The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: XADEN’S MOTHER

As Jasmine and Kire were below the decks now all the danger was gone.

The ship was sailing much better and even though it was night time she lay down on Erik’s bed awake.

Kire remained down at her feet sleeping comfortably.

She simply looked up at the ceiling and touched at her emerald necklace.

The only thing that had ties to her mother.

She held it close to her chest.

She did not even know her mother’s name.

She knew absolutely nothing about her and it made her feel horrible.

The only true family that she would have ever had.

But she wondered still.

How was it that her mother had fallen in love with Bale.

Who was such a monster! Did she not know the awful things that she had done?!

It baffled her and drove her in sane.

Because she felt that if she knew about someone as bad as her father she would never fall in love with him.

The only account that Urma had given her was that one the entire pack had called her red.

She was kind and everyone loved her.

And she also said that Bale had not forced himself on her.

He had allegedly been very gentle with her and even to the view of everyone including Maria.

So why?

Why had she let him.

How had she fallen with even.

It made no bit of sense to her. None at all.

She heard the door pull open and then she became alert.

Kire was already up at his feet and began growling.

She watched as the legs of the person came down the steps and then she saw it was Xaden.

Kire was still growling at him.

"Calm down Kire." She said gently touching his fur to ease him down.

Then she looked back up at Xaden. "He won’t hurt me."

"Who said I won’t?" Xaden asked.

She looked at him in surprise and then Mire growled again at him. This time more aggressively.

"Calm down." Xaden said coming closer. "I will not hurt her. I was only joking. Well for now at least."

Kire kept on growing at him and then growling but he decided it was safe enough to stand aside.

Eventually Xaden went and stood towards where Erik had sat.

"May I sit?" He asked.

She nodded even though she was just as aware and alert of him as Kire was.

He sat down and then the tension seemed to be strained and uncomfortable.

Kire was still alert.

"Erik is your second in command." She said. "Why does he not obey you."

"Separted wolves tend to do what they want to do." Xaden said. "And if the first command Erik gave him was to watch over you, even I being Erik’s Alpha would not deter him away from it. And sometimes too, Erik himself might try to turn him away but he would not. He is Erik’s mind yes, but now he has a mind of his own."

Jasmine looked down at Kire and resumed rubbing behind his ears and he began to calm down.

"Have you ever had your own wolf separated from yourself?" She asked him.

"No." He said.

"Even as an Alpha?" She asked in surprise.

"Even as Alpha. It is complicated. Erik is one of the few hybrids to exist. He can execute things that other alphas can not." He replied.

"Why are you here? You hate me. Or do you

Intend to kill me?" She asked him.

He rose up from his seat and for a split second, she thought he was going to hit her or do something worse.

But he Simply went around towards where Erik’s things were and looked through his wine cellar.

"Kill you? Not yet." He said.
