Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)
Chapter 40

CHAPTER 40. 100%

The paws hit against the ground and dirt scattered all around. Edmund's wolf ran up on my side and Nick and Noah were on our tale. Everyone was pushing off the ground as f*cking fast as they could and was already imagining the taste of his blood whenever we caught the f*cker that left that message. with Nick and

We ran down to the border and past it, out into the woods and then halted to a stop. We sniffed around, I locked eyes he growled. Shit, it was building within n me, all the hate and the anger. We leaned our heads back and howled up at the sky, leaving a message for whoever had been here.

How could our warriors have been so dumb to let them go.

"How'd it go?" Bob asked me when we retuined. I was wiping my head with a towel to dry the sweat.

"They're gone!" 1 said and tossed the towel onto the candles on the sidewall.

He looked down, bowed his head and held his hands at his side.

"Who was the warrior on patrol?" I asked and walked up

un to him.

"It was me, Alpha," he said, his eyes glued to the floor,

His head was shaking, not voluntarily, it was his woll's reaction to buy own.

"Look at me." He slowly raised his head, trying g to hold it high

it high and meet my gaze.

"If they ever come back and they leave something else, you either bring them to me, or you rip their heads off and toss them at my feet. Is that clear?" I said with my hand on his shoulder. "Yes, Alpha," I was about eyes and stepped to the side.

flip, to rip open somebody and chew on their intestines. Bob didn't deserve to be that victim. I closed my

"Leave." He walked out, I knew he was pissed of with himself for letting them get away but he couldn't have known what it was. Messages were delivered every other day, not by messengers but still. It was an honest mistake, I just had to remind myself of that.

"You need to chill the f*ck down." Noah said and slumped down on the chair.

"If you know a way, please, enlighten me." I seethed.

"Let him be pissed, maybe it's a good thing,"

"Sit down, d*mba*s," Noah said and pushed his little brother down on a chair.

"He's right, you need to control yourself, and your wolf." Nick said and raised his head. I walked up to him. He was the most controlled of the three, always talking and thinking before acting. "You don't think I know that?" I asked.

"You won't do any good to anyone if you act out of emotion."

"Then what the f*ck am I supposed to, huh! Gabriella is in her room, refusing to talk, eat or acknowledge anyone and you relax while that f*cker is out there trying to get his hands on her again" "Yes,"

CHAPTER 40.

"I care about her and I don't know how to fix her!"

100%

"YOU THINK THAT WE DONT?" He said pushing his face up in front of mine.

"You don't think we want our sister back? You don t I think we want to hear her voice and see her smile again? You don't think we want him dead, that we wanted you dead for what happened to her?" He said and slammed his fist against my chest.

"You don't think we know how you treated her like shit the entire time she lived here? You thought that was a secret? I wanted to rip you to shreds, not giving a single f*ck about the consequences and being fully prepared for an all-out war between our packs." He stepped closer, his voice lowered to that sensible f*cking tone that got on my nerves.

"I wanted you dead, I still do for what you did to her but I also know now that killing you won't fix shit. She'd still be broken and I would put her in another position where choices were made for her. You need to control yourself because if you don't, then your brother has already won." He lifted his head and stared dead in my eyes.

Shit.

He was right, I knew he was right, but how the f*ck was I supposed to control myself knowing that she was up there in that room, broken and beaten and I had contributed to that.

The other two were just sitting silently watching us. The tension in the room was thick, I had known that the guys wanted me dead. It would've been weird if they didn't but they were willing to put that aside to focus on the main threat.

The door opened up and the last person I wanted to see strutted inside.

"Hey," She said with a disgustingly sweet tone and walked up to me. Her eyes were hooded and she was looking with, what she thought, was a seductive gaze.

"I just wanted to say

by that I'm sorry about what happened and I hope we can move past everything." She said and smiled softly.

"Sam,"

"Yes?"

"I need you to leave." Her eyes fell and her mouth was left agape. She turned her head down slightly and her shoulders hunched.

I had plans for Sam but they had to wait, it wasn't time.

"Aiden-"I grabbed her wrist when she was about to touch m my arm and pushed it toward her slowly.

"I need you to leave before I kill you." I said softly and held her gaze to make sure she saw the truth I was speaking.

She gulped and tilted her head back, the fire in her eyes restored and she straightened her back.

There she is.

"Fine." She turned around, flicking her hair over her shoulder, and then stopped when she saw Nick. She bit down on her bottom lip and threw me a quick look before taking slow steps toward him. "I don't think we've met before, I'm Samantha," She said and extended her arm.

He rolled back his shoulder and grabbed her hand. I saw her jaw clench and her other hand digging in her nails into her palm.

"I'm

Nick, Gabby's h

brother." He said in a monotone voice, making a statement and a stance.

CHAPTER 40.

She gulped, a sudden flash of fear in her eyes and she then scurried away, knowing exactly what she was up against.

His eyes turned to me and I knew that the urge to kill me just grew within him.

Ca*sy was sitting in the garden with a blanket around herself and just staring at the flowers and the grass.

I walked over and sat down on the bench next to her.

I clenched my jaw and put my hands in my pockets.

"I'm sorry," I said. She didn't turn her head to look at me, and she didn't acknowledge me sitting down but I was just happy that she didn't get up. "About what?"

"All of it. Cole, Sam, Gabby,"

"Yeah. I heard about Cole, though, thanks,"

"I should've done it sooner,"

"You did it. That's all I can be grateful for," she heaved a sigh and wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.

"What are we gonna do? She's broken, Aiden,"

"I don't know. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out a way to help her but it's just...I don't know,"

"She won't even be able to celebrate getting her wolf;

"Wait what?" I asked and turned my whole body to face her.

A sudden dreadful pit grew in my stomach and when she turned her head the pit just grew.

"It's Gabby's birthday in two days," She said.

"F*ck." I tossed my head. How could I have not known that?

"It's Gabby's birthday in two days?" I asked and walked into the dining room where the guys were talking to my parents.

"Yeah, why?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Edmund scoffed and leaned his elbows on his knees.

"You married her, we assumed you knew the birthday of your wife.

Shit.

My head fell.

"Right," I said quietly.

"I already prepared the celebrations a few days after she came here My mother said.

"Your mom knows it's her birthday," Edmund said and I growled.

CHAPTER 40.

"Mom, what celebrations?

100%

"I've already ordered the food and pastries from the kitchen as well as a cake. I've also made sure the Omegas knew what to decorate and then later on we would go away and she would be able to shift for the first time."

"Where you going to fill me in on these plans?" I asked and narrowed my eyes on her.

"Honey, you showed no interest in anything regarding g that girl, why would I think her birthday would be any different? I was going to taker her alone, maybe with Ca*sy, so that she could really enjoy her first shift," What had 1 done...f*ck!

"Alright, um, make sure everything will be ready for her birthday,"

"She won't want it," Edmund said and tossed his head.

"She will, I'll.....I'll figure it out,"
