The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568: A MISSING GRANDPARENT

"Your majesty?" I said startled.

"Your bosom." The Queen pointed out. "You seem to be very uncomfortable with your necklace there."

"Oh." I mumbled. "I’m sorry."

For some odd reason or the other, the necklace seemed to itch.

Since I got into this pack, I had been uncomfortable with it and now it itched.

It had never happened before, not once.

I gently touched the necklace as the pendant was settled in between my breasts.

"It was a gift from my mother." I explained.

The Queen rose a brow. "Your mother? I had no idea your mother was alive."

"She uhmmm...." I began. "Yes she was. She died after giving birth to me."

The Queen went quiet.

"I’m sorry for your loss." She apologized.

I gave a weak shrug. "It’s okay. I never got the chance to actually meet her so I would say it doesn’t hurt that bad."

"What about her family?" She asked me. "Didn’t you meet your grandparents or any of them?"

I shook my head.

"My mother... not much was known about her in the pack. She just appeared one day in the pack with my..." I hesitated, uncomfortable to call him my father.

After a deep and intense pause, I took a very deep breath. "She appeared one day with my father. She never told anyone where she came from or who her family. Neither did he tell me."

I gave a slight shrug. "She was a slave and nothing more to him or anyone around."

The Queen seemed very reluctant to speak at first.

"I can’t understand all you’ve been through Jasmine." The Queen said.

I chewed my bottom lip and was honest with her. "I’ve had a very hard life. And I.... I can’t emphasize how grateful I am to have met you. How much you have saved me by pardoning me."

I gently held the necklace and showed her, the pendant was still lodged in between my breasts. "This is the only thing I have that tied me to my mother. The only reminder I have to her. I’m happy you found your granddaughter. I also would like to find my mother."

"I heard that my father had a brother." I said.

She nodded. "Yes, he did. Your father was the younger, his brother was older. We were all friends."

"You knew him?" I asked my eyes wide open.

"Yes I most certainly did. He was supposed to be Alpha as the pack law demands but he was more of a researcher, more of a dreamer and traveler. So when he disappeared I wasn’t really surprised."

"Do you have any idea where he went to?" I asked. "He might be the only one who knows about my mother."

She shook her head. "Unfortunately I don’t. No one knew where he went. He just vanished. Some said he left to further his research."

I was disappointed and get my heart drop.

"When I was in the Crescent pack, I found out that he and Xaden’s mother were good friends." I informed her. "I was told she too was interested in researches and things like astronomy. I came here with the hope that I could meet an astronomer called Otto. Perhaps he could know more."

The Queen rose a brow.

She looked very impressed.

"You have really done your homework." She said.

I blushed.
