The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
I close my eyes and ears to what is happening to my parents but fortunately, I don’t hear much about them. It’s like they have disappeared.“I’ll fix things,” Adam tells me grimly a few days later when he sees me sitting quietly, my face pensive. “So far nothing has happened.”However, there is more than my parents that I’m concerned about. Maya, Adam’s ex-fiancée and childhood friend has decided to move in to catch up and my mate has begun to forgive her for her siding with his parents. It worries me because they two of them have history and were close enough that he wanted to mate her five years ago. But I’m scared of pointing that out to him.So far, ever since I’ve met Adam and mated him, I’ve brought one problem after the other to his doorstep. I want to become someone he can lean on, not someone he constantly has to save. I’m not a damsel in distress but it seems I’ve been forced into that role.I sit across the couch from the two of them as they talk amongst themselves. I

They clamp my mouth shut, forcing me to swallow and tears spill out of my eyes as I try to struggle and fail.Why?! Why is Maya doing this?!They finally let me go and weak as I am, I scramble back, trying to spit it out but I’ve already swallowed the wolfsbane.“How much time?” Maya asks, looking at Cara.Cara checks her wristwatch, “Twenty minutes will do the trick.”Twenty minutes?I have to get out of here! I try to get to my feet, but Cara kicks me in the stomach, pushing me back against ta pile of broken chairs in the corner, “Just where do you think you’re going?”I get enough of my voice to gasp at Maya, “What are you doing?! Let me go!”“Let you go?” Maya mocks me. “Go where? To my Adam?”My eyes tighten in anger now, “He’s not yours.”“He was mine till you decided to mate him!” She spits at me. “I’m his Luna,” I’m so tired of always being the victim. “I was chosen for him!”Her slap has my ears ringing, “You think that makes you special?!”Her claws are out an

I stare at him, “What?”Jason’s lips curve and while his tone is gentle, his voice is filled with malicious glee, “Oh, did Adam not tell you? I’m not surprised. Perhaps he didn’t see the need to tell you because he thought you would bear him children. But now you know what he thinks about you, don’t you?”I stare at him, wanting to speak, but nothing coming out of my mouth.“Who do you think will make a good second mate for him, do you think?” Jason smiles at me. “His parents want Maya and I agree. She is classy, has been raised in the same environment as him, and the two of them were childhood friends. She knows him better than he thinks. She knows all about what he likes and doesn’t like. She makes him laugh. He might be upset with her for now but once she is in his bed and bearing his children, he will find himself growing enamoured with her once again.”It’s difficult to breathe, “You’re lying. Adam would never do that to me.”“Wouldn’t he?” Jason laughs. “You really were a sh

I freeze in my spot, and he grab my wrist, his voice angry, “Why aren’t you saying anything now?”I slowly turn around to look at him. A part of me is screaming to tell him everything but Jason’s words are etched in my brain.“I saw you there!” He growls, grabbing my upper arms and giving me a shake. I saw you sitting in his office! He was inches away from you!”Is this another scheme? I wonder, dimly. I must have been silent for too long because anger lights up Adam’s eyes, “Why aren’t you saying anything? If I hadn’t been passing by and seen you with my own eyes, would you have lied about-”“Passing by?” I finally say, staring at him.I feel nothing right now.It’s like somebody has carved me out and there’s nothing left anymore.“Let me guess,” I can’t even muster up a fake smile right now. “You with Maya, weren’t you? Did she suggest that route? Or maybe an evening walk?”Adams eyes narrow, “Look, whatever your problem with Maya is, I’ve told you-”A broken sound leave

“So, you truly believe I would be capable of something like this?” I look at Adam, my voice dull.His jaw tightens, “I don’t want to, Danielle. But the facts-”“The words of your childhood friend and the pack doctor, you mean?”“I saw you at Jason’s office!” He growls.I can see the way the corner of Maya’s lips twitches, but her tears are still pouring, “We both did, Danielle! Look, I told you this afternoon, that whatever your concern was, you should talk to Adam about it!”I tilt my head, “Was that before or after you led me to that cabin and force-fed me wolfsbane?”“What?” Adam’s eyes narrow.But I don’t expect him to believe me. I don’t expect anything of my true mate anymore.“What are you talking about, Danielle?” Maya sobs. “Why are you constantly trying to create a rift between me and Adam? I just got him back after five years! I don’t mean either of you any harm!”I purse my lips, “Of course you don’t.”Adam takes a step towards me, “What are you talking about?”“
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
The darkness is a nice reprieve and I find myself floating in it.Is this what death is like?My mind feels blank, my worries having faded.But as I float there, I feel something tugging at me.Discomfort hits me first, followed by the sensation of something winding around me. I begin struggling but when I open my eyes, it looks like a glowing strand of rope. It entwines around me and begins pulling me in a certain direction.I begin to struggle, alarmed but I can’t seem to put up much of a fight.The golden rope is warm and comforting but I don’t want it. I want to stay here.However, it’s a losing battle.I jerk awake, my eyes wide, gasping for breath. My whole body is drenched with sweat.I barely have time to process what has happened before Adam’s face is in front of mine, his expression a mixture of agony and fury.“Oh, thank heavens! You’re awake!”His words make me realise that he revived me and the anger that fills me is so much that it bursts out of me, “What the h

“No, you don’t see!” He bursts out, making me flinch.“I refused,” he says, tightly. “I told them that no matter what happened, that even if you really had gone through with something like that, I didn’t want to spend my life with anyone aside from you.”His hands cup my face, his eyes filled with grief, “No one but you, Danielle. I swear on my sister’s life. You are all I have ever wanted in a mate.”I don’t know whether to believe him or not. I don’t know how to believe anything anymore.“I don’t want you to hold yourself into anything, sweetheart,” He swears. “I just want you to be you. You are my Luna.”I remember Jason’s words from the afternoon before, “A true mate bond doesn’t mean you will have feelings for me. Jason has a Luna but he still-”“A true mate,” Adam interrupts me fiercely, “is the most perfect fit for you. Jason is twisted and so is Cara. Yes, love is never guaranteed but I fell for the say I met you, Danielle. When you stood there, covered in skunk door, con

Returning to the house is a difficult thing for me because I don’t want to go back. But Adam is able to convince me in a few words.“We can stay here and forget about revenge, Danielle, but as long as Jason is the Alpha, think of all the females who are his targets, who will suffer similar fates to yours and Jenny’s. Think all the girls in the red-light district who might have been thrown there as a result of Jason’s greed and lust.”That is the only reason I agree.So, when we return to the house and the butler looks at me, his face tightens in shock.At this point, I have a strong feeling that everyone was aware of this plan to feed me the wolfsbane. I’ve relayed everything to Adam, word to word, and the anger is in his eyes had been satisfying to say the least.Nobody had expected him to bring me back. News of me leaving must have sounded throughout the mansion if the butler’s shocked look was anything to go by.Which is why when we walk into the drawing room, Adam tells me to
