"What?" Jade asked in a small voice. No, she was clearly mistaken. She couldn't have heard them right. But she did. She heard everything. Every single word her parents uttered. Jade couldn't describe what she felt as the words sinked into her ears. This wasn't a joke. It couldn't be. Jade left the castle secretly and decided to come back home. She decided she needed some time away from the prince and this way, a male wouldn't be scented off her. By the time she was back to the castle, the scent would have gone away. She knew she had to report to her duties early tomorrow but she doubted she would go. She knew Gregory wouldn't hold it against her, afterall, she just had him between her thighs. She walked slowly down the path that led to their cottage, trying to put her thoughts in order
