The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: ERIK’S WOLF

"You separated your wolf from your body?" Xaden asked. "For her?"

Erik looked at him.

Disappointment written on his face. "Look at her Xaden. Now tell me if you or anyone sensible should leave her unprotected after what she has been through."

Xaden went quiet.

"I know that you are grieving and this is your way of showing it." Erik began. "But do not let that overcome you or blind you to-

Xaden rose his hands up cutting him right I’d sentence.

"I asked for her needs to be met and yet someone still disobeyed me. He will be dealt with." Xaden said. "But if you wish to stay with her till we make dock then so be it. But you will have her life in your hands. Anything that happens to her will be on you. Do you understand?"

Erik nodded. "I do."

Xaden stood tall like the Alpha that he was.

"I will see to it that the wolf who had disrespected me does not go unpunished." And without taking a look at her Xaden stepped up the ladder and went away.

Ned looked at Erik.

"Keep on working." Erik said giving the go ahead.

The healer nodded and resumed his work.

Erik took a seat and waited for her to come around.

His wolf remained sleeping at the foot of the bed.

And then about an hour later, he had no idea when he had fallen asleep.

He heard low whispers and then a feminine voice.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Ned seemed to be interacting with Jasmine.

She was finally awake.

"The pain will definitely persist but I assure you it will ease over time." Ned said to her.

"Jasmine?" Erik said peeking.

She looked up and when she saw him her eyes lit up in delight.

"My lord." She said with a weak smile. "Do forgive me. I wish I could stand up and pay you your proper respects."

She had even started to get up when he stopped her quickly.

"No that will not necessary." He said. "Text back. How do you feel?"

"Exhausted." She said truthfully. "I can not remember what happened to me."

"You passed out." Ned said. "And the good lord Erik found you just in time to save you. A few minutes away from when I came to find you you would have been dead."

"You save me yet again. Thanks never seem to be enough." She said. "My life is forever indebted to yours."

"That can come later. All that matters is that you are fine." He said as Erik pulled a damp clothe over her forehead. "What do you remember? If anything at all."

She was quiet and seemed to be deep in thought and then she said.

"I do recall that day and night a young soldier would open the door of my cell." She said finally.

"Did this wolf hurt you?" Erik said getting upset.

She shook her head. "No my lord. He just tossed food down the stairs. That was all he did."

Erik gritted his teeth in anger.

"By the Time I will go to see if I was able to eat any of the food, I will realize that it was already smothered to the floor. It was always porridge so you can imagine what good it was. I kept going daily to see if I could spare bits to eat until I finally gave up." She said.
