The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: STITCHING ERIK

I watched as Alex rose to his feet.

He spat the blood out of his mouth and gave us all a dirty stare.

I expected him to expose me there and then, but he didn’t.

Instead, he stalked off.

And no, he didn’t fix his fly. He left it open, not caring much about anything or anyone.

All eyes turned to me once he was out.

Extremely weak, I sat down on a bench.

He could have ousted me.

I made known his claim about who I indeed was, but he hadn’t.

Worse, he has told me that I will help him kill Xaden.

I put my face in my hands.

I was stressed and tired; so much in my head.

Expectations come from everywhere. First, it was from my pack, and I was to deliver information about Xaden’s activities.

I had not been able to do that because I was illiterate.

Then there was Xaden, who had brought me here to torture me, even though he had no idea that hurting me did not affect my family.

And then there was the fact that I also had to bear with Alex because he had my secret.

Aurora was always staring down at me, ready to make another death attempt.

And then there was Princess Belle, the future Queen.

It was like everyone was out to get me.

I was exhausted.

Someone came and sat beside me, and I was jolted out of my thoughts.

It was Erik.

"I have some injuries." He informed. "You’re the one who is to treat them, isn’t it?"

I had completely forgotten that I was still supposed to treat the men.

I jumped up to my feet.

"Yes, yes." I nodded. "Forgive me."

Then, I rushed up to get the remaining supplies.

He had cuts and marks all over him.

"Thank you for what you did." I said this as I cleaned the wounds.

He nodded. "You’re welcome."

I didn’t know why Erik was pleasant to me.

Even without numbers, he has saved my life.

I couldn’t take that out of my head.

What he always did for me. When should he hate me?

I knew he, too, would have a story about my father.

But here he was.

He was the kindest man I had ever met.

There was a silence as I took care of his wounds.

"Your wounds." I said. "How did you come about them?"

I thought they had said only Alphas were fighting in the forest.

"I fought in the forest. Although I’m Xaden’s gamma, I’m also an Alpha. My pack still belongs to me." He said.

"I see," I said, then continued with the stitches.

I didn’t say anything for a while.

Neither did he.

Then he cleared his throat.

"You know, Alex, don’t you?" He asked me.

"How long does this last?" I asked him. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
