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
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
Whatever I had been expecting, it had not been this.I hadn’t thought that Adam would through Jason under the bus so quickly. However, despite Jason’s anger, he is quick to do damage control, “I don’t know what misconception you have about what is going on here, but it is not my fault if Cameron refused to mark your sister. He must have seen something lacking in her. But considering the scars she bears, is it any wonder that no self-respecting man would want to take that female as a mate? She should be grateful that she can still serve the pack.”There is a threatening edge to his words, and I can feel Adam’s hand tense, but his expression doesn’t change.“I told you back then not to abandon the pack simply because your sister lost her status,” Jason’s face is beginning to relax. We had to survive five years without a Beta. The pack suffered with the hierarchy being affected. And now you come back, taking the female I brought from another pack to stand next to Cameron Moore simply s
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
As I look at him, hearing his words, a cold anger fills me.“Are you really threatening to use my family against me?” I sneer. “The same ones who sold me off to you, knowing what you had in store for me?”Even as his words have horrified me, this is my last-ditch attempt at protecting them. They may have done wrong by me, and they may have stabbed a knife in my back, but it doesn’t mean I want them to suffer. Under the hurt and betrayal, there is still love. I hate myself for it, but I can’t stop how I feel. Jason’s eyes narrow, “We’ll see if you’re singing the same tune when I rip them apart in front of you.”“Enough!” Adam inserts himself between us, snarling. “Don’t talk to my Luna!”Jason sneers, his voice calmer now, “I’ll see how long she remains your Luna. When I have her family splayed out in front of me, she’ll come crawling to me on her hands and feet. Just you wait.”I can sense Adam’s rage soar and I grab him by the middle before he does something stupid like punch t
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
“Fiancée?” I look at Adam confused.Adam doesn’t look very pleased, but he doesn’t deny it, either. “It’s true that our parents welcomed this match and wanted me to approach Jason to arrange this match but then that bastard took Jenny from us-”“Please, son,” Adam’s father says, stiffly, “don’t take that thing’s name in our house.”I see the flash of fury in Adam’s eyes, “That ‘thing’ is my little sister!”His mother sighs, as if in exasperation and it’s then that I notice the three-year-old sitting quietly in a corner, “No, that is your little sister, Adam. Riley, come over and greet your big brother.”Riley is a cute little thing, but I can see the disbelief in Adam’s eyes as the little girl toddles over. He doesn’t touch her or greet him, and I can feel his anger building inside of him like a damn, “You think you can just replace Jenny?”His words are akin to a roar and the little girl stumbles back, startled before bursting into tears. A woman who looks like a nanny hurries o
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
I have no choice but to fight back but fortunately the maitre’d walks in to check on the disturbance. He goes still, “Miss Cara? Is everything alright? Is this woman annoying you?”I’m the one bleeding and he’s asking if I’m annoying this bitch?“Are you blind?” I hiss at him, and he ignores me, “Miss Cara, the Alpha is waiting for you.”Cara sneers at me before draping her shawl over her arms in a delicate manner before crouching down and wiping my blood on her nails on my face, “I have the ability to take everything from you. You have no idea who I am.”Then she spits on me, adding a kick to my ribs, making me gasp in pain.The maitre’d ignores the whole thing, waiting for her to leave before approaching me his face twisted in annoyance, “You are making a scene. Please leave.”I shove him back as I get to my feet, humiliated, “I came here with Adam-”“We cater only to respectable clientele in this facility,” he says, harshly. “We don’t entertain whores.”His words shock me, a
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
“What?” Jason snarls. “What the hell is this? Who do you think you are coming into this pack and claiming our females?! I don’t care what she is to you, she’s our new pack breeder!”The man growls back, his wolf in his eyes, “No, she’s not! This female is my Luna. My wolf recognises her.”This is when Adam decides to step in, “Well, maybe we should ask my sister. Jenny? Is this man your true mate?”This is the first time Jenny has seen Adam and her eyes well up with tears but when she looks at me, I give hr a discreet shake of the head. Now is not the right time.She glances at the man holding her and nods, “I can feel the bond between us.”Her voice is rough and scratchy from all the crying but there is a determined note in her voice, as if seeing her brother has awoken something inside of her.“Well, there you have it,” Adam shrugs, a smug smile on his face as he looks at a furious Jason. “She’s his Luna.”Jason gets in his face, spittle flying from his mouth, “She isn’t his
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
My whole body feels cold as my eyes take in the faces of my parents, my brother, and his mate. My sister-in-law is holding my baby niece who is unharmed, something which I’m grateful for.“What the hell is this?” Adam asks, angrily. “You kidnapped her family from their pack?”“Kidnapped?” Jason laughs, amused. “Their Alpha was more than happy to hand them over. What do you think, Danielle? Aren’t I good at keeping my promises?”My whole body yearns to run to my parents but Adam’s hold on my hand is unwavering. He gives me a warning look and I stay still.“And what’s the point of this?” My mate asks, coolly. “You bring them here. Now what? It’s not going to change anything. Danielle is still my Luna.”Jason smirks, stretching his legs as he lounges in his chair, “Well, since Danielle decided to break out terms of agreement -”“She was deceived.”“-it’s only fair that her family fulfil her side of the bargain. I just wanted to let her know so that if she sees them around town, she
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
