horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t see who was on the other end, but I knew my brother rode one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xaden had been gone without a word to anyone, which had shocked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unusual for him to go anywhere without me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Jasmine had left the pack, he had been acting strange and moody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, I had been worried he had caught me in my web of thousands of lies, but then I waved it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known anything, he would have confronted me from the outset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my back on the window and closed my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa was a filthy bitch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One I ultimately regretted having anything to do with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more I thought of her and how she had blatantly come to threaten me, the angrier I became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even dared to shift and scare me with her wolf!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angrily, I walked to my dresser and began to scatter the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I screamed and sent the mirror spiraling to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shattered into a million pieces, and I flung anything and everything I could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I breathed heavily once I was calm and dropped to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hand was bleeding from the mirror cut, but I didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted that bitch gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had hoped that once I used her, it would be easy to get rid of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least some Gold and jewelry would have her on her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had proven to be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had proven to be ambitious and greedy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t take jewelry or any wealth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She now wanted Xaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was very clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could take Xaden and make him hers, then she could become the Luna of the pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant she would be my sister-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa would ruin my life and use her threats against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the Luna of the most excellent pack in the entire world was bigger than any wealth I had to offer her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both knew that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only chance I had was eliminating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have to have her killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely no one would miss her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I started thinking of ways to have her erased, a knock came at the door, interrupting me from my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" I hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lady, your brother has sent for you.\" A small, tiny voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I paused my calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Xaden had finally come to his senses and wanted to apologize for his erratic behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be down,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To appease me, I would demand my mother’s necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our family heirloom, he had given to that whore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I set Lisa and her scheming threats aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was going to handle her later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rose to the floor, cleaned up the blood that dripped from my arm, and made sure I looked pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My life was finally about to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Xaden had left, I had noticed that Fiona and Erik barely spoke to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always looked at him with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was if she even looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he pretended she didn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was safe to say that whatever silly ideas they had had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was his mate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perfect Luna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And mother to his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked out of my bedroom and down the hall, I began to think of Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I adored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only child I actually ever cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, I hissed at children and wanted them far, far away from my sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was something about this beautiful girl with her raven curls and perfect ebony skin that just drew me to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had gathered that her mother had died in an attack orchestrated by none other than Jasmine’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had stolen me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I understood her, and I intended to raise her as my own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I imagined Erik and me happy in our own pack, living as one family with Jade, I noticed the energy was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went to Xaden’s throne room, where I suspected he would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backing the throne stood my brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other top-ranking members of our pack stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erik, Fiona, even Nanny Nia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was that witch still doing here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine wasn’t here any longer and her service were no longer required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were eyes all around; I felt their piercing gaze on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swallowed heavily as my feet suddenly felt reluctant to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there a sort of announcement that I had missed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was almost full of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked to where the throne was, but stopped at the steps leading to the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked to my right and I saw a strange man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had pale white skin, white hair, eyebrows, and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I furrowed my brow, wondering where exactly I had seen him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it hit me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it did, I reacted so badly it was as though I had been slapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a snow wolf who had been in the moonlight pack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Father’s slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then I looked sharply at Xaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this whom he had brought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then my mind went to the man on the second horse I hadn’t clearly seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the realization hit me like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xaden had gone to the moonlight pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart began to race and I felt my body tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xaden.\" I managed in a quiet voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My elder brother slowly turned around, his eyes spitting fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire that seemed ready to burn down the entire pack, with himself included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon beads of sweat gathered at my forehead and my tummy ached terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I subconsciously took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my brother, his long dark hair loose, his aura vibrating through his body, progressed towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was out for blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And something told me it wasmyown blood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-06T04:22:25.014Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0044ed30e046043b870ff3dc0476ad3c49300538a7434931361e0aa821fa1a4","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-615","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-613",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-cover.jpg"]
