The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313: MARIA’S RETRIBUTION

PRESENT DAY

"So because of you my mother died?" Jasmine demanded tears in her eyes. "All because of your jealousy.

"Your mother came into my life and chose to steal my husband away from me." Maria said. "I only wanted her out of the pack. I did not want to to kill her. That was a mistake."

Jasmine bit her bottom lip. "So what happened when my father returned?"

Maria took in a very deep sigh. "He seemed different. Like something had changed him. He was not angry at me. Rather he was angry at you. It shocked everyone."

Jasmine could not understand any of it at all.

It made absolutely no sense.

He had been overly protective of her mother when she had first come so how had he turned out to be so wicked.

"When he returned he was not so upset." Maria said. "It shocked us all. He did not punish me and I don’t remember much of it. But your father was not so upset as we all expected he would be. It was like a spell had come over him."

Maria touched the side of her wall.

"From that moment, he became evil. From then he was not the kind and gentle man that I knew. HE changed and everyone saw it. So a lot of the people fled from the pack in fear of his wrath. A lot of the stories about him became true. The rumors the tales that parents would spin to their naughty pups about him. Because true."

Jasmine touched the silver bar and gripped it hard and then looked at Maria hard in the eye.

"What you are saying can not be true." Jasmine argued. "My father from the first moment I saw him was wicked. The stories that everyone has about him were wicked tales. Murderous and atrocious. But never for once good. No one. Not even those servants and slaves in our pack have anything good to say about him."

Maria threw her head back and laughed so hard that the entire dungeon halls could hear her voice echoing .

"Ask your favorite Urma. She would yell you the truth." Maria said. "Meet the oldest members of this pack before they were replaced with new ones and they would tell you about your father."

"You tell more lies." Jasmine said to her.

"Why would I lie? What would I gain from lying to you? I have nothing to bargain with you but what I know will be of good use to you." Maria said.

Jasmine took her face away. "You sent a pregnant woman who had done nothing to you and locked her into a dungeon. You killed her with your bare hands."

"I never denied it." Maria said.

Jasmine’s jaw went hard and then she looked around the dungeon.

"Look at this place. This very same place where you had thrown my mother in to die. And now look at you. Atoning for the sins you committed."

Maria looked back at Jasmine. "Yes, but because of that blood oath you swore fealty to me, I shall be set free."

Then Xaden turned to face her.
