The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: TO THE DOCK

Xaden snapped his fingers and a that caught her attention.

Jasmine finally turned and she saw him.

The guards came up to him.

"My lord." They greeted.

"Why is the prisoner not in chains?" He asked loud enough for her to hear.

She flinched at his words.

The guards looked at each other unsure of what to say to him.

"We did not receive orders that she should be chained." One of them said.

"She is a dangerous criminal." Xaden said. "And she should be treated as such. Do not underestimate her, she can find a way to kill."

The men looked at each other and then they went on to get her chains.

Erik was looking at a Xaden.

Xaden gave him a face. "What? You want ti say tnat I am doing too much putting her on chains? We both know that she is very dangerous and should be taken with wary."

"I never said you were doing too much." Erik replied.

"Good." Xaden mumbled to himself and then he turned to look at the horses.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw his men use very heavy chains on her hands and legs.

"I do hope that we will not have her walking as a means of you humiliating and punishing her." Erik said. "The ship is set to sail and the evening wind will not do us well. We need to get there on time."

Xaden nodded. "She will ride a horse."

"Why not she ride with you?" Erik asked:

"I will not have that traitorous leech around me." Xaden said with disgust and Jasmine flinched at his words.

Then the men began to get on their horses when Loren came.

"We still have Aurora’s body in preservation." Loren said. "We were waiting for you to return so that we could conduct the funeral rites of her and all the other wolves she had killed during the attack."

Xaden himself had completely forgotten about all that.

"You can hold the funeral for her." Xaden said. "I do not trust when I shall return. I might take a while. I shall leave the pack in my uncles hands. He will handle things in my absence since Erik is to come with me. You will give her a befitting burial that she deserves. One fit for a Luna".

Loren nodded.

Then Xaden turned to his uncle uther.

"Uncle." Xaden said. "I need to leave and fight for my parents and for those who were lost that fateful day Bale betrayed us. I need to finish it once and for all."

Uther nodded and gently tapped his shoulder. "I understand son."

"I know that you expected more from me. Xaden said. "Especially being that liky is around. But once I return we shall settle it all at once. And so I leave my pack in your hands. You shall act as my hand while I am gone and I am giving you veto power to make decisions as you will."
