Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 45

CHAPTER 45. -Gabby’s POV- “Do you feel like doing anything special today?” Cassy asked me as I walked outside the house. “I was thinking about shifting and going for a run,” Her eyes lit up and I knew she wanted to come along but I wanted to go alone. “What’s her name?” She asked me. “Whose name?” I asked her. “Your wolf, what’s her name?” That’s when I remembered that I hadn’t even asked my wolf what her name was. What is your name? ‘Lela’ “Her name Lela,” “The run, do you want to go alone?” She asked and looked a little unsure of herself. I parted my lips, about to say yes. “Bring her along” I don’t want anyone to tag along ‘It’ll be fun” For who? “Have you ever seen her wolf?” I hadn’t. I had never seen Cassy’s wolf. “Uhm, you can come,” I said and she smiled. Relief washed over her body and her shoulders relaxed. “Ready?” Cassy asked me and I nodded my head. We shifted and took off running. It had been a week since my birthday and I had been spending a lot of my time alone. A few of the days hours I was with Cassy, my brothers, and Aiden but then I stepped away. I was running behind Cassy but I had to stop. Her wolf was beautiful. Brown with three black paws

and the fourth was brown. Her fur was matt but it shone under the sun and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I started running and caught up to her. She was fast and we were facing as we ran there and jumped over everything in our way. The dirt was kicked up from the ground and suddenly Cassy was gone. I continued running and looked around when I felt someone running into my side and I was tossed to the ground. My wolf growled but playfully and got back up. She jumped at Cassy’s wolf and they started playing around. Rolling on the ground and biting each other. 1/4 CHAPTER 45. She jumped up and wagged her tail before lowering her head. Her eyes suddenly shifted and she took on a predatory stand. I looked at her and stood up, pushing my chest out and Lela started sniffing around. Something was wrong. C*ssy’s wolf tossed her head toward the pack house and we took of running back. What is happening? ‘Someone just crossed the border Who? I was starting to panic and Lela was running as fast as she could but making sure that Cassy was keeping up. We ran up to the pack house and halted to a stop. A loud howl echoed over the whole territory and a wolf came running towards us from the house. He pushed off from the ground and jumped over us, landing in front of me. He growled and watched as someone stepped out from behind the trees and over the forestline. It was a man. He was smiling as he stepped out on a limping leg. His hair tussled and his clothes were torn. He looked to have rolled around in the dirt. “He’s coming,” the man said and laughed.

“He’s on his way and he’s coming for you,” he laughed even louder. A menacing look in his eyes and his hands were shaking- He picked out a knife and the wolf in front of me stepped forth. The man raised the knife and I gasped in horror. “He’s coming, and he’s not alone,” He whispered. He slit his throat in front of everyone. Even as he fell to his knees, dying, his smile never faltered. Only when he fell limp to the ground and his heart stopped beating did everyone take their eyes off him. The wolf in front of me, Aiden’s wolf, turned around and looked behind me. Lela turned her head and my brothers were standing behind us, having heard everything. As had Marie and Aidens father. We all were in Aiden’s office looking uncomfortably at each other. Aiden came barging in and slammed the door behind him. Bob followed inside and took a stand next to Aiden behind the desk. “What is going on?” Marie asked. I saw her husband giving Aiden a knowing look. The two shared a silent message. Marie’s eyes started glowing and she narrowed them at her son. “What is going on?” She growled. Aiden ran a hand through his hair. He sighed and hung his head. His father stepped up and walked over to the desk, leaning back against it, and nodded his head to his son “So, me and dad have been looking for Asher and his men ever since Gabby came home. We found nothing and were beating our heads trying to find some sort of a trail that we could follow. And then, two days ago something came up. We had called around to different packs to see if they knew anything. One of them did. He said that a pack had formed, not too big but it was filled with the most 2/4 3:38 Wed, May CHAPTER4 dangerous ones. Those who were shunned from their packs and kicked out for various reasons. They also have a few rogues among them.”

Marie-stood to her feet and straightened her back. “Where are they?” Aiden and his dad looked at each other and Aidens father spoke. “They live a few hours away in a town they overtook. A smaller pack had lived there before them, in peace and minding their own business-” he sighed and shook his head. -Asher and his people slaughtered every last one of them and disposed of their bodies. They overtook the pack and have grown since then. Planning and plotting for the real price.” “What price?” C*ssy asked. “Overtaking Aiden and his position as Alpha of our pack. Another Alpha that lives in close proximity to their pack said he had heard more and more coming from them. They’re training and recruiting more werewolves to join them. These men are the sc*m of the earth and will do anything to get what they want. They crave power and success. They have slaughtered, overrun, tortured, and lied to get their way and all in preparation for coming here.” I gulped and fell back in the chair. “When are they arriving?” “We don’t know but the man outside, it was a message. They’re coming soon and we need to prepare.” He said in a dark and grave voice, sending shivers down my spine. Orders were shouted left and right. The warriors piled out and started training. They enhanced the border patrol guards and covered, more ground. Guards were also placed in town and everything was suddenly getting more real. I was looking around at everyone running and taking their stance. Aiden had caught everyone up on what was going on and the people had been encouraged to take precautions and at the first sign of battle, they had been told to stay inside. “How are you feeling?” He asked me as he came walking up and sat down on the stairs next to me. “Weird,” I said and nodded my head. The warriors were fighting combat, really going at it as they threw punch after punch. I was having a hard time keeping up ng up with their speed as I tried to see and learn. “I want you to stay close to me.” He said and I turned my head and looked at him. “Excuse me?” His eyes bored into mine.

“I’m not saying you have to move back into the room or that we have to hang out. As I told you before, you will do precisely what you feel like. But I don’t trust anyone else to protect you. I want you close to me until this all is over,” “And after that?” His lips parted and his eyes rounded. “After that, we’ll resume as we have.” I looked down and then out the chaos occurring. These men and women were all so fierce and yet, worried about the outcome of the pending fight. “I can’t lose e you again,” He whispered. -Unknown PQV- The sun was up and shining. The beams hit down and lit up our grounds. I saw the warriors training violently on the fields and everyone was running around preparing for the final battle against the Alphas brother. 3/4 CHAPTER 45. The first message had been sent and now it would soon be time. “Hello?” “Are you ready?” “Soon,” “What do you mean soon? What if someone finds out, I’ll be dead! “Not my problem. You chose this, remember?” “Just get on with it.” He laughed menacingly and I gritted my teeth “I don’t take orders, I give them. And you have yours.” He said and the line fell dead. I tightened my fingers around the phone. I walked closer to the window and saw Aiden and Gabby sitting on the stairs. I listened in to hear what they were saying I can’t lose you again’ Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
