Chapter 49: Pathetic

That had been her plan earlier, to garner favor from the officials. Jessika smirked. "The Lady’s not here. I’d do it. Stay hidden, Princess."
The cook sneaked out of their hiding place, wearing a pitiful expression. "Alpha Stefan, Alpha Stefan, are you alright? What happened to you?"
She stooped low and helped him to her shoulders. Stefan held unto her tightly but felt his legs count stand in their own. Would this cook be able to support him...?
Jessika pulled him up. The movement stunned Stefan, she began rushing into the pack. Was she that strong? His eyes narrowed at her.
He suspected that all his cooks were omega ranked but she could do something he’d expect a normal lycan would do. Was she warrior ranked?
What was a warrior ranked doing in his kitchen? Still, he stopped thinking as he was on the verge of passing out.
Jessika quickened her pace and nodded at the princess when she passed her. Laurel nodded back then sneaked to the guards quarters to check on them.
The door of Jade’s dining hall was barged in by Jessika. She froze on seeing all the officials in the room but she found her tongue and cried out. "The Alpha was attacked!"
Cade dashed to her immediately and took Stefan out of her shoulders. A tray of food fell down and Jessika gasped when she saw it was Sorren. "I told him!" His eyes were darkened on his brother and he looked scared.
She had to explain, Jessika spoke. "It was by a Lycan that attacked the hunters. It’s wolfsbane. I mean, I think so."
When she saw Sigma try to leave the room, she quickly added. "The Lycan was badly injured too and ran away."
