The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: AWAKE

Early the next morning, I woke up in Xaden’s bed and was then tossed to the side.

I watched as the sun’s rays lit up the room and took a deep breath at how nice it was.

I had never been opportune to view the sunrise from such a glorious room.

The corner I had slept in back in the pack was cold, dark, and lonely.

This was the first time that I had witnessed such a thing.

I stretched slowly, and memories of what happened last night hit me.

I had been so shocked to see him storm off and leave the room.

I didn’t understand. He wanted to be out of sight so fast that he ripped the front door open.

I sighed and turned.

Was I to leave the bedroom? What was going to happen to me? Where would I even go to?

All these ran through me as the already damaged door opened.

It was an older man with a tiny box who came in.

I pulled away, unsure of who this man was. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"Don’t scramble from me, girl." The man said,

He set his box by the bedside.

Then he reached out and touched my forehead.

"How do you feel?" He asked me.

Then, it occurred to me that he was the healer.

"I’m fine," I replied. "You healed me last night. Thank you."

"Meh! It’s my job." He said then that he turned to the bedside and began mixing things.

"Is that Flungen dust?" I asked, taking out the green bottle. "I thought they were extinct."

He raised a brow and looked at me through his glasses.

"How do you know what flint dust is?." He asked me.

I smiled. "I was close with the healer in my pack."

"What was his name?" He asked me.

"Her," I corrected. "Urma."

He grumbled. "That stubborn woman. I know her. Talented but extremely stubborn. You’re a wise girl."

I blushed.

Then he went on preparing the medicine when the door opened.

I thought maybe it was Xaden, but this time it was Erik.

"How are you?" He asked me.

It surprised me that he cared.

"I’m very fine," I said. Thank you. I found out that you saved me. My life is forever in debt to yours."

"Don’t worry, I wasn’t doing it to save you," Erik said. "I was only doing it because Xaden would be very upset if his plaything died."

I shrunk.

It was true.

Xaden had said it.

What use was I dead?

He wanted to keep me alive so he could torture me before he dealt with me.

I said nothing.

Then he turned to the reclining couch.

"Where is Xaden?" he asked.

"He left last night," I said quietly.

Erik looked disturbed, and then he returned to his regular, bland expression.

He turned to the door.

"Was it him that did that?" He asked.
