The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: IT IS JASMINE OR US

Uther and all the other wolves looked up at Xaden unable to speak.

They were even unable to gaze at him.

It was like he was making them bow down to him and only him.

All except Jasmine was compelled to obey him.

Because she stood by his side.

The room was silent.

And then his wolf eyes went back to its normal color and the people around began breathing normally.

Then he looked at his uncle who had disappointment written in his eyes.

"Uncle." Xaden said. "You are my flesh and blood."

Uther turned his face away refusing to look at Xaden.

It hurt Xaden to see his uncle hurt this way.

He was the last tie that he had to his family and yet seeing him refuse to even acknowledge him.

Xaden continued. "This is a decision that I have made. And it will continue to be a decision that I have made. You are not happy with them and I understand you."

He swallowed hard.

It broke him to see him let his uncle down, and also let the first original members of his pack down.

"You stand for this tainted blood." Uther said. "It is her or us. If you insist to chose her side I will not make you deter your choice. But i will not remain here. It is her or us. Make your decision."

If Xaden chose Jasmine that meant that his uncle and his mate Lily, people that he had only seen for less than twenty four hours of the day will leave him.

He barely could remember Lily. They had both been children when he was young. He did not have much relationship with her except for the fact that she was his true mate.

He wondered how the bond of mate worked since he no longer had a heart.

But then he could easily let Jasmine to be handed to the wolves and move on with his family.

He will never have to deal with her again.

After all she had claimed that she had nothing to do with his attempted assassination but had been aware regardless.

He did not believe her, one bit.

She was also the daughter of his enemy.

Everywhere she went she caused havoc.

She was not worth causing a dispute between him and the only family he had.

He could simply let her go.

He sighed and said.

"Do not make me choose uncle." He said.

"It is her or us." Uther said.

Xaden felt her breathing behind him.

He should simply let her go.

She was too much trouble for him.

Then he said. "My decision is final. Jasmine will go nowhere."

Jasmine swallowed heavily and she felt her heart stop.

It was as if she had been hit.

Xaden had first fought his entire family for her, hit a wolf from his own pack against the wall to protect her.

She had not expected it.

She had believed that he would simply throw her out.

He would never chose her over his entire family, even over his mate.

She now felt stupid that she had been so jealous this entire time.

She made eye contact with his mate and then she saw that she had been looking at her for a while.

Not hostile like Aurora and Belle, but very calm.

She began to feel ashamed.

She was separating him from his true mate.

This was wrong. This was so wrong .

She had been jealous for absolutely nothing in the first place.

Aurora too was looking at them and Fiona had been watching her eyes opened in shock.

Fiona now knew who Jasmine truly was and of course she hated.

She felt her heart drop.

Uther’s face was grim.

"You have disregarded not only me, but your father, your mother, your pack and your ancestors for this decision you have made." Uther’s face was cold and hard. "We shall return back to where we came from. Tonight. It is better for us to return to a place of hiding than to betrayed by own kind."
