The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: A ROYAL INTERRUPTION

The man held his blade to my throat, and I could hardly breathe.

I had seen him only once in my entire life.

Back home in the moonlight pack, he had been one of my father’s most prized assassins.

I was only about seven years old and scrubbing the library floors when my father came in.

I had gone to hide quickly because I knew my father did not like seeing me even though I was doing my duties.

A man, almost like a shadow, appeared before me.

He had rich olive skin, skin, and his eyes, I could remember, were hazel.

He was dressed in clothing like something a desert wolf would wear.

"Have you been discreet?" My father had asked.

There was no one else in the room.

The spy nodded.

All through the conversation, I hadn’t seen him talk.

He only bows or shakes his head, never uttering a single word.

His entire being scared me. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

I had once seen him, and even though he stood before me years later, I knew he was the one.

"You were sent to bring tidings as soon as possible, " he told me.

I swallowed, breathing heavily.

"And yet you have not brought forth any to him." He said. "The Alpha is furious at you."

I could feel the sharp end of the blade pointing to my neck and begin to draw blood slowly.

I couldn’t even speak.

"I will release you. And you will answer to me. If you make any mistake in trying to outsmart me, call for help. I will slit your throat." He said. "Do you understand?"

I nodded, knowing that he was not making jokes.

Then he released the blade from me, and I breathed a sigh of relief as I set my hand against my neck and touched the sticky blood.

"Now begin," He said.

I swallowed and looked at him.

Everything about him told me to be scared. Just the same way I had been when I was a child.

"I have been unable to send any messages because I cannot read or write." I expressed.

He just stared at me. "Is this a joke? I told you no games!"

And then he pointed his blade at me again.

I quickly stepped back, and my back roughly hit the wall.

There was no escape for me.

I shook my head. "No, it is not any game. I did receive the message that was sent to me through my bird. But I could not read it. Neither could I write another to send it to him."

He just stared at me.

"You, of all people, should know that I never lived a good life back home. I worked my entire life. I never had an education. There was no point in my life for me to have that."

After a while, he said, "And you did not think to tell the Alpha about this?"

I went quiet.

The spy and I stood for a while as he debated how else to move on from me.
