The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 12
♡Arielle’s POV♡“What am I going to do? What am I going to do?” I mumbled, pacing up and down in the bathroom like a madwoman. “Can I really go through with the deal?”A lot of things had changed and needed to be reconsidered the moment his true identity came to light. I was no longer dealing with an ordinary Alpha; it was one of the most influential Alpha Lords in the world. Marrying him would make me Luna, even though it was for five years. Being Luna was never part of the idea. It made things a thousand times more complicated.There was going to be a lot of eyes on our relationship, and with one wrong move, our lie could blow up in our faces. And worse, I could be putting my mom and Brielle in danger. What were the odds that even with the fake story we would create about me, someone wouldn’t get nosy about me, especially since I suddenly popped up in his life?They could discover my family and our secret. The whole situation would end up being a terrible catastrophe. My mom would n

♡Arielle’s POV♡“How did you get the money?” Brielle asked the moment my back hit my bed, and I sighed.The question I had been anticipating all afternoon and evening had finally come. I had to give it to her; she was a lot more patient than she usually was. She didn’t ask me all throughout the time we were at the hospital. She allowed us to get home first and have the best dinner we had in weeks, then dropped the question on me the moment we were in our room. On a norm, she would have found a way to drag me to a corner at any time of the day and grill the question out of me.“Will you believe me if I say it was a miracle?” I asked, refusing to look at her as she lay by my side.“Miracles have a source, you know. So what’s the source of this one?” She asked, and I let out another sigh.How was I going to tell her I was entering a contract marriage with not just an Alpha but an Alpha Lord? She wasn’t going to judge me, but I couldn’t fashion the right word at that moment.“I just got r

♡Arielle’s POV♡“You’ll be alright, Arielle. I know you have a large distrust of me, but I swear I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.” Raphael comforted, noticing my distraught appearance, and offered me a small reassuring smile.“Ok,” I mumbled, and I couldn’t stop the small, shaky smile from creeping on to my face as a reply. For an Alpha, he was kind of sweet. “I have one week to prepare myself before we leave, right?”I wished it could have been longer, but it was better that way. The longer I delayed, the harder it would be. I just wanted to see my mom being wheeled out of the operation room before I left.“Yes. And you just need to take a few personal belongings; everything else will be provided for you at your new home.”‘My new home,’ I drew in a shaky breath and held back my laughter. No, I couldn’t call it home. Home was where one’s heart was, and my heart was with my mom and sister. It could never be with him.“Ok,” I simply replied with a fake smile. Raphael opened his mout

♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Mom!” I gasped, and Brielle and I quickly jumped to our feet. ‘How long has she been there? Did she hear everything?’ I stared at her. The cold glare she sent my way told me she did. “Mom, I… I c-can explain.” I stuttered as my heart thumped harder with each slow step she took towards me. I wanted to help her, but the look on her face froze me in my place. “Mom, I—” *Slap* The collision of her palms hitting my cheek echoed through the room. It wasn’t hard because of her health, but it didn’t need to be. The emotional pain I got from the slap surpassed any physical pain I could have gotten. “Mom!” Brielle gasped, and I remained quiet with my hand on my cheek as I stared at my feet. I deserved it. I had betrayed her. I had done the one thing I had sworn not to do. “I knew what you told me this afternoon was a lie with the way Brielle was acting, but I never expected this.” She snarled, and I flinched. She did notice. How did I not notice that she did? I underes

♦Raphael’s POV♦ “Arielle!” I gasped as Arielle walked into the hotel, looking dishevelled and beat down. I jumped up from the chair I was lounging on and rushed towards her. Her eyes were red and puffy, and even though she tried to look like she wasn’t crying a few minutes ago, it was obvious. When she suddenly called me and said she was coming over to the hotel, I knew something was wrong with how shaky her voice was. I never expected her to look so distraught. My wolf growled, threatening to burst free. The instinct to pick her up in my arms and pamper and pet her till her mood turned better, then release my fury in who ever hurt her waged war in me, but I subdued it. What was wrong with me? Why was I feeling that way about her? “Are you okay? What happened to you?” I asked, taking the suitcase she was pulling from her; thankfully, she didn’t protest. “Can we please move the date we’re leaving? Maybe tomorrow or next?” She whispered, sniffling a little bit. ‘Wasn’t she devastate

♦Raphael’s POV♦“Thank you for yesterday, and I’m sorry for being moody.” Arielle’s meek voice from beside me broke my attention from the clouds outside the window, and I snapped my head towards her. She avoided my gaze and paid attention to the book in her hand.I stared at her, wondering if she had actually said that or if I had imagined her voice. That was the first and longest statement she had made to me throughout the day. Since she had woken up to the time we boarded the plane, she had replied to all my conversations with ‘ok’, ‘sure’, ‘alright’, and ‘yes’. The best I had gotten from her was ‘I’m fine’, nothing else, nothing more.She had kept quiet, with a solemn look on her face and her head in her book. Honestly, I had prepared for her to treat me that way till the end of the day, and I couldn’t blame her. The wound of her being disowned was still fresh, as was the fact that she was moving to a new place with a man she met in just a few days. She needed space to get used to

♦Raphael’s POV♦“We will land in the next twenty minutes, so here, wear this.” I said, dropping my large black hoodie, a nose mask, and shades on her lap.“Why?” Arielle crinkled her nose, picking up the large piece of clothing with the tip of her thumb and index finger like it was a plague. I would have been hurt if I hadn’t anticipated her disdain.“I don’t want the public to know you before I properly introduce you to them. Though we’re in a private session of the airport, I can’t risk a nosy reporter who managed to break in taking our pictures and leaking them to the public.”It would be too much of a hassle. It wouldn’t hurt our plan in any way, but the uproar was something I didn’t want at all. I wanted to announce my engagement at an engagement party, as it was supposed to be and not stir up another controversy about my dating life again.“I never thought media houses would be so bold. Don’t you have control over them? I mean, you are the Alpha Lord.” She asked.“Because there
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 19
♡Arielle’s POV♡ ‘I really, really don’t want to get up.’ I rolled from my left side to my right and snuggled deeper into the duvet. I had been awake for more than five minutes, but I had refused to get off my back. It wasn’t like me to just lie in bed and not want to get up; that was more of Brielle’s thing. I always got up the moment I opened my eyes, which was a minute before my alarm rang, to do my daily chores, but at that moment, I didn’t. For the first time in my life, I was refusing to get out of bed to face the world. It wasn’t because the bed and duvet were ridiculously and wonderfully soft and fluffy or that the ambience of the room was cozy. It was because I was afraid. I was afraid of what was going to happen. I was in a place I had never been before, in a position I had never imagined myself to be in, and I was undeniably afraid. Though I had done all the pep talking, confidence training, and building my nerves of steel for when I was going to arrive at Raphael’s house,
