The Alpha's Unwanted Bride-Chapter 400: THE MAGE LAW

"Woild you at least tell me where you’re going to?" Roland asked.

She finished wearing her earrings and looked at herself in the mirror.

She sighed heavily and turned back to her husband.

"No." She said. "Just know that I’m fine and safe."

Roland was her husband yes, but she wanted to limit him from knowing about the things she had recently discovered.

She didn’t want him to jeopardize it the same way Cherry had jeopardized her knowing who had sent Bernice to poison her.

Cherry had said she had done it for her own good, but killing Bernice had closed an easy door for her.

Now she wanted to visit Bernice’s family.

Hopefully she would get some clarity from it.

She remembered what Bernice had told her had led her to being blackmailed in the first place.

She turned to her husband.

"The rule that was made preventing members of our pack and allies from using mage magic who made them?" She asked him.

"Using mage magic? What?" Roland asked completely confused and taken aback.

"A law was enacted after I lost we lost Scarlett. It prevented all packs under our claim from using mage magic."

"Yeah I can remember that." Roland mumbled to himself.

"Good." Rose nodded to him. "Who enforced the law?"

Roland shrugged his shoulders. "Members of the wolf council? It was to be protections against the mages."

"And it’s still in law ever since?" She pressed on further." freēwēbnovel.com

"Yes I think so. That’s the most random question you’ve ever asked me." Roland said. "Why are you asking me this questions out of the blue."

"I just wanted to know." Rose said and then she put on the hood of her beautiful coat and said to her husband as she left the bedroom.

"I’ll be back."

And despite his arguments and disagreements of her choice of actions, she was out of the door.

She turned to find Hildegard already waiting for her outside.

"You found it?" Rose asked her discreetly once they were away from the guards.

"Yes." Hildegard handed her a neat and small paper.

Rose opened the paper and read through its contents.

"That’s the little I could find out about Bernice and her family." Hildegard said. "The other staff in the pack have good things to say. Her behavior was out of character. Everyone is still shocked that she could try to harm you."

Hildegard was the only person she could trust.

Not even her sister.

Especially after what happened the previous.

Not her husband too because he had the habit of criticizing lately.

Plus if he knew that she now believed that Scarlett was alive and she had resumed searching for her, then he would be furious.

So she had to keep all her findings to herself and Hildegard.

Together both women followed the back doors of the castle and three horses were waiting for them.

On one of them was Omega Logan.

He was still the lowest rank of wolves, but he was the skilled man Rose had ever seen.

He was able bodied and she had never seen anyone fight like him.

Despite his expertise, he had declined to rise among ranks remaining at the lowest ranks in the wolf hierarchy.

He was a bald man about six foot five in height.

He had an ugly scar across him eyes, and he looked terrifying and intimidating.

He was her personal bodyguard.

She didn’t need to tell him what she was doing.

He always followed and kept her safe.

She also knew that he would never say a word of anything that he followed her on.

He rarely ever said a word moreover.

He was loyal to her because she had found him when going to war with one of the packs and she had offered him revenge against his own enemies who happened to be hers.

After helping her finish the pack and take over, she gave him the Alpha alive and the liberty to kill him himself.

Since that day Logan had never left her side.

Due to her declining health and insistent search to look for her daughter she had distanced herself away from him and everything else she did.

This was the first time she had seen him in a long time.

"Your majesty." He said in his deep gruff voice. And then he bowed down to her. "It’s good to be of service to you again.

She held his arms and looked up at him, a smile on her face.

Then she surprised him by hugging him.

She finally let go and looked up at him.

"It’s very good to see you." She said.

He nodded.

She knew he was pleased but he was the best person to hide his facial expression.

She turned to Hildegard. "You should go."

"I brought three horses." Hildegard said. "I will be following you."

"I don’t want anything going wrong." Rose said.

"You told me this was not a dangerous trip." Hildegard said. "That’s why I agreed to let you go in the first place."

"It isn’t." Rose said. "I just don’t want to risk anything going wrong. Moreover who would stay and cover for me if I come late and husband gets too nosey and curious. I have Logan here to take care of me."

"If it isn’t going to be dangerous. Then there is no reason why I shouldn’t follow you." Hildegard pointed out. "And if you are worried about your husband being overly curious, then just know that I have it covered."

Rose sighed heavily. "You aren’t going to give up are you?"

Hildegard shook her head. "No."

"Alright. Get on the horse before you make us get late." Rose said finally giving in.

Logan tried to help Rose get on the horse but she claimed easily in a split second.

"I’m not the one you should be bothered about." She said and pointed at Hildegard who was still struggling to climb hers.

Logan went over to her and assisted her up on the horse.

Soon they were all now riding off into the forest.

A few hours into the morning, Roland was having his breakfast in the dinner room when Cherry came in.

He grimaced.

She walked to his side of the table.

"Hello brother in law." She said.

He ignored her and continued eating his food.

"I actually didn’t come to find you." She said. "I’ve been looking for my sister and I hoped she would be here."

He ignored her once again.

She looked around the room. "But I can’t seem to find her here so are you going to tell me where she is or not?"

Roland drank his wine and put some bread in his mouth.

"Ignoring me isn’t such a good thing to do Roland. Especially to me." Cherry said as she leaned on her arm.

She picked up his goblet from his hands and put it to her lips.

She drunk it down.

"Satisfying." She said and then she place sit back beside him .

By now Roland had stopped eating.

He was disgusted with her presence and he pushed back his chair and started to get up.

She placed her hand on his chest and forced him down to sit.

"You’re not going anywhere." She said. "You don’t want to cross me Roland not with what little secret we have."

He panicked and looked at the guards hoping they had not overhead to hat she had just said.

"What the hell are you doing?" He whispered harshly.

She smiled. "Now see? I have your attention. Why do you always make me do things like this?"

Roland was angry.

He breathed so heavily he tried to calm himself down.

"What do you want?" He asked her through gritted teeth.

"I told you already." She said. "I want to see my sister."

"She isn’t here." He said angry that he had to even speak to her.

"Well I can see that Roland." She said. "That’s why I am asking you. So where is my sister."

Roland leaned back in his seat and sighed in frustration.

"She stepped out this morning said she needed to search for some findings." He finally gave in.

"Findings?" Chery asked alarmed. "What sort of findings. What does she meaning findings?"

Roland shrugged. "I don’t know."

"You don’t know?" Cherry asked shocked. "What do you mean you don’t know."

"It means I don’t know. What’s so hard for you understand from there?" Roland asked annoyed

Cherry fumed. "My sister who recently survived an attack on her life went off to deal with some findings on her own and you chose to let her go just like that?"

"." Roland laughed. "Talking as if you actually care about your sister. You’re such a good liar. Well not to me."

Cherry flared her nostrils. "Did she say anything else? Can you be more useful?"

Roland wanted her off his back and he knew she would come around.

"Nothing. Just asking about the laws we set against the mages and sirens." He said.

Cherry went quiet.

"Thank you for nothing."

And with that she stormed out of the room.
