The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: JASMINE’S LIFE LINE

Xaden very gently set down Jasmine in his bed.

He had taken her to his room, and Loren and the other guards followed in.

She was still, and then he sat down by her side while Loren hovered, trying to check on her.

Then he turned to the men. "Where is the blade that was used on her?"

Someone handed it, and then Loren went back to examine it.

He looked at Xaden with uncertain eyes.

"I need space," Loren said. "I need a place to clear up, and I need privacy."

Xaden stiffened instantly. "I am not leaving her."

"I did not ask you to." Loren shook his head. "I am just telling you to give me some private time with her. Your presence here is not easing any tensions, I assure you."

Xaden was very much hesitant to leave.

"I will be quiet," Xaden promised. "You will barely even notice that I am here."

"That is not the point." a very frustrated Loren said. "You are waisting time. I just need to be able examine her in much more calmer environment. And that includes everyone around. Including you. This is critical!"

Xaden still did not want to leave her side and then Erik came to him.

"Xaden, we will not be gone far." Erik said. "We will just be by the door. If anything happens, we can easily go in."

But Xaden was still refusing. He seemed as if he had not heard a simple word.

He was just staring down at her, his face a death cold.

"She is dying," Loren said in anger. "And if you continue to disobey me, she WILL die."

That instantly caught his attention as he looked up at Loren.

He began to growl, and his anger began to get the best of him.

Then Fiona spoke. "Xaden, please! You saved me from an attack! Save her by letting him do his work!"

Then, Xaden looked at everyone in the room before looking down at her.

She was already beginning to bleed again from the leaf that had secured her cut.

She was ghastly pale.

He rose to his feet and then very slowly walked out of the room.

Everyone else followed him out.

He did not even move an inch.

He stood by the door of his chamber and leaned his head against the wall, in a daze.

"Just take it easy."

Erik said.

"She was stabbed," Xaden said. "In such a way. By Aurora, of all people. I should Uber known Erik. I should have known that Jasmine was her target. Aurora had never liked Jasmine in the first place. Good goddess."
