The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: STILL ALIVE

Xaden watched in horror as she dropped down to the ground.

He just looked down at her in horror, unable to even utter a single word.

And then it hit him.

It was like everywhere became faint, like he wasn’t hearing anything at all.

It became a daze all in slow motion, and yet it was all happening too fast.

He set Aurora’s body aside and went to Jasmine.

By the time he grabbed her and set her on his thighs, it was like it all hit him, and everything came flashing hard on him.

"Jasmine." He said. "Jasmine, wake up."

He rubbed her cheek and held her close up to him.

Her eyelids were dropping in half.

They were blinking open and then closing.

"Yes, stay with him." He said. "Stay with me."

She was just looking up at him, and then they started to close back.

"No, no, " he said, shaking her. "Stay with me, Jasmine. Stay with me."

His entire being was shaking it was like every fiber in him was going.

It was now like he was so overcome with grief and fear of losing her.

And no, it was not because they were tethered together but because he cared about losing her.

He did not want her to die.

For the first time since he was a child, he was terrified; he was scared.

It was like he was back in that awful place when he had hidden in the closet as a child.

"Jasmine, please." He begged as he cradled her to him.

But her beautiful eyes were not fluttering anymore; instead, they were now

Close.

He did not see the men gather around him from behind.

"Xaden." Someone said.

But he was not hearing anything. All he could think of was Jasmine in his arms.

Then, there were some hurried footsteps that went down over Xaden.

It was Loren.

Loren reached out to her, quickly put his hands through his little box, and pulled out a leaf.

He quickly pulled out the dagger and then he put a leaf over it.

It completely clasped her bleeding chest and stayed still.

Loren felt her pulse. "She is still alive. But she is dying."

Xaden looked at Loren, his eyes already a bloodshot red.

"You must save her," Xaden said.

Loren’s face was solemn and weak. "I will do the best I can."

"You will save her!" Xaden commanded him.

"I can understand your grief, but we are wasting time discussing this," Loren advised him. "We have to take her up to my quarters while she is still alive."

But Xaden did not move. Instead, he was still holding onto her so firmly.

He started to shiver.

His wolf began to wake up, and he just went on howling.
