The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: AN ASSASSINATION INVESTIGATION (3)

ELENA’S POV

She opened the door for the men and Damian and Erik came rushing in with the carpeted body.

Loren jumped up.

"What in the name of the goddess is going on?" He demanded rising to his feet as they brought in the wrapped up object.

They dumped it on his long desk.

"Hey!" Loren complained. "What’s going on? What’s this for?"

"It’s good to see you loren." Elena said with a smile.

Loren then looked up and acknowledged Elena.

"Elena." He said softly. "What are you doing here? And you didn’t stop by?"

She gave a smile. "Surprise surprise."

At that moment Jasmine came out of her room.

"Loren." She started. "I was thinking of going down to get some other treatments for the men who had come for-

She stopped in her tracks when she saw the people who were in the room.

"Jasmine." Elena said with a radiant smile. "It’s good to see you alive and well. How are you?"

"I-I’m fine." Jasmine mumbled.

Loren rose a brow but said nothing about their little interaction.

He turned back to the table. "What is all this?"

Elena went to the table and pulled it open revealing the face of the dead woman.

"That’s what this is all about." Elena said.

"Goodness! Great goddess above!" Loren gasped.

He leaned down over the body and Jasmine herself peeped to view.

"This is a desert wolf." He said. "Where did you find one?"

Jasmine turned pale.

Jasmine looked at him. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

"Loren what I am about to tell you will not leave this room. Do I have your word for it?" She asked him.

He sighed. "You brought the body here in the first place. You must trust me, if not you wouldn’t have come here."

She sighed. "There was an attack on Xaden’s life. A desert wolf almost killed him, with this dagger."

She tossed the dagger down on the table.

Loren picked it up and smelled it.

"This Catlan." He said.

"You know it?" Erik asked.

"Yes I do. It’s very dangerous poison. It can kill a man if he isn’t careful in an instant." He said. "Almost impossible to make. It’s lethal to anyone."

"I said the same thing." Elena said. "What we want to know is why and how a desert wolf got into this pack unnoticed. It’s never happened before."

"I have to agree myself. And is it a coincidence that it’s the halo festival? When all wolves are at their weakest?" Loren said examining the mark by her neck.

"No it’s not." Elena said. "The ritual isn’t until midnight so I told Xaden to remain in his bedroom. Let them think they succeeded. With time they will come out."

"So what do you want from me." Loren asked.

"Your potions are very good and you can find out how long she has been and where she came from in the past few days in under hours." Elena said. "That’s what I want to find out. Her body must have picked up traces of where she came from."

Loren sighed. "I can do it. But it will take sometime."

"But before midnight?" Elena said. "If they get wind of tha fact that Xaden never died, then I’m afraid that they could do much worse. And I’m here to give an extra hand."
