The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 372: BACK HOME

He rode inside the pack and then his men came around to assist them down from the horse.

Xaden came down first and then helped her down from the horse.

One of the guards took away the horse and they went on their way.

”Jasmine!”

It was Fiona.

She was racing down the front steps and hurried towards where they were.

She had a plain muslin blue dress and her dark hair was left flowing down her shoulders.

She hurried up to Jasmine and hugged her.

”You look so much better.” Fiona said touching her cheek and looking all over. ”Is everything okay? Are you fine?”

Jasmine nodded. ”I’m okay.l

”Thank the goddess you’re okay.” Fiona said. ”You looked like hell when I had seen you. What was wrong with you? What happened?”

Jasmine looked uncertainly at Xaden and then Xaden said. ”That’s a lot of questions. Jasmine is still weak and you bombarding her with so many questions while we are standing under the sun, I don’t think that such a good idea.”

”Of course.” Fiona said stepping back. ”You’re right. I am so sorry. You need to rest.”

Jasmine gave a smile. ”Thank you.”

And then Jasmine started to progress towards the doors with Xaden right behind her.

She felt the eyes around her as she walked up towards the steps in the large hall.

Loren’s quarters was at the highest part of the castle and when she thought about how much steps she was going to be climbing, she shivered.

As she began to climb the steps she felt herself begin to feel dizzy again.

Was this how it was going to be throughout her entire pregnancy?

Feeling weak and faint all the time?

Xaden caught her waist and before she could stop him, he scooped her up in his arms.

”What are you doing?” She asked him stunned.

”You’re going to faint if you climb that fleet of stairs on your own.” He said.

She started to argue. ”I’m fine. I can do it on my own. Plus the maids and others are watching.”

From the corner of her eye, she could see them glancing and staring as they walked past.

”I don’t care.” He stated and she knew that that was the end of their conversation.

”He is right though.” Fiona said wisely. ”You look like you could faint by any minute. Let him take you.”

Jasmine nodded even though she knew that whether she liked it or not, he was still going to do what he wanted.

So she remained quiet as he carried her up the steps and Fiona followed them behind suit.

The reached the third floor and then instead of him to follow the west wing of the Castle, he followed the other east wing.

She frowned, lost and confused.

”You’re going the wrong way.” She said.

The west wing was the only side to follow leading up to Loren’s quarters.

”Yeah she is right.” Fiona said. ”Loren’s quarters is that way.”

”Who said we were going to Loren’s quarters.” Xaden asked as he continued the way towards the east wing.

”That’s where I sleep.” Jasmine said confused at this point.

Before he could answer both their questions, Lily came almost bumping into them from a corner.

There was a maid with her and she had a large book in her hand.

They had been discussing looking through the book when she stopped short on seeing him.

”Xaden.” She said surprised.

And then she became even more surprised when she saw Jasmine in his arm.

”Lily.” He said.

And then she handed the book to the maid and clasped her hands together.

”I didn’t know I’ll see you back so soon.” She said. And then she turned to look at Jasmine. ”I heard what happened How are you feeling now? Is everything okay?”

Jasmine smiled at her. ”Yeah I’m much better.”

”That’s good to hear.” Lily nodded. ”What happened though? Did you find out what went wrong?”

Jasmine found it uncomfortable answering the questions especially since she was hanging in his arms.

She felt like a child.

”I think Jasmine should rest before answering any questions now.” Xaden swooped into her rescue.

”Of course.” Lily said.

Jasmine was so uncomfortable she wondered how Lily felt seeing her mate carrying another woman in his arms.

She was also aware of the fact that Xaden had not really put much attention on Lily.

And she felt extremely guilty.

”You should rest.” Lily said and then she started to walk past when she ripped and turned back. ”Actually Jasmine while you were gone the workers were stranded so I decided to help in looking over them and making a few orders here and there. I hope that’s okay?”

”Of course it’s fine.” Jasmine said. ”Thank you. I appreciate it.”

Jasmine further felt guilty.

She was not supposed to be the one working on overseeing the pack.

It was supposed to be either Lily because she was his mate after all or Anna because she was his sister.

Jasmine had no moral right to hold the position she occupied.

None at all and she felt like an imposter in their midst.

She started to feel the same way she had first when she had impersonated Jessica who was now and it made her feel terrible.

Lily nodded with a smile and went off.

”I think you are going the wrong way.” Lily said turning back to them. ”Doesn’t she stay at Loren’s quarters and then the west wing leads to Loren’s quarters, not the east wing.”

Lily laughed uneasily. ”I know why do I know so much? I kind of got lost one time trying to get some medicine from him.”

Fiona, Jasmine, Lily and even the maid looked up at him waiting for a response.

Because they too had no idea where he was taking her too.

”She won’t be staying at Loren’s quarters anymore.” Xaden stated.

”Oh?” They all mumbled in surprise.
