The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride
Jasmine is the first daughter of the great Alpha Bale. Because of her status as a bastard child, she lives a life maltreated scrubbing floors and attending to the needs of her father, step mother, step siblings and the entire pack. But her life makes a drastic turn when she is switched in place for her father’s legitimate daughter to be married off to the Handsome and Cold hearted Alpha Xaden. Xaden is determined to punish Jasmine for the sins of her father who had massacred his entire family, even though she is nothing like her father. Hate slowly turns to desire, fierce passion and finally love. But what happens when Xaden discovers that Jasmine, was planted as a spy to bring his downfall and was not in fact the original princess he was promised to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Let this be a lesson to everyone. Royal or not, Alpha or Omega," He declares. "You will steer clear of what is mine. In my own territory. In my pack." With that, he tosses the bloodied arm aside and takes Jasmine away from their shocked gaze.
HOSTAGE
I swallowed instantly.
"Now get out." He ordered me.
I jumped at his demand and calmly got out of my seat.
He opened the door for me and led me out.
"You better don't try anything funny, princess." He said.
I didn't say a word.
As soon as I stepped out of the carriage, I saw the chaos of the attack.
No one would notice if I slipped out and was taken hostage. There was blood and dead wolves on the floor.
He grabbed me and held the sword to my neck.
Then he forced me ahead of him, and all I did was walk. Soon, we were down in the forest.
"Move!" He snapped at me and prodded me forward.
I walked on, silent, wondering what to say.
"Where are we going, please?" I asked him.
"You don't ask any questions!" He snapped at me.
I remained mute.
Then he took me to where the other wolves were.
They were part of his rogue pack.
"Who is she?" Someone asked.
"She is important to them." He snapped. "I found her in the carriage. Waiting like a princess. Look, she is dressed as one!"
"We need to leave." Another said. "We are outnumbered. We're almost all dead. They killed us."
"Yes, but we will take her along, " he said. "We can use her to exchange and bargain with Xaden. I'm sure she is important to them."
"I'm not important to him," I said. "Whether you kill me or not doesn't matter. He won't come for me or pay a dime over my head."
"So why were you in a carriage?" He asked me.
I went mute.
"I thought as much." He gave a wry smile.
Then he snapped his fingers.
"We'll leave with her, " he said. "Get her ropes and tie her. She is coming along with us."
I tried to flee, but I was dragged back. I struggled until a punch knocked me silent.
Then, someone tied my hands and bound a rope around my body.
I was forced to stay put.
"Toss her on a horse; let's get going." He ordered.
A big man walked towards me in what seemed to be an attempt to lift me and toss me on the horses.
I felt a sudden presence and bolt of energy.
I didn't need to turn.
I saw Xaden standing in front of everyone.
And he didn't look too happy.
