The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470: SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION

The air was thick with fury as Xaden stormed out of his room, the echo of the slammed door still reverberating through the hallway.

His chest heaved with pain—physical and emotional—and his fists were clenched so tight his knuckles cracked.

He didn’t get far before a voice called out behind him, smooth and familiar.

"Xaden."

He turned sharply.

Uncle Uther.

The man walked toward him with a wide grin, arms already open for an embrace.

"By the goddess, you’re alive," Uther said, pulling him into a hug before he could react. "I thought I’d lost you, nephew."

Xaden was stiff at first, still caught up in the whirlwind of anger, but eventually he returned the hug.

Not because he wanted to—but because it was expected.

He was overwhelmed with emotion and he knew that they all cared about him.

But all he cared about at the moment was Jasmine.

"I was worried sick," Uther continued as he pulled back to inspect him. "You’ve been gone too long. And when the news came that you were injured... gods, it tore through the entire pack like fire."

Damian and Erik had now caught up with Xaden behind. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Both men stood behind him now—Damian visibly tense, his jaw clenched and shoulders stiff.

Erik said nothing, but his gaze remained locked on Uther with guarded suspicion.

"I tried to do my best while you were away," Uther said, motioning around them with a casual sweep of his hand.

"Kept the pack together, managed the council, gave orders. The warriors respected me. I did what had to be done."

Xaden gave a small nod. "I’m grateful for that, Uncle."

Uther smiled, but Damian scoffed low under his breath.

Xaden turned to glance at him, but Damian quickly averted his eyes.

"Now," Xaden continued, his voice laced with steel, "I’m going to bring her back."

Uther raised a brow. "Her?"

"Jasmine."

Uther didn’t flinch. In fact, he smiled broader.

"Good," he said easily. "Very good. I was hoping you’d say that. She should be brought back home. She belongs here. Especially with the child."

Xaden’s lips pressed into a tight line. "It’s what I should have done in the first place."

"And you will," Uther said smoothly. "I even tried to send men out to look for her when I realized she wasn’t with you. As soon as I found out she wasn’t brought back, I gathered a group of our best warriors. I was ready to send them out immediately."
