The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: XADEN’S BETROTHED

"She is not her father." Rose said. "She is just a girl who needs someone to show her love."

Cherry snorted. "Show her love? That can be anyone else but not you. You’re a queen. You can’t be subjecting yourself to an audience of mere peasants. Mere enslaved people."

"Being Queen means that I appreciate my great or small people. Rich or poor. Omega or Alpha." Rose said.

Cherry shrugged. "Fine. But you have to be careful. When we return home, I will show you how to be a true Queen."

Cherry flicked her black hair. "You were never meant to be Queen, so you weren’t raised correctly."

Rose felt a pang.

A reminder that she was not the true ascended.

"Don’t worry, since it was my birthright. I’ll manage to show you how to handle the ropes of being Queen." Cherry said. "You can thank me later."

Rose gave a stiff smile and then excused herself. "Thank you. I must be on my way now."

And then she left behind the uneasy feeling she had of her sister.

Rose eventually shook it off with the belief that she was just being paranoid and imagining this.

She was happy to have her sister back.

Elated in fact, this feeling was just her being anxious and that was it.

Her guards escorted her as she went to Xaden’s room.

The doors were opened for her without knocking and then she found a half naked Xaden still asleep in his bed.

"Who the bloody hell dares wake me up." Xaden said, frowning at the way they had barged in.

"It’s the Queen." Rose said, announcing her presence before her guards did.

The two girls who were naked in the bed gasped and flushed in embarrassment.

Xaden sat up in bed and scowled, but he was still awake.

He was shirtless, and he had his waist covered in the bedsheets.

"May I have a word with you?" She asked. "Alone".

The girls got the hint, hurriedly escaping from the bed covered in sheets and scurrying out of the room.

"Would Her Majesty give me a few minutes to get decent?" He asked.

She shook her head. "No, that will be very unnecessary. What I wish to discuss with you will not take too long. After all, I am expected to leave for my castle."

He yawned and remained seated on the bed.

He nodded his head, ushering her to say what she wanted to. "I wonder what made the Queen find her way into my chambers. I am all ears, Your Majesty."

His guards ushered a seat for her, and she sat gracefully.
