The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 1. XAVIER — " I found a way to stop the war..."
There was only silence as we stared at each other. Alpha Axel sat across me never once breaking eye contact. His attire for today was not so complicated as every other day. It was a simple big shirt and a dark pair of pants. His brown hair was also left untouched and his hazel brown eyes sat perfectly on his face. Staring at him like this sometimes felt like looking into a mirror. I could see all the features I inherited from him. The only difference was that he was older and I was younger. I also developed the habit of reading his emotions through his facial expressions. Which was exactly what I was doing now. As much as he tried to hide his true emotions; I could see right through him. He was nervous. Which felt strange since my father was not someone to be nervous about. He ordered out his wishes and they got fulfilled. “Have a drink, Xavier,” he broke the silence with his thick voice. He gestured at the glass of wine that was placed on the coffee table between us. It was red
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 2. ARIEL— "I'm not asking you to marry him, I'm ordering you"
I stared at both my parents in disbelief. I looked at my father who stood there with an expression as strong as liquor. With eyes as blue as the sky and hair as blond as his skin. To my mother who had skin as brown as creamed coffee and eyes as gray as dark clouds. They seemed to be in their right senses or at least my mother seemed alright with her well-matched clothes which had been pressed to perfection. No crazy person would look that posh. “Did they threaten you? Are they blackmailing you?” I demanded. “Ariel, I made an alliance with the King of the North and I have to keep it,” my father responded. This conversation wasn't supposed to have dragged out this long but disbelief held me by my hair. My frown must have deepened in a way my mother said made me look like a withered prune. “At my own expense?” I demanded and I felt my voice breaking. “I cannot marry a total stranger. I cannot marry a man I do not love. I cannot even see myself doing it,” I protested. Pitifully mi
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 3. ROSELINE— "I was going to do everything to keep Xavier for myself"
I gritted my teeth in anger as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The princess had struck again. Wasn't it enough that her parents were the ones to inherit the throne? Wasn't it enough that she got to live the luxury that I was supposed to live? Now she had gotten herself another luxury. She was to marry the Prince of the North! I violently pushed every beauty products and jewelry that were on my table with my right hand and they all went crashing into the ground. My anger did not subside. It only intensified. My body vibrated with every intake of breath. My eyes had switched from blue to orange. I felt a strong emotion burning in my throat and it took every ounce of power from me to stop myself from waltzing into Ariel's room and bashing her to death myself! "What a crybaby she is! She would have ended up with her useless and lowlife warrior boyfriend. He is a peasant for all I care and I was happy about that. At least, she did not get to have a perfect lover but no! Everyt
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 4. Ariel — "I love you but I can't do this"
I stared blankly at my disheveled reflection in the mirror. As hard as I tried to smile, I just couldn't bring myself to. I only ended up stretching my lips until it felt like they would fall apart. From the mirror, I could see Asher staring at me expressionlessly. I wondered what he was thinking. "Say something, will you?" I snapped. I could not help the anger I felt; at the world, at my parents, at myself. I was projecting my anger and fear on him and that made me feel even worse. "So you're getting married." He blurted out in a hoarse voice. No shit, Sherlock. I forced down the sarcasm and focused my eyes on his face. The look of disbelief was evident there. I felt that way too. Between me and Asher, there hadn't been any pretense– we loved each other and we knew we wanted to get married. We had not in any way bargained for this plot twist. I stepped towards him and took his clenched fists in mine. His fingers had gone cold and I could feel a slight tremble in his hands. "
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 5. Rosaline — " operation make him hate Ariel"
My smile was sharp enough to cut down a tree but inside, my wolf simmered in anger. I knew that if I wanted to keep Xavier for myself, I needed to act fast and smart. It was a good thing Ariel was not interested in him but honestly, her input didn't matter, he was going to be mine and her parents had decided and it would be so. If she was being honest with herself, this was a losing battle, thank the heavens that she was delusional as well. My face scrunched with temporary disgust as my sights washed over her, how could a crown princess have the hots for a rat... A mere warrior. I'm glad she was tasteless, at least I could be the one with the better taste out of both of us. That was a weight I could bear. “Ariel dear, I feel so bad for you and Asher. I mean, I always thought you looked good together.” My stomach rumbled with the delicious lie, of course, they looked good together. They needed to... She sighed. “What can I do to make him hate me?” she asked. Sometimes, she wa
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 6. XAVIER — " I can explain"
The knock sounded on my door a second time and I fought to contain the smile that stretched my lips thin. When my father instructed me to make the journey to the South, taking a liking to my too-be-bride was the last thing I envisaged for. I had seen enough arranged marriages in my life to understand that choosing one's partner was important. I was the next king of the northern kingdom and the next alpha of the moon pack– both came with tremendous responsibilities of which I was very well aware– but I had made it a point of duty to always remind my parents that an arranged marriage was the last thing I would engage in. They seemed to agree with me and all was good until this fateful morning when my father hit me with the bizarre news of my betrothal. Now, it did not seem so bizarre anymore. It was only a few hours since I met Princess Ariel and I had a good feeling about this already. In the morning, I would formally meet her parents and when my family arrived in the evening, we
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 7.ROSELINE — "you betrayed and lied to me!"
Bile rose behind my throat, I thought I might vomit. The maid stared innocently at me. The idiot did not know what she had just done. I felt the overwhelming urge to slap her across the face but Xavier was here right now and convincing him was the most important thing. “You can go. Tell her I will be there shortly.” I whispered furiously to the maid. Thankfully, she took the hint and hurried away. I turned to Xavier. His face held serious confusion. I realized at that moment that no amount of explanation would make him understand me. “My prince, I can explain.” I breathed out for the second time. A million thoughts ran through my head. I did not expect him to forgive me that easily but what if he decided to take action against me for my deception? Did he hate me now? I could not allow that. “What was that about? Why did she call you Roseline and why did she ask you to meet with Princess Ariel when you are she? My father never mentioned that the princess had a twin sister.” He sai
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 8. ARIEL — " I know you only did it to protect me"
I pulled Roseline in for a hug. Roseline was the last person you could expect to find worried or afraid. Between the two of us, she was the daring one– always ready to fight for what she believed to be right. It was one of the many qualities that endeared her to me. Seeing her looking so anguished now broke my heart. The least I could do was comfort her and let her know I was not about to take offense to her. "It's fine. I know you only did it to protect me." I said and behind me, I heard her sniff back tears. I wondered what exactly Prince Xavier had told her to bring her close to tears. "Thanks, girl. I thought I would get in trouble for this. I was so scared." She said after I released her and touched her hand to her chest in a show of relief. "I got you, girl. Just don't do this next time, or at least confirm it with me before you do." I said, returning my gaze to my open closet. From my peripheral vision, I could see her nodding vigorously. "So what did you mean when you sa
