The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 641

Chapter 641: THE PLAN!

Otto took the stairs so quickly he almost stumbled over himself.

His boots clattered against stone, echoing through the thick castle walls.

For the first time in five years.

five whole years

he was inside the pack.

Inside the home he had refused to step foot in.

Inside the place his wolf had nearly destroyed.

He paused only for a second at the bottom of the stairwell, breath shaking, eyes adjusting to the brightness.

The world downstairs felt different.

The air smelled different from the hostile air in his room high up in the tower.

It was so different from what he remembered it to be and then he frowned.

Did he even want to remember?

What difference did it make?

Servants rushed through the hallways with baskets and linens.

Guards walked in pairs. The lingering smell of pastries drifted from the kitchens. A maid laughed softly somewhere around the corner.

Otto blinked.

He hated it.

But he kept going.

His wolf growled under his skin, restless, pacing, sensing danger where there shouldn’t be any.

He tried to calm him down.

A small mistake and it could lose its mind again.

Some people in the hall stopped to stare, others took steps back, sensing something off about him something feral.

He ignored all of them.

He stopped the first maid he saw again.

It was a tiny young girl with braided hair and a basket of folded towels.

"Where is Jasmine?" Otto demanded.

The girl shrieked and stumbled backward, dropping half the towels on the floor.

Her eyes widened in terror.

"S... sir who who?"

He snapped, "I’M NOT ASKING WHO I AM! WHERE IS JASMINE?!"

The maid whimpered, trembling so hard the towels fluttered in her shaking hands.

Her wolf shrank back inside her, terrified

because she could sense what Otto was.

A wolf who had once gone rabid.

A wolf who still carried the scent of danger under his skin.

"T.. they..." she whispered, "t... they t... took her. The guards took her."

Otto’s breath froze.

"Took her where?"

"I I don’t know... I wasn’t there, sir, I didn’t please don’t don’t hurt me..."

He clenched his teeth in frustration and let her go so suddenly she flinched.

He didn’t bother apologizing.

He didn’t care.

He pushed past her and stormed into the main hall, trying to remember which hallway led where.

It had been so long... five years of isolation, of avoiding everyone after his wolf snapped.

He got lost twice.

Turned left when he should’ve gone right.

Knocked into a pillar.

Nearly walked into the kitchen.

"Damn this stupid place," he hissed under his breath.

Then all of sudden he saw her!

"Hildegard!"

His voice echoed loudly, bouncing against the carved pillars.

Hildegard turned sharply.

She stood in the middle of a heated argument with a gamma he could scent, her arms waving, her voice tight with tension. The Gamma looked frustrated; Hildegard looked furious.

But when she saw Otto.

Her jaw dropped.

"Otto?" she breathed, stunned. "What what are you doing down here?"
