The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 612

Chapter 612: THE TRUTH

XADEN’S POV

I blinked at the fresh blood that had been splashed on my face, and once I opened my eyes, I saw her drop to her knees before landing on the floor.

I was seated transfixed, unable to believe what had just happened.

Silas came into the room. "Xaden, I just-

Silas abruptly stopped and looked down at the body lying before my feet.

"What in the bloody goddess," Silas said as he walked over to where I sat.

He went down on his knees and turned her body.

She lay on her back, her eyes wide open and her throat slit.

"Sweet Goddess." Silas gasped in shock, immediately stepping back.

Then he looked back up at me, the blood still plastered on my face.

"You look a mess." He said and handed me a hankie from his pocket.

I caught it in my hand and wiped the blood off.

I cleaned my face properly as I rose from the seat and paced the bedroom.

"Her throat is slit," Silas remarked as he examined her body further. "And from the way I’m looking at it, it was self-inflicted. Or perhaps did you-

"No, of course not," I answered, exasperated.

He gave a slight shrug of his shoulders.

"I was only asking. Just wanted to be sure. This is the second suicide we have had today."

"All tracing to my question about Hunter and my sister," I said, and covered my mouth as I tried to think.

"She was fine when I brought her. And most of all, we tried everything but torture to get her to speak. But she never did." Silas said.

I shook my head. "No, this was different. It was as though she had the message meant for me."

"What?" Silas said, " I’m lost.

I walked to the window and looked at the dark clouds.

It was already night, and the rain was still pouring heavily.

"She said something about her only being able to give three questions. It didn’t make any sense." I shook my head. "It was just like the other boy. The moment he saw me, he ran. But in her own case, the moment I mentioned Hunter, she went into survival mode. Like it was only a matter of time."

"Sweet Selene," Silas said.

"Kept on telling me she didn’t have any time. Before she could even answer the last question, she got up and slit her throat." I said.

The room went quiet.

Silas sighed heavily. "Did you at least get answers?"

"Yes, I did," I said, gritting my teeth.

At least now I knew that my sister had a clean hand in Jasmine’s setup.

My body raged in turmoil as I remembered the consequences of my questions.

How had I been so blinded not to see who she truly was?

Had no sympathy whatsoever to even watch Jasmine lose the child. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Her own nephew.

My daughter.

My wolf was furious.

I was breathing so heavily as my mind raced in full blooded rage.

I had been taken for a fool!

By none other than my own flesh and blood.

"There is magic here." Silas pointed around. "Someone is using magic to destroy any traces of the truth."

Anna had to have had a hand in this!

She was going to pay!

Dearly!
