The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: AWAKE

I felt something damp and warm on my forehead and stirred awake.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a small room.

I slowly got up and looked around to take in the environment and be sure of where I was.

There was a glowing light in a corner, illuminating the entire room.

A little window hung in the corner, and the room was sparse, with few items inside.

A little bedside drawer and a cabinet.

Where was I?

I removed the little damp cloth from my head and set it on the bedside table.

The last thing I could recall was feeling dizzy after Xaden had thrown my jewelry and clothes into the river, and everything went blank.

Oh no, had I fainted?

I couldn't believe it.

If my father knew that I had been so careless as to faint, then I would be in trouble.

How had I even gotten here in the first place?

I set my feet against the floor and tried to get up, but my body was so weak.

I pushed myself harder, and just as I was about to rise, the door opened, and a woman came in.

"You're awake." She told me.

She walked in with a tray and closed the door behind her.

"I'm sorry, but who are you? How did I get here?" I asked her.

She had curly black hair and seemed to be in her late thirties.

She came to my side and dropped the tray on the bedside table.

"You're still weak." She told me. "You need to rest up a bit."

I shook my head. "No, I need to find Alpha Xaden. You don't know what he will do if he finds me here."

She shook her head. "Xaden was the one who brought you here."

I stared at her in utter disbelief.
