The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Chapter 14: GOODBYE

My heart started racing so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

Maybe they would just tell Xaden that I was not the legitimate daughter but an impostor and leave him to kill .

But Luna Maria reached out to .

When her hand first went over my head, I flinched.

But then she caressed my ssy curls and said, "My daughter, we love you. No matter what happens, we will find a way to save you."

I was shocked.

Why was she saying this?

Then she pulled into an embrace, and I could perceive her perfu and her feminine warmth.

Then she let go.

"Are we not allowed to have ti with our daughter before you take her away?" Luna Maria asked. "After what you did to my son,"

Then, it dawned on that she was pretending.

They were all pretending.

They couldn't let him know that they had been abusive to .

"Your daughter hasn't seen anything yet." He promised.

I swallowed.

I wasn't just leaving the pack I had known my entire life, but the only ho I had known to go to sowhere I had never been.

"Let's go!" He snapped at .

I jumped, and then I was freed from Luna Maria's false embrace, and I went to him.

I almost bit my fingertips in anxiety, but then I rembered what Luna Maria had told .

I quickly stopped.

He frowned at and led out of the room.

I managed to maintain his stride, but my entire body burned.

He went on faster, and I followed him like a puppy while my inner thighs burned and an overwhelming headache ca over .

"Don't keep him waiting!" Luna hissed behind my ear in a whisper as she pushed. forward.

I managed to rush ahead, but my thighs burned.

What I didn't know was that there was a trail of blood following from under my dress.

Luna Maria saw it but didn't bother to tell .

Eventually, we went to where the horses were, and a carriage was waiting.

I stood, tired.

Then Xaden turned to my father.

"I left a goodbye gift, " he said, nodding at the castle walls.

I looked up and saw the heads of all the high-ranking male wolves staked on wood.

I felt sick.

"I leave my n under the command of this pack." He said. "This is now my property. I'll see you in the next new moon to finish what I started."

With that, he turned towards the horses.

I was looking back.

I hadn't seen Urma; I couldn't leave without telling her goodbye.

"What are you looking for?" He asked .

I paused and looked down at my feet. "A friend. I need to see her before I leave."

"Was that a command?" he asked .

I shrank in fear and shook my head.

"No. Your majesty." I quickly bowed. "Please let know if I can see my friend before I leave. If you will let ."

I felt his gaze over my head.

"You will do no such thing." He shocked .

"Let's go," he said.

And with that, he pushed upward towards where the horses were.

I turned to the carriage to get in.

But two guards stood in front of the door.

I was confused.

"You didn't think I'd let your filthy body ride in my carriage, did you?" He asked .

No, he couldn't. I prayed he didn't do what I thought he was about to.

"You're walking the journey." He said.

But I heard his country was thousands of miles away.

How could I walk all the way?

Especially in my state.

Mainly because I could hardly even walk.

He got into the carriage himself and slamd the door shut.

"Walk," he told .
