The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: AMBUSH

After the meal, the journey continued, and I remained in the carriage.

They had utterly eaten it all up and seemed to like it—more than six of them she had seen licking their fingers.

Some of them had even argued over the food and its share.

Xaden had not eaten it.

When she turned to the carriage window, she saw Erik riding his horse beside her.

He had saved her life.

If not for him, what would Xaden have done to her again?

This time worse, in front of his men.

Her body shivered, and she pushed the thought away.

She took some of her medicine and then rested for a bit.

"Halt," Xaden said.

She froze all the horses, and the carriage itself stopped.

There was silence.

The silence continued for a few minutes, and then I heard footsteps and someone coming down from a horse.

There was a slicing sound as if something had been caught, and then something fell with a loud thud.

"It's a trap." Xaden's voice said. "Rogue packs."

Then, as if on cue, there was a large howling from multiple wolves. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

It was an open ambush in broad daylight.

Xaden had only coke because, just as he had said, what use was I to him alive?

I remained inside, trembling in fear, as I heard the screams of the men slashing. I could listen to body parts being pulled out of bodies.

I hugged myself and kept quiet through the actual noise.

Then, the door to my carriage was quietly opened.

A stranger with crooked teeth and a terrifying face came in.

I gasped and was about to scream, but he pointed a dagger at me.

"If you make a single noise, I'll slit your throat." He warned me.
