My mouth is dry when I come to. And my head feels as if it is stuffed with cotton.I let out agora when I try to move and somebody is holding me up, murmuring, “Here. Drink this.”It’s water.Cold, fresh water, and as it flows down my throat, the cotton in my head begins to disappear.My eyes are bleary when I open them, “W-What happened?”“You nearly poisoned yourself,” Comes the angry response and I see vaguely familiar face looking down at me. It takes me a moment to recall everything, and I slump back into what is clearly a bed."It would have been kinder for you to have let me die,” My voice is heavy. “Let you die?” There is a strange undertone in Adam’s voice. “Why would I let you die?”I don’t answer his question, looking around instead. I’m in a small wooden cabin. When I look at Adam, he doesn’t look very pleased and I turn my head away, |Do you know what it’s like to be abandoned by everyone you loved and trusted? To be sold off as if you are not not an existence t
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Everything inside me goes still, “What? Say that again.”Adam has a half smile on his lips, but his eyes are serious, “You are my Luna. My true mate, my other half. My-”“I get it,” I snap, annoyed at his light-hearted attitude. “I mean how do you know?”“How do you not?” He raises a brow. “You felt that connection when you first laid eyes on me. And don’t bother lying to me, little skunk. I saw it in your eyes.”“Will you stop calling me that!” I half wail. “This is a serious topic!”“Okay, okay,” He raises his hands in surrender and laughing quietly. “I don’t know what else to call you. Why don’t you tell me your name?”I hesitate before saying, “Danielle.”This time his smile is soft in a way that makes my face feel way too hot, “That’s a beautiful name.”I flush, “Thank you.”And then he pinches my cheek again, “But I’ll keep calling you little skunk.”I give up at this point.“Fine,” I glare at him. “Why can’t you be serious? How do I know that you’re not saying any of
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
“A servant girl at the Moore mansion gave it to me,” I tell him, my eyes on his face. “Her name’s Jenny. She has a large burn scar on the right side of her face.”Adam goes still in an almost unnatural way, his face stiff, “What did you say?”His words are a threadbare whisper.Unnerved, I repeat myself and I see a savage pain in his eyes, “Jenny? Jenny’s still alive?”He seems so shocked and devastated. But under the agony, there is relief, but I feel confused, “How do you know her?”Adam’s jaw is tense, “She’s my little sister. I thought - I thought Jason had killed her or worse.”What could be worse than killing someone?I don’t realise that I’ve spoken aloud till he gives me a pointed look and something within me goes still as horror fills me, “He wanted her too?”Adam looks angry but nods, “It’s a long story. I don’t feel up to talking about it just yet.”I’m about to say something when I feel a piercing pain inside of me and I groan, curling up into myself.He is by my
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
I go still on hearing that, “What?”Adam gives me a dry look, “Surprised?”I stare at him, stunned, “But he did the same to me. Why Cameron-”“How do you think the Moore family became so rich?” Adam gives me a long look. “They mostly do the Alpha’s dirty work. Jason gave them a lot of trading rights in exchange for this. Cameron and I used to play together as children. Never did I fathom that he would betray me like this. I begged him not to do this or to just take Jenny as his mate. But he refused to. He did this to the little girl who used to follow him around since she could walk on her feet.”I sink my teeth into my lower lip, “But surely if Jenny is a servant there, she can leave right?”Adam lets out a bitter laugh, “You really don’t know much about this pack, do you?”When I just stare at him, he shakes his head, “She’s not a servant, Danielle. She’s a slave. Females have very little rights here. After Jason took the mantle of Alpha, he started making a lot of changes. Thi
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER NINETEEN
The mating bond gives me the push I need to allow my wolf out.I feel the fur rippling all over my body and under the intense pain is a sense of freedom as if I can finally breathe.When the pain finally stops, I slowly open my eyes, only to see Adam staring at me, his eyes glinting.“You’re magnificent,” He murmurs, his hands running over my fur.I stare at him, feeling almost wild, before I trot over to the hot springs to take a look at myself.My fur is a light grey and when I look over my shoulder, I see the large black wolf walking towards me. He rubs shoulders with me before licking my snout and grinning. I can feel Adam’s presence inside of me, a steady throb within me. And when I look at him, I feel a sense of belonging and home.This sly tongued man with his teasing words and sad eyes, he’s mine.And for the first time, I’m hopeful for what the future holds.*Shifting back is easier and I’m giddy with excitement after my first transformation. And yet there is
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY
I stare at him, “What?”When he doesn’t answer right off the bat, I feel a bit panicked.“You’re saying we should sneak in-”“Sneak in?” Adam lets out a sharp laugh, filled with anger. “We’re mated. We can walk back into that pack, and nobody can touch you or me. Jason can’t steal you from me and if he tries, I want the pack to see his true face. And I’m still the beta of the pack. I am still the heir to my family. Me returning won’t be a shock.” However, I’m not entirely convinced, “What if he does something to Jenny?”“I’ve been thinking about that,” He murmurs. “There’s a good chance he’ll try. But our first stop will be at the Moore house. Cameron owes me his life. If he is willing to repay the blood debt, then I can get Jenny out of there. Years have passed. I doubt that if I reach first, he’ll think that Jason still has an interest in my sister.”I feel tense because this whole thing seems like a gamble, “And what if he doesn’t?”Adam’s smile is sharp, “Then we play the g
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
They stare at each other and then Cameron’s gaze shifts towards me.“You’ve caused me a lot of trouble, Danielle.”His voice is calm but there is an underlying note of strain in it.“But if you had to leave, you shouldn’t have come back.”Adam’s hand curls around me, “I would prefer you don’t speak to my Luna.”That has Cameron reacting.“She’s your Luna?” Cameron looks shocked. “How is that - She’s past the age of finding her true mate!”“Well, clearly you’ve been fed a bunch of lies,” Adam hisses. “I knew the moment I saw her. She is now my mate; she wears my mark!”I push aside my hair to reveal the mark on my neck.Cameron’s eyes tighten, “Jason isn’t going to like this.”“Well Jason has taken enough from me for a lifetime,” Adam says, coldly. “If he tries to go for Danielle, I’ll kill him this time.”Cameron just studies Adam before he says, "Why did you bring her back? Why did you come back?”“I want my sister.”I see the shift in Cameron’s eyes, “Look-”“I know she
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
“What now?” I ask Adam as we leave the forest.“I’ll handle it,” he says, distractedly.I open my mouth to say something and then snap it shut. The fear of annoying him enough to cast me aside is becoming overwhelming by the minute. However, it seems that Adam has noticed my reaction and he stops, “What is it?”“Nothing,” I fake a smile but when I try to begin walking, he pulls me back.“No, there’s definite something, little skunk. Start talking,” He stares at me.I hesitate, “I want to be included in your plans and decisions. I don’t want to be sheltered or just not told about what you’re planning to do because you think I’m too young or stupid or something along those lines.”“I never said-”“Some things don’t need to be said, Adam,” A part of me is resentful and scared.“I’m sorry,” he says after a brief moment. “I’m used to doing things on my own. I was the beta of this pack. I didn’t have to run my decisions by anyone before-”“You have a mate now,” It’s difficult to spe
