The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: A SURPRISE MEAL

Early the following day, I woke up before any of the men.

I got down from the carriage and saw that they were all asleep.

When I walked up ahead towards the green forest we had found our way through, I saw the men keeping watch by the trees.

It had not been on purpose, but they were asleep.

I couldn't find Xaden in sight.

Maybe he slept elsewhere.

I hurried through the forests and searched for mushrooms and spices.

Once I found them, I put them in the little bag Xaden gave me last night's food.

I was careful not to pick the dangerous mushrooms.

Back home in the pack, Urma, a healer, had shown me how to pick mushrooms and spices and differentiate them from poisonous ones.

Also, I had been cooking in the kitchen and knew how to make meals.

I looked for other ingredients, like pepper and onions.

It was a vibrant forest; you would think someone farmed it while growing in the wild.
