The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: CHANGE OF HEARTS

She was breathing so hard as she felt the blood on her face.

She was shocked, dazed and confused.

Everything that bad just happened.

It made zero sense to her.

He said that he was not her father.

What did that even mean.

It was as if he had been fighting with his own self.

When he had had the opportunity to attack her, why didn’t he?

And what did he mean that she should not follow the King?

What King? They had only one king and that was King Roland.

Was it he, he was referring to?

What did he mean that she would bring eternal doom?

Her father Bale was now truly dead?

She felt like her mind was about to explode into very tiny fragments.

She felt a hand touch her shoulder and she came crashing back down to reality.

"Hey."

She jerked and then Xaden caught her before she fell down.

"It is okay." He said.

She was still staring at him.

Still trying to gather her thoughts and understand what was happening.

He helped her stand well and then she gently pushed his hand away.

"I am fine." She said as she proceeded to stand on her own.

He let her go and then he pulled out a hankie that he had obviously had in his pocket and used it to wipe her face clean of the blood.

She collected it from him and did it herself as she was still dazed and confused.

"How do you feel?" He asked her.

She shrugged. "My father’s blood is on my face and his dead body is divided into two on the floor right at my feet. I am not sure how I am supposed to feel."

Xaden looked at her skeptically.

"Did he tell you anything? Did he say anything to you at all?" He asked her.

She looked up at him with her big brown eyes.

Unsure of what to say and then he sighed heavily.

"You need to have a bath and rest. It is over now." He informed her.

It was all over now?

Was it truly?

She was angry with Xaden for killing him at the moment where he had almost told her something very important.

She was tired and exhausted and she started to think that maybe having a bath would make her feel better.

So she nodded reluctantly.

And headed away from the other guards and everyone else.

She went back to her previous room where she slept at the kitchen and for a few minutes it brought back haunting memories.

Brought back trauma at the back of her neck.

"So you really had a rough childhood."

She turned and saw it was Erik who was leaning by the door of the kitche watching her.

"I did not hear you come in." She commented dryly.

He gave her a smile.

"I have a penchant for appearing and disappearing at will." He said. "It is one of my many techniques."

"And Kire?" She asked. "How is he?"

"He is fine. Being stubborn. I have tried my best to absorb him back into my body as my wolf." He said. "But the little monster would not even agree to that. He still wants to hang around."

"Does that have any serious effect or impact with you?" She asked.

He shook his head. "No not really. He can still do the things I want him to. I am his master. But then for some personal reasons that he has, he does not want to merge back with me. At least not yet."

"If you are his master then can you not perhaps simply make sure that he comes to join together with you? Order him?" She asked.

"I could." He said tasting a dried fruit from the kitchen table. "But that can be risky. It can turn me into a deformed and crippled wolf."

"Well that is better than being an unshifted wolf. Anything is better than being an unshifted wolf:" she laughed bitterly.
