The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: A DEVIOUS PLOT

CORAL’S POV

Coral gritted her teeth once she had stormed out of her mother’s bedroom.

She fumed in rage.

It had been almost thirty years, and yet her mother had refused to let go of her sister, who had died.

What did it matter?!

It was long ago.

Coral had watched her mother withdraw from her when she was just a child the minute Scarlet had disappeared.

Ideally, her mother would have turned to her; after all, she was her last and only child alive.

But the grief has almost made her mother run mad.

Her mother had seen Scarlet everywhere and had even gone partially insane for a while.

Amid this, Coral had grown up to be ignored and forgotten.

When she finally reached age 21 and was to become the Queen, she discovered that she was pregnant.

It was terrible because there was a curse on the royal family bloodline.

Only those with red hair could ever ascend the throne.

A male or female born into the royal family was sometimes blessed to become ruler if they had red hair.

But in Coral and Scarlet’s case, both girls had been born red-headed.

Scarlet was the first child, so it has been quickly settled. She would be queen.

But then Scarlet died, and then Coral became the queen.

But she had discovered she had gotten pregnant because her hair had turned black on her coronation as queen.

It wasn’t new news that an heir with red hair would have their hair color change to black once they were a child.

It indicated that the child would be born with a redhead, so Coral had lost out on being the Queen by their laws.

It was her daughter Belle who would eventually take on the throne.

But that girl.

She had been the spitting image of her sister, Scarlet.

No. It was not possible.

It could not be.

Scarlet was dead. She, more than anyone, was 100 percent sure of her death.

The girl just happened to look like her late sister and even had red hair.

Plus, that scar was hideous.

There was no way Scarlet could have...

Coral shook her head, refusing even to consider it!

She just needed to ignore the girl.

Her mother was mad, after all.

But then, she still had to be 100 percent sure.
