The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: A MAN WITH NO HEART

Xaden turned away the remaining water that he had used to clean off the blood from her arm and set the bowl in the washroom.

He told himself that he was not being kind or caring to her.

She had been foolish to have such a deep cut.

Moreover, it was good news that she had cut herself because that meant that he was not bonded to her the way Marie believed.

He could now quickly sever the bond without worrying if he would die.

After that, he would order her execution and then face finishing up her father.

That was all.

Then why did he feel uneasy? Why did he feel wretched when he thought about her death?

It baffled him.

After all, she had known that the spy had been here to kill him, and yet she had done nothing.

She was terrible, just as bad as her father.

She was lucky that he even took her captive because of what he had not let her endure.

It was only because the Queen had told him not to hurt her, and he had made a deal with her.

He told himself that that was it.

He dropped the bowl aside and when he returned to the bed chambers he found her seated and her head dropping in sleep.

He sighed, seeing how small she was in his shirt and how exhausted she seemed.

Then he remembered that she had been served no food in the dungeon and had chains tied.

He frowned, remembering that the chains were still stuck by her feet.

He very gently set her to lie down on the bed, and then he examined her feet.

The chains were heavy.

When he remembered that it was he who had insisted that she be given the chains belonging to the most dangerous prisoners, he felt a chill.

The door opened, and then Lisa returned with an anesthesia tray.

"My lord." She said as she curtseyed. "Here are the drugs you had requested."

He looked at her. "Are they poisoned?"

She jerked, taken aback by his question.

"No, my lord." She said.

"Take a sip of it." He said. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

He knew Lisa and he knew that if she had not already told Aurora that he was alone with Jasmine, then she would right after she was done with this errand.

Aurora was fond of trying to Kill Jasmine.

He would not be surprised if Aurora instructed Lisa to poison the potion and make another attempt at taking her life again.

Moreover, Jasmine had said that she had cut herself, but how could he trust anything that came out of her beautifully shaped lips?

What if she still had an attachment to him, and then she got hurt, and he would right after?

Thunderstruck, and she jumped.

"M-my lord." She said her lips trembling heavily.

"Drink it." He instructed.

She nodded hastily and then she picked it up and took a sip her hands shaking.

Then she set it aside and he eyed her cautiously waiting for any thing that would give away it being poisoned.

But she stood fine.
