The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507: XADEN’S TURMOIL

Xaden sat at the desk of his study going through scrolls and territory agreements.

He had been sleeping here since Jasmine’s miscarriage.

He couldn’t bring himself to return to is bedroom.

He knew it was superstitious but he felt haunted by the ghost of his dead child.

She had lost the baby in his bedroom, in his bed.

Also one of the many places he and Jasmine may have conceived their child.

He put his fingers through his hair and raked his head, the more he thought about it.

So according to Marie the baby was his.

Not Hunter’s but somehow Jasmine still had had an affair with Hunter.

None of it made any sense to him.

Why would his sister lie?

What would she gain by lying about Jasmine and Hunter?

Moreover there had been backing from other members of the moonlight pack ebi had admitted that Jasmine had had a scandal with Hunter.

Not just that, his mother’s stolen jewelry in her bag.

The letters.

Everything.

It was too much for him.

"Fuck!" He swore as he slammed his fist down on the table.

None of this made any sense.

He was torn between punishing her and taking it easy on her for losing their child.

There was this gnawing feeling of guilt deep within him.

He still didn’t know what sex it was.

He was distraught, confused and exhausted.

If only she told him the truth.

If she was simply honest with him about everything.

He would forgive her.

He couldn’t shake the godforsaken feeling of her being trapped in that room screaming for help till she bled.

He shivered.

The worst parts of it?

He was mourning and filled with grief he couldn’t express because he was a man.

He was the Alpha.

He was a leader and there was no open doors for him to deal with his grief.

So he handled his pain within and shut the world out.

Refusing to let them see that he was dying in the inside as a repercussions of his actions

He rubbed his eyes and itched his brows.

The gods were after his life.

He heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." He ushered in.

None other than Erik appeared.

Erik walked to Xaden’s desk and stood over him.

Erik screwed his face up.

"You smell terrible." He looked around. "This entire room smells dreadful."

Xaden rubbed his face ignoring him.

And it infuriated him only further. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Xaden rubbed his eyes and then set his hands on his waist deep in thought.

"How the fuck does someone who causes such damage just disappear into thin air?" Xaden asked himself aloud. "He didn’t eventually kill me. He didn’t kill Jasmine so what was his mission? What was the reason for his attack?"

"I don’t know. We can’t tell for now. We will still send omega scouts to find out more." Erik said. "See what we can find."

Xaden said nothing.

"And the letter from the royal family requesting your presence." Erik stated. "Are you going to accept it or not?"

Xaden took in a very deep breath.

"I accepted." Xaden said. "Perhaps the change of environment would do us all good."

Erik nodded. "So when are you leaving?"

"In two weeks." Xaden stated.

"Is Jasmine going along?" Erik asked.

"The Queen requested specifically for her." Xaden said and then he walked to the window and stood. "Erik what happened? Why are Fiona and Anna fighting over you? What did I miss?"

Erik’s face became grim. "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

"Your love life is really none of my business. Do whatever you want. But keep your head straight. You can’t have Anna as your mate and have Fiona as a side piece." Xaden said blankly. "How long has this been going on?"

Erik said nothing for a while. "About three months after Fiona first joined the pack."

Xaden groaned in annoyance.

"Hiding more things from me." Xaden said.

Erik said nothing.

"Anna is my sister and Fiona equally is. I won’t have you playing with their hearts. So you better decide on what you want. And u have no idea how you’re going to go about it. But you had better not break any of their hearts."

And Xaden turned his back on Erik signifying that he was now done with this conversation.

Erik sighed and left the room.
