The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride

A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE BELLS WERE RUNG

After Jasmine had hurried out of the Queen's chamber, she went on her way.

She felt so angry with the King for being unfaithful to the Queen.

She wished there was something she could do!

As she hurried past the hallway, she saw princess Cherry coming her way.

Jasmine turned the other side and curtseyed for the would have been Queen .

That was what princess Cherry, the Queen who would have been.

Jasmine waited for her to pass by but the click of the princess's heels stopped in her front.

Jasmine took in deep breaths trying to control herself.

Princess Cherry used her finger to lift Jasmine's chin up to stare at her.

"Look at me." Princess Cherry said and Jasmine did as she was told.

It was like Princess Cherry was looking through her. Like she was seeing right inside her soul.

Princess Cherry wished that she had known Scarlet had survived and even had a child.

It baffled her to know that Scarlet had ended up surviving long enough to even conceive before her sister.

If princess Cherry had known that her niece was alive she would have used her.

Because Corral was nothing like Scarlet. Corral had been much stronger.

Cherry had initially tried to manipulate the little girl, but that girl had been fierce and good. There was no spark of evil inside her.

She had had no choice but to turn on the neglected sister who had ever shade of evil growing from within her and that was how she had been able to easily turn her to her side.

It had been very simple.

But just even touching her skin, Cherry could feel how much powerful Jasmine was.

She was more powerful than her own mother.

Marie had been right, this was power that was stronger than what any of them had seen.

"I know you saw us." Princess Cherry said. "You saw the King fucking me."

Jasmine's eyes were downcast refusing to make contact with Cherry.

"I do not know what you speak of your majesty. I saw nothing." Jasmine said.

The King had told her that she had seen nothing when she had first seen them kissing, and so even though Jasmine had seen them having sex, she had come to see it as she had not seen them doing anything.

"I know it was you who was peeking." Princess Cherry said. "You wanted to be fucked didn't you? Watching the King fuck me gavwbyou desires you won't understand?"

Jasmine had no idea when she pushed her face away from the princess's grasp.

Then she quickly apologized. "Forgive me your majesty. But I truly do not understand what you are saying. Neither did I see anything."

Princess Cherry rolled her fingers together.

She had finally come to understand Jasmine or so believed she did.

Jasmine was very calm, subdued. She has been raised as meek, but yet in the girl she saw the streak of Royal blood in her.

In everything she did.

Despite her meek nature there was that streak to fierceness in her.

A fierce spirit she had only seen in Scarlet. Never Corral.

Jasmine might be meek and quiet but one day, she knew that that fire would erupt and she would be stronger than her mother.

No one would dare take their cheek away from her grasp, not even Belle would.

But Jasmine, even though was a quiet and lowly slave even had the guts to turn away from her.

Cherry was merely surprised and it had been a while since anyone had stood up to her in such a way.

She liked a bit of challenge.

She wondered how Jasmine didn't even know how much power she had within herself.

She smiled at Jasmine.

"You're a feisty one." She said. "I like you and I'll see you around.

Jasmine didn't look at her and then Cherrry clicked her heels as she went past.

Jasmine heaved a sigh of relief and then went away.

She was grabbed by someone and she saw that it was none other than the spy.

"I was about to call for the owl." She said.

"We have to do it quickly." He said. "Something is about to happen and you can not let them suspect you."

He pulled her all the way to secret tunnels.

"What is it?" She asked.

"You will send for the owl and report everything you can to your father." He said. "But the bells would soon ring and then you would be sent for everyone. You need to be in the throne room along witn everyone else.

Not before, not after. But at the precise moment."

"I don't understand any of this." She said freeing herself from him.

He turned to look at her and he said. "Teling you would be hard because they could torture you and extract information from you. Just do as I tell you."

"Where will you return to?" She asked him.

"I will return to the pack to see your father." He said. "If I don't then tell when you send for the bird tell him everything that has happened."

"What do you mean if you do not return?" She asked lost for words.

He shook his head and then said.

"Do as I have instructed." He said and then pushed her down the alert that would lead her straight to where other servants were and she won't be instructed.

He had learned of the plot to kill Xaden a few hours before it had happened.

He had met his sister ( The desert wolves refer to themselves regardless of whether related by blood or not as brothers as sisters) and she had told him she had been sent to kill Xaden.

He had tried to deter her against it, telling her it won't be so easy but she had insisted she could do it.

Eventually Xaden had survived and he had known what had happened to her.

She was dead.

And now someone was cleaning up their dirty paths.

He made a sharp turn and then he bumped right into a hooded figure.
