Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 43



Chapter 43

CHAPTER 43. -Aiden’s POV- “That’s enough!” Everyone around me kept yelling. Three guards were holding back Nick and Noah, or at least so they thought. The guys could’ve broken free easily had they sensed a real threat. My pack members and the warriors were all trying to interfere, believing that I was actually killing Edmund which I could understand. Blood was dripping down his chest from the claw marks. A big flesh wound went from his shoulder down to his elbow and he was limping. His nos nose was facing the wrong way from being broken…two times. His eye was swollen and I wasn’t slowing down. I threw a quick glance over at Noah who had gotten too quiet for my liking. He was looking between me and Edmund with a worried frown on his face. We were all waiting for her to come to Edmund’s rescue. Cas*y had opened the window last night when Gabby was asleep. I thought she’d be here by now but I couldn’t stop. I looked back at Edmund and narrowed my eyes. Nick grew silent as well and cast me a warning gaze. “That’s enough, Aiden.” Nick said and raised his head. His eyes darted between me and his brother and I saw the worry starting to grow in them. Good. He was pulling his arms and the guards now had to start working for real. They were holding them back. We were strong, all of us and against most werewolves, we would be superior in strength. These guys, however, were Alphas, the blood that ran through their veins also enhanced their strength and agility along with everything else. I saw as my warriors struggled to hold them back and Nick’s eyes started glowing. I did wonder how it would be to fight him. I’d have! to find out someday. “ENOUGH!” He roared and everyone else stepped back. I smirked and ran towards Edmund. I jumped up, he was halfway down toward the ground and looked up as he saw my fist connecting with his face. He fell down completely.

Noah was starting to growl as well and my pack members were stepping further and further back. “Alpha, is the plan to kill Il him?” Bob asked and came up to me. He pushed at my shoulder making me step back and he positioned himself between me and Edmund. His brows furrowed and he searched my eyes. “Is this how you plan on winning her trust back? By killing her brother?” I placed my hand on his shoulder and nodded my head. T saw Edmund behind him, spitting out blood. “You’re in my way.” 1 I said and tossed him aside. My canines extended. My wolf stepped to the the front a and I ran towards him. I heard a lowl coming from behind me and everyone’s eyes were looking toward the sound. Here we go I was about to reach Edmund when she jumped in between, blocking my path. She growled and bared her teeth. She e was big and she sure as *uck was strong. I I could sense it. 1/3 CHAPTER 43. 100% She bit in the air and stepped back, closer to Edmund who was now slumped down on the ground. “Happy birthday,” I said and shifted. I knew she needed to blow off some steam and perhaps this wasn’t the best way to go about it but it was the only plan I had. Edmund was dragged away from the field and I was standing eye to eye with his sister. Her wolf was truly breathtaking. Just as beautiful as her human. Her fur was pearl white and glistened under the sun. A sun she hadn’t seen for days. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The smell of raspberries and rainwater slid up my nostrils. It filled my entire body and mind, almost like a spell. “Mate” She slowly turned her head and watched as her brother was dragged to safety. No, I couldn’t let her go back. Gabby was walking around me so I stepped to the side and blocked her. If she went back inside, she would never leave. And I’ve been so scared every day about what she might do. I had to keep her outside. She growled at me but I stepped closer. Gabby’s wolf bit in the air but I could see it in her eyes. She was acknowledging me as her mate but Gabby was fighting her on it. Understandably so. I jumped at her and nibbled on her back before backing away. She jumped around and stared at me. I could see the two fighting for control in her mind and before I knew it she took off and ran toward the woods. Jumping over the rocks and running between the trees, she looked like she was enjoying herself but I knew it was her wolf and her. Gabby just wanted to head back to the room but her wolf wanted to live. not We ran beside each other. We fought and played, allowing her wolf to be completely free in hopes that it would bring Gabby even the slightest bit of happiness. There was a big hill behind the woods and we ran there. Up the hill and tumbled around. She stopped and her eyes gazed up at the sun. Suddenly Gabby was standing there, naked at the top of the hill. She sat down and pulled her legs up to her chest, We walked around and laid down next to her, making making sure that our fur was covering ring her body and ke keeping her warm. She snuggled in and I saw past the tug of her lips because in her eyes was nothing but emptiness.

“I don’t know how to live anymore,” She whispered, looking out over the hilltop. “Not alone, that’s number one- Ca*sy came out from behind the woods and slowly strutted over to us. She wrapped a blanket that she was holding in her hands, around Gabby’s body and sat down next to her. -You’re lost and we are all here to help guide you back, however long it may take. When everything seems dark, we’ll be your light and your eyes.” She placed her hand on Gabby’s shoulder and Gabby leaned her head against it. This was a start. It was a really good start. The celebration had already started back at the pack house. We snuck Gabby up to her room so that she could get dressed. When I went up to check on her, she was sitting on the edge of her bed. 2/3 CHAPTER 43. The drapes were drawn stin and the room was dark. Gabby hadn’t turned the lights on. “It’s just easier to lie in that bed.” She said and looked back. I nodded my head and put my hands in my pockets. All of my choices and mistakes were playing in front of me when I saw her. “Yeah, but when has anything good ever been easy?” I asked her. She drew in a deep breath and stood up. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress. The memory of when she showed me her scars came back to mind and I closed my eyes. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have f*cked this up? Not just this but everything, for so long, and now I paid the consequences. She cupped her hands in her front and gazed into my eyes. “I’m not ready to forgive you, I don’t know when I will ever be or if I ever will. I’m gonna go down there and smile and talk and hug but I need you to know that I’m not happy. The feeling is lost on me.” I stepped closer

to her and made sure she was looking into my eyes “You don’t have to smile. You don’t have to speak to anyone. You don’t have to hug a single person. You will do precisely what you feel is right to do. As long as it doesn’t include staying in here. And whether or not you forgive me…” I adverted my eyes and looked down at the floor. Shame washed over me. I will spend the rest of of my life proving to you how sorry I am for what I have done. If in the end, as I take my final breath you still cannot forgive me, I will accept that. There will be no pressure, no stress and I will never ask you for anything. Having you here, knowing you are safe, is already more than I had the right to ask for,” she lifted her head. Something flashed in her eyes and was gone just as fast. This would be a process and it would take as long as needed. Because this time, I was gonna do it the right way.
