The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: JASMINE BELOW DECKS

The guard locked her chain.

"Could you a bit more careful please." Jasmine asked. "My wrists hurt."

The guard spat at her feet and sneered at her.

"Careful? You have the tongue you traitor. But your father was not careful when he was raping and killing our women." He said.

Jasmine was tired now.

Everything was out in the open.

Her secret was out there now.

Xaden knew who she was, there was not reason to pretend anymore.

She felt a sudden burden off her shoulders now that everything had happened.

Of course she did not want him to know who she was because she knew he would never understand.

But now that it has all come out in broad daylight there was no point in her hiding her feelings.

She sighed heavily and looked the man square in his eyes. "Yes my father did those awful and horrible things to you and your family. I apologize to you for the sins of my father. Do not punish the child for her father’s sins."

The man looked at her sharply and twisted his beard then before she even blinked her eyes, he put his knife at her throat.

She gasped choking hard.

The blade was at her neck and she was almost cut.

She had to press her head far back so that her neck will not meet her throat.

"You think that I want you here?!" He barked at her. "You think that any of the men want you here?! If it were left to us, you would be dead. And you will die a very painful death. Each man will take a piece of you to atone for those they have lost."

She was breathing so hard and her heart was racing.

"You better thank the gods that Alpha Xaden has kept you alive." The man said. "For now though. You will not be living long when we make dock at the Moonlight pack. You speak about not being punished for the sins of your father." He said. "But you betrayed us. You deceived our alpha."

Jasmine turned her face away.

Then he pushed himself away from her and she quickly put her hand up against her neck to protect it.

She breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

There was blood on her neck.

But it was not so much.

The guard finished rounding up her chains and dropped them harshly.

And then he headed up towards the steps when she stopped him.

"What did my father do to you?" She asked.

He stopped in his tracks and remained standing for a while that she thought that perhaps he had fainted.

Then he finally spoke and when he did, she felt the chill in her bones.

"Your father came to my village." He said. "I was the head of the local pack while we had our own Alpha. He was fueding with an ally pack and because the ally pack had refused to help him in what he wanted, and helped us instead, your father swore revenge."

Then he turned and saw her and Jasmine saw the face of a man who had so much trauma and had seen things he definitely should not have seen.

"Do you know what he did?" He asked.

Jasmine swallowed and tried to think of the most horrible things that her father could have done.

"Answer me." He said. "Do you know what your father did?"

Jasmine breathed heavily. "I do not wish to say."

He smiled and gave a very bitter laugh.

And Jasmine because weary.

"Your father came to my home and then he slaughtered. I did not say he killed or murdered. He slaughtered. Mother and children. The old, soldiers. And his men raped. I was forced to watch as my pregnant wife was killed and brutally stabbed. While I did nothing! He killed everyone in the entire town and left only me. He left me so that I could live through the trauma."
