The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: QUESTIONS FOR THE PRISONER

As Xaden led the way and she followed him behind, a lot of things went through her head:

One thing was certain.

She was not going to be able to mention the king to Maria:

Xaden would lose his mind if he discovered that she had kept such a thing from him.

"What are you thinking of?" He asked her.

She jumped. "Nothing."

"You’re silent and musing along with mumbling to yourself." He said. "You are definitely thinking."

She shrugged. "It is nothing important."

"Are you terrified of seeing her?" He asked. "She has been a monster to you. Or did you lie about that?"

"She treated me like I was not a human being. Hated me because I was a reminder of my father’s infidelity. If you think I am lying you could ask everyone else in the pack." Jasmine said exhausted at being called a liar. "I know that I was wrong. I know that I lied to you and kept a lot of things away from you. And I lied about myself. But I had no choice. I had a dagger to my neck. My father would have killed me. I was forced to do what he wanted. Either that or I lost my life. I know you hate me for lying to you and I am sorry for that. I am very sorry. And if I can take it all back I would. But I had no say in the matter and if you were in my shoes you would understand the hell I was in. Who would happily lie to be sent as prisoner to another pack?"

He went quiet and she sighed shocked that she had said that much.

She began to apologize. "I am sorry I did not mean to say that and-

"That is the first time any woman has ever stood up to me and said such a thing." He said quietly.

She decided to keep her mouth shut before she said something that would have him throwing her over the castle walls.

"What are you going to say to Luna Maria when you see her?" She asked him .

"She took my sister away." He said. "After everything. After what they did to my family. She still decided that taking my sister was the right thing to do."

Jasmine went quiet.

It was cruel.

They had massacred his family and taken his own sister as their own.

"I know I have never had the chance to tell you this, but I am sorry about what my father did to you. I truly am." She said.

He gave a weak shrug.

And she managed a smile .

"On the good side, you have been reunited with her and she is open to you." She said. "She seems to want to bond with you."

"I know ." Xaden admitted. "It is sort of awkward. And a bit difficult. I just want to know why they did it."

She sighed to herself and said nothing as he led the way down the dungeon .

She knew this place like the back of her hand and it brought back trauma and hurtful memories.

She had spent nights here.

When Jessica and Luna Maria would torment her and have her sleep in the dungeon with the slightest opportunity.
