The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: ELENA’S GOODBYE

Xaden didn’t watch as Jasmine was dragged out of the hall room and down to the dungeon.

He gave all the Alphas present a deathly stare that told them to keep quiet, and they did.

Erik turned to him. "Xaden, you should not have killed him that way. There must have been more."

"You heard her." Xaden said in disgust. "She knew that he was around."

"Something is off about all of this." Erik said. "Do you think Bale would risk his cover of having Jasmine as his spy here? She was ousted out right in the bloody middle of everyone present."

"So what?!" Xaden shot. "Don’t forget your place. You’re my gamma, but that doesn’t mean I have to take orders from you."

"Being your gamma means I prevent you from making rash decisions." Erik said.

"Why are you protecting her? What, you’re fucking her now?!" Xaden said bitterly.

Erik’s face glimmered in rage. "You will not insult me."

The hair on his body stood at attention, ready to attack. Erik’s eyes brightened, and his status as Alpha heightened.

The same thing happened to Xaden, who was already beyond words angry.

But their men came in between.

"There is no need for a fight." Damian said as he and the other guards separated their almost fight.

Erik jerked himself free from their house and said.

"I’m not doing this!" And then he stormed off.

Xaden swore and walked back up to his throne room.

He stood in front of them all.

"The one who sent the assassin has been discovered." Xaden said. "You are all free to go."

"And Bale?" The King said. "What will you do to him?"

Xaden clenched his jaw.

He knew that he could be allowed to deal Bale some blows for sending someone to spy on him.

He had broken a rule.

But it would be too easy.

Xaden was going to follow up with his initial plans.

Make Jasmine pay.

And worse of all, she had deceived him.

She had lied to him even after he had started to soften.

He cursed under his breath and told himself that he would never be so stupid again!

"I will leave Bale until the full moon." Xaden said. "And when it’s time, I will kill him."

The king looked at him suspiciously, not believing what he was saying.

"So after what Bale had just done and almost had you killed, are you going to let him get away with it?" The King asked.

"Yes. I will. For the meantime." Xaden said, then turned to the Queen. "I am done with my investigations. I apologize for keeping you waiting. You may leave when you are ready to."

"What about Alexander? My nephew." The King pointed out. "He died because of your false accusations."

"Alexander was damage control; moreover, it was out of my hands." He said. "He hasn’t been the best person here, so how did you expect me to believe him?"

The King clenched his fist.
