Chapter 73
Jasmine
I went for a run in the woods, ignoring the whine of my wolf as I ran farther away from Hardin, but the last thing I wanted right now was to see him. How could he expect me to just accept him back after everything?
He had even organized a ball to pick a mate because he would rather do that than admit to himself that he could be responsible for my pregnancy, choosing to call me a little whore because it served his purpose of not taking accountability for his actions.
I could not believe that I had gone and fallen for him despite everything, that somewhere along the line, I had stopped hating him and started hoping he was just misunderstood, but if he thought that just because we were mates that I was going to accept him then he had another thing coming.
My wolf whined but I ignored her, changing our course and decided to run towards the house.
If there was an option to go somewhere else, I would have as I was not yet ready to face my parents.
What was mom and Dad going to think, and it was worse that I did not know yet what Hardin had told them.
But there was no other place to go to, aside from the mansion. Nadia would have been a good option, a very good one, if only she was not going to try knowing what was wrong with me, and possibly telling mom that I was at her place if she actually did call to look for me.
I had left Hardin with Lorenzo back in the forest, and I hoped that he was already on his way back home. They would not actually try to kill themself as I had advised right?
"You should not be having those devious thoughts against Hardin," My wolf snapped, and I shrugged. "Did I have a choice?"
Left with no other option, I realized that heading home was the best decision I could make at that point.
"Face your fears, Jasmine. Face our fears!" That was the advice my wolf kept on giving me and I almost told her to let herself do the talking when I have to face mom and stop with the motivations that I was not ready to buy.
Shifting back, I heaved a sigh of relief and leapt up into the tree to pick the dress that I had kept there, pulling it over my head and breathing in the deep fresh air as I walked back to the mansion.
Luckily I did not meet with any questions from anyone as I walked back to my room, aside from the prying eyes of the servants that felt like it was prickling on me.
They definitely would have heard about my kidnap, but what else did they know? I sighed, and went straight into my room.
