The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: GIRL FIGHT TWO!

Jasmine finally released Loren and looked at him with a weak smile.

The one she knew she could manage.

She was sad to see him go, but it was what she had to do.

Letting him go off to confront Xaden will make things worse.

Who knew what next he would do?

Punish him by sending him out of the pack for defying his orders?

She could not risk it.

She gathered her things and finally left the room.

She headed back down to where she knew the servant’s quarters were.

On her way past, she bumped into Lady Belinda.

"There you are," Lady Belinda said, peering over her. You are just the girl I was looking for."

Jasmine curtseyed. "My lady."

Lady Belinda looked at her through her nose and remembered that no one liked her.

They all looked down at her with contempt, and if it was left to them, she would be somewhere in the dungeons, perhaps even worse.

"Master Xaden has instructed that you return to the servant’s quarters." She said.

"Yes, I was just headed there." She responded.

Lady Belinda then took note of the small box she had.

She turned around and headed off in the initial direction Jasmine had been headed.

"Follow me."

Jasmine did as she was asked without question. As they passed the courtyards, she saw the servants passing by whispering.

She knew it was about her, of course, and then the initial feeling of being unwanted came back, overwhelming her.

She had stayed so long with Loren that she forgot what it was like to be rejected by everyone else.

When they finally entered the room, Jasmine saw some serving girls there.

They were seated on their beds, laughing and giggling.

Once they both stepped in, the girls took note of their presence and went silent instantly.

Lady Belinda cleared her throat and looked at the girls.

"Jasmine, under instruction and order by Alpha Xaden, will be staying in this room." Lady Belinda said. "What happened the last time will not happen again. You shall not in any way touch her, or Alpha Xaden will execute you. To cross his orders will be the ultimate punishment. Do you understand me?"

The girls mumbled to themselves and then eyed Jasmine.

"I said, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!" Lady Belinda repeated in a much more louder and authoritative voice.

The girls were forced to reply.

"Yes, Lady Belinda." They replied.

Lady Belinda led her to one of the beds and surprised her by saying. "You will sleep on this empty bed, and then you shall have the little wardrobe to keep your things."

"I slept on the floor last time," Jasmine said. "It must be a mistake."

"You believe that after what you did, you should be meted out with harsher punishments, right?" Lady Belinda said with a brow up in question.

Jasmine swallowed, unable to respond in shame.

"Well, it beats us, too," Lady Belinda said. You should not even be alive after that stunt you pulled, much less be given a bed."

Lady Belinda turned around and folded her arms, looking down at her.

"Thank you," Jasmine said.

Lady Belinda ignored that last statement and then handed her a piece of paper.

"Take this. It is your new schedule, " she informed. You are to strictly adhere to the new rules. If you do not, you will be whipped, starved, or made to serve as entertainment to the male wolves."

Jasmine winced at that one last statement.

Lady Belinda eyed her and rolled her eyes. "Now you seem to be scared? Especially after what your father did to us all? You should be grateful to Alpha Xaden."

Jasmine looked down at her chains.

"And anytime you fail to do as you have been told, I will not be the one to hash out the punishment you will get, but Lady Aurora, and I am sure you know how much she hates you."

Jasmine did not need to be told twice.

"You are to always have your chains on whilst you work." Lady Belinda instructed. "And you are to do as you are told. If you are caught without them, you shall be whipped again. Your chores shall resume later at night ."

And with that, Lady Belinda turned on her heels and left.

The room went silent, and Jasmine saw that all the eyes of the servant girls were on her.

She very quietly turned to her bed and arranged her things into her wardrobe.

She did not know whether the instructions of protection Xaden had given her would make them stop bullying her physically.

But she was one hundred percent sure that they would hate her even more.
