Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)
Chapter 62

"We're not going after him," I said and placed my hand on the back of Gabby's chair.

"Why the f*ck not?" Edmund asked. That little punk had enough aggression in him for a whole pack.

Because he's coming to us." I narrowed my eyes and waited for Edmund's next snarky remark but it didn't come. He flicked his tongue and nodded his head. "Alright then." He said. Everyone has been informed about Asher and his plans. The whole pack knew what awaited and they were all prepared. "Gabby, what are your plans today?" She looked at E

Edmund and shnigged a shoulder carelessly.

"I don't know, I was thinking of going for a run and then maybe into town for a coffee." Noah looked at Edmund who narrowed his eyes at his sister. "That's it?" He asked.

at him confusedly.

She furrowed her brows and looked at

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing, just asking."

"What's going on with you?"

"Like I said, just asking." He said in a biting tone.

His eyes glanced over at me. The shitstorm that would happen when Gabby found out was

The poor girl was in for another surprise. And another decision she had no say in.

but I knew it was necessary.

"I'm heading out, do you wanna come with me?" Gabby asked when I stepped into her room. "About that, we need to talk." I said. She put her hair up in a ponytail and I prepared myself.

How the f*ck was this going to go?

"About what?" She asked and walked around the bed to grab her shoes.

Ten seconds.

"The phone call yesterday" she tensed and looked up at me. She tried to clear her face of any guilt but it was too late. "-Who was

it?" I stepped toward her. This was her cl

chance to tell me the truth. Her

Her throat bobbed as she gulped. She pursed her lips

and put her shoes on.

"I told you, it was nothing," she shrugged.

The truth was there, all over her face but she wasn't speaking it.

I walked closer to her. With each stride, she tensed even more.

CHAPTER 62.

"Who was on the phone, Gabby?" I stood an inch away from her. My eyes wanted to wander down her body, I wanted to press her up against the wall and yank that ponytail back as her a*s stuck out. Please, baby, just tell me the truth.

"Nobody,"

"Last time and then I won't ask again." I said and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Aiden, I told you, it was nothing. Please...just

st trust me," she breathed.

I was

blocking her way but I nodded my head slowly and stepped to the side.

She stepped around me and the closer she got to the bedroom door the faster she started walking.

Until she couldn't.

Her body slammed into the shield that had been put up. She placed her hands against the invisible wall and huffed a breath. I listened in and heard her heartbeat.

It was speeding by this p

s point.

"No... she breathed.

She slammed her hands against the wall and then slowly turned with a deep scowl. Her nostrils were flaring and her eyes glowed. "What

at the hell have you done." she seethed.

I walked up to her and my eyes went down to the mark. I slowly dragged my fingers over the scar.

"I'm sorry, but I don't trust that you're telling me the truth." She slapped my hand away and pushed at my chest.

"You don't trust me? Are you f*cking serious!"

"I know you lied about the phone call." I said. She stepped back and bit down.

"You can't do

this," she whispered.

I lose you," I said.

"My brothers

s will never be okay with this."

"Actually-" her eyes widened and she slowly turned and watched her brothers outside in the hall.

"-we are."

-Gabby's POV-

Aiden walked out of the room and they all stepped around the corner and disappeared. I ran over and banged on the f*cking wall but they didn't come back. I screamed til my throat started aching and still, nothing.

"Aiden!" Shit.

My heart was racing, my palms were sweaty and panic ran through my body. I heard my phone vibrating and hurriedly picked it up..

"Hello?"

CHAPTER 62.

"Tick tock, Gabriella. What will it be?" His voice echoed on the other line. There was no background noise. The second he stopped talking it went silent and I could hear my heart beating in my ears. My veins turned to ice and his voice immediately drew back

everything.

"I-I am trying but there has been a... a situation that I have to handle but I swear-"

"I don't give a shit about the situation. You know the stakes at line here. Aro

you grateful that I spared her life? Your best friend. I could've killed her, or done something much worse. You know that. So tell me, how important are the lives of your pack members? Or the lives of your brothers? Or your mate as I've heard? You can spare their lives, they can go on and live peacefully forever. No more innocent blood has to be spilled. It's up to you, Gabby," the first tear fell and I wiped it quickly.

"I'm trying," I whispered.

"Try harder. And remember, the second I have your pretty little as in my hands again, you're mine. So be careful about the choice you make, you can still save yourself but that means that their blood will be on your hands." I heard the amusement in his voice. My body was shivering from fear that engulfed me.

"And if you need any more motivation to get it done my phone chimed and I was scared to look at it.

*-here you go." He hung up. The line fell dead and I moved my phone in front of my face with a shaky hand.

I opened the picture he had sent and covered my mouth with my band, choking a sob.

It was three pictures of me laying naked in the room in the club. Asher was f*cking me on the couch and the others were lustfully

looking at and touching me.

"Next time I'll make sure everyone gets a taste"

The fourth picture was of Cassy and a man cutting her stomach with a knife and a heart-wrenching smile on his face.

I couldn't breathe.

I fell down on the floor and broke...again.

1 sat there crying and heaving for a breath until a heard a squeak in the floor and looked up. Aiden stepped inside. My blood started to boil, he had no f*cking idea what he had done. "Take it down." I seethed. I demanded but he didn't react. He was keeping his face void of emotion.

I walked toward him and slammed at his chest.

"Take the wall down!" I screamed and pounded at his chest but the s*n of a bi*ch didn't buckle. He didn't move an inch. I was raging.

any and all logic was out the window. I raised my fist, my body was moving on its own and my mind wasn't objecting. He was ruining everything.

My fist neared his face. His eyes were locked with mine but before they connected he grabbed my wrist and pulled it down and toward him, making me slam into his body.

"You don't want to do that, baby girl. He said coldly.

"Take the wall down!" I tried backing away and pushing away from him but he held on.

"Not gonna happen. His emotions were starting to show but I needed them all to resurface. I needed him to realize that he was being f*cking stupid.

"Please, take it down." I seethed.

He gripped my chin and forcefully pulled my face forward.

His lips were hovering over mine, brushing against them gently.

His eyes bored into mine.

"No." He said in a monotone voice. I pushed away and screamed and staggered back.

Aiden stepped closer and grabbed my arm as I raised it. He took it and locked it behind my back, pushing my front up against the wall. My chest was pressing up harder against the wall wall with each heavy breath and I was sweating and shaking from the anger I felt

I was pressing myself against the wall, knowing that fighting him was futile. I needed to calm down and handle it in a different way. Chapter Comments
