The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: IF YOU HAD A HEART YOU WOULD LOVE HER

The men made camp and settled down.

Owen and two other men went hunting to find anything to eat while the others stayed back to make watch and take notes on their surroundings.

Erik and Xaden went up ahead to explore the surroundings to be certain that there were no creatures of the night again.

Xaden felt the pain grip him and then he groaned.

"Xaden." Erik said placing his hand against him.

The pain hit Xaden hard again and Xaden struggled.

Erik rushed up to him and held him up. "Xaden, what is it?" Erik asked.

Erik could feel him getting harder and harder, his entire body weighing him down more than usual.

Then Xaden looked up at him, and then his eyes went pitch black.

Erik stared on in horror.

Xaden began to froth at the mouth, but it was not foam or saliva.

It was blood, black blood.

"Gods." Erik said.

Xaden started to snap and growl and then Erik pulled out what he had kept on privacy for long.

He opened the top of his blade, which had a secret compartment, and then steam emitted over Xaden’s face.

Xaden growled and roared at it, but Erik forced him to have the steam engulf him. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Xaden eventually conceded, and then he managed to become calm.

The black blood stopped spilling, and then his eyes returned to Normal.

Soon, Xaden was breathing normally.

But in the process of his short and swift transformation, Xaden’s clothes has been ripped apart and then was now Torn.

It was then Erik saw how badly Xaden was ill.

The black marks that he had seen on his arm earlier had now extended all over his body to his neck and then to his arms, and they formed an intricate and magnificent pattern.

It resembled the root of a tree that had stayed in the tree so long and dug its roots deep into the ground, taking a taste of every single side available to it.

"The Gods." Erik exclaimed in horror. "What happened to you."

Xaden sighed and picked up the pieces of his shirt as if in an attempt to work it out and put it back on his body.

And that made Xaden stop.

Then he breathed in and turned around.

Erik shook his head. "I am your friend, and I will not let you go astray when I see you on that path."

"So I am to wait behind?" Xaden asked with a bitter laugh. "Like a coward? It is my life on the line here too."

"Xaden we both know that you would give your life for Jasmine if you were given the opportunity to," Erik said, and that made Xaden stop in his tracks.

His face went ashen and white.

Xaden was about to speak.

"You do not need to deny it," Erik said. "I see you, I know you. You care for her more than you should. You have no heart and yet you care for her. If you were alive you would-

"Love ?" Xaden cut him short. "I would what love her? Yes. You are right. I would love her would I not? And I took my heart away because I never wanted to be capable of such emotions. Look what happened to my parents".

Xaden looked for the words to say as it was eating him out.

"My father gave up himself. My mother gave up herself, to save us. Because they loved us. Loved my sister and I. But look what happened?" He gave a bitter laugh. "My sister did not even make it. Look at me. I am the product of the so-called love."

Then Xaden’s face went white. "I can not love because I will not see what happened to my family happen to me."
