The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597: A COMPANION

I rose a brow at his words.

Xaden was worried about me?

Xaden who barely noticed me?

And then it slowly hit me.

Lately Xaden had been showing a lot of attention towards me.

His jealousy streak in the ball room had been so evident and despite being uncommon, I found it very appealing.

In fact it seemed to make me even want him more.

Seeing him angry over me dancing with someone other than him.

And now Xaden was furious with me over drinking alcohol.

"I was just a bit thirsty." I said in all honesty. "I truly had no idea it was heavy rum. I thought a little bit of wine."

Xaden had an annoyed mixed with a worried expression boldly written on his face.

I looked down at my hands.

"I’m sorry." I managed.

I was unable to even stare into his eyes.

He sighed exasperated before he left the bedside.

I began to feel terrible.

Just when he was showing me that he cared, he didn’t anymore.

I chewed my bottom lip as the weight of the incoming loneliness enveloped me.

But to my surprise Xaden didn’t leave, rather he went to the far end of the bedroom and returned with a glass.

He sat on the bed and gently handed it to me.

"Drink." He said.

I accepted without question and began to sip.

"Careful." He cautioned.

I did and it tasted like a ginger and lemon juice mixed with other herbs.

It instantly cured my throbbing headache and the wave of nausea I felt, started to fade off.

"How do you feel now?" He asked me closely. "Better?"

I nodded. "Yes I do. It tastes like magic."

He collected the empty glass and set it on a table.

"It’s a concoction Eleanor used to make for me whenever I got intoxicated." He said.

Eleanor.

I knew that her death had taken a toll on him and I couldn’t imagine what he went through carrying all that pain.

Then I thought of myself who had lost my own baby and carried that pain every minute of the day.

I heard a loud gush of wind blow before thunder struck.

I jumped in fright, but his hand swiftly touched my shoulder.

In that instant I became calm.

"It’s just a thunder." He assured me.

I nodded and soon I could hear the heavy dropping of rain.

"Well, it seems the goddess is angry with us tonight." He said absentmindedly as he rose up to his feet.

I watched him walk up to the balcony and close the flinging windows shut.

"What really happened last night?" I said as I massaged my temple. "Why did the lights just go off as you said?"

"All the glasses shattered too. See?" He said pointing to the windows.

To my greatest surprise I saw that the glasses were actually broken.

He shut the window close before using the curtains to prevent the rain from spilling inside.

"What happened? All of them?" I said in disbelief as I sat up properly.
