The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360: NEW ORDERS

Jasmine woke up the next morning feeling much better from the previous day.

She got up and stretched.

Lucky enough she did not feel nauseous anymore and she felt extremely good.

She remembered that she was now assigned a new role in the pack.

She came out of the room and found Loren as usually working on his potions.

"Good morning Loren." She greeted.

"Good morning." He eyed her. "You are looking better than the previous night."

"I feel better." Jasmine said as she sat down. "Last night was something else."

"Erik and Anna becoming mates?" Loren asked as he read through his books.

"How did you know?" Jasmine asked surprised.

For all she knew, Loren was always locked up in this room and barely ever came out.

"The walls have ears. It’s quite ironic that she made you suffer and now she doesn’t just live a life of luxury, but she now has the perfect mate."

"Gods I hate her." Jasmine finally said. And then she sighed and rubbed her eyes. "Am I a bad person for hating her?"

"Anyone would hate her." Loren said.

Jasmine sighed. "Anna does not like working. Hell she has never done any work in her entire life and now all of a sudden she is telling Xaden that she wants to take my new responsibility?"

"It’s to be on his good side." Loren said. "Anyone can see through that."

"Any one but Xaden." Jasmine said exhausted. "He sees her and thinks that she is the greatest gift from the gods and she can never do any wrong in his eyes. I never expected that her and Erik would become mates. You should have seen his face when she said it. Like he didn’t even know about it himself."

Loren shrugged. "If Erik knows who she is, then he wouldn’t want to be mates with her."

"Yeah." Jasmine said absentmindedly. "I have to be on my way. Duty calls. Xaden would use me as a scape goat if I don’t take care of the pack well enough for the arrival of the royal family."

She started to pack her things and leave when he stopped her.

"I heard you were investigating into Louise." Loren said looking through his glasses.

"How did you know?" She asked surprised.

"The walls have ears have ears." He replied.

She nodded.

"That bastard is as corrupt as you would expect him to be. Been trying to turn him to Xaden, but he is very smart. Be very careful." Loren warned.

Jasmine nodded. "I will."

And then she hurried out of the room and went down the hallway.

She was hurrying down the hallway when she bumped into Fiona.

"Hey." Jasmine said looking up at her.

"Hey." Fiona mumbled and started to walk away.

Jasmine caught her and held both her arms.

Fiona’s face was red and puffy and all swollen.

As if she had cried the entire night.

"What happened to you?" Jasmine asked worried and confused.

"Nothing." Fiona said. "It’s the season. I have been having some really bad allergies lately."

Jasmine looked at her suspiciously. "But you were fine when I saw you yesterday."

"Yes. But it just grew on me and last night was so awful. I didn’t have a chance."

Jasmine didn’t believe her.

"I am fine." Fiona gave a laugh. "I was just about to meet Loren and get some medications to feel better."

Jasmine decided that there was no reason why Fiona would even lie to her so she pushed it aside.

"Anyways I have to go down to Xaden’s room. I need the authorization and money to do work on the pack." Jasmine said.

And then at that very moment, Anna came down the hallway with Lisa right behind her.

"Is it any surprise that Lisa has found herself attached to Anna?" Jasmine asked.

Fiona simply sighed

"Jasmine." Anna said when she finally caught up with them.

Jasmine looked at her. "You wouldn’t greet?"

Jasmine then curtseyed.

Fiona remained standing.

"And what are you waiting for?" Anna demanded harshly.

Fiona glared at her and turned to Jasmine. "I would be on my way now. Something rotten just came past. I don’t want to fall ill."

And Fiona stormed off.

Anna’s face was screwed up in disgust. "Harlot. Anyways who even cares about her."

And then Anna turned to face Jasmine.

"I told you I was going to make your life miserable. Now that I have what you want, how does it feel?"

Jasmine was lost. "What are you even talking about?"

"Don’t pretend with me!" Anna snapped in disgust. "I would always be two steps ahead of you. Keep that in mind."

And with that Anna stormed off with Lisa.
