The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: ELEANOR’S BURIAL

XADEN’S POV

Xaden had arranged for all of Eleanor’s body to be put in a small coat and she was dressed in a beautiful white dress.

Loren had sewn her head back to her neck, and if you saw her, you would assume that she was asleep.

Her beautiful long and black hair had been washed along with her.

Even some make-up had been done on her, and all around here, there were thousands of white roses.

Xaden was the only one on the bank of the water.

He had wanted only himself to be present. But then he eventually instructed Marie to be present.

She was her sister, after all.

Marie walked up behind him, Grief-stricken and distraught.

"You came late to your sister’s funeral." He remarked dryly.

"I was never early for anything." She managed. "Even my own birth. It would be a disappointment to my sister if I came early. She would not have wanted that."

"No, she would not have," Xaden said quietly.

As Marie walked to the river bank, she looked nothing like her true self.

Her face was plain and white as it could ever be.

There was no makeup.

Even her dreads seemed sad and hung down on her shoulders in a weak manner.

"You know," Marie said after a tranquil time.

"We fought a lot from the moment we came into this world, leaving mine. I was furious with her that I had followed her here, and she had ended up staying with you."

She sighed and breathed through her dark fur coat.

"We fought a lot. Never on good terms here. But it was not so back home. She always looked out for me, and I did everything for her. I was meant to take her home, but now she will really go home without me." Marie said.

The tears began to spring out once again and she dapped her eyes to wipe away the tears.

"I never got the chance to apologize to her." He said weakly. "I never told her I was sorry or told her thank you for Al the things she did for me. The last time I saw her, I sent her away and told her that I never wanted to see her again. Her eyes were filled with hurt and disappointment. I know she never forgave me. I know she hated me before she died." Xaden said regrettably.

Marie stormed up to him and forced him to look at her by grabbing his cheeks.

"If you are going to say anything do not ever say that!" She warned him. "It she hated you then she would not have come to help you and Jasmine in the first place."

His eyes were now filled with surprise. "She came here when I was gone?"
