Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 26

CHAPTER 26 Nick’s hand was reached out in front of Aiden and the tension rose around us. It thickened for each sedond that Aiden didn’t grab i Aidens eyes were narrowed but he looked relaxed. His chest was puffed out, his shoulders rolled back and he looked down at Nick’s hand, seemingly analyzing the situation and the words Nick had just said. “We are.” He said and shook his hand. I released a visible breath and y shoulders sunk. My brothers grinned and Edmund started jumping around. He grabbed my shoulders and guided me away. “Tell us everything, how’s it been?” Edmund asked and brought me over to a stub where we sat down and talked. Nick patted Aiden’s shoulder and the two walked off, I had no idea where to but I’m guessing to talk about something that the rest of us weren’t allowed to hear. Obviously. I told them about how it had been living here, obviously leaving out all of the bad parts, so it wasn’t a long story. I didn’t want to tell them about Sam and Cole or the girls that made me pay for their stuff but I did tell them about Cassy and Marie. They told me about the pack and how Becca was at our house constantly trying to hook up with Noah and sneak into the Alpha family line. She was, luckily, failing missarebly. “You better not date her!” I said and pointed my finger in his face. “Are you kidding me, half the pack has been in her pants, I’m not putting a ring on that finger,” “No, you’re just putting your *ick were half the pack’s already put in Edmund said and chugged down some water. “What?!” I squealed. “You slept with her? You knew what she did to me and you slept with her?” I asked and stood up, looking disgustingly at my brother. “Sis, I’m sorry but come on, she’s hot and has like the biggest tits Ive ever seen,” 1 gaged and was about to throw up. “You need to stop talking.” I said and covered my mouth with my hand. They guys laughed and

Noah winked at me while tossing a peanut into his mouth. The boys had never had a problem getting the girls, for one: They were ranked members and every girl wanted to be married up. And also, they all worked out everyday, were super picky with their hair and clothes and overall looked good. Edmund had a boyish appearence to him with a more rounded face, thick brows, dark-blonde hair t tht was always shaved down to the shortest lenght. He had thin lips and a slimmer body but he was still stronger than all of the warriors. It was always fun to see someone new provocing him, thinking they’d get upper hand becuase of his slimmer figure but the only two people stronger then Edmund were our other brothers. Noah was broad, muscular like most others and a thick head of hair. Nick was the tallest, he was jut as broad as Noah but with a few inches over his head. Dark hair, hazel eyes and a blonde-red hair color that I had always been jelous of Aiden and Nick came back from their walk. Aiden’s eyes locked with mine imideitly and it felt like he was looking at a stranger. I could’ve sworn I also saw some pity or sadness in them. Whatever emoiton it was, I hadn’t seen it in his eyes before. “We gotta head out. Mom and dad think that we just headed into town to party,” Nick said. * wish you could stay longer,” i said against his shirt as we hugged “Me too, but we’ll see each other again soon. Promise,” He said. Me and Aiden walked back to the house in silence. Neither one said a word and I was grateful for that. I wanted this time with my brothers to have lasted forever but at least I had the memory of it and didn’t want it tainted. I wanted to live in that memory for as long sa I could. As we entered the house, a loud annoying voice rose to its highest pitch. 1/4 CHAPTER 26 “Aiden, we’re heading out!*S Sam said and came running toward him. She circled her arm in his and pushed her breast up against his arm. Her skirt seemed to have gotten shorter since I saw her earlier and I was pretty sure she had taken her bra of Afden looked at me and I rolled my eyes and continued walking.

h, you smell like that whore,” I heard her say but didn’t pay her any attention. “Ugh, “Aiden, what are you” I felt a hand on the small of my back and turned my head. Aiden was looking straight ahead as we walked up the stairs. I looked over my shoulder and saw Sam stating daggers at me. Her face was beet red and was fuming from where she stood. She was pissed and I was confused. We went into the room and he removed his jacket. “I’m tired so I’m just gonna head to sleep. You know you dont have to be here, my brothers left, you don’t have to pretend anymore,” I said and put my hair up in a ponytail. He unbuttoned his shirt one by one. His brows were furrowed and really pressed together. A vein in his forehead bulged out and with his head turned away, I looked down his arm and his chest. He unbottened his pants and I looked away. “He told me something, your brother,” I froze, a chill went down my spine and I stood still in “That you haven’t had in my spot. had it easy. Nothing of what people know about you. is true, is it?” He asked. “People don’t know anything, they hear and then they assume, knowing implies asking.” I said without meeting his gaze. What did he tell you exactly?” “What were monsters. To you especially,” d*mnit, Nick “That your parents were “Don’t worry a about it,” I said and smiled. “Gabby-” “You met them, if that first interaction didn’t clue you in on their mental instability then I’m not sure that anything ever will. It’s fine, I’m here and they’re there.” I didn’t want to get into this with him, I still didn’t trust him. One talk with my brother and one good deed wouldn’t take away everythingNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

else he had done to I went into the bathroom and changed my clothes, when I came out again Aiden was laying in bed. “You don’t have to stay,” I said. “I know, I want to. I’m exhausted,” he said and turned of the lamp. “Goodnight,” I said. red into my eyes. “Goodnight and Gabby-” he turned his head and gazed I really am sorry,” “And I’m a spolied bitch, those are just words, Aiden. Time will tell if you really mean them,” I said and turned of my bedside lamp. When m morning came I smelt newly brewed coffee and something sweet. I rubbed my eyes and saw a tray of food standing on the bed. 2/4 CHAPTER 26 “Eat up, we’re going out,” he said as he stood there, fully dressed. “Where?” “It’s a surprise,” “I don’t like surprises,” I said. “You’ll like this one,” L-eyed him cautiously but decided to just go with it. I ate the food and drank the coffee before getting dressed. “Where are we going?” I asked after we had been driving for th thirty minutes. I had a pit in my stomach that grew for each minute that we drove I wanted to know where we were going so that I could prepare myself. “You’ll see soon,” We drove for another thirty minutes before he went of on a smaller road and up a long hill. When he stopped car I was eery to get out but Aiden left and opened the trunk.

“Come on,” he said and opened my door for r me. I stepped outside and looked around. A loud gasp sounded as I saw where we were. We went over to the cliff where there was a bench, and the view, we were looking over in the far end. r the entire town and could almost see the pack “What do you think?” He asked and put a basket down on the bench. “It’s breathtaking.” I said in awe and walked closer to the edge. I stepped so close that my toes were of the edge of the cliff and I closed my eyes, reached out my arms and just breathed. It felt so freeing, knowing the town was beneath us, nobody could touch me here, I felt the freedom I had always dreamed of. My breath got stuck in my throat and i gasped as I was pulled back from the edge. “Please don’t do that, it makes me nervous,” Aiden said and g I and gently removed his hand fr from my stomach. We walked over and sat down on the bench. “How did you find this place?” I asked him. Aiden opened the basket and pulled out a bottle of wine. “I was an angry kid, always getting into fights and rebelling against my destiny to take over the pack. I didn’t want the responsibility when I was that young but it was instilled in me that one day I would be taking over and there were certain things I had to do in order to earn it. When I grew older, in my teens, I began to want the title but I did nothing to change my behaviors. My father brought me up here, we sat down on this bench and he told me that the title wasn’t oved to someone. It had to be deserved. He said that if I ever wanted to become Alpha and take over the pack when he stepped down, I had to change how I acted and too start behaving like a leader, if not, he had no obligation to hand over the title to me.” I thought it was automatically handed down to the oldest son of the Alpha?”

“It is, but I’m not the Alpha’s oldest son,” My eyes widened. 3/4
