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

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
The Alpha's Bride CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
“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
