The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: NEAR DEATH

Ned handed her the reins of the horse and then Eli, the omega who frequently escorted her on her horse ride, came towards them as he was on his own horse.

"Where is Xaden?" Loren asked amidst the small crowd.

If there was one person who didn’t refer to Xaden by his title it was Loren.

Jasmine’s face went grim once she remembered him.

"He hasn’t been home in two weeks. He went to settle some disputes with rival packs." She expressed bitterly.

"I see." Loren said.

"Has he ever stayed this long before?" Jasmine asked.

Remembering that Xaden still hadn’t returned, put her in panic and anxiety.

Nanny Nia sensing what was wrong quickly intervened.

"Jasmine." Nanny Nia said sweetly. "You need to start your ride and finish in time for your herbal medicine."

Jasmine’s face was solemn.

"Well I need to go for my daily horse riding." Jasmine said sadly as she was helped unto her horse. "Marie insists that it’s important for me and going to help the baby."

"Well we would be waiting for you inside the pack." Loren informed her as he dragged a reluctant Ned away.

"Go on off boy." Nanny Nia said to Kire who had approached her side.

"I thought Kire was going to be punished." Jasmine said in delight as Kire wagged his massive tail once he was at her side.

"Erik changed his mind." Nanny Nia said

Jasmine smiled and waved at them before riding off with Kire following right after.

Nanny Nia stood with her hands on her waist as she looked at Loren disapprovingly.

"What?" Loren asked slightly annoyed.

She shook her head. "Jasmine is heavily pregnant you shouldn’t have asked her about him."

Loren frowned. "I had no idea that he was even gone from the pack."

Nanny Nia rubbed her arms and stood with him. "He has been gone for a very long time now."

"Jasmine said he left two weeks ago?" Loren asked stunned.

"Yes." Nanny Nia admitted.

"And just for a rival pack dispute?" He asked. "That’s too long."

"Erik thinks so too." Nanny Nia whispered as though Jasmine could hear them. "He sent out search parties, but they haven’t found anything. We haven’t been able to tell Jasmine that part because she would start to panic. And it will affect her baby. Loren you’re the pack healer and the only person I’ve heard is like a father to her. Jasmine’s pregnancy is dangerous. She might die."

"Her pregnancy is already complicated as it is. Hearing bad news about Xaden might put her into jeopardy."

"Is that why you had the wolf follow her?" Loren asked confused.

"No." Nanny Nia shook her head and then she leaned in closer to him and whispered. "I have good reason to think that some people want to poison her. Kire is the only one person I can ever leave her with alone when I’m not there."

"I’m gone just for a few days and the pack is already in shambles?" Loren said dryly.

"Don’t worry." Nanny Nia winked. "I don’t think you are that important."

Loren laughed dryly.

They started to head back towards the pack doors when they heard a shrill scream.

Nanny Nia became alert instantly.

"Jasmine!" She cried out.

And when she turned to see where the scream was coming from, sure enough, it was Jasmine.

And Jasmine had been thrown off a horse right before her eyes.

Nanny Nia gathered her skirts and raced to where Jasmine was.

"Jasmine! Jasmine!"
