The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: THE GLOWING NECKLACE

My feet felt heavy as they guided me through the corridors.

Every step echoed too loudly in my ears.

"Your majesty," the man said again, gesturing for me to walk ahead of him.

I hated the word.

It felt foreign.

Too heavy.

Too dangerous.

I still wondered how insane this was.

A group of wolves in the distant lands committing treason by calling me their majesty.

It made no sense.

Perhaps they were all insane.

I suspected it.

And all I had to do was play along until I could find my way out of here.

Or better still, uncle I saw my uncle Aiden and he would help me out of this.

Hopefully he was nothing like Bale.

I clutched my cloak tighter around myself, my other hand instinctively resting over my stomach as if I could shield my child from whatever awaited me.

We passed through halls carved from dark stone, lit by torches that hissed softly as we moved. Wolves lined the walls.

Some, some robed, all watching me with an intensity that made my skin crawl.

Not curiosity.

Recognition.

That frightened me more than chains ever could.

"Stop calling me that," I said finally, my voice tight. "I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I’m not royalty."

The man glanced back at me, then slowed his pace.

"This is no game," he replied calmly. "And if you were not who we believe you to be, you would not have made it past the healer’s door."

My heart thudded painfully.

"You mean the woman who slapped me?" I snapped.

He paused and everyone else stopped.

He slowly turned to look at me and then his hands reached out to my cheek.

"May I?" He asked before his fingers touched them.

I gave a slight shrug and then he very gently caressed the place where the imprint lay.

Then he looked at the stern cold faced Healer before turning back to me.

"She did this to you your majesty?" He asked me.

I felt a chill in bones once I heard him refer to me as his majesty.

I wanted to tell myself that they were all insane.

That they were all mad wolves who were times fifty worse than Otto worse.

But I didn’t.

I kept my mouth shut.

I didn’t say a word to him, my eyes simply diverted healer who stood with her face emotionless.

"My apologies." he said and then he snapped his fingers at healer.

She came right to his very before in a matter of minutes.

And then it happened too fast.

Before I could say a word, he smacked her right across the face.

Except it wasn’t his palm.

He had so expertly and quickly shifted his hands to his massive wolf claws before reverting back.
