The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 277: THE BETRAYED ONES

As they passed through the crowd Jasmine hoped that the men who were supposedly guarding her would hide her well.

But Jared turned around to speak to someone and stopped short when he saw her.

”Halt.” He said.

Everyone stopped moving and then he walked up to where she was standing.

Xaden’s eyes followed him like a hungry wolf.

”You are with Bale’s daughter. So the rumors are true.” He said sizing her up and down.

Jasmine hated him.

He was one of the many disgusting alphas that had eyes for her.

Had even made a passive joke about her father handing him to her.

But her father had said nothing.

Jared attempted to reach out to her face when Xaden cut him short immediately.

”Cut that fake shit. We already know that she is not his legitimate daughter.” Xaden said already stepping in.

Jasmine was breathing heavily, looking him dead in the eye.

Jared gave her a malicious look and withdrew his hand and touched his hands together.

”Well you have the bastard.” Jared said.

Xaden’s face clenched together in anger but said nothing.

Sensing the high tension but not willing to make any moves that will bring up immediate chaos, Jared stepped and turned to look at Xaden.

”I do not have any intentions on fighting with you Jared.” Xaden said. ”Not today at least. So do not make me.”

Jared rose a brow. ”Is that a threat?”

”Call it what you would like.” Xaden replied with a shrug. ”But I have said what needs to be said.”

Jasmine wondered what the inner tension and unspoken words were all about.

Jared simply ignored Xaden and went on ahead.

Jasmine sighed in with heavy relief and they all resumed working.

”Wait. Wait.”

Jasmine turned around and saw that it was a young man probably in his twenties running up to them with a very large bag on his back.

Then he went to walk with her to her surprise.

Her body guards became alert immediately.

She did not even know who he was.

”Hey I’m the healer.” The man complained.

Erik who had witnessed the small commotion waved his hand.

”Let him he is who he says he is.”

The guard frowned at Ned and then reluctantly pulled away his sword.

”Thank you.” Ned said and going together with them.

”How are you feeling?” He asked. ”I wa one one who treated you, you may not quite recall.”

”Oh.” She said in surprise. ”Then that means that you saved my life. Thank you.”

”You are welcome.” He said.

”Yoh seem too young to be a healer a lot of the healers that I have met are usually old.” She said.

”Yes but they all have to start from

Somewhere don’t they.” He said. ”I have been meaning to train and be a healer. Help people and also discover treatments that I tend healers have been unable to. I heard that your healer in the moonlight pack is very very gifted.”

She nodded. Urma.

”Yes she is. But I don’t think she will accept you in I am afraid.” She admitted with a sigh.

He shook his head and shrugged his shoulder.

”No worries. I am used to their harsh words.” He said.

She smiled.

He tripped and almost fell down and then one of her guards glared at him.

”Sorry.” He said. Then he turned and looked at her. ”I am a bit clumsy.”

She gave a light shrug. ”No worry.”

This is was because her mind was already elsewhere.

She was thinking about Jared and rightfully so she did not trust him.

There was no way he would just give up and let them in just like that.

She needed to forewarn Xaden. But he would not listen to her so her best best was through Erik.

The guards did not seem to be ready to let her go anytime soon.

So she whispered to the healer. ”What is your name?”

”Ned.” He said. ”Ned stark.”

She nodded. ”Ned could you please find a way for you to meet Erik and tell him that he should be wary of Alpha Jared. He is not to be trusted and a very close friend of my father’s. He could be planning things up his sleeve.”

”Hey no whispering!” The guard snapped at them and she went hush.

She looked at him signaling in a pleading motion for him to go.

Eventually Ned stretched and said. ”It was nice discussing with you.”

And with that he went straight ahead of the procession to where Erik was.

She watched him discuss with Erik and then Erik turned to look at her and then he nodded and turned ahead.

Ned simply went on ahead with the procession.

Jasmine became worried that she had not explained how urgent it was and that perhaps Ned had not relayed the information appropriately.

She watched as Kire had been placed in very large cage with wheels and was rolled away.

The wolf whimpered when he saw her and Jasmine was said as she was unable to do a single thing to help him.

She knew why Erik had locked him up.

Kire would have ripped the wolves who had put her in chains in to shreds.

As they walked on ahead, Evetually Jared led them out of his pack.

His wolves were standing at the wall.

Members of his pack all watching.

With Xaden’s army fully out of his pack and now being less than an hour’s walk away from the moonlight pack, Jared turned to face them.

”It seems that it is time for you to go in your own.” Jared said. ”Barbarious Alpha and his pack.”

Xaden started to take a step closer but Erik held him.

”It was a joke.” Jared laughed and then he turned and went back towards his own pack.

Tney resumed their journery and by almost an hour since they went pat Jared’s pack, they were closing in.

And Jasmine finally saw the large wall and gates of her home pack.

What they saw stunned them.

There were a number of arrows hanging by the fence with wolves pointed at them.

Ready to attack.

”That fucking Asshole.” Xaden swore at Jared knowing he had betrayed them.
