The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486: THE INTERROGATION

Anna had a very tight and fixated smirk on her face.

It was an expression Jasmine knew too well.

She had seen it so many times when Anna had done something mischievous, when Anna had put her into trouble, or when she had just set a trap for Jasmine.

It was a smile that she had seen on her face during the numerous times she got punished for something she was falsely accused.

And Jasmine now became afraid.

She became terrified.

Something was wrong.

Something was terribly wrong.

And she doubted that it was not just the fact that she had left without anyone knowing, but something more.

She looked away from Anna and saw Nanny Nia along with Fiona standing to the left of the court room.

Her eyes widened with hope at the sight of both women.

She felt her heart break in tiny pieces.

Leaving Nanny Nia was one of the worst and hardest things she had ever had to do.

She had missed her so much and when she had been taken hostage she wondered if she would ever see her again.

She wanted to race and hug her.

Nanny Nia looked like she wanted to do the same.

As if Damian knew she was going to, he gripped her arm and kept her firmly in place.

"Don’t try anything stupid." Damian sneered at her.

Jasmine felt a shudder.

Erik hadn’t noticed Damian’s sharp words, so she brushed it off and forcefully pulled her eyes from Nanny Nia mad Fiona and her gaze found Xaden seated at his throne.

She felt a wave of pleasure and happiness over her.

It was true.

He was here and alive and well.

All except for the bandage that he had attached to his arm.

But Hunter had been right.

Xaden was fine, home safe and sound.

So Hunter had told the truth, didn’t lie about her getting home safe and Xaden already waiting for her.

She instinctively put a hand on her tummy and said a silent thanks to the goddess herself.

He was furious with her and going to punish her and she would take it whole heartedly now that she knew he was safe.

As she approached Xaden’s chair, she noticed his demeanor was different.

He seemed broody, dark and unassuming.

He was rested against the throne so callously, as if he had given up hope.

Her heart raced and she felt her pulse rising.

Soon Damian gripped her arm putting her to a stop.

The entire throne room was silent and not a single word was uttered.

She looked up at him and he gazed down on her.

She felt as though he could see right through her.

She was about to speak when Xaden opened his hands.

"The letter?" Xaden said coldly.

She hadn’t heard his voice in so long.

Erik picked out the letter from Damian and handed it to Xaden.

Xaden opened it and read it closely.

Then he looked back down on her.

He leaned back down in his chair.

"Xaden I-"

"Search her things." Xaden instructed shocking Jamsine.

Jasmine’s lips dropped open.

Two of the guards who had escorted her from the gates, were holding her belongings.

Damian turned around and began to search through.

Erik stood aside.

"Why are you searching my things?" Jasmine asked puzzled and confused.

No one answered.
