<h4>Chapter 484: TRAITOR</h4>


    Jasmine was still in utter disbelief as she journeyed through the forest with the escorts she had.


    She expected any minute from now to be attacked and be killed.


    That perhaps, they were waiting f her somewhere on the road.


    She still found it hard to believe that he had simply let her go.


    It made no sense.


    The man was a monster, and she should seem him as such.


    Even though deep down in her heart she told herself that towards the end he had seemed genuinely nice.


    But she could not take away the fact that he had killed so many people.


    Marro’s family well included.


    The journey was quiet and none of the men escorting her said a word.


    There were six of them.


    Two in front of her horse, one at her left and another by her right and then two behind her.


    She took in a deep breath.


    "How much longer are we headed till we reach the crescent pack?" She asked.


    No one answered her.


    Jasmine told herself that she had not been loud enough, so she repeated what she asked.


    They still ignored her.


    She frowned at them and mumbled to herself.


    She felt her baby kick and she smiled.


    At least her baby was here to keep herpany.


    They were on the way for another four hours and she was already well enough tired.


    She felt herself begin to feel sleepy.


    "Halt." She heard.


    She jerked her head up and it was almost sun down.


    She looked up and saw that she was the borders of the crescent pack.


    It finally hit her, so Alpha Hunter had been actually true to his words.


    He had set her free and let her go.


    She felt an edged relief as she saw the familiar Oak tree that marked the beginning of where Xaden’s packy.


    Her heart leapt with joy at the thought of Xaden.


    Goddess.


    Hopefully he was home and safe.


    And same for Marro and Kire.


    Hunter had said that he had no massive recollection of them in his own pack so that most likely meant that they had escaped.


    She prayed that everything had gone the way she wanted it to .


    From the bushes of the forests came out almost hunted men forming a straight like around the borders.


    She saw the crest of the crescent pack on their shoulders.


    One man stood out


    He had ashy brown hair and a muscr build.


    She hadn’t seen him before.


    But she knew they were guards of the crescent pack’s borders.


    "Who are you and what you want?" She heard him ask the two escorts who were riding ahead.


    They came off their horses and then walked up to where he the single man stood outside from the rest of the guards.


    "We’re here from Alpha Hunter’s pack." One of Jasmine’s escorts said.


    Instantly, about fifty of the men from Xaden’s pack turned into wolves and started growling.


    "You bastards." The man in front said. "What makes you think we won’t just hear you limb from limb here?" He asked.


    "Because we have a gift here." Jasmine’s escort said as he waved his hand to the side, showing Jasmine.


    Xaden’s man looked at her and Jasmine made eye contact.


    "If you try to harm us, then we will kill her." Jasmine’s escort said.


    Xaden’s guard was quiet at first and then he looked at him saying nothing .


    The escort handed a letter and Xaden’s guard snatched it.


    "It’s a letter from ours to yours." He said.


    The guard looked down at the envelope for a short while and then stood aside.


    They cleared the way to allow one pass.


    "Only she is wee." He stated.


    "We don’t want toe into your pack." The escort said with a soft chuckle. "We only came to deliver a message and be on our way back."


    The escort walked back to where Jasmine sat on her horse and then pulled the reigns of the horse, before walking it to where Xaden’s guards stood.


    Xaden’s guards collected the horse and Jamsine felt the tension in her throat ease down.


    Hunter’s men slowly retreated back and stood still.


    "You can leave man." Xaden’s border guards said.


    "We would only leave once you leave." They said.


    Eventually Xaden’s border guards slowly began to retreat until they were finally invisible through the bushes.


    Jasmine and her horse were led through the clearing and it was on my when she had stepped on the territory, that she let out a full sigh of relief.


    Her heart was beating so fast Joe and she gently put her hand on her chest.


    "It’s so good to be back." Jasmine expressed in delight.


    But the man didn’t say a word.


    She didn’t notice it as she was too excited.


    "Is Xaden in the pack safe and sound? There was. A little boy that I had with me, is he here? And Kire?" She bbed out once. "And nanny Nia? She is my Nanny. Fiona and Erik? And Anna? How are they?"


    But then he still didn’t say a word and it was then Jasmine noticed his sudden strangeness.


    He seemed stiff and reluctant to even utter a word to her.


    He just went on with leading the horse ahead as though she were invisible.


    Perhaps he hadn’t heard her well enough .


    She cleared her throat and made her voice much louder.


    "I’ve never seen you around the pack before, but at least maybe you would know if they are fine. Or even if you don’t know these people, Xaden. How is he? Is he home? Is he fine?" She asked.


    He still didn’t say a word and this time her heart began to race with utmost speed and fear crept through her.


    Has something happened to Xaden?


    Was this all a ploy?


    Something smelled fishy and wrong.


    But then she tried her best to keep her thoughts to herself.


    She was home.


    That was all that mattered right now.


    Or so she thought.
