The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417: THE SECRET BOOK

The next morning, Jasmine was in the astronomy room reading through Xaden’s mother’s journals and her uncle’s.

She had learned quite fast how to read and even knew how to write.

Nanny Nia had been shocked and did she had never seen anyone learn so well.

Jasmine wasn’t that good, but at least she could try.

Jasmine couldn’t deny the fact that learning how to read and write had come in very easy for her.

Perhaps it was her talent and the only thing she would ever be good at.

After all it was something that took her focus and put her mind off Xaden not having returned home and the news of her unborn baby.

First of all, quite early in the morning, she had run after Erik who was overseeing some projects.

"Erik I need to speak to you." She said catching up to him.

He smiled at her.

His perfect little grin. "My favorite she wolf in this pack. How is the little pup?"

"Uh... fine." She said with a smile. "I just wanted to ask if you have heard any news from Xaden yet. I’m worried."

Erik cocked a brow. "I thought I had told you to let it be Jasmine."

She sighed and fidgeted with her hands. "Yes I know. But I just... I’m worried about him. Isn’t this unusual? I feel like something is wrong. It’s been two weeks."

"Xaden can handle himself." Erik said. "I think you underestimate him."

"I know he can." Jasmine stressed and put her hand on her forehead and very gently massaged her brows. "Look. I know he can, but this feels different."

"You’re worrying." Erik has pointed out. "Xaden won’t like that. You are stressing yourself and the baby."

"Well Xaden nor the baby is here isn’t it?" Jasmine asked stubbornly.

"Since you won’t let me breathe, Look I’ve already sent out a search party two nights ago." Erik astonished her. "Why do you look that way? Isn’t it what you wanted me to do?"

"Uhm.... Er... huh... yes. I’m just.. why didn’t you tell me?" She questioned as she gently placed her hand on the bump.

"Because the next thing you are going fine on my neck asking for more information." Erik said. "Like now."

"Why didn’t you go?" Jasmine asked.

Erik gave her a look that seemed to ask her if she was insane.

"So that Erik would hang me by leaving the soon to be mother of his child alone?" Erik asked. "No thank you."

"He doesn’t care about me." Jasmine pointed out as she looked at the wolves training on the training ground. "Or the baby."

Erik scoffed. "You have no idea what you’re saying. And He will be fine. So let it be."

Jasmine rubbed her arms and then she saw Uther coming towards them.

Ever since the day Uther had made side remakes of sexual advances towards her, she had steered clear of his path.

She didn’t like him. One bit.

"But you’ll tell me if you get any updates on him?" She asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Erik nodded and then Jasmine hastily left his presence the moment Uther would have joined in their conversation. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

So she was up in the astronomy room reading through the journals.
