<h4>Chapter 482: ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION</h4>


    Xaden sat down in his court room, all alone.


    He had been in there for over five hours since the Anna’s allegations that lead to Jasmine’s discovery.


    He was dazed and his emotions were in chaos.


    How could she do this?


    None of it made any sense and yet there was the clear evidence that it.


    That he had been taken for a fool this entire time, that Jasmine had yed her cards against him and won.


    He massaged his eyes and took in a deep breath.


    And the fucking child she carried around.


    He knew it! He couldn’t have a child.


    That was the only part that made much sense to him now .


    He was never going to be able to conceive a child and yet somehow Jasmine had paraded herself, being supposedly pregnant.


    He imagined her in the arms of the monster who had almost killed him and then he clenched the ss in his hand so much that it shattered.


    He flung the remaining ss from his hand in rage.


    That was why he didn’t have a heart.


    So that he never had to deal with such trickery.


    And yet she had seeded.


    in and stupid Jasmine had infiltrated his pack and deceived him.


    Almost killed him.


    What had she wanted?


    To have the pack for herself and her lover?


    So that they could live in pure bliss Ashik his body and all the others rotted somewhere.


    Or perhaps that they could fuck while making him watch.


    Stupid bitch, he swore under his breath.


    There was a knock at the door, but he didn’t seem to have even heard it.


    It was opened and Erik emerged.


    He walked up to him with some papers.


    "Sweet goddess Xaden." Erik gawked. "You’re bleeding."


    Xaden frowned confused at what Erik was saying at first until he looked down and saw that truth be told, his hands were bleeding.


    "It’s fine." Xaden mumbled waving it off.


    He was still recovering so it was difficult for his body to heal as quickly as it usually did.


    "What do you have for me?" He requested.


    Erik sighed seeming ufortable to deliver the news.


    "Xaden I...." Erik paused unable to piece the words together.


    "Is it word from the moonlight pack?" Xaden asked.


    Erik swallowed and then nodded. "Yes.... But Xaden I don’t know if...


    Xaden snatched the paper right out of Erik’s hands as he was too annoyed with his inconsistency and his eyes trailed through the paper.


    As Xaden read through the content of the letter the story unfolded and as if reading alongside with him, Erik began to speak.


    "It was a cotion of the words of many members in the pack." Erik said. "They all attested to the fact that Hunter indeed visited the pack frequently. They say she was friendly with him, yes, but they never stated explicitly that she had an affair with the man."


    Xaden’s flung the paper on the desk and leaned back in his chair to massage his temple with his bloodied hand.


    "Have you sent for Marie?" Xaden asked


    "We have, about four hours ago, but she turned the troops back and said that she wasn’t taking in any visitors." Erik stated.


    "Send them back again. Drag her in, if need be." Xaden said. "But make sure she gets here."


    He wanted to question her.


    She was the one who had stated that Jasmine was pregnant.


    Perhaps she too was in on this.


    After all she had never really liked him and it won’t have surprised him to know that she had been on this too.


    Erik sighed.


    "There is something else." Erik added reluctantly.


    Xaden didn’t take his hands off his temple.


    "What? Did she fuck the king too?"


    "No." Erik said. "But in one of the supposed letters between her and Hunter, she had told him she had enough jewelry that would keep them out of ever going broke."


    Xaden frowned.


    "What does that mean?" Xaden asked exhausted already.


    "We’re not sure." Erik said as he looked down at his feet. "But we suppose.... Uhm... I don’t know. I’m not certain. But it’s possible....


    "Possible that what ERIK?!" Xaden snapped annoyed .


    Erik sighed heavily. "It’s possible that it points out that she stole a jewelry from this pack and there is only one jewelry in this pack that can make someone wealthy forever."


    Xaden paused instantly.


    His veins poked through his skin and his face went a sullen white.


    "No." Xaden said.


    Erik started to speak, but Xaden was already up at his feet and storming out of the room.


    Erik followed him.


    "Xaden you need to take these things carefully." Erik stated .


    Xaden ignored him and everyone else that stood in his path.


    Those who were wise enough, steered clear of him the moment they set eyes on him.


    Anna saw him and gasped. "Xaden are you alright? Is everything alright?"


    He ignored her and marched down the stairs until he unlocked the wide doors and pushed them open.


    He stopped as he realized what now stood before him.


    He slowly walked towards it and lo and behold, was out of all the treasures in the room, the one that stood out from everyone else, the one that was in the center of the room.


    The ss that held it safely kept was opened and it was empty.


    His mother’s wedding and coronation ne.


    The one that had belonged to the first generation of his family line.


    Gone.


    Erik’s face was white.


    Anna gasped. "Who could have done such a thing?"


    Erik red at Anna and then walked up to Xaden.


    He gently touched Xaden’s shoulder.


    Xaden was stiff to the touch


    "Xaden I know this seems a lot and too much to take in, but i think it’s a little too early to conclude." He expressed. "Someone could have done this. I don’t think Jasmine is capable of any of this?"


    "Jasmine?" Anna gasped her beautiful blue eyes wide open. "Jasmine did this? Oh my Goddess."


    She closed her eyes.


    "Xaden I’m so sorry." She apologized.


    But Xaden was listening to neither of them.


    Soon there were noises and murmurs from the people outside.


    And then Xaden perceived the scent like thunder in his brain .


    Jasmine.
