All Chapters of The Alpha’s Discarded Bride: Chapter 141 - Chapter 145

HARLANThe journey back to my pack should have felt like victory. For months, I had searched for Christine. For months, I had planned, prepared and waited.Every plan I made had only one ending which was bringing her home.I didn't expect getting her back to be this swift and easy, the location Dorian sent turned out to be real and not a trap like we suspected at first. We met just the healer and Christine who was unconscious so it was quite easy. The healer proved quite stubborn so we slayed her without a second thought. There was no other hindrance at all, going with the company of my men was actually useless. If I had gone alone, I would have been able to retrieve her easily. Now, she was finally here, lying inside the carriage behind me and still yet the victory I had imagined felt strangely quiet.The only sound was the steady movement of the horses and the occasional groan of the wooden wheels rolling over the rough road.I looked behind me again, she hadn't moved once, n

KAELThe smell of herbs and blood refused to leave the air, it clung so strongly to the old stone chamber. For a few seconds after arriving, I had been too shocked to think but now, my mind finally began working again and every answer I found only made things worse.Nathan remained on his knees beside the healer's body.His hands trembled as they hovered over the old woman's lifeless form."I’m sorry, I'm so sorry.” he whispered brokenly. His voice echoed softly around the chamber and I forced myself to look away.I had to find Christine.Ignoring the ache in my chest, I walked through every corner of the underground chamber.The white ceremonial cloth she had worn was stained with blood.I observed every other thing else that has been scattered and noticed something was missing.There were no signs of a struggle from Christine, no scratches on the walls and no trail showing she had fought anyone.That was because she couldn't, Nathan had already told me that she had been unconsciou

KAELThe forest had gone quiet, the only sound left was the wind moving through the trees and the heavy breathing of the wolves around me.Every face carried the same question—what is going to happen now?The scout's words still echoed inside my head.The tracks lead north toward Harlan's territory.Nathan was the first to move, he grabbed the same sword again. "I'm going, I just have to.” "Don't be foolish Nathan!”My voice came out sharper than I intended, Nathan turned to me, his eyes were already red."We know where she is now, we should already be moving so what are we waiting for!” I understood every bit of his anger and desperation because it was exactly how I felt.But charging into another Alpha's territory without a plan wasn't bravery, it was stupidity."If we rush in blindly," I said, forcing myself to stay calm, "we won't make it to Christine."Nathan laughed bitterly."So we just do nothing even after confirming she is at Harlan’s pack?” "No! We think and plan!”"The
