Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 65

CHAPTER 65. The wich’s lip turned down in a snarl but there was humor in her eyes. She was pleased with her business agreement. “She paid with her life to ensure the Lana’s departure.” “So she’s dying? But you said that if she dies then Gabby will die?” took a quick step forward and was on the verge of shifting. “Yes, see, the girl is not dumb. No, in fact, her intelligence, when her life is concerned, is quite high. For as long as the Luna stays away from the pack, Samantha’s lifeline will continue, However, should the Luna come back, Samtha’s days will begin to be counted and it will go quickly for her soul to leave her body.” So I can’t kill her because then Gabby will die, I can’t harm her because Gabby will be harmed and she just gets to walk about as though nothing has happened. How the f*ck does that *itch get to win in all of this? {“She won’t, mate will come back and then she will get hers” “Why did you agree to this?” I asked the witch. Her eyes dropped for the first time ever and she sat down on a chair. H Because, Alpha, I did not think she would leave. It could’ve g gone two ways. One of the paths led to her staying, fighting for her pack against your brother, and rising to her position as Luna. The other path to be walked would lead her back to Asher King and the fall of her pack…Aiden-” she gazed into my eyes. -she chose the path she would walk but it was not the one that was meant for her. I am sorry,” I walked over to the table and leaned my hands down. I raised my hand and slammed it down, the table broke in two but this time, just like last, I didn’t recover as quickly as I should have. It shouldn’t even take a second, it shouldn’t be felt but it did. “Aiden, honey,” my mother s “What?” 1 spat. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

softly whispered and I turned around and looked at her worried face. “You mated, you are both marked, and you completed the bond.” Everyone looked around with knowing gazes. “So “Your mate has left, you know what that does to the bond,” Except I had ad forgotten about it until just just now. -Gabby’s POV- I stepped into the pack and was immediately met by a herd of wolves. They started sniffing and growling at me, baring their teeth and lowering their heads. Another one stepped in between his pack members and the others stepped aside. They were still growling as they created a path for me and followed me all the way up to the house. I was expecting a rundown, halfway house but that was not where I ended up. There was talk of a castle in these parts, a smaller one once owned by a royal couple who would vacation there every summer. With one big tower on the west wing and a grand entrance with statues of creatures said to have been protectors of the estate. And that castle was standing right in front of me. The doors were wide open and out came the last man I ever wanted to see but the one I willingly just handed myself over to. 1/4 CHAPTER 65. “Gilad to see you made it. He mused as he stepped down the big stone stairs. I drew in a breath so deep that it felt like my lungs would explode. “I’m here.” I said in the exhale, He took slow steps, enjoying everything he had done as he stared me down from top to bottom. Only when he stood an inch away from me did he speak again. “Welcome home, love,” he cupped the side of my face and stepped closer. His body pressed

against mine and Asher pressed his lips against my forehead, His hands slid down my arm and he grabbed my hand. Without a word, he turned around and walked back up to the house with me tugging behind him. The inside of the castle was stone walls with weapons displayed around every corner. Big statues stood placed neatly and in-between were knight armors holding swords. There were torches on the walls and spotlights that had been put in. On the left wall was a spiral staircase leading up to the second floor and we walked up them. Asher stopped outside a door and leaned over me as he opened it. “This is where you’ll stay for the time being.” He said and stepped inside. I took in the room. It wasn’t the shoebox I had imagined. There was an actual queen-sized bed with a tapestry hanging over it. A big Persian carpet covered the center of the big room. Two torches, were lit in each corner on the far side of the room. A big makeup table with three built-in mirrors that looked old but perfectly preserved. I inhaled a shaky breath when I felt Asher’s fingers moving my hair to my back. He was standing behind me, so close that whenever he breathed he pressed up against me. His face leaned down and his breath fanned my neck. “Unless you’d rather stay with me of course,” he said and chuckled. I was holding my breath and I didn’t release it until I heard the door close and he was gone. “I’ll be back for you soon.” He groaned. I choked down the tears and walked over to the bed. I lay on the covers and took three deep breaths. What had I done? Lela? Lela, are you there? My head sunk into the pillows. Where was my wolf? Lela, are you seriously not talking to me?

What the hell am I gonna do? I was stuck in the pack of the man who had abused me with the men who wanted the same. I was here and there was no getting out. Not without endangering the lives of everyone I loved. 2/4 10:40 Wed, May CHAPTER 65. I dragged my finger r over Alden’s mark on my neck. Maybe…? “Aiden, are you there? Can you hear me?“ I had heard that you could mind link your mate regardless of where you were as long as there was no external factor prohibiting the connection. The silence was deafening and the first tear fell. “Gabby?” I sat up quickly and jumped back. It was him, he was there. Aiden…thank god “Why the hell did you leave?” You were all so eager to save my life, you can’t blame me for wanting to save yours Aiden went quiet and it was terrifying. I was afraid that if he stopped talking, I might never hear his voice again. “Has he done anything?” He said in a harsh tone. “No, he showed me to my room and then he left” “We’re going to bring you back” I sighed and shook my head even though I knew he couldn’t see me. ‘No, Aiden, you’re not. The deal I made with Asher, to keep you all safe, entailed I was to be here

and he would leave the pack alone. As long as I stay, you won’t be harmed” “I just lost my mate, nothing else will ever hurt me more’ His voice was so sad and it broke my heart. The door opened up and I inhaled a sharp breath. I’ll talk to you la “You have your wolf, if need be, wring his neck like a twig and then kill your way out of there’ “Are you hungry?” Asher walked me to a grand dining hall. You could tell that it had once been frequented by royalties. “Sit.” He said and pointed to a chair. The other men piled in and took their seats. Me and Asher were sitting at the head of the table the others took their seats around the big marble table. 3/4 CHAPTER 65. They eyed me like I was fresh meat. “It’s good to see you again,” his eyes brought back memories that had surpassed. Those eyes are a big part of my nightmares. He was there that night, on the couch in the red room. Everyone had eaten but I had barely touched my food. My stomach was turning and I was stiff like a tree. My guards were up and I couldn’t bring myself to relax for a single second. With each passing moment, I was beginning to regret my decision to leave the pack. that showed half their a*scheeks and some The doors opened up and a line of girls stepped inside. They had high heels, short skirts th had bras on but not everyone. They strutted over and were pulled down onto the laps of the men. These weren’t all of Asher’s pack members. I did wonder where the others were. The more information I had the more I could give to Alden. One of the girls yelped when her bra was ripped off. I looked to my side and saw Aser leaning back in his chair and looking with amusement at the girls. A brunette came walking up to him. Her hair was tied in a long bride at the top of her head.

He pulled his chair out and she straddled him. nts and his underwear and slid down on Asher ripped her skirt off and slammed his hand down on her a*s. The girl pulled down his pants his d*ck. “You can take her place if you want.” He said and dragged his tongue over his lips. I looked away. She bounced on top of him and Asher grabbed her hips and pounced her harder down on h on his len length. When I slid my chair out I yelped as dug his claws into my leg. “Sit down. You’re not going anywhere.” He growled. One of the girls Is was bent over the table. Another was down on her knees sucking off the man on the chair and the others were doing whatever the men pleased. I was sinking back into my chair hoping to draw as little attention to myself as possible. Chapter Comments 1 POST NOW 4/4
