The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride

Some of the blood sputtered on Jasmine's face and she jumped as the head stopped at her feet.

All eyes turned to look at her.

She knew what they were thinking as usual.

She, daughter of the Alpha Bale, the one who had harmed almost everyone here, managed to hurt every single pack present.

And now he has sent an assassin to kill Xaden.

She saw the way he was looking at her from afar.

She knew that she was in trouble.

She knew that whatever moments he had been kind to her was the end of it with her.

But it didn't make sense.

She breathed heavily.

The assassin had been warning her to hurriedly leave.

She knew that he was not the one who had killed Alexander or even sent the assassin, there was someone else present.

And now that they had all believed that it was the desert assassin her father had sent, there was no way they would not believe that she too had a hand in it.

What baffled her the most was that the spy had given her and her father up.

He had said that if he died, she would send information back home.

She knew that he was loyal to her father so why had he ousted himself in such a way?

Why has he told Xaden that it was Bale who sent him?

She knew him, he would have died with the secret and never told a single soul.

But rather him saying that it was Bale that had sent him would make them all point a finger at her.

She could feel their eyes on her.

"Xaden I was trying to tell you that you should have not killed him." Erik said.

"Why not?" Xaden asked not taking his eyes off Jasmine.

"Because we could have gotten more information from him." Erik said. "You're not usually like this. You know better than to make rash decisions."

Of course he was not usually this way, but Bale had a way over him.

Hearing that Bale had sent the spy to kill him, despite his measures to keep him far away and await for the full moon.

But his skin had crawled, flashes of his dead family. Flashes of Losing his parents had driven him insane.

He had lost his mind and ripped his head apart from his neck.

And then seeing Jasmine.

Seeing the head roll to her leg was a way fate telling him that she was evil.

That's she was the Devil's spawn and that all this while she had had a hand in his almost murder.

His hands grew to a first.

He had not asked the spy if Jasmine had known him because he had been too scared to hear the truth.

He didn't want everyone to hear.

He didn't want himself to hear being told she had known that he was around.

He walked up to her and all eyes were on her.

She was looking up at him with those beautiful big green eyes of hers and he felt his throat go dry.

He strode up to her and then when they were barely a few inches away she diverted her gaze away from him.

He saw her and just thought about how he had let her get away with so much already.

He had so much emotions burning inside him.

He thought about how she had fooled him.

About the fact that she must have sided with the spy against him, to have him killed he was certain.

He thought about the times he had saved her and it made him only furious.

He clenched his fist In anger.

"Look at me." He said so coldly everyone in the silent room could hear.

But she didn't, rather her eyes remained downcast.

Refusing to obey him.

Then he began to hear the whispers around him.

"Can you imagine she is disobeying him." Someone said.

"Is he even truly am Alpha." Someone else said.

"A mere slave disobeying her master what a disgrace."

Xaden could hear the whispers and he was beyond words furious.

She made him look like a fool! Made him feel like a fool!

And Aurora had warned him about her!

That she could be a spy bug he had take her word that she was simply an unshifted wolf!

His ego and pride hung as the whispers of the wolves around sang in his ears.

About how incompetent he was.

"Look at me!" He barked and she jumped.

Without waiting for a response, he slapped her and she gasped and then he forced her to look up at him.

Her beautiful green almond shaped eyes looked at him in disbelief.

The loose curls on her face hung carelessly but yet beautifully.

He closed his eyes away from her beauty and then he opened it and it was filled with anger.

"You had a hand in this didn't you?" He asked her.

Her lips were quivering. "No my lord! I didn't have a hand in any of this."

"Lies!" He sneered at her. "All lies! The only words that ever come from your lips are lies!"

She shook her head. "I swear my lord I had nothing to do with this."

He shook her so hard that for a second he belived her head would fall from her neck.

"You knew that he was here." He said.

She went quiet and then to his horror he saw her nod. "Y-yes. I knew he was here. But I swear I had nothing to do with the attack on your life. I would never harm you."

He didn't even bother to stay hearing everything she was saying.

Rather he closed his eyes and pushed her away from him.

"Guards." He said without looking at her. "Take her to the dungeon and lock her up."

Jasmine who had dropped to the floor had her eyes spewed with tears.

The guards dragged her up and led her out of the court room.
