The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: THE SIREN

XADEN’S POV

MIDNIGHT IN THE CRESCENT PACK FOREST.

"Awooooooooooo!" An Alpha’s wolf howled in the distance.

Xaden, unlike most of the other wolves, was not in his wolf form.

He didn’t need to fight or become a wolf because he was strong enough.

He knew it would have consequences if he turned into a wolf.

Especially since he knew his wolf form was taking a toll on him.

As he walked into the forests, he could feel someone around.

I could smell a wolf in his primitive form.

Just as the wolf jumped on him from right above a tree, Xaden turned right in time and used his sword to slash him into two.

The wolf dropped dead on the floor.

And then two more came running at him.

He bent down on his knee and dodged the first wolf, then used his fist to punch it into the wall.

It cried like a puppy and fell to the ground.

The other wolf growled at him, baring its large teeth at him.

"Come on now." Xaden prompted

The wolf raced up to him, and Xaden bent down so much that the wolf could not tear or attack him with his claws.

Then he used his hands to lift him as he was in midair and haul him away.

The first wolf he had tossed to the floor came running to him, and then he grabbed it with its arm, and in a split second, he strangled it and broke its neck.

The wolf went limp.

Then he dropped it, and the other wolf hauled across and lay struggling.

Xaden walked up to it and dropped his sword right into its body.

It went dead.

Erik came running in his wolf form, then turned back to a human.

"Who are those?" Erik asked.

"I suspect three alphas who didn’t like me very much." Xaden responded as he nudged their bodies.

Erik sighed. "Well, the haunt has begun officially."

Xaden looked at Erik, who stood covered in blood.

"What happened to you?" Xaden asked as he cleaned the blood on his sword with the dead wolf’s fur.

"Company." Erik said. "I don’t like these games. It’s already hurting my back. This running."

"My Goddess." Xaden smiled. "What happened to you? You don’t desire the touch of war anymore."

"You’re the one who pulled me into this."

Erik said it pointedly.

Erik had been one of the most feared Alphas. His name had sent chills down people’s spines, but as the old story went,

He had fallen in love, married, and had a family. Then he decided that he didn’t want to fight anymore.

Xaden wished he could give him back what had been forcefully taken away from him.

The only thing that would appease Erik was Alpha Bale’s death.

He hoped that would satisfy him at least.

"I heard that Alex is leading." Erik said. "Turned the other Alphas against you."

"Who told you?" Xaden asked.

"A little bird," Erik replied.

Erik had strangled a wolf and threatened to take his heart out if he didn’t tell him what was going on.

The poor Alpha had given up everything in a split second, and Erik had rewarded him with a fast death.
