The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride

Aurora gritted her teeth after she had uttered those words.

The man who was smiling knowing that he would be called back his his smile and turned back to face her.

"Yes fair lady Aurora?" He asked her.

She nodded her head at her men and the same man who had thrown the first pouch at him, threw another.

The man caught it and felt it.

He put into his satchel.

"That's much better." He said. "And I wnat an apology."

She glared at him angry at this man who was taking her for granted because she wanted information from him.

"You want what Apology?" She demanded in anger.

"Your men vocally made comments about me." He said. "I want an apology or I will leave."

Aurora was desperate and when people were desperate, they would do anything.

"Fine my men will apologize to you." She turned to her men and spoke fluently in them in her wolf tongue. "This pig wants you to apologize to him do it an get it over with."

"Oh no they aren't giving me the apology." The man said. "You are. On their behalf."

She wanted to explode In rage.

"And oh before I forget." He said. "You will have to secure and swear by your status as a gamma that you would let me walk free and alive from here."

Her men drew their swords angry at the insults the man was hurling at their mistress.

She raised her hand and stopped them from doing anything .

As a wolf, honor was the most important thing to them.

A wolf could he in his rags, but he never defied honor.

A wolf's honor was in their bloodlines. It was imbedded in them.

So Aurora breaking her honor for a nobody who was not even her ranks was an insult.

Aurora with no choice bowed her head at the man and said. "On behalf of my men who may have disrespected you, I apologize. Do forgive us."

Aurora told herself that if this man came up with something else to mock her, she didn't care what information he had and how precious it was with her, she was going to kill him.

He smiled when she rose her head up.

"That's more like it isn't he?" He asked her and she gave him a sour look.

"Now the promise." He said.

She sighed and then she picked out her dagger and cut her palm. "I've drawn blood and I've drawn flood. I swear by the bonds that tie me, as I am not to harm the man before me in whatever way, or my bloodline shall fail me."

Then she dropped the blood to the ground.

"Now will you speak?" She asked. "My patience is being tried a bit too much."

"I gathered the information for you. But I don't have the actual information. I have someone who will you give you the information." He said.

Aurora wanted to scream. "It was your job to get the information! What did I pay you for you bastard?!"

"Do relax." He said. "No one from the moonlight pack was willing to speak to me. No one. It was like they were under a spell or something and then it occurred to me. Absolute command and obedience from their Alpha. It's rare but it still happens.

No one can speak against him. Even if they want to."

Aurora wanted to rip her hair out.

All her information that she had undergone for months was for nothing?

"So I have you this money for nothing?" She asked him. "You might have tricked me here but I will find you and my men will rip you into shreds."

"There is no need for such gruesome tales. Look, I may not have the information but I was able to find someone who has the information for you. You were right, Jasmine doesn't belong where she is. There are too many things about her. But for one thing I can tell you. She isn't the one Xaden wanted in the beginning." He told her.

The man was purposely withholding information.

He knew that she wasn't the one quite alright, but he had also learned the young lady Jasmine had some other hidden roots.

Her true identity was a mystery.

He didn't need to tell Aurora that aspect because she didn't ask him about that.

"The daughter of Alpha Bale was betrothed to the wild wolf pack. They are the relatives of the King themselves." He said. "They can be the only ones who can confirm if she is truly his daughter or not."

She tilted her head. "You mean Dean, Jasmine's husband. He is dead and not just that Xaden has barred members of his pack from going into their pack."

"Yes." He nodded. "But isn't Alpha Alexander his brother currently attending the halo festival? And his brother holds a grudge against the moonlight pack. It was because of then his brother was killed. He detests them. He will tell you if it's true or not."

"Alexander." Aurora said as she understood.

He knew who Jasmine truly was and that's why he had held her against her will.

"Is that all you have for me?" She asked him.

"That's all." He said.

Then he turned and left towards his own horse that stood magestically in the distance.

"Oh and one more thing. If you're going to be returning to your pack to meet Alexander, you better do it quickly."

She stared at him. "Why?"

"My spies told me that Alexander is in prison and he might be dead before tonight. And that he also has a missing eye and hand."

"Missing eye and hand?" Aurora narrowed her eyes. "Alexander was okay when I left him."

"Well that part was a gift from Xaden. Apparently Alexander touched his property and Xaden decided to give him souvenirs." The man said. "It seems that Xaden is smitten for another and you are no longer of interest."

Aurora felt the insult like a slap to her face and she fumed in anger.
