The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574: OTTO’S WOLF

I sat down opposite Otto as he seemingly translated pages of the book.

While he translated to another book.

The translated version was handed to me to read and began deciphering.

From the books I had gotten in Xaden’s astronomy room, I had grown to calculate the stars and moon.

It had come as a natural gift the exact same way learning how to read and write had come quickly.

I felt my necklace burn again and I twisted in discomfort .

I was tempted to simply take it off but Princess Auburn had offered to help me.

I didn’t really buy her doing it for me out of the goodness of her heart.

I didn’t trust her and something within me screamed to stay away from her.

But then again I thought of the fact that she has said Queen Rose would be in trouble.

What reason would she have lying to me?

I turned to look back up at Otto.

Or should I ask him?

"Otto I wanted to-

I shut up instantly.

He looked at me irritated and obviously annoyed for being distracted.

I mumbled a sorry and he went back to translating.

He was so gruff and grumpy.

I stopped asking because I remembered Hildegard had told me he disliked members of the royal family.

Asking him would be further testing him past his boundaries and I was already on thin ice with him.

I watched him as he worked aggressively on the translation.

Despite being unclean and grumpy, I had to admit that he was very good looking.

His muscles were prominent over his body that showed he had been in combat at one point of his life.

Where was his family?

Why was he here?

And if he hated the royal family why was he still living here.

"Why do you hate the royal family?" I asked without thinking.

He glared at me and I considered apologizing again but decided against it.

I looked at him, my eyes with question as I obviously waited for him to reply.

"Did you come here to interrogate me or you came here to find your family?" He asked rudely.

I gave him a smile refusing to be intimidated.

"I want to find my family but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some small talk." I said as I played with the quill.

He ignored me and I started to nudge him with the tip of the quill.

"Go on. Tell me." I said refusing to give up.

He rose up his head with a heavy groan and I thought he was going to send me out of the room.

But instead he gave in a very heavy sigh.

"I don’t hate the royal family." He said exasperated. "We just have differences."

"Oh." I said still not understanding what he was saying.

"Can we drop it now?" He asked me.

I gave him a smile. "No."

He rolled his eyes and gave in a heavy sigh.

He tossed the quill and groaned. "I had some differences with some members of the royal family and it well affected me and it’s just been strained. Only Rose had my back."

"Rose?" I said surprised that he wasn’t calling the Queen by her title.

"Yes, Rose, we grew up together. Along with Hildegard but I was younger than she was." He said.

I stared at him to look properly.

If he said he was younger than her and yet grew up with her then that meant he was in his late thirties or early forties. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

I wondered if this differences that he had had also affected his wolf.

As if reading my mind, he said. "Yes it’s the reason why I’m mad."
