The room stood still for a breathless moment.
There had been a dead silence.
"How can you say such a thing?!" Nanny Nia gasped in horror.
Anna smirked.
A smirk that only she and Nanny Nia understood.
And then Nanny Nia understood what Anna had meant the previous night that it will be too late for Jasmine.
Nanny Nia clenched her teeth. "Jasmine's baby is Alpha Xaden's how and where did she even meet someone else to get pregnant?"
Anna glared at her. "You're calling me a liar? You don't know Jasmine as much as I do. You don't know what she is capable of."
"This is ABSURD!" Nanny Nia said.
Xaden said nothing for a while and then Anna chipped in.
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way," she said gently. "I truly am."
No one still said a word.
Then Xaden stood up slowly, pushing his chair back with a groan.
His eyes—darker than storm clouds—locked on Erik's.
"Search her room."
Erik blinked. "Xaden—"
"Now." His voice left no room for argument.
