The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: TAUNTS AND JEERS

I quickly looked down at my feet.

"Good evening." I greeted.

I could feel her gaze on me.

I could tell how much she hated me.

There was no distinguishing factor.

"What are you doing alive?" She asked me.

I looked back up at her.

She seemed shocked to see me.

Then I remembered what Xaden had said.

I had been poisoned.

Was she the one who had done it?

She just gazed over at me.

"How did you get out alive?" She asked me as she caught my dress. "You’re a latent wolf, aren’t you? So that wolfsbane should have killed you."

I just looked at her and wondered how she could so comfortably tell me that she had tried to kill me.

"I didn’t die," I said.

She twisted her face, and her beauty was replaced with a harrowing feature.

"So because you probably managed to get under Erik’s skin to fuck me, now he is your ally, huh?" She asked me.

I was insulted by that comment and drew myself away from her.

I was angry because she had insulted Erik.

Erik, whom I had seen, was loyal to Xaden and would never betray him.

Moreover, the time Xaden had wanted to force himself on me, it was Erik who had intervened and stopped him.

I was grateful to him, and seeing her insult him gave me a sudden surge of emotion.

I looked her in the eye for the first time, facing someone without cowering.

"Why would you suggest such a thing?" I asked. "He saved my life. And I owe him that. Not everyone would have to do something to get something else in return."

The slap landed on my face instantly and sent my face to the side.

"You stupid bitch!" She spat at me. "You have grown wings, huh? You don’t know where you are, do you? You have so conveniently forgotten who you are."

Then she grabbed me by my dress and hauled me to the wall.

"Let me just get this straight into your head. You are here to suffer. And it hasn’t even begun. Xaden gave me the power to make your life miserable." She said. "And I will do that. I will make you pay for everything your family did to me. No one here likes you! We all want you dead! And the pain I’ll give you will be so much worse that you will beg for death."

Then she pushed me to the ground, and I fell.

"Filthy Latent." She hissed.

And then she kicked my tummy, and I held it and howled in pain.

She turned on her heels and walked away, leaving me holding on to the pain that she had inflicted on me.

I managed to rise to my feet and lean against the wall, taking in deep breaths.

I had received worse punishment.

A single kick to my tummy wasn’t going to kill me.

And what was wrong with me?

Why had I faced her that way?

I had never answered anyone back, but why her?

I sighed as the chains clanked together as I walked on.

Then I went out to the land mass, which was the farm.

I cleared the weeds and hoed the soil to prepare it for planting. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
