The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423: THE POISON

There was a pregnant silence in the room.

"What?" Lily said finally breaking the silence.

"Yes." Anna sighed massaging her temple.

Lily couldn’t believe this.

Uther was in on this too?

She knew that Uther very badly wanted her to become Luna and Xaden’s crowned mate.

But she had never thought that he would be involved in trying to kill Jasmine.

"How did this even happen?" Lily asked once she finally found the words to put together.

Anna shrugged. "He just came to me one day. He knows that I never liked Jasmine and he knows that I don’t want her here. So he sort of spoke to me about it. He was the only one I could ask to help get me poison. Who else could I have gone to?"

"Gods." Lily said raking her hair with her fingers and she began to pace the room.

But Anna wasn’t telling the exact truth.

~~~~~~~~

A FEW DAYS AGO

Anna had just finished discussing with Lily on how they were going terminate Jasmine and was still finding a way for her to get rid of her.

It was almost a week now and yet she still hadn’t come up with something.

If she was back in the moonlight pack, she would have something to use against Jasmine.

She would have someone that she could send to get a poison or try to kill her.

But all to no avail.

The crescent pack was different and she had to be careful who she told what.

She wanted to maintain the image of the long most daughter who had suffered a miserable life but was still good and loving.

No one could know who she truly was, she doubted Xaden would forgive her.

She didn’t trust Lisa to get a potent enough poison so that was out of the plan.

As Anna started to think hard of ways she could kill Jasmine, she heard a knock at the door.

She rolled her eyes in disgust.

"WHO IS IT?!" she asked in the most singsong perfect voice ever.

"It’s your uncle Uther." She heard.

She groaned irritated.

Now what did he want?

She fixed a very fake and convincing smile, completely hiding her initially displeased face.

"You can come in uncle." She called from her desk.

The door opened and he came in.

She smiled at him.

"Ahhh.... My only niece." He said with a smile.

He walked up to her and kissed her forehead.

"I came by to check up on you." Uther said. "Since your brother isn’t around and left you in my care."

She smiled sweetly. "Uncle that is really sweet of you. I’m fine. Just trying to have sometime alone."
