couldn’t think straight and wanted to be left alone.
Ariana didn’t take this to heart, as she knew how awful it must be for Jasmine, especially when she just gave birth to a pair of twins, but now she was pregnant again.
Yes, the alpha told them that she was a breeder, this woman would pop out his children for as long as he wanted.
Even though Ariana knew that was a horrible thing to do and how cruel that kind of punishment was, she also understood why Jasmine deserved that.
They lost so many members of the pack because of countless attacks from humans, not only from the organizations, but also other yet small groups of people, who really hated the existence of the supernatural creatures. They too had attacked them a few times in the past.
And because of that, the animosity between them only got deeply rooted by now.
“I will leave now,” Ariana said, as she stood up and took all of her things, but before she turned around, she looked Jasmine straight in her eyes. “I will not say anything about this pregnancy yet, because you don’t want to take the test, but maybe we can talk about what you want to do with it later.”
Jasmine narrowed her eyes. She was not sure that she got the message right. Was Ariana thinking the way she was thinking right now? Were they concerned about the same thing?
“You know where to find me, when you finally feel better,” Ariana said and then she excused herself from the room, leaving Jasmine alone to deal with her own emotions.
Yes, the pregnancy test had not yet been done, but it didn’t mean Ariana’s prediction was not correct. If anything, the pregnancy test would only solidify her prediction.
Jasmine gritted her teeth, as she fell back onto the bed and curled herself into a ball, while holding her stomach. She hated this. She hated the child!
Emily was told to not approach Eros, because he was not stable right now. He was full of anger and it was clear to see from the way he growled dangerously.
This was not the first time for Emily to see Eros full of anger, but this was indeed the first time to see him this angry about something.
“Is he all right?” Emily wanted to know if he was alright, because she was afraid that something bad would happen to him.
