GIRL FIGHT TWO!

Jasmine finally released Loren and looked at him up with a weak smile.

The one she knew she could manage.

She was sad to see him go, but it was what she had to do.

Letting him go off to confront Xaden will just make things worse.

Who knew what next he would do?

Punish him by sending him out of the pack for defying his orders?

She could not risk it.

She gathered her things and finally left the room.

She headed back down to where she knew the servant's quarters were.

On her way past she bumped into lady Belinda.

"There you are." Lady Belinda said peering over her. "Just the girl I was looking for."

Jasmine curtseyed. "My lady."

Lady Belinda looked at her through her nose and then she remembered that no one liked her.

They all looked down at her with contempt and if it was left to them, she would be somewhere in the dungeons, perhaps even worse.
