The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: AN AGREEMENT

They stood waiting for the Queen to command them to attack Xaden, but she waved her hands down, indicating that they should drop their weapons.

They did so reluctantly.

"And I have said that I am certain that she had no hand in what happened." She said. "She was aware, yes, but she didn’t try to kill you. Xaden, you are much wiser than this. Why didn’t she deny it all from the beginning? Why accept one and then deny another?"

"Because she wants you to believe her. She wants her sympathizer to think like you’re thinking, Your Majesty." He said. "Your majesty, when my entire family was being massacred, you did not say a word. You had the power to stop it, and yet you did not."

The Queen went quiet.

"I remember you visiting us when I was only a child." He said. "You were my mother’s friend, and then, yet you let her be murdered, let my entire family be killed senselessly without a fair trial."

She hated being reminded of the past.

"Xaden, the past is the past." She said.

He would never understand the truth if she had explained it to him.

"Your mother was my friend, and I wish I could stop what had happened to her and your entire family." She said. "I swear it. But we can not look back."

Xaden held the sheets in anger.

"The only thing I will do is look back, Your Majesty." He said. "This is my pack, and you do not have a say here. You will not

Interfere. I am ready to go to war with you."

She saw how hard he was, and she did not blame him.

Her guard stood ready to attack, and she had to wave her hands down again for them to relax.

She sighed.

"What will you want?" She asked him. "I will owe you a royal favor. Whatever you want shall be given."

She took off her ring and showed it to him.

"You know what this is?" She asked him.

It was made of wolf bones and, if handed to a nonmember of the royal family, meant one favor: a debt to be repaid. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Take it." She said. "You will let Jasmine live and free her from sleeping in the dungeon."

He looked at it.

"She will wear the chains wherever she goes." He said after a while. "And she will be subjected to merciless hard labor."

"She will be given some hours to paint." She said to him.

He looked at her in surprise.

"Paint?"

Rose smiled. "She has a rare talent that needs channeling. You will give her this opportunity. That is my agreement."

He was quiet for snails, but then he finally accepted it.

"I agree." He said.

And then he received the ring.

"I also have another proposition for you." She said.

He frowned.
