The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418: THE TEA

Nanny Nia watched in annoyance as Jasmine left with Lily.

Since she had arrived the pack, she wasn’t fond of Lily.

Lily seemed to be sweet but Nanny Nia had been with a ll sorts of women and children for so many years now, she knew when someone.

And from all the stories she had heard about Jasmine and the things she had seen with her very own two eyes.

She knew better than to trust anyone.

Even Aloha Xaden who had employed her, after the stories she heard and now knowing Jasmine, she was wary of him.

She had been appalled when she had been told to take care of Jasmine.

She had trained and raised high brow children and women of wolf families for over forty years.

Jasmine was not her first and yet Jasmine was her most different.

She had heard enough rumors already.

She was a young girl who despite being a nobody somehow had men cutting their heads in her favor.

So simple and innocent but yet dangerous.

After so much persuasion she had taken the Job as a favor she owed one of Xaden allies.

She had told herself that she would do

her job and steer clear of Jasmine.

Make sure she had no emotional connection with her.

As soon as Jasmine had given birth, Jasmine would be on her own.

But she had come to see a side of Jasmine she never expected.

Gentle, calm and loving.

She had met rude and unruly children of high brow wolf families.

She had expected Jasmine to be a nuisance and as badly behaved as they

Usually were but Jasmine was nothing of the sort.

And so she had become attached to Jasmine.

She had grown to understand and love her.

And most of all she had grown to see that quite a number of women despised her.

So she as almost always ready to defend and protect Jasmine.

Especially now that her pregnancy was more complicated and Xaden was still not yet back to the pack.

Nanny Nia didn’t usually clean the rooms.

She left that for the servants.

But she felt a motherly sense of urge to handle Jasmine personally.

A maid came into change the sheets while she sat reading a book.

"Excuse me." The maid said. "I’m here to change the sheets."

Nanny Nia waved her hand to the girl.

Indicating she could come in.

The girl did and Nanny Nia found herself irritated at how the girl was going on about her duties.

She kept on correcting her over and over until Nanny Nia snatched the bedsheets from her hands and glared at her.

"Just get out!" Nanny Nia ordered the girl who stood confused.

"Words fly around here. And fast." Chef said. "Moreover that can be the only reason why."

"So you’re saying Lily is a threat?" nanny Nia asked closely.

"I never said that." Chef said. "Just voicing my own opinion and what I hear people around say."

Nanny Nia made a mental note of that.

"The water is hot enough." Chef said extracting hot water and putting it into a kettle.

Nanny Nia slid off her high chair and went to the large Island in the kitchen as she began to arrange the tray and tea set for Jasmine’s medicine.

She put in the exact amount she normally went for and added the boiling hot water.

She then very gently mixed it and set the spoon aside.

She started to pick it up when she heard some shouts from outside.

"What’s that noise?" Nanny Nia questioned peeking through the open door.

The noise because louder and chef frowned and went outside.

Nanny Nia considered ignoring but then her mind went straight to Jasmine.

She tried her best to gently put the tray back in the Island and hurry outside to see what the commotion was about.

"What’s going on?" Nanny Nia asked as she went of the door.

Once the kitchen was empty, Lisa slid from the darkness of the hallway and peeped in to be sure that no one was in.

Once she was sure that the coast was clear she gently went in.

She hurried to the island and stood over the brewing tea and gently opened its cover.

She let her fingers fish through her pockets and then brought out a small vile.
