The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 505: THE QUEEN’S ULTIMATE DECISION

”B... but Cherry are you sure about this?” Rose asked worried. ”This rumor?”

”Of course Rose.” Cherry replied. ”Look from the information that I have been able to gather all around? During Xaden’s kidnapping, Jasmine had a hand in it. She knew this rogue Alpha who took him hostage. He was her lover.”

Rose blinked. ”Cherry that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. That girl looks like she could barely hurt a fly.”

”Looks like, doesn’t mean she can’t.” Cherry imputed disliking the fact that her sister still refused to see through. ”You don’t even know this girl. The one time you met her, she was put in a cell for murder. You had to pardon her. I still don’t know why you did all of this.”

Rose rubbed her temples. ”I don’t know. Something just calls me to her.”

”She is the daughter of Bale. Same bale who killed Xaden’s family, stole his sister and raised as his own. Bale was a monster. A product of a monster is a monster.” Cherry pointed out.

Rose shook her head and rose up from the bed.

She began to pace the room.

”I find this all hard to believe.” Rose shook her head. ”How is it that you have come ro hear these news and I haven’t.”

Cherry’s tongue became tied instantly.

”I was just informed about it.” Cherry said. ”Was going to tell you today.”

”Anything else I need to know?” Rose said with her brows furrowed together.

”She lost her pregnancy.” Cherry said regretfully.

She wished she didn’t have to inform her sister about this piece of information but she had no choice.

If Rose knew that she was hiding more things then she would begin to be wary of her.

And that was the last thing she needed.

Rose’s face fell with worry, sympathy and grief all at once.

She covered her mouth and gasped to herself.

She took in a deep breath and swallowed.

”She was with child? For who?” Rose asked her voice trembling.

”Xaden.” Cherry remarked dryly.

”How long was it?” Rose asked.

Cherry pressed her lips. ”They said the pregnancy had progressed quickly and she was only a few months left to birth.”

Rose covered her face and turned around.

She remained silent for a while as she processed the information.

”How did this happen?” Rose asked finally.

Cherry shrugged. ”Those details weren’t given to me.”

Oh she knew alright.

If Rose knew that Jasmine was locked in a cell and had bled to near death, then she might demand her presence in the Royal Pack today.

”That must have been a dreadful thing for her to go through.” Rose stated. ”The poor thing. I can’t even imagine what she is feeling. Xaden putting her through all that.”

Cherry said nothing.

”It is quite a sad thing.” Cherry admitted with false sympathy. ”But I still think you should keep her away for a while. She has enough enemies. We don’t want to make the people angry perhaps cause an upro-

”I am the people.” Rose cut in. ”As the Queen that’s who I am.”

Cherry closed her mouth.

Rose sighed and turned her face to look out through the open window.

”You will send word to the Crescent pack.” Rose began. ”Informing them that my invitation is still valid. Xaden himself, his sister Anna, his Uncle Uther, his mate Lily, his adoptive sister Fiona....”

Cherry was relieved not to hear Jasmine’s name until she heard Rose said. ”And Jasmine.”

Cherry’s face fell instantly.

”But Rose I just-

”And I will expect them to arrive in two weeks to visit.” Rose finished cutting Cherry right through her sentence.

Cherry sighed. ”Rose I understand you perhaps have a soft spot for her. More so, since you now know she lost a child. But she is bad news. I don’t want her using your grief as a means to exploit you. What do you think members of the council will say.”

”I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY SAY!!!” Rose screamed in retaliation and the room began to shake.

Once she calmed down it stopped.

Cherry looked around.

She didn’t think Rose still had her powers as Queen Luna.

She had assumed that since her descent into madness and her poisoning, her powers would be non existent.

But apparently she was wrong.

Rose tooo in a deep breath but didn’t apologize.

”I’m sick and tired of thinking of what everyone is going to say or what they are thinking.” Rose stated. ”It’s my decision to make. My call to make. Yes Jasmine is a bought slave, daughter to a monster. I don’t quite care. She is a lovely girl and as you have just informed me. She has gone through something quite terrible. No one deserves that.”

Cherry gave a tight smile.

She knew her sister well enough to know that she had made up her mind.

Her show of power was proof that no one could change it.

Cherry nodded. ”Of course I understand that. It’s your call to make.”

Cherry rose up from the bed.

Rose remained standing with her arms folded.

Her straight fire red hair vibrant from the show of power it had just displayed.

Cherry did not like this new information at all.

She had underestimated her sister.

”I’ll do ask you have asked.” Cherry said. ”Is there anything else I can do for you?”

Rose shook her head. ”No that would be all.”

Cherry gave her usual tight smile. ”Alright.”

And with that, Cherry walked out of the room.

Once she stepped out of the room and shut the door behind her, she ignored the guards and walked down the hallway.

It actually infuriated her.

How stubborn her sister was being.

And what shocked her the most was the revelation that her sister still had her powers.

That stupid bitch.

Just when she had planned to take the entire wolf kingdom, it had all gone to shit.

As she was walking down the hallway she felt a firm hand grab her and pull her into a dark room.
