The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: The Queen’s invitation

THE ROYAL PALACE

Queen Rose was in her study going through the new set or rules and orders .

She had specifically requested for all the laws that had been passed since she was out of power.

Now that she had returned she was going through them and pin pointing what she was comfortable with and what she wasn’t.

She massaged her brows as the fire burned hard over her papers.

"Rose."

She looked up and saw Hildegard, her best friend and personal hand maiden.

Hildegard did not refer to her by her title.

They had gotten so close and used to each other that they saw each other as equal women.

The last time she had called her by her title since they were children was when Rose had decided that her sister Cherry come and Join them in the castle.

Hildegard had been so vehemently against it, but Rose was certain that she would come around.

And she did, but they both a maintained distance.

"It’s late." Hildegard complained. "You should be resting."

"I haven’t been through the work of the kingdom for over twenty years now." Rose replied as she leaned back in her chair. "I have rested more than enough."

"You can’t finish it all up this night." Hildegard remarked. "Come to bed."

"Cherry would want to do them and she has done more than enough ever since she returned." Rose said.

Hildegard’s facial expression changed and you could tell that she was displeased.

"I know that you don’t like Cherry but she has doing a lot of work since she returned. Give her that credit." Rose said with a smile.

There was something else, Rose had noticed that something was amiss with Cherry.

She didn’t want to give Hildegard the hint yet because she wasn’t so sure and she knew that Hildegard would capitalize on it.

Once she was certain about it, she would let in on it.

There had been I consistencies with the things she had begun looking into.

For instance Cherry seemed to have some dealing with a distant group of wolves that Rose had personally sent on exile.

She didn’t want to believe it to be true.

Cherry was her only sibling since her parents and younger brother had died in the ship wreck.

But she had been forced to be a Queen and set her feelings aside and sent a discreet Gamma that was good at sourcing out informations.

For now she waited to hear what he had to say.

Hildegard sighed. "If you say so."

Then she handed the letter she held under her arm.

"This came this evening." Hildegard informed.

"What is it?" Rose asked as she looked down at the seal.

It was the crest from the Xaden’s pack.

"It’s from Xaden’s pack." Hildegard said.

Rose opened and read through it.
