The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: XADEN BANS FIONA

Lily stood standing there, unsure of what next to say to him that would convince him to be with her.

She had been, of course, humiliated that he chose a slave over her and not just any slave.

But the daughter of the man who had murdered them all.

Murdered her mother and sibling, the one who had separated her from her fated mate.

She hated her.

She was a treacherous traitor, and it shocked her when she saw Xaden take her side openly.

Since she had returned, he had hardly had the time to entertain her.

She had been with her maids in waiting, and she had been still perfecting her skills as his wife and mate-to-be.

But throughout all the time she had been here, it had been chaos after another.

The complete slap to the face was when he had made a dangerous journey of no return to find a cure for her.

Lily had had to be her respected womanly self.

She had been forced to control her feelings and be poised and understanding as any wife and future Luna would be.

But when she discovered the scandal of the girl being a traitor, it relieved her.

There was no way he was going to keep her around anymore.

He would definitely kill her. It was known that the punishment for treason was death.

And now, he was, still being withdrawn and telling her she deserved better.

Like hell she did!

She came to make her claim and take her rightful place by his side as his Luna.

That was all that mattered.

"I do not care about those things." She said. "I believe very well in our old religion. We were set to be together by the gods. That was not a mistake. The gods never ever make a mistake. What else could go wrong?"

"I am not a man who can love Lily, " he said. You have to understand that first. There is no aspect of me that lets me love."

She touched his cheeks desperately. "I do not care; we will work it out. You and I, the gods made a way for us as a second chance. We were once separated years ago, but fate has brought us together, and nothing shall stop that."

He sighed and looked at her. "I am not the man that will give you what you want."

"But you are the man that I want." She said looking into his eyes. "You are the man that I need. I am here to be by your side and I shall not leave you in this dire moment when you need the most. When will you understand that my lord?"

He eventually gave in with a deep sigh.
