The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: URMA’S GOODBYE

"What?" Jasmine repeated and blinked heavily. "Are you sure about what you are saying?"

"Yeah. I am." He replied.

"Why would you say so?" Jasmine asked. "How would you know that she did not love him back? Did she do something? Or did she tell someone or say something that made you suspect that she loved someone else."

"What? You think because I am old I wouldn’t know when someone was in love?" He asked her.

Jasmine put her hand on her forehead and shook it. "No. That’s not what I mean. I just mean that. He is my father. You are telling me that my mother was in love with someone else."

"Look I might be wrong." Dave rose his hands up. "But it seemed different. He adored her and then yet she loved him, I believe in the best way possible. But her heart seemed to be with another. When we found her in the forest and took her, you could see that they already knew each other from somewhere else."

Jasmine swallowed hard.

The stories were all a mix now. Confusing to her.

She massaged her temple and then it hit her.

At that very moment she had an epiphany.

"How many months was my mother when she gave birth to me? Seven right?" Jasmine asked as she made some calculations in her brain.

"Yes." He replied .

And then she began to pace, her hands on her waist. "And how many months pregnant was she when she moved to this pack?"

Dave shrugged. "I don’t know Jasmine. Look this was a long long time ago. The memory is almost fading."

"Just give me a rough estimate. It does not have to be so precise." She said.

He scratched his head and shrugged. "I don’t know maybe three or four months. She barely showed. Even in her last days the stomach was not so vivid."

She paused and thought very hard. "I heard some things that he was a good man. That he was kind before he became cruel."

Dave sighed and gave a light smile like those words had sent him down memory lane.

"The best. There was no one like him." Dave said. "But then after your mother died, something in him broke. It was like he was under a spell. He became a monster. He just changed and no one knew why."

"I can barely imagine him being a good man." Jasmine admitted.

Dave laughed. "If he wasn’t how do you think he was friends with his allies. How do you think he got to be best friends with Alpha Xaden’s parents."

And then Dave’s face fell. "Some said it was because your mother died. That could have been it. But...."

"But what?" Jasmine asked closely. "You don’t believe it."

Dave shrugged. "My opinions don’t really matter."

"You would be surprised how much they do. Please." She begged.

He sighed and said. "It could have pushed him. But it was more than that. I don’t know. It was like he was under a spell."

And then Jasmine remembered what Maria had said about stitching dark magic in his favorite tunic.

But Jasmine made no mention of it.

Jasmine nodded. "My father Bale was for about a year in the Royal Kingdom. Right? I remember this because Urma used to tell me stories of him working there."

"Yes that’s true. But that has nothing to do with what we are saying." He said.

"But it does." She said as she snapped her fingers and her eyes glowed like diamond.

She laughed .
