The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 546

Chapter 546: XADEN’S DILEMMA

Xaden just stood staring down at his sister as she stutter and became eerily flustered.

He was furious with her but furious with himself over everything.

He began to wonder if the fact that he had longed for his bloodline had clouded his judgement.

He felt like a fool.

And then the worst feeling of all crept in

What if Jasmine had never had an affair with Hunter?

What if she indeed had gone to save him.

He felt a kick in his gut.

His mind began to spiral.

"Anna." He said as he rubbed his chin.

He hated having beards so he always made sure to keep it clear.

As his hands rubbed his perfectly hairless chin, he began. "What if Jasmine never planned to assassinate me? What if someone set this up?"

Anna’s face became dull. "I don’t know. I mean who would want to do that? Moreover we saw our family jewelry in her bag. We also saw the letters. And moreover why would Hunter let her go if she wasn’t in on the scheme."

"But why would he let her leave and come back? Why would she return if she wanted to be with him?" He retorted.

Anna’s chest went up and down as she took in rapid breaths.

"I don’t know. Maybe she betrayed him? Who knows these things?" She asked him sounding exhausted.

There were a lot of loopholes in the story.

Like why would she have the jewelry in her bag. The letters. And most of all, why would hunter a man who had wanted to have him dead, let the mother of his child survive.

Nothing made any sense.

And yet he couldn’t explain it.

This was the first time that he was seeing the story from an entirely different perspective.

From a clear and different view.

And he HATED how foolish he was.

He realized how quick he had been to decide.

How much is jealousy had taken a toll on him.

It had infuriated him.

The thought of Jasmine with anyone other than him.

Driven him to lengths of rage and bitterness he only shared with his enemies.

Not with a woman.

Never with a woman.

"Maybe this is what she wants." Anna said reaching out to him and gently touching his shoulder. "To make us fight. You’re my brother. I’ll never want to hurt you. I only want what’s best for you."

He rubbed his temples.

"Anna I don’t think I can trust you again." He said.

She looked at him with shock.

"What do you mean by that?" She requested. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Anna you gave me information that made me make a stupid decision." He said in anger. "Do you realize that? Can you see and understand now?"

Anna was numb. "This is what she wants. To make you hate me. Jasmine hates me. She has such a vendetta against me and you’re falling for it. Can’t you see?"

"I’ve seen Jasmine. And I don’t think she has the soul to hate anyone." He said.

He added a silent, except for me in it.

Anna looked dumbfounded.

"You don’t know her as much as I do!" She kicked against.

"I’ve known Jasmine more than I’ve known you." He replied.

Anna seemed about to faint.

He tried to hold her but she flinched.

He maintained his stance.

"When we return home from this trip , I would make a proper investigation into everything." He declared.

Anna seemed like she was about to woo.

"You’re treating her better than your own blood. She is the reason why I don’t have a mother. Why I never met eight of my parents." Anna said the tears already flowing down her cheeks.

"Anna-

But Anna was already running away from him.

He watched as she ran towards her tent and disappeared.

He just stood at a crossroads.

He had already lost Jasmine, and now he was about to lose his only season.

Before the crack of dawn they were already woken up ready to continue the journey.

Jasmine had been sitting in the carriage sipping hot tea from a flask that Nanny Nia had made for her.

"Where is she?" Anna asked staring at Anna’s vacant seat.

She had barely noticed it since they resumed the journey.

Her mind had been elsewhere, the events of the previous night.

When she had woken up, Xaden had ignored her and she had done the same.

She had noticed a few odd stares from the members with them and it occurred to her that they most likely had overheard her conversation.

She had wanted to dig a grave and never emerge.

So only hours after the journey when she was in a better state of mind, did she notice Anna’s empty seat.
