Claimed

Brian tried to figure out what had happened, there was no way die little girl could go far from the pack house without anyone knowing about this. More so, no matter how adventurous Jasmine was, she wouldn’t be brave enough to enter the wood too deep.

The warriors had searched the woods nearby, but they couldn’t find anything, there was no trace of the baby there.

One and a half year old baby couldn’t shift yet, but they couldn’t find her trace on the ground, they could only find those traces of adult and beasts, which was common, since the area was not a forbidden place and many people would come and go from the woods,

In that case, Brian thought, there must be someone else, who had taken Jasmine away, but who?

Everyone knew that Jasmine was the alpha’s daughter, no one would dare enough to mess with the alpha and wanted to see

his wrath.

But then, there was one name that crossed Brian’s mind. Willow!

Her daughter had impulsive tendency to do something reckless and she was nowhere to be found. No one paid attention to her absence, since all of their focus was on Jasmine.

However, he looked around and asked whether they had seen Willow and none of them had seen her since they started the search,

With that, Brian went back to his house to look for his other daughter. His heart was beating so hard against his chest. He prayed his accusation was wrong.

Willow couldn’t be that stupid

Brian found Willow in their house, she was staying in her room, curling under the blanket, as she turned off all the light. This room was dim-

“Willow.”

Brian noticed that his daughter was not sleeping, because her body jolted a little when he called her name and he didn’t know where to start.

Brian entered the room and then sat at the edge of the bed. He sat there in silent for a while to gather his thought and tried to think of the right question to ask.

“Willow, I know that you are not sleeping.” Brian pulled the blanket from her, but she held it, thus he let it go, it only confirmed that she was indeed not sleeping at this moment. “Why did you do that?”

“I didn’t do anything”

Willow’s voice was hoarse, indicating that she had been crying. Brian closed his eyes to compose himself, but his body started trembling. The way she talked, the way she acted he knew that his pray didn’t work.

“Where is she, Willow?” Brian asked to the main point. He might not know Althea growing up and he might lose his sight on Willow and how much she had changed as she grew up, but he still knew her at some level. “Where is Jasmine?”

“I don’t know.”

The answer was very curt, but her voice dripped with guilt. She felt guilty, she should be.

“I know that you are not that cruel, Willow. I know that you are only hurt and you wanted to hurt another people because of that, but Jasmine is only a baby, she is still your niece, how could you do that?”

I didn’t do anything”

Willow’s voice faltered, she started crying, but she was too stubborn to admit her error and how wrong what she had done.

“She is a baby, Willow. She could die and her death will be on you”

This time, Willow didn’t say anything, she was silent, the room was so quiet and time trickled with tension.

“Tell me where is she, Willow. This time, the question came rather harsh. Brian asked her firmly, he didn’t want the answer, but he demanded it.

Willow refused to speak, she pulled the blanket over her head, she didn’t want to say anything about it.

“Get out of my room. I want to sleep. I don’t know anything.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

That was when Brian lost his composure and actually yelled at her. He yanked the blanket out of her harshly, which made Willow velped. Brian threw the blanket away and then looked at his daughter incredulously. He couldn’t imagine what what this woman had become. She was not the daughter that she raised.

Not only she hurt her sister, her niece, but Jasmine was literally a baby. How could she bring herself to hurt a baby!? How could she didn’t care at all with that fact?

“Enough!” Brian roared angrily at Willow’s immaturity, he glared at her harshly and this made Willow shivered in fear.

She had never seen her father this angry before. yest, she had done so many bad thing, but he had never looked he was going to stranger her.

her as if

“Fa father.” Willow gulped down, she moved toward the wall, put herself as far away as possible from Brian, she was so scared of him. “Father, you scared me.. she whimpered.

“Good” He wanted her to be scared. “You know what fear is, but you don’t care that a baby is scared right now because of

your action!”

Willow lowered her head, she avoided to look at her father in the eyes, because of her guilty conscience.

“Tell me where is Jasmine, Brian asked, he enunciated every word carefully, so she would hear the anger in his voice. She should know better not to make this impulsive action after what she had done before with the fake death.

Willow shook her head, but Brian was seeing red, he raised his hand and slapped her so hard, she bit her tongue and blood oozed out from her mouth, but Brian couldn’t care less about her.

The injury that Willow suffered would be healed in a matter of second, but if something happened to Jasmine.. Brian couldn’t even start to imagine it.

*TELL ME! WHERE 15 SHEPT

Willow startled and broke down in tears, as she pleaded with him. “I will tell you please father”

but please, don’t tell anyone about this,
