The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: IMPOSTOR

I started to deny it quickly.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said.

I had never lied in my entire life. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

But I had to do it this time.

"You can't lie to me, girl." She said. "I can see through you. He wanted someone else, not you."

How had she known? How? No one knew, at least.

Or did someone already know and then tell her?

My head was racing.

"No one told me." She said it as if she were reading my mind. "I'm a seer."

I looked at her point-blank.

I had heard of wolves who could see into the future but assumed it was a myth. Or I could see someone and instantly know anything about them.

I dropped to my knees despite the burn in my thighs.

"Please don't tell him who I am," I begged at her feet. "He would kill them. Please. I will do anything you want."

The tears were flowing.

She drew me up to sit on the bed and gently lay my head against one of the standing pillows.

"Sit down, " she urged me. I told you not to get up."

I shook my head. "No, please. You don't understand. Back home, they are my responsibility. If I don't keep up with this, he will kill them."

"You are not anyone's responsibility!" She snapped at me in rage.

That surprised me.

She had been so soft-spoken; seeing her snap at me angrily took me aback.

She took a deep breath. "You look after everyone who looks after you? Jasmine, you are no one's responsibility except yours."

"How did you know my name?" I asked, bewildered.

"I'm a seer. I told you that already." She said.

"Oh," I mumbled, feeling foolish. "I'm not very intelligent."

She gave an irritated sigh. "Goddess Jasmine. If you are anything, it's intelligent."

No one had ever told me I was intelligent before. I rarely got compliments.

Except for Urma, who had always said I was brave.

"You just look out for everyone." She said. "I've never met anyone like you. You're different."

I gave a weak smile. "Yes, I'm an unshifted wolf."
