The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603: FIRE!

JASMINE’S POV

The moment I left the Queen’s study, I took in an intense breath.

I was overwhelmed by the sheer betrayal of it all.

He had claimed he would let me choose, but he had decided for me.

Just when I had assumed everything was getting better.

When I assumed things were finally going to be fine.

I took in a deep breath.

I wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

I was going to find my uncle and my mother’s family and leave all these people.

I would finally find my family.

That was what mattered.

Firstly, I was going to find the siren, Pearl.

From the little information I had gathered from her, I needed to know more.

Especially since I had seen that woman in my dream.

She came flashing to me.

The way she had sung the song.

The way she had called me by my name.

Was that my mother?

It had to be.

Who else had red hair?

From there, I would find Otto and begin trying to fix all the puzzles on the map he had so badly looked for.

I turned around and remembered that Hildegard was supposed to be waiting for me.

"Where is Lady Hildegard?" I asked.

"She was called aside." One of the guards replied. "But I’m sure she would return."

I swallowed and nodded before heading out on my way.

It was good, I didn’t even get to meet her.

How was I going to explain my whereabouts?

I went down the hallway and followed the narrow steps down to the gardens.

I almost crashed into someone at a bend.

"I’m so sorry." I apologized.

To my horror, it was none other than the King himself.

I subconsciously took two steps back.

"Your majesty," I said, looking down at my feet.

I could feel his energy.

I hadn’t been in this much proximity since I had caught him cheating on the Queen.

"Look at me!" He ordered.

I did as I was asked, and I stared into the eyes of the man who lied to his wife.

Who betrayed her by sleeping with his sister-in-law?

It was terrible.

"I would have never wanted you here." He began. "If it weren’t for my wife."

His green eyes disgustingly glared at me.

Like I wasn’t worth even looking at.

"You’re mannerless." He began. "And you’re a latent wolf. Everywhere you go, you attract something bad. Your parents, your pack."

I was nothing to his harsh accusations.

"You will not bring your ill luck to my family." He pointed a warning finger at me. "Do you understand me?!"

I nodded. "Yes, your majesty."

I wondered when he was going to bring up what I had seen.

"You will have to earn your place here. Nothing is free. The moment I get one complaint about your behavior, you are out. Do you understand me?" He hissed.

"Yes, your majesty," I replied dutifully.

At that moment, none other than Princess Auburn came.

She had a nasty and mischievous smile on her face.
