The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: FIRST DAY

The woman walked up to me and handed me a dress.

She tossed it at me.

"Get dressed, and let’s be going." She said to me,

I nodded. "Thank you."

She ignored me, and I saw that she had no intention of giving me privacy to dress.

So I wore the dress over my head and stepped out of bed before lining it over my body.

Unfortunately, it was a simple and plain cream dress that showed off my cleavage.

Then the waist line heightened the curves at my waist, and the rest flowed down.

"Well, come along." She said to me, "We don’t have all day."

And I followed her out of the room.

"What’s your name?" She asked me.

"Jasmine," I replied quietly.

"You will do as you’re told." She said. "No complaints. You’ll be punished if I find out you’re making trouble amongst the other workers."

I nodded. "I won’t give you any trouble, ma."

She ignored me and led the way.

I noticed that there were states from the passersby and also whispers.

They all knew who I was, and like the rest of the people I had met, I had already been condemned as evil for what my father had done to them.

I bit my lip and sighed to myself.

She took me to a room. "This will be your room. You will be assigned a mat, pillow, and blanket. There are five other girls in here. You will not give them trouble."

It was a bare room, and then there was a medium-sized cabinet.

"You would put your things in one of the empty cabinets." She said that, and then she eyed me. "If you ever get around to having anything,

She showed me the farms and the healer’s quarters, where I would be eating my meal, and then took me to the kitchen.

She finally took me to the floors where I would be scrubbing.

She handed me a piece of paper.

"This would be your schedule." She said.

I froze.

How was I going to read? I didn’t know how to read or write.

"You are not to waste any time or be seen when your chores aren’t done! Do you understand me?" She demanded.

I nodded. "Yes, ma’am."

She started to leave, but I asked her a question. "When my chores are done, what do I do?"

She looked at me, bewildered.

She hadn’t expected that question.

In fact, I was sure she had expected me to fight and grumble that I couldn’t do any of the work.

"You can rest." She seemed not sure what to say.

Then she turned to leave and stopped.

"Before I forget," she said.

She went down the stairs and returned with chains.

"Alpha Xaden said you were to wear this." She said.
