The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: XADEN RUNS AWAY

ERIK’S POV

It was true that despite how much he loved his wife, the gods had not destined them to be mates.

He could hardly ever imagine loving anyone else if it was not her.

He felt whole with her, complete.

Whoever his mate was out there, he did not care for her.

It was this woman who stood before him, standing with her large stomach he admired.

It had also been unique because wolves rarely married people who were not their mates.

The reason why they were advised to marry their mates and have their mating bond click was because a wolf would get stronger:

Because he had just married his mate, he had not even yet unlocked his full potential as an Alpha.

"Forget those dreams." He said. "Nothing is ever going to happen to you. Not while I am here with you."

She sighed. "You have made a promise to me and you are bound by your words and you will never be allowed to break it."

And with that, she hugged him, and everything returned back to normal.

After she had given birth a few months later, Bale had come baring his invitation for Erik to join his pack, but Erik had clearly refused.

Unknown to him, it had all happened like her dream, and after about a week, they were attacked.

She had been murdered, and he had held her dead body in his arms while their baby cried in the room.

It had broken him and he had been haunted as to why he had not listened to her in the first place.

Perhaps if he had not been a coward and pressed for more of her about the dream then he would worked by it.

She would most probably be alive by now.

As the memories came rushing to him, he was overwhelmed by an unpleasant pain.

One he did not wish to dwell on.

And to think that he had disobeyed her wish.

Her dying wish.

She had asked him, touched his cheek, and told her to fulfill his promise before telling him she loved him and Jade.

And then she died.

Since her death, he had not touched a woman.

He frequently went to Loren’s quarters to take some herbs that would suppress his sexual desires.

His daughter was almost six years old now, and he had not touched another woman.

He had withdrawn to his shell and refused to fall in love, because to him it felt that he was betraying his beautiful wife.

Hence why, Xaden’s claims of him betting with his woman had triggered his pain.

Because he had personally decided that having his daughter was enough.

He did not need to sleep with another woman. And he did not frankly care about his true mate.

"We can not find Xaden," Owen said. "He is missing." _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
