The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500: DEATH WARRANT

Hunter stood at his balcony watching over the clear grass and cold atmosphere.

It had been almost a week since Jasmine had gone.

He regretted letting her go.

Just being around her.

He felt and understood why they wanted her.

He had grown to fall in love with her and sending her down to them would have been a death sentence to her.

Or worse.

Especially after the little he knew.

He cursed under his breath as he knew that they needed to leave soon.

Xaden would come after he and his men soon in revenge.

He hoped that one day he would meet Jasmine again.

In much better circumstances.

Even though he knew that it was most unlikely.

Especially after the fact that he had signed his death warrant.

Disobeying who had sent him to fetch her.

He swallowed and gritted his teeth hard before taking in a deep breath.

He heard some footsteps.

He didn’t need to turn around to know that it was his most trusted wolf.

Rygar.

"The men have returned." Rygar told him.

Hunter remained leaning over the balcony. "Did she return safe and sound?"

Rygar nodded. "Yes. She did. But it’s only a matter of time before Xaden’s pack prepares to attack us."

"We would be gone before then." Hunter said as he now leaned away from the balcony and turned to face Rygar.

He strolled into the room and past Rygar.

"We don’t run away from fight my lord." Rygar remarked. "We never have."

"This isn’t running away." Hunger stated as his brown eyes glinted. "There is no need to fight Xaden and his men. That was not our intention anyway."

Hunter took of his large fur coat and tossed it on the bed.

"Will you allow me to ask you an important question?" Rygar asked him.

"You’re free to." Hunter responded.

"At first the plan was to take siege of the crescent pack, but yet we attacked Xaden under the guise of being a rogue pack." Rygar said. "I never questioned your judgment. Your plan worked and we drew her here. Why did you now let her go? Just when we now finally had her."

"Did you notice Jasmine when you first saw her?" Hunter asked after a prolonged silence.

He picked up a glass and poured himself wine.

"The way she carried herself." He stated. "With no power and yet she was alluring. Never seen a woman like that. The most stupid thing I’ve ever done and yet courageous. What woman heavily with pup would risk her life to save the life of her mate. Even when she had nothing to offer."

"I had assumed that after we had taken Xaden and used him as bait we would lay siege to his pack before taking her ourselves. But she came here. Did something I’ve never seen any woman do." He said. "That’s why she is different."

"But we had something to do." Rygar pointed out. "It’s not like you were in love with her."

Hunger said nothing.

He simply drank down his wine.
