บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1): บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

GabriellaLucienne was waiting for them as the truck pulled up near the border of the territory, and he guided them through to the main house. The moving truck driving in drew a lot of attention and Gabriella knew that the moment they arrived, her uncle would probably guess what was going on. As she slipped out from behind the driver’s seat, she noticed Lucienne walking out from behind the truck dressed only in boxers and her heart skipped a beat. She won the jackpot when it came to beauty and brains with him, and she fought the urge to run into his arms and kiss him.“Hi, girls.” He smiled and Gabriella quickly introduced them just as Zion came running up to her frowning.“Zion, sweetheart, I don’t have time to explain right now. Could you possibly help the girls, please? I will tell you everything as soon as I’ve spoken to the pack.” Zion nodded and showed them into the main house when Gabriella mind linked her that she didn’t want her dear friends to be in harm’s way if things went

GabriellaGabriella finally went to sleep and when she woke up in the morning she could smell the incredible scent of Melody’s bacon pancakes! She breathed a sigh of relief as she came bounding down the stairs and realized Lucienne wasn’t there. Zion and Venus were ogling the food as Melody popped one dish after another out of the oven. They set the table and grabbed some food. Zion and Gabriella, of course, looked like little piglets with the amount of food on their plates, but that was Melody’s famous bacon pancakes! Who could resist?!“So, what happened last night?” Zion had never been one to keep quiet about uncomfortable things. It was as if she had this insatiable need to pick at the wounds that hurt the most. Gabriella stuffed her mouth full of the delicious food so she had a proper explanation for not answering Zion’s very intrusive question. “Okay,” Zion grinned.“Spill!” Venus said in a strange-sounding voice as her eyes suddenly turned a strange blue and Gabriella rolled he

GabriellaLucienne could understand Gabriella’s fury but he wanted to find out who helped her uncle. Who in their midst was a traitor to the pack? He knew Gabriella’s uncle and aunt wouldn’t face her head-on. They were too cowardly for that and out there in the unclaimed territory, there was a huge possibility that they would run into rogues and be killed in any case. That was if they didn’t make friends with the rogues, which was another problem Lucienne had to discuss with Gabriella. To be safe, they had to up their border security. Just in case, her uncle and aunt had already made friends with someone outside of their territory that could help them. Lucienne had a feeling that they hadn’t seen the last of those two, so why chase after them when you could wait and prepare and force them to come to you?Gabriella, on the other hand, was furious that Lucienne thought he could order her around! No male was going to tell her what to do! Especially not the one that was meant to love and

GabriellaThinking about her uncle made her think back to the day her parents were killed.Flashback“Gabriella Nightshade, report to the principal’s office. Gabriella Nightshade, report to the principal’s office immediately!” The gruff female voice shouted out over the intercom.“What the hell did I do this time?” Gabriella thought to herself as her heart started racing. Her dad said one more demerit or call from the principal, and her phone was a goner, forever. That would ruin her life! How was she supposed to keep up her social media presence without her phone? She couldn’t think of anything that she had done that merited her having to see the principal. Her hands were sweating. She has been good lately. She walked quickly to get the suspense over and done with. Ms. Wetherby looked sympathetic, which was very weird. She usually looked as if she enjoyed it when they had to see the principal.She must be in serious trouble. Oh, crap! Was she going to be suspended? Her dad was going

GabriellaIn the unclaimed territories, Magnus, leader of the rogues, was trying to figure out how to get rid of his new guests in a way that would benefit him. With that new alpha girl running the pack, it had become clear he wasn’t just going to walk in and take it all. His scouts and spies had informed him that they had strengthened their border defences and that the little girl had forced the wolves back into training! They were at their weakest right before she came back! He walked downstairs to the dungeons where his two guests were whimpering in the corner of one of the cells and he sighed.“Pick them up! I can’t talk to them when they look like that.” He ordered one of his guards, and four rushed over to help Gabriella’s uncle and aunt stand up. Magnus started to pace back and forth while rubbing his chin. “You have really made things difficult for me, you know?” He stopped and looked at them as a smile started to form in the corners of his mouth. “But I have a plan on how you
