The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616: A TRIAL!

I swallowed hard and tried to make the most of what love I believed he had for me.

At least had.

I looked around at everyone.

He hadn’t even questioned me in private.

But right in front of everyone.

Not given me the opportunity to explain in private.

Everyone watched me while I was humiliated.

I considered denying everything.

But the stare he bestowed on me made me think twice about it.

It was at that moment that Uther hurriedly went up to Xaden and began whispering.

Uther was my bloodline.

He wasn’t like Xaden, who was an Alpha.

I could understand and hear whenever he whispered.

No one else would.

But because I was his niece, I was able to.

"Xaden, if you would please," Uther said to his ears, and then his eyes wandered to stare at everyone in the room.

Perhaps he assumed they would respect him and turn away.

But they all remained staring at him.

He leaned back to Xaden. "Uhmmm.... Er... Xaden. I was hoping you would.....If you could perhaps spare her the embarrassment and discuss this in private."

My heart skipped a beat.

Uther was trying to speak to Xaden on my behalf.

Was it out of care or fear that I’ll expose him?

I didn’t care.

I just wanted him to help me get out of this situation.

Being in public made it difficult for me even to attempt to manipulate Xaden again

"People shouldn’t know about the things going on between your family," Uther whispered. "You need to hide our stains. Until we can figure something out and-

"No!" Xaden said it so loudly that I jumped.

Uther himself seemed to jump.

"I will not do that," Xaden said, glaring at Uther. Then Xaden looked back at the crowd. "My dear uncle wants me to hide my family’s stain. He wants me to protect our honor."

Uther’s face went red in disbelief.

He seemed shocked that Xaden had ousted him so abruptly.

Uther reasonably took a step back and hid in the shadows.

"Everything about you has been exposed ." He said. "You must be wondering why everyone is here, why I didn’t confront you in private, why my uncle here is telling me to keep it private. As my sister, you are an example to all the she-wolves in this pack. The same way our mother was."

I swallowed hard.

The sweat was no longer hanging on my forehead but was now dripping down my neck.

I tried to breathe hard.

I tried to use our sibling connection to beg him.

So he could pity me and cover my shame.

But Xaden ignored my wolf so much that she whimpered in pain at the rejection.

He looked around the pack. "Who am I to be your Alpha if I hide the sins of my own family from my pack?"
