The Alpha's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 654: ANSWER TO THE THRONE

(OKAY, MY READERS, I MADE AN ERROR. XADEN DOESN’T COME IN YET, SO PLEASE CARRY ON FROM HERE)

Rose trembled and seemed to be in a deteriorating state of mind.

Cherry considered using the chaos to take Auburn away.

Her eyes darted from left to right before she mistakenly made eye contact with The flame, who was glaring at her like a hawk watching its prey.

She gritted her teeth.

The bitch!

Rose’s hands trembled as she set her hand against her temple, trying to get a hold of her breath.

Cherry could tell her sister was overwhelmed.

”Just give me a GODDAMN minute!” Rose screamed in anger, and no one uttered a word.

She took in a deep breath as she fidgeted with her hankie before slowly turning to face the wall and backing away.

No one said a word.

After a few minutes of tense silence, Rose slowly turned back to face everyone.

She sniffed, and her face had become puffy.

”How did you meet Jasmine?” Rose asked.

The flame paused before speaking. ”I told you. She came to me. She was looking for her lineage, and I discovered only after she had gone. I traced Scarlett and found out she was her daughter.”

Rose was trembling.

Rose turned to the flame, her eyes puffy and her sniffs constant.

The flame walked up to Auburn.

Auburn tried to retract her steps and move back, but the Flame caught her and dragged the necklace on her bosom.

The emerald necklace glistened, and then, to everyone’s shock, she snatched it off her neck.

Rose, Cherry, and Coral screamed at her not to.

But it was too late, the emerald necklace was in her palm.

Rose looked around. Everyone looked at each other, but nothing happened.

Everywhere was as still and quiet as it had been.

Cherry knew the deal was up.

”If she were the true princess, she would have the real emerald, but this is a fake. The pack would have shaken; monsters would have slowly begun to emerge. But nothing.” She said, and the silence began to eat into everyone’s soul.

Now all eyes were on Auburn.

She took a step back and retracted, aware that she was in enemy territory.

She looked at Cherry, and Cherry flashed her eyes, warning her to stay silent.

Rose turned to Auburn. ”How could you? You monster! You took advantage of a grieving mother and took me to your own advantage?!”

Auburn was shaking so violently, and soon the tears began to flow.

She stuttered, trying to find a word to speak

Cherry wished she could use magic to seal her lips, but using magic could get her into trouble.

The mage could sense it and expose her, so she was forced to look at Auburn with eyes of warning.

Then Auburn fell to her knees and began to weep and beg Rose.

”Please forgive me. I beg you.” She wept. ”I didn’t mean to. I only needed a family. This wasn’t me.”

Rose kicked her with her perfect shoes, and Auburn’s lips soon bled.

”How did you know I was looking for my granddaughter?” Rose demanded. ”Only members of the royal family were aware. SO how did you know?”

Auburn’s busted lip was now hovering violently in fear.

She looked from one person to the other. ”Er.... I... uh....”

”This entire time, you set Jasmine up! You lied about her stealing the necklace. You-

And Rose paused.

She looked at Auburn, her eyes warning with rage. ”You KNEW! YOU KNEW THAT JASMINE WAS MY GRANDDAUGHTER! YOU KNEW! THAT WAS WHY YOU SET HER UP!”

Now Rose’s skin had become fire.

Every single flesh came in fire.

Her eyes were raging red, and her voice became small.

The fire on her body wasn’t burning as much.

”This entire time you knew.” Rose blinked in disbelief in a bare whisper. ”You knew about my bay girl, and you used that against me.”

Auburn was shaking, her entire body trembling.

The fire slowly rose to new heights, and she grabbed Auburn’s arms, burning them by mere impact.

”You want to be Queen, don’t you? You want to be Queen so much?” She demanded.

Auburn cried as she tried to push Rose’s hands, but she was only met with more fire.

Rose dragged Auburn to the throne that had been in the royal pack for centuries.

Auburns screamed and wailed for forgiveness.

Her arm that Rose held was visibly black and burned.

Her skin was burning from being so close to Rose.

Rose grabbed her other arm and held her up.

Auburn screamed.

”HERE. I WILL MAKE YOU QUEEN!” Rose said, looking into Auburn’s eyes.

Cherry didn’t object.

She knew what was about to happen.

The others in the room screamed in a frenzy.

Rose pushed her into the seat of the Royal monarch.

Auburn took a breath, trying to get herself together.

She sat up, but the seat pulled her back, and then all of a sudden, the seat caught blazing an unusual red, and Auburn burned.

She screamed in terror, begging for the pain to stop.

But she couldn’t leave because it was as though the seat held her firmly.

Soon her body started to disintegrate, and the flesh was tearing up.

In a matter of seconds, Auburn’s screams died down, and her skeleton began to become visible.

But the inferno wasn’t over.

It continued to burn until all that was left were ashes.

The royal throne didn’t just reject royal lines; it burned off wolves or anyone who was not of royal line who tried to take the seat.

Burned them until there was nothing in sight.

Rose was breathing so hard, and she turned back to face everyone.

”WHERE THE FUCK IS MY GRAND DAUGHTER?” Rose demanded.

There was an eerie silence, and none other than the King came into the room.

His footsteps slowed down once he saw the bits of ash on the floor beside the throne.

”Wh.... What just.... What.... Happened?” He asked, lost.
