Anna started to stutter and discourage him. "Look…. I.. I ca… cant let anything happen to you. I will never forgive myself and I can not lose you. Not now that I just found you. I will never forgive myself."
Xaden bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Nothing is going to happen to me. I know the witch and I will return soon."
And then Fiona called to him. "Xaden she is decent."
And then Xaden went to pick Jasmine.
He scooped her in his arms and carried her limp body away.
Anna followed him all the way down the stairs to where his horse awaited.
He climbed it and they handed her to him.
He gently set her head up against his warm chest and held the reins of the horse.
"I will be back." Xaden said and with that he rode off leaving everyone at the pack gates.
Anna was beyond words frustrated and angry.
She turned around and noticed that Erik had tried to talk to Fiona, but Fiona quickly withdrew from his touch.
What was that all about?
