The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622: LEVERAGE

His Xaden’s jaw clicked and she found herself being more terrified than ever

"You hurt the woman I vowed to protect," he said, voice dropping to something terrifyingly quiet. "You touched her. Beat her. Tormented her. You killed my own child. And you dared to laugh about it.

Lisa stepped back instinctively.

"Alpha, I... I can explain—"

"Explain?" Xaden repeated, raising a brow.

He looked almost amused.

Almost.

And then he did the scariest thing.

He laughed.

Laughed so hard she became worried.

No one said a word.

By the time he was done laughing, he looked at her with cold hard eyes.

He leaned slightly, as if observing a fascinating insect.

"Explain how you orchestrated my child death?"

Lisa’s breath shattered.

"I-I didn’t. I swear. I didn’t mean those things I-

"Explain how you set up Jasmine again and again?"

Lisa’s palms began to sweat.

"Alpha, I-

"Explain how you thought you were untouchable."

That stopped her heart entirely.

Her breath stuttered.

Xaden’s voice had no heat, only a deadly certainty.

"You’re not."

Lisa opened her mouth

but nothing came out.

No excuses.

No lies.

No charm.

She didn’t have anything to use or say again.

She was alone.

It terrified and baffled her how she had worked so hard for everything and yet it had all come crashing down by the slip of a tongue.

She wanted to take her life this very instant.

Her mind raced in circles, collapsing.

She tried again. "My Alpha, please-

"Guards."

The word cut through the hall like a blade.

She couldn’t believe it.

She had played every card in the game!

She had manipulated everyone to the point she had become indispensable.

And now she had spoken without thinking.

She had been too excited about her victory she had exposed herself.

Two omegas appeared instantly, stepping from behind pillars she hadn’t even noticed. Their shadows swallowed her.

"No.... wait please•

Lisa jerked backward. "Xaden, listen to me-"

"Don’t you DARE call me by my name!" He warned sternly his finger pointed at her in warning. "You have no right."

She swallowed.

"Take her," Xaden said, not even looking at her. "Restrain her. She will be interrogated immediately."

"No!" Lisa screamed as hands clamped around her arms.

He paused and his eyes went dark. "In fact, you will take her to the cell Jasmine lost my child. Let her feel the ghost of my child before she heads to the caves of chaos."

She twisted, kicking, thrashing. "You can’t do this! I helped you! I saved this pack! I-

"You destroyed it," Xaden said and then gave a wry smile. "Almost. But you would never succeed."

He seemed to hover for a split second as if unsure of what to say until he breathed. "You see, I never had a heart to begin with. But I’m now a man who has lost everything. I’m the worst kind to make an enemy."

His voice finally shifted... just slightly.
