The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Chapter 19: A SAD GOODBYE

After a few days of taking care of and treating my wounds, I was well enough.

She gave so dicine.

"You need to take these, " she advised. They will help you feel stronger and eat."

She had helped even though I was a stranger to her, even though she had known for a couple of days when I had stayed back ho in the pack, and no one bothered to help .

I swallowed heavily.

"Thank you," I said. "I don't know how to thank you enough."

"You don't need to." She promised . "That's what people do. Help each other."

I hadn't seen Alpha Xaden or any of his n all through the days I had been awake.

I had remained in the room until I had completely healed.

"Those lashes on your back." She told .

I kept quiet.

She knew who I was.

At least from what she told , she knew that I was not Jessica.

I smiled weakly. "I was disrespectful, and I was punished."

"You weren't." She told . "Even if you were, no one deserves this. Especially not when it's their blood that orders it."

I suddenly felt ashad and embarrassed that she knew everything about .

How could I explain to her that I was a bastard and nothing good could ever co out of ?

I had killed my mother when I ca back from this world.

"I wish I could tell you, but I can't." She said. "You have a destiny, Jasmine. Great one. Keep that in mind."

? Have a destiny? All I had done alive was suffer, which I would do when I got to Alpha Xaden's pack.

He had made that as clear as day.

"I can't stop Xaden from anything he wants to do." She said. "He is a man who is fuelled by revenge. I wish I could. And I'm sorry you are suffering for sothing you're innocent of."

I bit my lip.

"You kept my secret safe; you healed and cared for ," I said. "I have no idea how to pay you back."

"You don't need to." She said.

Then she frowned and looked at the necklace on my neck.

"Who gave you that?" she asked.

"It belonged to my mother. She died after my birth." I replied.

She stared at it for a while and said nothing.

"Alpha Xaden hates ." It wasn't a question.

"Yes," she replied.

I nodded, and she led outside the bedroom in the new dress she had gotten for and my red curls made in a single braid.

I took in the entire house because it was the first ti I had seen it since I had been unconscious when I ca in.

Outside, the n were all waiting.

All eyes are on .

Xaden was the first I saw; he seed to look even more handso.

I looked down at the ground, aware that I was ugly and he was most likely disgusted by my appearance.

The door to the carriage was opened as if inviting .

"You would ride inside. I've spoken to Xaden." Elena said she was surprising . "You're still weak and can't even ride a horse because of what happened."

I felt my face flush with embarrassnt and go red. All the n would know what had happened.

She led into the carriage and helped in.

"Thank you for everything," I said from the bottom of my heart.

She smiled at and turned to say sothing to Xaden in a different wolf turn.

He nodded and then turned towards the carriage.

I assud maybe he would co in.

But then he turned to a horse that stood beside the door.

He hated and wanted nothing to do with . He would rather ride on his horse than with in the carriage.

"I'm sorry that I fell sick and made you waste your ti." I apologized to him.

He stiffened and said it without looking at . "Save your falsehoods and keep your lies to yourself."

And then he got on his horse and led the party on the continued journey.
