The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 376: CREATING A NEW VILLAIN

”What?” Lily said as she dropped the spoon she was using to fetch sugar.

”Yes.” Anna said relishing in the moment. ”That was what he told me. I shouldn’t have said anything.”

”I... it’s o.. okay.” Lily managed.

But Anna could see that it was not okay.

Lily’s face was pale and white like she had just seen a ghost.

Anna took delight in the fact she had succeeded in hurting Lily’s feelings and getting a reaction out of her.

Xaden’s admission to Jasmine being pregnant had thrown her under the horse.

She couldn’t believe it.

It was the LAST thing she had expected from either of them.

But she had been forced to put a show.

If Xaden had our Jasmine in their mother’s room then it meant that he cared about her.

And that was why she didn’t trust how much bad information she could give him about her or how Tudor she acted towards her.

He might begin to suspect that she was hiding her true self from him.

So she had been forced to act happy for the both of them when in reality she was furious.

Lily was her best bet of Jasmine out of the pack.

She was his mate after all.

Anna got up from her seat and hovered over to where Lily was.

She gently held her arms and rubbed her back.

”I am so sorry that you had to find out like this.” Anna said and her words made Lily begin shedding tears.

Anna picked up a handkerchief and handed it to Lily.

”Thank you.” Lily said in appreciation.

She cleaned her eyes and blew her nose and sniffed.

”I am so sorry you had to see me like this”. Lily apologized.

”There is nothing wrong with you expressing how you feel.” Anna assured her. ”You are my brother’s mate. It is you who should carry his child, not some random slave. I don’t trust her. If you know the horrible things she did to me.”

And then Anna sniffed and forced herself some tears.

”Excuse me. I am sorry.” Anna said turning her face around to hide fake tears.

She felt Lily’s hand on her shoulders.

”I didn’t know she was this terrible.” Lily said. ”I only saw her as a defenseless slave.”

Anna have a funny laugh and cleaned her tears. ”Defenseless slave my foot. She was such a horrible person to me back in her father’s pack.”

And then she proceeded to spin fake stories of how Jasmine had been the princess in the pack while she had been the one suffering and made to work morning and night.

Lily took in her story, believing her every word.

”I and so sorry that you went through that.” Lily said in disbelief.

Anna nodded wiping a tear.

”I did.”

”Does Xaden know this?” Lily asked.

”No. He doesn’t. A lot of people don’t.” Anna sighed. ”I don’t want people to know. I think she deserves a second chance. Or so I thought until she trapped my brother in this pregnancy.”

”You’re an honorable person.” Lily said. ”Anyone would rub it in her face but you. You choose to give her a chance.”

”It’s nothing. But now that she has done this. You can see why I don’t trust her.” Anna said. ”I can’t let her deceive my brother. She is dangerous and you are the only one who can save him.”

”I really underestimated her.” Lily said deep in thought.

”A lot of people do and that’s why she gets away with everything she does.” Anna said. ”I care about my brother and you are the only one who can save him.”

Lily was quiet for a while before saying. ”What can I do?”

And Anna smiled knowing she finally had a big breakthrough.

It was only a matter of time before she got rid of Jasmine once and for all.

”I know just the thing.” Anna said with a coy devilish smile.

After Anna had left the room, Lily gathered her things to resume her duties in the pack .

She bumped into Uther.

”Uther.” She said curtseying. ”I didn’t see you coming.”

” it’s alright.” He said gently patting her shoulder. ”You seem very busy.”

”I took over Jasmine’s work while she was unwell.” Lily said.

”Ah yes.” Uther acknowledged. ”The slave. Did you hear what happened to her?”

”That she fell ill?” Lily asked. ”Yes I did. That’s why I took over.”

”Xaden took her to find a doctor himself.” Uther pointed out. ”She has become increasingly close to him. It’s supposed to be you who should be close to him. You are his mate.”

”I know.” Lily acknowledged. ”She is pregnant.”

Uther’s mouth dropped open in shock.

”Don’t tell Xaden.” She said quickly. ”I doubt a lot of people know. So if you confront him, then he might know it’s from me.”

Uther stuttered unable to say a word.

”How do you know this? How sure are you?” He asked stunned.

”Anna told me.” Lily replied. ”That’s why she was so sick.”

Uther gripped his fists together.

”That whore.” He said viciously. ”How can Xaden mix our bloodline with that enemies’s. Now our bloodline will be together with their. An abomination.”

Uther was visibly upset.

”Are they keeping the baby.” He demanded.

”From all indicators yes. He even took her to his mother’s bedroom gave it to her as her new bedroom.” She informed him.

Uther was dumbstruck.

”He gave her my sister’s room?” Uther asked lost. ”He gave that bitch my sister’s bedroom.”

He raked his hair and then turned to Lily.

”Now you understand why Jasmine is a threat to you. I told you from the beginning that she was bad news.” Uther pointed out. ”But you didn’t listen. Now do you see that all she wants to do is that Xaden away from you?”

Lily nodded. ”I see now. And I know how to handle her. I’ll see you later Uther.”

And with that she left him standing in the hallway.
