The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: PREPARATIONS

JASMINE’S POV

I instantly froze when I saw Xaden and Erik with a little girl on Xaden’s arm.

The girl said, "Uncle Xaden, why is this woman wearing chains? Don’t they hurt her?"

I felt my heart suppress once I heard her call him Uncle.

Why was I worried if she was his daughter? It was none of my business anyway.

No one said a word.

"Huh, Uncle Xaden?" The girl asked, tugging at Xaden’s top.

Then she turned to me. "Don’t they hurt?"

I gave a weak smile. "No, they don’t, dear."

She frowned as if she suspected I was lying. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Xaden was staring at me.

I hadn’t seen him since the night before when he had saved me from the other girls in the room.

He had steered clear of me; from what I saw, he didn’t want me an inch around him.

"Jade, why don’t we let Uncle Xaden talk for a minute?" Erik said, breaking the silence.

"Okay, Daddy." She said this as she extended her arms to Erik, who took her in his arms.

Daddy? Now, I could see the resemblance. He was her father.

If he was her father, where was her mother?

She was such a beautiful girl.

Together, they left.

I started to walk away, but Xaden caught my arm and spun me back.

"The Halo festival is happening." He told me.

I nodded. "Yes, I’m aware."

"Good." He said. "Then you must know that every pack will be here."

What was he getting at?

"Your mate’s brother would be coming along." He said,

My heart stopped instantly.

No! It couldn’t be!

My face must have been stricken pale because he smirked and said. "So you still grieve for your lover, whom I killed?"

If only he knew.

I wasn’t worried about the fact that Dean had died but about the fact that his brother, Alexander, would arrive.

And his brother would know that I was not Jessica.

Everything would be spilled out in the open.

Xaden would kill my pack and then kill me, but only after he had tortured me.

He caught my chin and forced me to look at him.

"Since they would be here." He said. "You’re going to put on a little show for us."

"S-show?" I stuttered.

"In front of everyone." He said. "Don’t worry when the time comes. You will see."

He pushed me away and then started to leave, but he stopped.

He turned to me and said, "By the way, If you think that you’re going to escape with him, then I will show you that what I have given you isn’t even torture."

And with that, I was left standing there.

I held my chest and felt myself sweating.

This wasn’t good.

What was I going to do?
