The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: THE DANGEROUS CONFRONTATION

The next morning, Jasmine woke up with a banging headache.

She pressed her fingers at her temple, slowly rose, and sat in bed.

She decided to go out and get some medicine that would ease the pain when she saw her dress from last night slung on a chair in a corner.

Then, the events of last night came flashing back in.

She shook her head to will herself to forget all that had happened.

She got up and went out of her bedroom.

Loren was already up mixing potions.

"Good morning." She mumbled as she headed to a shelf where she would find some medicine.

"Good morning to you, too." He nodded.

She went on looking for an antidote to her new headache and barely even heard him greet her.

"Someone is in a bad mood this morning." He said as he read his book. "You should be happy. It’s the final and most important day of the ritual."

Her head throbbed more, and then she pressed her fingers against her temple to suppress the pain.

"What? Am I that boring, or you don’t just want to hear me speak?" He complained.

She shook her head. "No, it’s not that. I’m just having a terrible headache."

She closed her eyes in pain, and then she heard him move his chair back before he instructed her to sit.

She was forced to sit down and heard him move through something before returning.

"Here," He informed her, handing her a leaf.

She looked at the leaf in his hand before looking back up at him.

"Take it. Put it in your mouth and suck on it." He said.

Jasmine felt very uncomfortable with the instructions but went ahead with it nonetheless.

She received it and sucked on the leaf, and to her utmost surprise, the pain began to ease bit by bit until it was all gone.

She looked at him. "My headache! It’s gone!"

He nodded. "I’m never wrong; keep that in mind."

Then, he went back to his seat to resume his work.

"Thank you," she said.

He grunted and resumed his work.

"Today is the day of the sacrifice. You should be in excellent spirits." He said to her.

She swallowed. "I heard it’s for giving power to the wolves. But I’m unshifted."

"That doesn’t mean you still can’t benefit from the power." He replied. "Do you know what the sacrifice is for?"

Jasmine almost said she had heard it was about fucking, and then she shut her mouth instantly.

Loren would raise his brows in question and she,she, in turn would be forced to explain who and when she had heard that from.

She shook her head.

"It’s the Alpha finding the maiden with whom he would mate, and together they will release great power into the earth, and every single wolf shall feel it." He said.

So that was how it was done?

She thought of Xaden touching someone else the same way he had touched her, and she felt a streak of hurt and disappointment.
