The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: XADEN’S NEW FOUND FRIEND

"What’s your name?" he asked, voice softer.

"Marro," the boy said with a small smile.

"Marro..." Xaden rasped, memorizing it. "You’re braver than most grown wolves I know."

Marro beamed.

Xaden swallowed the last of the water and reached down to his wrist. With effort, he tugged free the thick leather band he wore, marked with his family crest and rank.

It was weathered, stained, but unmistakable.

He pressed it into Marro’s hand.

"There’s a pack not far from here, by the Brown River. Find the outer province. Show this to the guards. They’ll know who I am and send help."

Marro clutched the band tightly.

"I’ll go right away," he said.

"No shortcuts," Xaden warned. "Avoid the main trail. Don’t let anyone see that."

Marro nodded, face serious now. "I’ll be careful. I promise."

And just like that, he turned and disappeared into the forest, running with purpose.

Xaden leaned back against the roots, heart heavy but flickering with hope. He’d done what he could. Maybe help would come.

Marro ran down the forest, Xaden’s band tucked in his pockets as he eagerly hurried to accomplish his quest.

His mother was going to give him a serious beating if she found out that he had been running around the forests especially now that they had been having issues with Alpha Hunter and his rogue pack.

They were all wary and scared of coming out of their homes.

He was a big scary man, Marro had heard but he wanted to see him.

He wasn’t afraid of him.

He felt that if he was given the chance to fight him, he would defeat him.

Once he was of age and able to shift yo his wolf, he would easily defeat him.

The man in the woods.

Once he had seen him and seen the trail of blood, he should have run off.

But something had told him to follow and find him and he did.

The man had been almost dead.

He should have run the moment he head seen him lying down like that.

It was what his mother would have expected him to. But something told Marro that he was a good man and he needed to

Help him.

And sure enough the man had turned out to be injured.

He didn’t know why, but he had to help him now.

As Marro hurried down towards the market where he knew he would find his

Way to the brown River park, he felt an arm grab him and haul him up.

It was none other than his mother.

"You little devil!" She shrieked. "Where have you been?"

His lips trembled in fear. He started to lie.

"I was playing with Olaf and Gabby."
