The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: THE TETHERED BOND

Early in the morning, Jasmine woke up still in Xaden’s bedroom.

She slowly got up and rubbed her eyes.

When she remembered the events of the previous night, she felt her heart sink instantly.

The serving girl who had been found almost dead in the middle of the room without her eyes in its socket and the Xaden’s small opening up to her.

She wondered if the girl was okay.

She hoped she was okay.

Witchcraft, Xaden had said, but how sure could they be?

And how come she herself had slept off through the entire ordeal without waking up?

The only thing that had set her apart from being a suspect was the fact that she could never become a wolf.

And Xaden had claimed that it was also sneered with the blood of a wolf.

Jasmine thought of how he had told her about what had happened to his family, and her heart leaped for Joy.

He had opened up to her.

It had not been much, but it had been a start.

She wanted to keep it to herself, and then she remembered her father’s warning about how he had told her to report to him and also use Xaden if she could.

She tensed up when she remembered and tried her best to push it to the back of her head.

The doors were open, and Xaden came in.

Her eyes lit up. "Alpha Xaden."

It fell when she saw the people rather than the person behind it.

It was the false witch.

The one who had claimed that the spy had been the one to kill Alexander.

Jasmine’s grip tightened firmly into hard knuckles.

The woman came to her.

Xaden was not smiling back at her.

It was like he had returned to his old self, maintaining a distance from her and hating her.

She eyed the woman with dark dreads as she progressed forward.

"We meet again." The woman said with a smile that Jasmine did not warm up to.

The woman peeped at her hand. "What happened to you?"

Before Jasmine could respond to her question, the woman caught her arm, pulled it to her, and examined the deep cut.

Jasmine quickly withdrew her arm sharply from her grasp.

"Nothing. I just scratched it." Jasmine said.

"Are you certain?" The woman asked.

Jasmine frowned. "Why would I lie?"

"You tell me." The woman responded.

And then she turned away to face Xaden.

"Good morning." She said. "My lord."

He ignored her and then turned to the guards who had followed him.

"You may leave us." He informed.

She assumed that it included the dreadlocked woman, but she was wrong.

It was only the guards and the woman remained with her.

Marie pulled out a dagger and headed towards Xaden.
