The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 515

Chapter 515: PLEASURE

Amara was still reeling from everything she had heard when Candy leaned forward, her bracelets clinking softly as she reached for the tea pot again.

Her smile was deceptively calm, though her sharp eyes were studying the girl’s every twitch and hesitation.

"You may leave now, Amara," Candy said with a graceful flick of her hand. "You are free to think. I expect you to return with your answer tomorrow, when our guest rises."

Amara blinked, startled by the sudden dismissal. "O.... of course, mistress." She stood quickly, bowing her head to Cherry and Coral in turn.

But her eyes, wide with awe and dread, lingered for a second too long on Coral’s disguised brown hair.

Then she turned and all but fled the balcony, the folds of her simple servant’s dress brushing across the marble floor.

Cherry watched her go with a faint smirk curling her lips. "She runs like a rabbit," she remarked lightly. "But not away from the snare. I know their type. She will come back."

Candy raised a brow but said nothing, merely leaning back into the cushions of her seat.

Coral shifted in her chair.

Her hands had been folded neatly in her lap through the whole exchange, but now she fidgeted slightly, her fingers tugging at the seam of her sleeve. Finally, she lifted her gaze to her aunt. "May I... step outside for a little while? Just to take the air?"

Cherry turned her head and studied her niece with a measured look, as if weighing the request against a scale only she could see. Then she smiled faintly.

"Of course, my darling. Fresh air will do you good."

Coral hesitated for a moment longer, then bit her lip. "But... what if someone notices my hair? I cannot risk being recognized."

Cherry chuckled softly and lifted her hand in a dismissive gesture. "The enchantment is already back in place. No one will see the truth unless I wish it. What they see now is a plain brown head of hair, nothing more. You are safe."

Relief flickered across Coral’s face. She nodded once and rose gracefully. Candy, watching her closely, clapped her hands sharply.

"Liora!"

Within moments, the heavy wooden doors of the chamber opened, and a tall young woman in a fitted guard’s coat entered. Her expression was stern but respectful, eyes sharp and alert.

"You will escort Lady Coral," Candy instructed smoothly, her voice firm as she gestured between the two. "She is to be kept safe at all times. Do not allow her to stray from your sight."

"Yes, mistress," the guard and maiden said together in unison, bowing low.

"A woman?" Coral rose a brow in disbelief. "A woman escorting me as my guard?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Don’t be sexist Coral." Cherry said. "I’ve personally seen Liora in action. And I frankly prefer to any male guard."

Cherry sighed. "Fine. I’ll be leaving then

Cherry gave it with a slight wave of her hand, her expression fond but distant.

With that, Coral swept out of the chamber, the two attendants flanking her.
