The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride
Chapter 1
After three days on the road, Jasmine’s body was swore and ached.
They occasionally stopped to rest from time to time.
But because the horses were strong enough to journey up for four days non stop, the journey almost away continued.
It was difficult for her especially since she was an unshifted wolf.
She couldn’t exactly heal her wounds and deal with her pains like other wolves.
Plus she had just lost her baby.
She was still dealing with an enormous amount of pain.
She shifted uneasily in her seat.
Anna glared at her.
Jasmine remained in this position for a few minutes and found herself shifting.
She shifted ever so gently to avoid disturbing Nanny Nia.
But by the sixth movement Nanny Nia was awake.
"Jasmine are you okay?" Nanny Nia asked reaching out to her as she gently massaged her shoulders.
Jasmine gave a light smile. "I’m fine Nanny Nia. It’s nothing for you to worry about."
"Tjis journey was a mistake." Nanny Nia said as she placed her hand on Jasmine’s forehead and felt her temperature. "Yoy had barely healed."
"I couldn’t say no to the Queen." Jasmine said in all earnest. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Nanny Nia had protested her traveling.
When Nanny Nia had complained to Marie to tell Xaden that Jasmine was unfit to travel.
Marie had said something strange.
It was a day before the journey.
Marie who had come to check on her had gently touched Jasmine’s cheek.
"Perhaps going home would do her good." Marie had said.
Jasmine frowned.
Puzzled.
"Home?" Nanny Nia said aloud.
Marie didn’t reply.
She watched Jasmine’s eyes and tucked her loose red curls behind her ears.
"And maybe you would find what you’ve always needed." Marie said confusing Jasmine the more.
Eventually Marie switched and said the change of environment was going to do Jasmine good.
Before Marie left, Jasmine had hastily stopped her.
"Wait I need to ask you something." Jasmine said.
Marie nodded. "Yes? Go on?"
Jasmine reached out from under her pillow and pulled out the leather journal.
"You are a mage? I was hoping you would have insight into this." Jasmine said showing the book.
Marie picked it up.
She had an odd facial expression on.
Jasmine watched as Marie gently opened the book an flipped through the pages of scribbled notes.
"Where did you get this from?" She asked.
"It belonged to......Xaden’s mother." Jasmine said after a pause.
She didn’t like to mention his name.
She didn’t like to remember him.
She didn’t want to.
Marie rose a brow at her and then very gently set the book aside.
"He told me that she was interested in astronomy. She and my father’s brother." Jasmine said. "They were looking for a world that doesn’t exist. I just wanted to know more about them."
"Which?" Marie asked her fingers interlaced together. "Your uncle or the missing world?"
