Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25. I walked over and locked the doors, making sure that nobody would be able to enter. When I went back to Cassy she had a confused look on her face and she was awkwardly turning in the chair. “When my parents realized that they hadn’t birthed the perfect daughter, they tried to create one by any means necessary,” I said and removed my cardigan.. “They wouldn’t tell me what to do and what not to do when I was a child because, well, as you saw they aren’t normal. Instead, whenever i stepped over the line or I did anything un-lady like they would try and show what happens to girls who aren’t the mold of perfection…” I removed my long sleeved shirt and placed it on top of my cardigan. my tank top ..they would try and instill in me these habits and ways of life and their way of doing that… I pulled my tossed it aside. Cassy gasped and she hadn’t even seen a fraction of my fathers art. I turned around, showing of my back for the first time in my life. top over my head and “…was beating it into me,” I heard the tremble in her gasp as she stood up. She walked over to me and stood close. “Gabby, for how long-” She was crying. “It started when I was five-” I said, cutting h her off. “-i had been playing outside with some friends while it was raining and I came home dirty with mud all over my clothes. My mom picked me up and tossed me into my room and shut the door. A minute later my father came by and softly explained how this will teach me to behave like a lady. From that day on It didn 1-stop until I was sent here,” “I-i’m…I’m so sorry,” I put my clothes back on and we sat there on the chairs, talking for a while and I explained how it was living at my old pack.

Her eyes were hooded and the tears were piling up, one by one they fell. Her lips were parted and she shook her head. “You have to leave, Gabriella,” she whispered through the tears. My phone rang and I picked it up, seeing my b brothers name light up the screen. I looked between Cassy and the phone and imidiet asnwered. “Edmund!” I squealed. “Hey, sis, listen we have a plan but it’ll take like a month. Alright, just be patient and I’ll call you when it’s time. Mom and dad are home so I can’t speak for long but we love you, Gabby, and we’re gonna get you away from everyone. And also, I have a surprise that you’ll see soon,” “I love you too,” I said and hung up. Cassy had heard and she had giant smile on her face, Seeing someone so happy for something ! was doing for myself was really refreshing. We walked back downstairs, in the back of my mind I was still trying to figure out a to succeed. plan to get rid of Cole before I left. I had a month As we reached the first floor, Cole came limping E past us, h his face was bruised and blood was still dripping from his nose. “I’m sorry,” he said and adverted his gaze. I looked back and saw Alden standing there with Sam next to him. She had a shock ridden expression and a fierce glare when she saw me staring. The others looked shocked as well as they piled out of the room. None of them 1/3 CHAPTER 25. made eye contact with us as they past us. “Care to join me for a walk?” Aiden asked and walked up to me. I didnt know how to act, this was weird, why

hy was he asking me to go on a walk? Especially with Sam standing right behind him, staring daggers at the both of us. “Uhm.” I looked back at Cassy who smiled and nodded her head. “I have a shift soon so we can meet up later,” she said and began walking away. “Sure,” I said to Aiden and pulled my shoulders up to my ears. We had walked for a long time in silence before reaching the side of town. It was a road that led down to the forest. “I’m sorry for how they treated you, you can come to me with those typoes of things you know, I’ll take care of it,” He said, breaking the silence. “I can take care of it to,” he nodded his head. “I know but you don’t have to. The world isn’t your obligation to handle, Gabby, Gabby, you can share the burden,” what the hell was happening? Why was he being nice? “You’re acting weird,” I said and side eyed him. He chckled and squinted his eyes as he looked ahead. “The way you were with those kids at the fair, and everyone for that matter, made t much based of what I’ve heard from others,” “What is it that you’ve heard?” I asked him. “That you’re a spoiled, bratty princess who gets whatever she wants,” he said honestly. “Yeah, I’ve heard that too,” I said and smiled. “But you’re not, so why is that your reputation?” think that maybe my perception of you is to “You met my parents, right? Yo You can understand what type of people I had around me and whenever I realized that someone was sticking around only for the money, I left them. They didn’t take it well and instead said that I was spoiled and a bitch and all the other colorful words in the book,” “Why didn’t you set the record straight?” I narrowed my eyes and shrugged a shoulder.

“Cause it wasn’t my responsibility to do so. If someone decided that they knew me solely based of off the gossip they heard than they had already made up their minds. Why would I waste my own energy trying to prove them wrong? I believe that the right people will find you, and Cassy found me,” he clenched his jaw and nodded his head. I gulped and removed the hair from my face. We were about to enter the woods. “I heard that you guys used to be friends,” “Yeah,” “And something happened?” 2/3 CHAPTER 25. “Do you know what happened?” He asked me. I didnt answer him, this wasn’t my from her. y thing to say if Cassy didn’t want me to. I would find a way to put Cole away and keep him aw “What’s done is done, no use in dwelling in the past,” he said. “But-” he said and we stopped. He had a deep grin on his face and rolled back his shoulders. “-i did feel the need to make it up to you, for what I did with your parents,” something felt off. “What do you mean?” Someone jumped up behind me and I screamed but as I turned around and saw Edmunds stupid smile I couldn’t help but nearly cry from joy. Nick was sitting on the hood of the car that he had driven into the woods. He jumped of with a gleaming smile and swung his arms around me. The first tear fell and I wiped it off, my smile didn’t falter for even a second. Noah stood leaning against the car and came over to hug me as well. He didn’t let go, not for a long time. “I’ve missed you much.” He said and pulled back. “I’ve missed you too,” I said Noah reached up and wiped my tears away. Their eyes went behind me and locked down on Aiden. The stepped in front of me, covering my view of him.

“How have you been treating our sister?” Nick asked and they all grew to their fullest size. I stepped around them and stood to the side. The tension was rising rapidly and I was glad that Edmund and Noah weren’t here alone or the fighting would’ve already begun. Nick was the oldest, he was the one with a leveled head and he usually did the talking and kept the other two in check. Noah was a joyful mix. of the two but him and Edmund would spurr each other on and it usually ended with Nick having to drag them away. Aiden looked down at the ground, his brows furrowed together and he was in deep thought before lifting his head and looking up at them. “Not at all as well as I should have. Not well at all, in fact. But, I do hope to make it up to her,” he said and looked at me. He seeme so genuine and this meeting with my brothers sure bumped him up on the nice list but he sill had a lot to prove. I was however shocked that he told them the truth, I was prepared for a lie. with our parents when “I really hope you do. We didn’t get a chance to talk much at the wedding and we were banned from coming they came to visit, a very eventful meeting I heard. Our sister is our everything, she’s been trough more than you know and there is nothing we won’t do to ensure her safety. If we find out that you aren’t treating her well, or that any harm comes to her as she lives here, by your hands or anyobody elses, we will come and we will take her away. Regardless of the war between our packs that it might result in. Are we clear?” Aiden lifted his head and glared into my brothers eyes. A darkness swirled within them but Nick never cowered away from the truth and for the first time, it worried me. O Chapter Comments Stephanie Of is pronounced as uhv or ov. Off is pronounced as awf.
