Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

CHAPTER 61. -Aiden's POV-

Gabby and Thomas were at the infirmary with Cassidy. She was finally beginning to heal and seeing the joy on Gabby made me beyond grateful for werewolves' healing ability. She wouldn't have been able to handle losing another person, especially not Cassy. And Cassy herself had been through enough pain, this all had to come to an end.

"What's the plan?" Edmund asked when we played a round of pool.

"The plan is that my brother comes for the title and then I kill him I said honestly.

"And if you can't?" I glared at Edmund. That lit

little prick

ick didn't know what to

hat to keep to himself..

"I will."

I just n

mean that a guy

like that who has been planning his revenge for years surely has backup plans that reach at least a mile. What if he has somehow found a way to make it harder for you to kill him?" "He's got a point," Noah said.

"He's a werewolf, like us, any and all magic he might have will be stripped when steps onto the pack. Our witch has made sure of that. And yes, he does have a backup plan, that's what the recruiting has been about. I'm sure that he has informed them to start a war if he can't kill me. One way or another, my brother plans on killing me and taking over the pack."

The

e guys stared at me, all of them knew this already but hearing it aloud made it more real. We were up against a type of pack we had never faced before. These people had nothing to lose and everything to gain which meant they'd do anything to win. I had to make sure that Gabby and Cassy were safely tucked away before anything went down..

"I just want to make sure we're on the same page here," I said and placed the pool cue down on the table. Edmund looked up at me as he was taking a shot, he held the cue at his side and rested his hand on the table.

"-Gabby will not, under any circumstances take part in this fight. Whether as a warrior or an observer. I will make sure she is safely inside the house when it all begins. I do realize that that might have to be by force and if any of you try to step in between, I will take you down too." They looked at me, knowing full well that I meant business.

Wouldn't have it any other way." Nick said and bowed his head.

"Great, now let's play, the sooner I win the sooner I can play against a real opponent." I said and smirked. Edmund growled and his brothers laughed. This kid was a sore loser if I'd ever seen one. I won the g

game and punched my hands in the air. Just as Edmund tossed the cue down on the table in anger, the windows slammed shut around us. The drapes drew shut and the air grew heavy.

We walked out into the hallway and saw the w

witch standing there. The doors were closed behind her and she was keeping her head

May I help

p you?" I asked and walked up

to her.

"Alpha, how keen are you on keeping her safe?"

"Who? Gabby?"

"Yes," 1/3

CHAPTER 61.

"I'll do anything to keep her safe." I said and questioned her reason for coming but I knew I couldn't ask. She'd say everything she had to say in her own time. Rushing her only meant she would draw everything out and make it take a longer time.

"Then I suggest you lock her away." She said and removed her hood.

"The fight has begun and she will be playing before anyone else." She continued.

"What do you mean?" I said and clenched my jaw.

"As you will do anything to save her life, so will she to save all of yours. Given the choice of war or peace, which do you believe she

will choose?"

"She wouldn't..."

"Alpha, I am not here to tell you what will happen in the future, I am here to tell you what has already begun."

The doors made a creaking noise and we all looked at the person entering. Gabby walked in with her phone in her hand and a concerned look on her face.

"Gabby, "What is going on?" Nick asked. The witch didn't turn around, her eyes were locked on mine.

"Oh, uhm, nothing," she lied.

"Gabriela, look at me." He said and stopped closer to her.

"Who were you on the phone

with?" S

She glanced down at the phone and then up at him in shock but she noticed the witch.

"Oh come on," she said and glared at her.

She rolled her eyes and licked her lips.

"It wasn't anything, it was nothing, let it go. Cassy's doing much better," she said, trying to deflect the conversation.

I nodded my head and placed my hands in my pockets.

"That's good to hear. Why don't you go get cleaned up and get some rest," she hadn't showered for days and she looked sleepy so a nap would do her some good. She nodded her head and smiled as she walked away. Gabby cast a wary look on her brothers but they didn't stop her. Instead, after she had gone upstairs and we heard the door close, they turned their glares on me,

"Dude, what the f*ck?" Edmund asked.

I averted my gaze and looked at the witch.

"What can you do to keep her in the house?" I asked. Her lips pulled up in a half smile and she bowed her head.

The next morning it seemed like things were getting back to their normal state, at least a little bit. Slowly but surely people were waking up, the breakfast was cooking, and everyone got dressed and went downstairs. We walked into the main dining room for the first time in a long time and sat with the other pack members. They all had different reactions to seeing us walk in but nobody spoke about it. My old Triends were sitting at a table, they looked up and watched as we continued to our table. Their eyes fell and they turned their heads but I noticed Sam wasn't with them.

I knew she couldn't be trusted and I had this gut feeling that she was planning something. I was just praying to the goddess that the witch wouldn't help her again.

We sat down in eery silence. Everyone was on edge and felt the stares of our pack members. My parents weren't here so it was r Gabby, and her brothers. I didn't know whether or not Cole would be joining

us.

CHAPTER 61.

Gabby looked at me, a small smile lifted on her lips and her brown eyes were gazing with a warmth I hadn't seen in them in what felt like forever. Maybe I had never seen it before, I never really looked. But here she was, right by my side, marked and all mine.

And I couldn't ever lose her again.

I turned my head and locked eyes with Nick, he lowered his head and I nodded mine. We both knew what was happening and soon, Gabby would find out too.

"How's Cassy?" I asked her. Gabby smiled and drank her coffee.

"She's doing better. Her dad texted me and said that she was healing well and should be out soon," the joy in Gabby's eyes was unfathomable. The deeper 1 looked and our eyes held contact, the more wanted to take her back her room and rip her clothes off.

I slid my hand down her thigh and saw as she drew a double breath. Her lips parted and her eyes flickered down to my mouth.

F*ck, this girl was addictive.

I dug my fingers into her thigh and she closed her eyes and drew her tongue over that bottom lip.

Someone cleared his throat and I looked at Edmund who continued coughing until Gabby tu

turned around as well.

"Oh I'm sorry, did I interrupt your foreplay?" He asked.

"No, stop, shh," Gabby's cheeks flamed up with embarrassment. She glared at her brother and he laughed.

"What's the plan today?" Noah asked and stuffed his face with bacon.

"Go after that s*n of a b*tch and kick his *ss, and by kicking his a*s I mean rip his heart out, break his neck, and c*ack his bones. And yes, all of those at the same time." Edmund said and nodded his head. Chapter Comments
