The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: ELEANOR’S COMFORT

It surprised all of them, but they were all quiet as if they silently agreed.

Eleanor sighed. "So what are we going to do now? I might find some rare herbs and go through my magic book to see alternatives we have to revive her."

Marie shook her head. "No, there is no need for that. We might not get anything on time. Those books are outdated. So I sent Xaden and his men to the isle of Lycanthrope."

Eleanor’s eyes widened.

She, too, knew a lot about the island because the people from her original home were alive when the things had happened, and the goddess herself had sent her people to punish the Lycans.

"No one makes it out alive," Eleanor said.

"A few have," Marie remarked dryly. "when they first expelled them after the curse, a number of Lycans escaped, hence why we now have Lycans in our world today."

Eleanor shook her head. "You know what I mean. Barely anyone escaped, and they only survived because they were pure, and the goddess had decided that they could be freed. That was the only time they had made it alive. No one else has tried to go and made it alive."

"He went with Erik," Marie said. "And you know that Erik is a true Lycan. He had been a young boy when he had escaped with his mother. He remembers, and He will make it alive. You underestimate Xaden too much. He is much stronger than you believe him to be." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"And that is what I am afraid of because certain people took advantage of him and lured him with worldly things. Deceiving them for their own selfish benefits."

Eleanor was talking about Marie’s use of dark magic on Xaden in his quest for revenge.

"I am not the best person. I might have never been the best, in fact, and I have never denied it, but I want Jasmine alive, too." She said.

Eleanor scoffed as she folded her arms. "You. I know you like the back of my hand. You do not help or give freebies you only do things for your own benefit."

"Come on, sister," Marie said, tossing her hair over her shoulder and laughing. "What do you mean by that? Do you think you are the only good one? And that I am not capable of any good."

"Sister?" Fiona said in shock. "You two are sisters?"

"We were. Only a long time ago. That is why I know her well, and she is not to be trusted."

Eleanor said.

Marie sighed and got up to her feet. "Look, you said it yourself, did you not? Fine, you got me. I do not help unless it is for my gain. Jasmine and Xaden are tethered together. If she dies, he dies, if he dies then she dies. Either way, if something happens to either of them, then it will affect the other."

"And this was about Jasmine". Marie said. "He almost went mad."

"So he will get the cup and return in time for her to live?" Eleanor asked hopefully.

"That is the plan." Marie said. "I will not kill Xaden. Not when he is extremely important to me. He has something that I will collect one day. He and Jasmine and I assure you that I will never bring him in harms way."

Eleanor did not care to ask why she wanted to collect from Xaden.

What she wanted to know was how it had happened.

"If someone wanted to kill Jasmine. Someone possessed Aurora to attack Jasmine and kill her." Eleanor said wisely. "What did they aim to achieve? What gain would make them go this far."

"I believe that whoever did it wanted Jasmine gone, but not Xaden. Most people , if at all anyone out of this room is aware of their bond." Marie said.

"Aurora hated Jasmine, but she would never have betrayed the pack and killed anyone in it," Eleanor said. "Not even with the wisdom that Xaden would end her life if he discovered what she did. She knew better."

"Wel, let us hope and keep watch that whoever came to get Jasmine will not return to finish their work," Marie said
