The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: BABY OUT OF THE WAY

Lily already expected the words that came from Xaden’s lips and yet she was still surprised by them.

"I’m sorry but that would no longer be possible anymore."

Anna had forewarned her.

Jasmine was a torn in her flesh.

Lily had been raised a sweet and call young she wolf.

She was going to be Alpha Xaden’s mate. She was to be a proper mate and wife.

Mother of his children so she had been raised in the ways of a proper highbrow woman.

Everything had been thrown out of the window without any regard for someone who was not his mate.

For someone who from what Anna had told her, had been a miserable slave.

A nobody .

Lily had been kind to Jasmine at first, even liked her.

But from all that Anna had said and from all that she had seen.

Jasmine was a monster and she was here to steal Xaden away from her.

That was all she was.

And Lily for the first time in her life burned in jealousy, hate and envy that this nobody had everything she had wanted.

Despite how she was the model, the perfect mate.

"Oh?" Lily quietly repspinded to his words.

"I’m sorry that I led you on." Xaden apology. "I’m sorry that I sold that false story to you. If I could take it back, I would".

She was quiet for a while.

"Is there any specific reason why you changed your mind?" She asked him.

"Jasmine wants to raise her child. It was either she did or she ran away with the baby." Xaden said.

"But you could have still persuaded her not to." Lily said. "You’re the Alpha and this is your pack. You can make anyone do what you want."

"Not Jasmine." He said. "Not anymore at least. Before? Probably. But since she got pregnant, she enabled a stubborn side of her I never even knew existed. She would run away. Trust me."

Lily nodded.

She had already imagined raising that baby like her own.

She was going to love and care for it just like it was hers.

But now hearing how Xaden had changed his mind, all she wanted to do was hurt the baby.

She would hurt both Jasmine and the baby.

"I understand." Lily said. "But we are still going to be performing our mating Ceremony. Right?" _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

"No." He shook his head.

It hurt Lily like a difficult blow.

She had expected him to tell her that she wasn’t going to have the baby anymore.

But what she had not expected was for him to tell her that they were not going to be mated anymore.

"W.... Wwww.. why?" She stuttered.

"I don’t think I’m ready to be your mate Lily." He expressed. "To be honest I never wanted a mate after I lost you. Having you back in my life. I never expected it to happen."

"Is this because of her?" Lily asked boldly.

"Who? Jasmine? No." Xaden said. "Of course not. She isn’t going to be my mate. But I have to be present in the baby’s life. It would conflict with you and I don’t want that. Lily you deserve someone who would love you unconditionally."

"I can never do that." Xaden dropped the bombshell. "And I know that is what you would expect of me. I can never give you that."

Lily burned within herself.

She was furious and in rage within herself.

She hated Jasmine.

The hate consumed her with such Fierceness she wanted to enact it out of her.

Lily just sat there with her perfect smile and trying to maintain her composure.

She was a perfect mate after all.

she knew all the right things to say at the right time.

"You’re right Xaden." Lily said. "I want you to love me and I would have loved to have my pups with you. Is there anything I can do? To change your mind."

Lily still had to play the part of the good girl.

She couldn’t let him sense that she now had ulterior motives.

"No." He said.

And then he got up from his desk and walked to her side.

She stood up and he gave her a very warm and cozy hug.

His hands went up her breasts and she moaned in pleasure.

He turned her to face him and then he was kissing her neck, the heap of her bosom and very gently undid the lace of her dress

"Roland." She said as she reluctantly and very gently pushed him away.

She kissed him on the lips quickly and went on about fixing her dress.

"What happened to Roland?" He asked. "Roland just wants a few touches here and there nothing too much to ask for."

"Go to bed honey." She urged as she scooted to the far end of the room so that she won’t have his hands on her again.

She wasn’t sure if she would be able to resist him if he tried again.

"I’m already awake. There is no going back. Where are you going to so early?" Roland asked as he yawned.

He sat up in the bed.

"I have to do some findings on my own." Rose said. "Nothing so important."

"This early?" He asked in disbelief.

She didn’t respond as she wore her earrings.

She heard him sigh and say. "If you intend on investigating more about Bernice then I really think you shouldn’t. We just found out you’ve been poisoned for a long time. The last thing you should be doing is going about your duties."

"I am fine." She pointed out. "I’ll live through it just as I have lived through everything else."

She didn’t want to tell him that she wanted to personally go and see Bernice’s family.

She had made a promise to Bernice to keep her family safe.

Even though the promise was yet to materialize before Bernice had died.

Which meant that even if anything happened to them, she still didn’t break the promise.

Bernice had died before telling her who it was.

And she also hadn’t told anyone not even her husband what she had recently discovered.

"Rose you still need to see your healers to determine how much damage was made on you." Roland complained.

"I said I’m fine." She said.

But she wasn’t.

Her heads were shaking so quickly she was scared it would show.

Someone in her very own home had ordered her to be poison for how many years she didn’t know.

She was going to get to the bottom of it.
