Chapter 634
A month of staying in the royal pack and i was getting fed up with anxiety on the progress.
I had handed Otto the concealed pages that held Xaden’s mother’s conversation about my uncle Elton.
Eventually Otto had found out that the book had been written in the distant lands.
A section of wolf world where the wolves didn’t really have an Alpha.
I had been shocked to discover that it was a Territory of the Moonlight pack.
“What?” I said the moment Otto was looking through the spare page
“Distant lands.” He nodded in agreement. “It’s quite far away. On the edge of wolf world ever heard of it p>
I shook my head.
I didn’t know much about anything until I started reading and writing.
“Well it’s a side of wolf world.” He explained as he sat back down on a blank space of paper. “They don’t like to owe allegiance to the royal pack. They’ve been independent for the longest time. Until your father’s ancestors conquered and took them p>
I became grim.
Was every Alpha of the moonlight pack born to be a monster terrorizing everyone.
“Surely there are rules that prevent things like this from happening.” I itched my arms.
Otto grunted. “You could say that. Wolf pack politics is messy. I don’t like to get into it. But what I can tell you is eventually it because a territory of the moonlight pack p>
“And the natives of the land?” I asked worried about them being massacred.
“The locals didn’t have much of a choice.” Otto shrugged. “It was either stay and accept of risk losing your lives. They took the smarter options. Didn’t help that the King then was having an affair with the daughter of the Alpha moonlight pack p>
I grew my face in absolute disgust. “So because he was sleeping with her he turned a blind eye to them taking over the distant lands. By the time the council got wind of what had happened was too late. They had secured the land in blood and no one could take it away from them. Here and there they have some crisis between the natives but doesn’t get bigger than that p>
“Ah-hah!” Otto said before I could process the information.
“The map is accurate. Whoever wrote this translations made it the distant lands.” He jumped and hugged me in excitement.
I remained stiff and after a while he hurriedly let go.
He grumbled and went back to his work.
“At least now we know where to derive our information from. If your uncle deciphered this map, then the odds of us finding him are very high.” He said.
My heart leapt in excitement.
This was it.
My doorway to happiness. I could finally find my extended family.
He frowned as he paused from the translation. “Jasmine the golden leaf from the Drasil tree is from the distant lands. Is it a coincidence that that’s the same place the map was written p>
I paused.
I remembered the golden leaf.
It was stuck in a drawer in my dresser.
Ever since Otto had gotten me the potion I took at night, I didn’t have any more of those dreams and I was happy.
The thought of me being attacked in the dream and being attacked in really life was terrifying.
“Jasmine I must say.” Otto cleared his throat. “You fascinate me p>
He leaned back and set the magnifying glass he had been using to examine the map.
“There is something about you I have never understood.” He pointed out. “You’re an unshifted wolf and yet you have royal red hair that refuses to remain black even after dyed. You have dream walked and travelled far away to the distant lands, you were the maiden for the halo festival. All you Jasmine. You’re a wonder and I don’t think you’re just a wolf. I think something happened to you. Something that I can not place a finger on p>
I became tensed.
Otto’s gaze on me was forcing me to face a reality I didn’t want to believe.
If I had told him about the siren or how I had been burned not just by the pack but by my necklace.
Or how I had collapsed the night of Auburn’s shifting.
Things were happening to me that I just couldn’t understand.
I felt the wave of nausea that I had been feeling for the past few days flush my face.
He blinked at me.
“Are you okay Jasmine?” He asked me.
I paused and tried to swallow heavily.
I tried to breathe hard and set my hand against my back.
My body felt inflamed and I waved my hand to fan myself.
I could hear him rise up to his feet.
In a matter of seconds I could feel him by myself.
His hands went gently on my shoulder and tried to blink hard and shake off the wave of nausea.
“Jasmine.” He said.
Very slowly it began to fade and then I could feel my head slowly pull back to normal.
In a matter of seconds I squeezed my eyes together and was okay.
I looked up at Otto.
“Sweet goddess Jasmine.” He said in horror. “Are you fine? You look as white as a ghost p>
I managed a smile and rubbed my temple. “Yes I think I’m just tired p>
Now that I thought about it, climbing the steps had become seemingly more difficult and exhausting.
I shook my head. “I’m fine. I should be going p>
“Yes you should Jasmine.” He nodded. “If anything happens to you here Xaden would have my head the Queen would also cut off my balls. I still like them even though they don’t have any use p>
I managed a weak smile as he escorted me out to the door.
“You know what?” He asked me. “I’ll move my office downstairs just so that coming up to meet me will he more comfortable for you okay p>
I wanted to argue but he shushed me and in a matter of seconds I was out the door.
