The Alpha's Unwanted Bride Chapter 57: A DISCOVERY TO SAVE LIVES

I swam down to the plant and then pulled it out.

It shocked when I saw that the Lyrun has roots.

Usually, Lyrun didn’t co with roots.

It had a flat mouth at the end and could not be transplanted.

It cost one Lyrun per dead Lycan and was extrely expensive.

Urma had told stories of Lycans who had been haunted and killed because of the plant.

So much so that they had even gone into hiding and concealed their identity out of fear of being killed for the plant.

Hopefully, this one would be able to grow if we replanted it.

It would be the first.

And then I swam back up to the top of the swamp.

When I erged, I took in a large gasp because I had been holding my breath for so long, and then I pressed my hand over my wet hair.

I swam to the bank of the swamp, picked up my clothes, and hurriedly put them on.

I had to wait a few minutes to dry up, even though I was in a hurry.

I couldn’t tell people I was going to my secret lake.

I had no intention of letting them find my lake out of fear of what they would do, and I had never really had a place for myself.

Luna Maria burned the last one I had.

When I was dry, and my hair had returned to its frizzy curls, I hurried out of the swamp.

I made sure to be confident that no one took notice of as I walked back to the castle.

Once the coast was clear, I hurried back to the castle.

I went past the servants and the busy people in the hallways and went up the stairs.

I caught sight of Aurora and Belle arguing.

I didn’t even have the ti to see what was happening.

I hurried on my way.

I flung the door open, and Loren shook so much that the glass in his hands almost fell to the floor.

"My Goddess!" He shouted at . "What is the rush about?! You ran off from the room first, then back in like the devil chased you."

I hurried up to him.

"If you keep on with that attitude, young she-wolf, I might have to send you to sleepouts.

I showed him my hands.

He stopped right in his tracks.

His face was white with shock. "My God!"

He pushed the glasses he was holding aside and then wore his glasses quickly.

He collected it from my hands.

His eyes were entering the plant.

"Is that... is that?" He asked , looking back at in disbelief. "Is that what I think it is?"

I nodded. "It’s Lyrun."

His mouth was open.

"Where did you find Lyrun?" He asked, still unable to believe what he was seeing.

I looked up at him.

Do I tell him the truth? If I told him where I had gotten it, then he might report to Alpha Xaden.

My lake would be taken away from like it had been back ho.

But if I didn’t tell him, he would be suspicious. He knew that Lyrun could not be found anywhere.

Then he looked at . "Did you kill a Lycan a long ti ago and hide the body?"

That was the thing with Lyrun—it couldn’t grow on a fresh body. It had to be already decaying.

"No," I said.

I took a deep breath and eventually decided to tell him the truth. "There is a place I found. It’s a swamp. I was going strolling one day. No one else seems to have visited. I swim them when I’m free with work to escape."

He was watching closely. "I rember Urma telling it was a myth but that Lyrun could be found in pure water bodies. I went to the swamp when you said you had nothing to give the queen. I didn’t like seeing you distressed. And I found it."

I finished.

He said nothing.

I was waiting for him to tell he would report to Alpha Xaden.

"It has roots." He said. "The Lyrun plant does not have roots that is why it is so scarce."

I said. "I know. This is the first one I have seen myself. Hopefully, it can be transplanted. That way, Lyrun can grow. Lycans can be free from the persecution they face. We could save them."

"We have not even planted it yet." He told . "One step at a ti."

I closed my mouth, ashad of my over-excitent.

He turned to and said, "But you are right. It can save lots of lives."

I bead with a smile.

Then I rembered that I had told him about my swamp.

He turned his back to , and I waited for his judgnt.

For him to announce that he would take to Xaden.

Then he shocked by saying: "I do not know what you said about a swamp. But wherever you got this plant from is a blessing."

I gasped. "So you would not tell Alpha Xaden that I have a swamp?"

He frowned at . "A swamp? What are you talking about? Stop saying nonsense, girl!"

Then it dawned on what he was doing.

He pretended he did not know what I was saying and indirectly told my secret was safe with him.

"Thank you," I said softly.

He ignored and went on to be grumpy. "If you have had enough of just standing there doing nothing, then you would co and help prepare the dicine."

I looked up at him. "?"

"No, the ghost is behind you." He snorted. "Of course, you!"

I smiled and went on to assist him.

I giggled, and then he gave a stare that told to close my mouth.

I suppressed the giggles and smiled.

Loren was a good man, and I knew I could trust him.
