"You might die."
Was all that Jasmine was hearing in her brain.
It kept spiralling in her mind.
The facts.
Her being an unshifted. Her never being able to transform and never being able to give birth the way normal wolves do.
She started to feel dizzy and faint.
She got up from her seat and walked to the window and placed her hands against the rail to take fresh air.
"Jasmine." Nanny Nia said gently behind her.
But her mind wasn’t there.
She wasn’t listening.
Nanny Nia turned to Marie.
"We don’t know that yet." Nanny said glaring at Marie. "Right? Tell her the truth and that we don’t know any of that yet."
Marie massaged her brows. "Yes we don’t know. But it’s a possibility. Jasmine needs to know. That baby might come out unshifted and she would have a normal birth. But the father is an Alpha. We can’t change that. The baby might also be a pup and complicate the birth. It’s one of those things."
"Can we know? Is there a way for us to know in all of that your weird and creepy voodoo if the baby she is carrying is a pup or unshifted." Nanny asked Marie.
"I’m not a goddess." Marie answered slightly annoyed.
"Says the woman who brought snow in the heat." Nanny mumbled.
"What did you just say?" Marie demanded.
"You heard me. I heard the stories." Nanny fired back, a streak of her grey hair across her face. "How can someone bring snow and not conveniently know what type of baby a mother is carrying. You’re hiding it."
"Now you watch it-
"Stop!" Jasmine screamed at both women.
They stopped bickering immediately and faced her.
Jasmine held her slight bulge and sighed heavily.
"What are the tendencies that the baby is going to be a pup?" Jasmine asked Marie. "Don’t lie to me please."
Marie swallowed. "Xaden is an Alpha. So I’ll have to say pretty high. His genes are more dominant than yours."
Jasmine held back the tears at the back of
Her throat.
"And how possible is it that I will survive this pregnancy if it’s a pup?" Jasmine asked.
"It’s low." Marie said.
Jasmine bit her bottom lip and wiped the tear that was at the corner of her eyes.
"We could abort it. Now that it’s not too late. Now that you still have time." Marie offered. "Just ask Xaden had asked."
Jasmine shook her head. "I’m not killing my child."
The room went quiet.
