The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: THE FALL OF THE FAMILY OF THE CRESCENT PACK

The sound was deafening.

A single, wet gasp. Then silence.

For a long moment, no one moved. I just stared, frozen, at the blood running in thin streams down my fingers, hot and slick, pooling at my boots.

It had all happened too fast.

Uther had raced out of the throne room in a matter of seconds.

Fled as fast as lighting without breaking a stride.

Before anyone could even make a single move, all that could be heard outside was screaming, growling and tearing.

We could hear Uther’s screams in terror begging to stop.

And what sounded like bone being severed from the flesh rang through the hallway.

Kire, Erik’s departed wolf that had refused to return to his body, majestically walked into the throne room.

His height, times two of a regular wolf.

He tossed the severed limb and I knew it was Uther’s

The crowd gasped.

Men got up to perhaps bring in Uther but I rose my hand.

I knew what Kire was going to do.

"Kire." I nodded in approval .

I watched as the brave wolf left the throne room and returned a few minutes later, dragging Uther in.

Uther was screaming. "No please! Stay away from me! Stay away from me."

Everyone cleared the path letting them walk past.

His blood spilled on the red carpet where his leg had been served.

Once Kire reached the steps of my throne he left his body.

Uther finally stopped screaming and slowly looked up to me.

My bones went chilly cold with hate and betrayal.

This was the only other bloodline I had.

The only tie I had other than Anna who had also betrayed me.

My family.

Now the root cause of my misery.

He looked up at me sharply and began to plead. "Xaden I’m your uncle. I would never do such a thing. You know me. I care about you my boy. Have mercy!"

I gritted my teeth and spat in his face.

Uther withdrew as though he had been slapped.

What I had in mind for him was nothing compared to this.

"Xaden at least my leg hurts." Uther pleaded. "I’m in pains. Let me get treated and we will discuss this. I lost my wolf years ago I would die if I don’t treat it now. Please."

I looked at him in disgust.

Appalled that he even shared the same blood with my mother.

Disgusted that he was my mother’s brother.

That he was even my uncle.

He and Anna were the same.

All the same.

Monsters who had disgraced my entire family pack.

I sighed heavily and looked up at the ceiling of the throne room.

Hundreds of my generation had been here and I wandered if they had ever been in my own place.

Having to judge my sister, my uncle for murdering my own child!

For murdering innocent people!

Just for their own selfish gains.

I looked back down at the wolves in the room.

The people who looked up to me as their Alpha.

Alpha who they expected to give justice for them.

"My lord ," Uther began, his voice cracked, his knees hitting the cold floor. "Please... please, I beg for your forgiveness."

I said nothing. The murmurs that rippled through the court died down immediately at the sound of my silence.

"I was wrong," Uther continued, clutching his chest as though his heart were collapsing under his words. "But it was not my will. You must believe me, it wasn’t me who plotted against you. It wasn’t me who did it." His breath hitched. "Anna, she used dark magic on me. She bound my mind. I couldn’t think, couldn’t resist. Every act, every word, she controlled it all."

My eyes flicked to Anna.

She stood , her golden hair perfectly arranged, her dress too calm for the storm unfolding.

"He’s lying!" she hissed. "He’s always been the one pulling the strings! He wanted your throne, Xaden! He wanted Father’s empire. Don’t you see what he’s doing? He’s turning you against me again!"

Watching them turn on each other disgusted me!

"Enough," I said.
