The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: BALE APPEARS

Jasmine stood just as everyone else watched the wolves pointing their arrows at them.

She swallowed heavily and felt her heart pound so fast it seemed ready to pop out of her chest.

"Jared betrayed us." Xaden swore.

No one said a word.

Not a single person.

Even those at the edge of the wall remained with their arrows pointing at them.

Erik stood behind him.

"Do you want me to give the order?" Erik asked Xaden.

Xaden looked his eyes pointing in suspicion.

"No. We still have the rest of the men. Garrick was supposed to be looking out for the pack." Xaden said. "Where is he?"

"If you are looking for your commander." A male voice said.

Jasmine felt chills in her bones and everything in her wrote fear.

She looked up at the verandah top of the wall and saw that it was none other than her father.

Xaden on his own path gritted his teeth.

"Then he is here." Bale finished.

And with that he tossed a head over the wall and it dropped right at Xaden’s feet.

It was none other than Garrick’s decapitated head.

Xaden looked at him in rage.

In boiling anger and fury.

Bale smiled at him. "You thought that you could outsmart me. For what you did to my son I have plans for you."

Then the wolf council members who had escorted them came to Xaden’s front.

"Bale. This is monstrous." One of the members said. "You need to cease this immediately! You have out fully broken so many rules and disobeyed the order of the royal family. This is treason!"

"I do not care." Bale spat. "This is for me to decide."

"You can not do this! You will be putting an end to your life and all your people! Even if you succeed in killing Xaden then you must be aware that the royal family will exterminate you without mercy."

"There will be no royal family by the time I am done." Bale said.

One of the other members gasped. "What do you mean by that statement."

Bale turned away from responding to them and faced Xaden.

"The way I ended your family is the way I will erase you." Bale promised.

Xaden’s hand clenched in rage at the words that had been used at him.

The reminder of the family he had lost.

Then Bale saw her.

She felt him see through her.

She swallowed.

"I see you have my bastard." He said.

She flinched at his choice of words at her.

"What? You think she is leverage against me? Kill her, do whatever you want with her. She means nothing to me."

It felt like a bomb had been dropped on Jasmine’s chest.

Like a heavy weight had hit her.

He had rarely ever expressed his distaste for her.

This was the first time and she felt horrible.
