Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 79

Alpha’s Betted Bride CHAPTER 79 We were closing in on Asher’s pack. A few of our warriors were skilled archers and lit the tip of their arrows on fire. On my go, they shot and set fire to the forest surrounding the park. We watched as the flames grew higher and engulfed the trees and the by one the windows in the house lit up as well as the houses on the grounds. The men stepped out and looked around. I listened in and heard how they would all gather at the house and prepare to attack and so we moved in. My warriors were stretched out across the territory to make sure that nobody surprise us and we would meet back in front of Asher’s house. A few of them would stay hidden for latel and the archers would keep their distance for the entire fight and only jump in if they absolutely needed to. The door to the house was opened and walked straight up p into the yard. “Brother.” They came out and gathered outside, keeping their distance at first. Asher stepped to the front and smiled. I could see in his eyes how badly and uncaringly he wanted to kill me. He would slit my throat and watch me die without feeling one ounce of remorse, “You wanted to challenge me for the title.” I said. He nodded his head and looked around. I knew he didn’t just wantne, he wanted to kill and showcase his power in front of my whole pack and his men were thirsty for blood but by speaking a challenge he couldn’t deny it. “Let’s.” He said and removed his shirt, Me and Asher circled each other. My people were staying clear of the fight but I had warned them to keep their eyes out for any little move Asher’s men might make and to jump on them before they got too close if they were to attack. These people didn’t play fair and would take any opportunity to attack. Asher made the first move, he jumped at me, extracting his claws and the fight was on.

-Gabby’s POV- I woke up in bed and fluttered my eyes open. My hand felt at the place where Asher’s fist had connected with my face and it throbbed painfully, I now understood what my wolf meant about us growing weaker. Then I remembered what happened right before I blacked out. Aiden was here with the pack. This was it but it was too soon. I walked to the door and pulled the handle but it was locked. I scoffed and shook my head. “Does he really think a locked door will keep me away from my mate?” I seethed and pressed at the handle until it came off. I slid the door open and thought I could just walk out but there in the hallway I was met with two guards. They smiled and drew to their fullest height as they came at me. 1 growled and started fighting one of them whilst I tried to keep the other at a distance. But he grabbed my throat and pulled me back… hands but his grip was just I kicked out my foot and hit the other man’s nose and he fell back after the cracking sound. I clawed at his h tightening. 1/3 CHAPTER 79 “Not today,” someone said and I heard a snap as the man behind me let go of my throat. He fell lifeless to the floor and behind him was Erin. “What do you think you’re doing?” She asked me. “I thought- how strong are you?” I asked her. The shock was eviders in my voice. “My w wolf’s dormant from the wolfsbane they force into me but I have some strength.” “Some? You just took down a full-grown-” I stopped mid-sentence when I felt the other man grab my

arm. I turned and slammed my fist against his already broken nose and he fell down. My fingers tangled in his hair and I pulled his head back and locked it in before I snapped it. If only I could have this strength and confidence when it came to Asher but then again@ight now the price was my mate and nothing would get in my way. *-you took down a full-g -grown man. How are you so strong?” I continued “I’ve always been strong but this isn’t my top strength. I don’t know where it comes from though, I used to train a lot back home so maybe that’s how,” I shook my head and grabbed her hand. “We have to get the others and hide until I can come up with a way to get you out.” “What do you mean?” “My pack is here. Aiden has come to fight his brother.” Her eyes widened and she grabbed a hold of my shoulders. “You have to leave. Turn around and go to them.” She said. I was getting supremely annoyed at her nonchalance and her refusal to accept my help. “Where are the girls?” I asked. “They have separate rooms. Down that way are two rooms just like mine and the others are in the cellar but Gabby-” “I’m going to get them. If you want to stay then fine, I don’t have time to convince you.” I said and left. I walked down the hallway and broke open the doors. The girls jumped up and I told them to come with me. We went down and grabbed the other five girls and then we all headed up to the first floor. I looked out and saw the flames that were starting to die down but then I saw him. Alden was fighting his brother and behind them were my brothers. I pressed my hands against the glass and didn’t want to turn my head. His face was focused and he was in the present as he always was when fighting. His arms reached out and his hair blew in the wind. I couldn’t take my eyes off him and my body was pulling toward him. But I wasn’t done here and it looked like he could hold his own despite the consequence that the mate bond had created

when I left. My mind wandered and I thought about the pack witch and if she had reversed the spell yet or not, I couldn’t take the girls if she hadn’t 1 kept looking outside when I felt a hand softly touch my shoulder. “I’m just looking out for you,” Erin said. “And I’m looking out for you. So how about we look out for each other and simultaneously try and figure out a way to get out of here?” She smiled and nodded her head. 2/3 CHAPTER 79 “That sounds like a plan.” We looked out together and Erin came to stand beside me. Her brows furrowed and I looked at her face. Something she saw was causing her face to twist into a grimace. “Who is he?” She asked and looked past Aiden and Asher. “Which one?”): “The man in the front. Him in the white t-shirt with the light brown hair,” I looked at where her eyes were held and saw who she meant. him. “Why do you ask?” “I don’t know, there’s something about him but I don’t…” she didn’t finish the sentence but it looked like her eyes were captivated by “That’s Nick Santos, my brother.” I said and her eyes widened just an inch. Nick turned his head away from the fight and his eyes searched around the house. They landed on the window that we were standing in and his eyes locked with Erin’s. She inhaled a shaky breath and his arms tensed at his sides. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
