Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 68

CHAPTER 68 There was no difference between the girls Gabby had encountered in her life who all went above and beyond to abuse her generosity, take advantage of her family’s dysfunctional relationship and then toss her aside when she no longer served them. The only difference I could possibly see in me and them was that was the one person on this planet meant to not hurt her. It was (supposed to be me who protected her and showed her that there was such a thing as genuine love but I hadn’t and that hurt. If anybody had proven to Gabby how she deserves to be treated, besides her brothers, it was Casandra. “I don’t any longer though.” I looked at Nick. Noah and Edmund were sitting quietly watching between us. Any moment that those two were silent for even a second was a clear that things were serious, They knew when to back down and it was usually when Nick talked “You’ve proven yourself the last couple of months. It shows that you care about Gabby and that you are trying to make things right. And she obviously cares about you.”⠀ There was a woven web of uncertainty clustered around all of us. The more it tightened the more suffocating it was and looking past the easygoing talk, everyone was on the verge of choking. I heard footsteps entering the room and looked over Cassy’s guilt-ridden face. “What’s wrong! “This just came but you’re not gonna like it.” She handed over an envelope. “Did a messenger come with it?” She shook her head and took a seat on the couch next to the guys. Her pink cardigan hung from her shoulder and she pulled it up. “No it was mailed to my parent’s house,” Cassy had already ripped open the seal and I pulled out the little letter, unfolding it and reading it out loud.

“There are new rules to the bet. You will have one week to gather your warriors and teach them what they need to know, I will do the same. I already have the girl- thanks for that by the way- and after the one week mark, I will come for my title. Whoever decides to fight with you will do so but after I am done and the pack is mine, those who oppose me will be ended. I graciously give this warning so that your people can choose for themselves what is more important. Their loyalty or their lives. It was nice to meet you, Cassandra, we had fun. Please pass this along to my brother after you have read it. Until we meet again.” “The f*cker lied,” Noah growled. “Are you surprised? He wants what I have. He wants my life because he thinks it is his and that I wrongly took it from him. Asher wants my mate and he wants my title and I welcome him to try and get it,” Edmund leaned back and furrowed his brows. “So he’s coming?” “No. We’re gonna go to him.” “What do you mean?”Cassy asked me and cupped her hands. “He thinks that because he has Gabby we will go along with anything he says. Asher will believe that he has the upper hand now and that I will gather my warriors, prepare them and then sit and wait for him to attack. He thinks we’re sitting ducks waiting to be 1/3 CHAPTER 68 slaughtered. That was his gameplay with Gabby, he wanted leverage,” “And he has it. Asher has her so why not just do what he says so she doesn’t get hurt?” Cassy asked and I could hear the frustration in her voice. “Because we can go in with a surprise attack. He won’t see it coming, he’ll be caught off guard and our chances will be even better. I’m guaranteeing us a win.” “And if he comes? We’re not gonna win then?” She asked and frowned. “We would win that too but a lot more people would die for it.” Cassy nodded her head slowly and her eyes fell. This was it, it would all end. I would kill my brother,

and get my girl back and everything would fall as it was meant. “I’m gonna go for a walk,” Cassy said and got up. Not long after, Noah got up as well and Nick headed away to talk to the warriors that his parents had brought with them. “Do you have an actual plan or is this more of a charge and hope for the best type of thing?” | around here because apparently, my headache wasn’t bad enough alreally. “I have a plan.” I said and glowered at him. “Which is?” A smugness rose in me. “I’m not gonna tell you yet.” “Why the hell not?” “Because you’re sleeping with t Edmund asked me. He of course stuck the enemy, how do I know you won’t accidentally spill your guts to her while she’s sucking your di*k.” “You’re the one who told me to f*ck her!” He screamed and rose to his feet. I laughed and stood. “I know and I do thank you for your service but that doesn’t mean that you’re not in between the enemy and us. I’m sorry but you’ll know about the plan when I know for sure that you can’t f*ck it up.” I shid. “You suck.” “I know.” I said and patted his shoulder. Edmund slapped it away and growled. -Samantha’s POV- I ran down to the school to see the witch. She had to be there, there was no other chance than this one. The doors burst open and I stomped into her creepy little den. The witch wasn’t sitting by her desk as usual. I looked around and saw her shadow in the corner of the room lighting some candles. “Yes?” She asked but didn’t bother turning around. “I need you to put a hex on someone.” I said and raised my

chin. She turned around and slowly walked up to me. Her lip was up in agrin and her tongue stuck out. 2/3 10:41 Wed, May 22 CHAPTER 68 you,” “I will do no more business with you. You may leave.” My eyes widened and I dropped my arms to my sides. 4 “Why the hell not? I’ll pay, you know I’m good for it!” “Don’t you see child? You have nothing left to give. You have sold your soul, your firstborn child and there is no more I want from “I’ll pay anything, just name it.” “I already have and you have given it to me. Now leave.” She snarled and her eyes darkened as the winds blew in through the open doors. “No,” 1 breathed and shook my head but the witch wasn’t giving in growled and walked out of the house, the doors slammed shut behind me and the crows started fluttering their wings. There had to be another way, I knew there was. Gabby was gone, now I just I just had to get rid of her f*cking brothers and then Aiden wouldn’t be distracted. He’d be mine. “Why are you calling me?” He growled into the phone when he picked up. I won’t lie, I winced from the anger in his voice. “Do you know a witch?” “Why? “Because I need one.” “I thought you had a witch? I groaned and walked around the confer of the playground where

nobody was “I did but she’s done. I need one that will help me “Sorry, I don’t do favors.” “Oh yes you do. The deal was that I give you Gabby and I get Aiden You haven’t held up your end of the deal.” Thi 1 could practically feel him fuming through the phone. “You better lower your voice, little girl.” I didn’t speak, “I do know witch, she lives on the outskirts of Crosstown, in the woods. You can’t miss it cause it’s the only property around but beware, she’s a bi*ch. So you’ll probably get along well. and I took a deep breath. I looked up Crosstown on the maps on my phone and saw that the drive was only forty minutes. If I left now nobody would notice I was gone.
