The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: ERIK’S AID TO JASMINE

Erik gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." He said.

Ned nodded and then Erik walked up to where the steps back above the deck was.

He stopped at his wolf.

"Stay with her boy." Erik said to the grey wolf. "Protect her."

The wolf sighed softly and then Erik brushed his fur hair and then the very large wolf walked up to where Ned and Jasmine were.

Ned stiffed him when the wolf came up to him.

"He will not do anything to you." Erik answered the question that he knew was already in Ned’s mind.

Ned sighed in relief even though he was still tensed.

"Unless you give him a reason to." Erik added.

Ned became alert and then Erik comfortable that he had delivered his message went up the steps above deck.

He went across the ship and walked by the captain still lying down on the floor.

The men had done nothing to help him and he was most definitely still alive.

"Feel free to help him if you wish to." Erik finally grave the go ahead.

And then he went down to where the cook was.

"My lord." The cook bowed.

"Davis." Erik nodded. "I need you to prepare a meal for someone who is unwell. But enticing enough."

Davis nodded. "Yea my lord. Is it for his lordship Alpha Xaden. Is everything well?"

"Yes all is well." Erik replied. "Just have the new taken down to my chambers when it is ready. How long will you take?"

Davis turned to his assistant and shrugged. "Perhaps two hours; an hour depending on

How urgent it is."

Erik nodded. "Two hours is fine."

Then Erik looked at the assistant. "How trusted is your assistant chef?"

Davis turned and looked at the young girl standing beside him.

"She is efficient enough my lord. A distant relative by marriage." Davis said.

Erik sighed heavily and the he walked up to the girl. "Girl. The food that you will assist Davis in cooking. Do not make that mistake of poisoning or adding some thing to it. Do you understand?"

The girl was a bit shaken but she nodded. "Yes my lord. Of course my lord."

Erik reduced his stance over her and stood back to face the chef.

"Make sure that under no circumstances does anyone take the food that you have prepared. You will bring it yourself along with your girl down to my quarters. No one will assist you." Erik said.

"Not even to assist my lord?" The chef asked with question.

"Not even to assist." Erik finished. "If the food is many the you will lock up your kitchen till you return and carry the rest. You will allow no one but you and your girl in. Do you understand?"

"My lord is there something that I need to know?" The chef asked.

"No. Just do as I have told and do not disobey me." Erik said. "Now do you understand me!"

The chef signed in heavil and eventually nodded. "Yes my lord. I understand."

"Good." Erik said taking a step back.

Erik did not want to risk the men poisoning Jasmine.

They hated her enough to starve her, what could they not do to her.

Yes she was a prisoner but she did not deeerve to die.

He knew that Xaden was blinded by his rage and pain.

If he had a heart he would have said heartbreak .

But Xaden was hurting horribly and he was steaming from betrayal.

He understood that and that was why he was acting the way he acted.

But then again .

From the very first moment Erik had set eyes on Jasmine he has senses something different from her.

She was different and then her actions had shown it.

He had seen how she had taken punishments.

How she had obeyed them and not defied them.

Her story of being taken hostage by an Enemy pack had been off to him.

Anyone who could reason would have seen it.
