Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)
Chapter 51

CHAPTER 51.

Aiden's POV-

The rain had stopped, it was six o'clock in the morning and the clouds were still dark in the sky.

I had gathered the warriors and the plan was to scour every inch of our surrounding grounds outside the border.

Whoever kidnapped Cassy couldn't have been far and they wouldn't have gotten for during the storm.

"Aiden!" Gabby came running down the stairs.

"You're not coming with us." I said.

She rolled her eyes and clenched her jaw.

"Here, Mr.Maler gave this to me yesterday. It belonged to Cassy," she handed me a scarf. It would help.

"Thank You," I said and grabbed it from her. Our fingers graced each other and I saw the little jump she did upon contact.

One day I would turn all her bad memories to dust and replace them with the best ones she could possibly imagine. "Be safe," she said.

I leaned down, cupped her cheek with my hand, and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. I held myself back, I wanted to taste her, to run

my hands all over her body and drag my tongue over every inch.

I wanted

d her to be mine. In every possible way but I knew she wasn't ready.

She smiled and stepped back.

Me, Nick and Bob were in the car. The others had shifted and were running past the borders and starting the search. We were going further down to see if we could replace anything out from the humans in the neighboring town.

"Hello?" I answered my phone as it rang but no caller ID showed.

"Alpha Aiden?"

"This is he. Who am I talking to?"

"This is Alpha Nicolas, I heard from another Alpha that you were looking for information regarding one of your pack members," I stiffened in the seat and I knew that Bob and Nick were listening in as well. "Do you know anything?" I asked. My guards were up, I hadn't heard from Alpha Nicolas in a long time, I believe the last time we heard from him was when my father was Alpha.

"I do and I believe you're on the wrong track. Asher doesn't have the girl,"

"How do you know this?"

"We have all been keeping an eye on you brother. He has made it difficult for many smaller packs and we were making sure he didn't misstep with us. Therefore we know every move he has made, and neither he nor a member of his pack has made a move in days. They seem to be planning and expanding, they haven't left the pack."

"Then where the f*ck is she?"

"I don't know but

hear anything, I will let

let you know," we hung up.

If Asher didn't have her then where the f*ck could she be?

"Do you believe him?" Nick asked me.

"I don't believe anyone."

Alpha, there's a faint smell but we can't tell where it leads

'Keep looking"

We parked the car and searched for hours. We had been knocking on doors and showing a picture of Casandra but no one recognized her. The other Alphas had no idea about either of the ones I had spoken

to This was all weird as fck.

was starting t to set. The surroundings were foggy and the clouds were

is were still th

thick and grey from the storm.

The sun was

Water drops fell down from the roofs of the houses and there were puddles everywhere.

"Should we head back?" Bob asked and slammed his hand on a lampost.

Nick was watching me, awaiting an answer. uck... did we go back? And admit to Cassy's father that we haven't found her or a single trace that might tell us where she is?

My phone rang and I picked it up in a haste.

"What?" I bit out.

"Son," shit.

"You have to come home,"

"Why?"

"Gabriella's parents, they're on their way here." I looked up. Nick's eyes widened and we all took off to the car.

We drove up to the pack house and parked, leaving tracks in the grounds and barely turning the car off before we jumped out.

All three of us ran up and through the doors. My father and mother were standing in my office. Gabby was pushing herself back onto the wall with her eyes cast down on the couch. Her mind was elsewhere and I saw how scared she was.

She had barely healed and now another curveball was being thrown at her.

"Aiden."

"What's going on?" I asked. My eyes scanned Gabby's fragile being before they slowly turned on my father's and hardened.

"They just called and informed us that they are coming.

"When?"

CHAPTER 51.

"Now." Gabby said and lifted her head.

Noah and Edmund came barging in. They looked between Gabby and me and walked over to her, forming a shield around her.

ing here?" My mother asked calmly,

"Why do you believe they're coming

"To finish what they started. They want to bring down your pack-" Edmund started.

"Not the pack, you." Gabby said and looked at me.

"Yeah, they want to bring down the Alpha. They surely have a plan B and if that done!!!! work they have C and D as well."

"We have to prepare. Gabby, you're going to stay by us the entire time." Nick said. "Why?" Marie asked.

"Because whichever letter of plan they are going to execute, Gabby the main player."

It was dark outside and the fog was setting across the forest line. Little drops of rain fell from the sky and the ominous feeling that lay over the land was hard for anyone to ignore. We were all on edge as we waited for the sound of the car driving up the path.

Nick looked up. His eyes were basically lit with a fire and he locked eyes with me.

"They're here." He said..

We all got up and opened the doors.

The Alpha couple stepped in. Unlike last time when they had one guard with them, this time it looked like they had brought a whole

entourage.

They walked in followed by fifteen warriors and also they're Beta. He was an older man, the same age range as Gabby's father with the same disgusting look on his face.

If evil had a face it would be a spitting image of the people in front of me.

'Calm yourself'

I'm trying

"Try harder'

"It is so nice to meet you all again!" She said with a high-pitched voice and reached out her hand to everyone.

"My sons, how have you been?" She asked and cupped their cheeks

"Fine." She pouted her lips and patted Edmund's hair back.

"I'm sure you are all eager to come home. Don't worry, you will leare with us tonight." She turned her gaze to Gabby.

"Sweetheart, you're looking a little pale. You

should be out in the sun more often. The taste of freedom is something we all take for granted far too often," She drew in a deep breath and released it in a relaxing motion. Her shoulders relaxed and she looked lovingly at her children. At least what she thought was a loving look but in fact, it was colder than the weather outside. 3/4

CHAPTER 51.

The dinner was placed on the table and everyone was sitting

down

Nobody was speaking but it was easy to tell that everyone had their guard up.

"So what is the business you have with our pack so late at night?" Clark asked.

"Yeah, and why couldn't it wait until... I don't know, never?" Edmund winced when his brother dug the fork into his hand.

e really do miss ours. We want

"Well, we have been talking, me and Magnus, We have been speaking mostly about family and how we a our sons to come back home. Nick will soon take his place as Alpha of our pack and he must be ready,"

"And what about Noah?" Gabby asked and her mother stiffened for split second before relaxing.

"What about him, dear?"

"Why must he come home? Or Edmund?" She asked.

Gabby was sitting next to me, her hands rested on her lap and I felt them shaking. Her voice sounded strong but her mind and body surely weren't.

I reached down my hand slowly and graced my fingers over hers. I entwined our fingers and softly just let it Jay there, comforting her.

She immediately relaxed and took a deep

breath.

Her eyes slowly sunk to where our hands were touching before lifting

her eyes and locking them with mine.

"Hm," Her mom said and searched her daughter's face, Gabby regained her composure and her walls flew back up.

"And then there is one more thing we have come for." Her mother said and raised her head.

"We're bringing Gabby home as well. We believe that we acted too rushed with the decision of having her leave us and we have regretted our decision. You get to come home, sweetheart," Everyone froze around the table. Her brothers stiffened and I saw Edmund biting back real hard. His wolf was trying to surface.
