Lahat ng Kabanata ng REBORN AS THE ALPHA'S BRIDE: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Chapter 22PIPER I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. “Ready to go down the drain princess.” Sloane's smirk grew into a grin.The horn sounded, and my heart sank.The first round had begun.In a flash, Sloane descended upon me. Her fist came at my face, but I was quick to dodge; my stance was sloppy, and I almost lost balance. She didn't give me time to recollect; her movements were so sharp. Fear consumed me as I realized this was a lot more than I imagined. She struck again, using her leg. She aimed at my chest, but I stumbled backward, avoiding the hit. And to my bad luck, that was just the beginning, her strikes came in quicker, and I blocked, stumbled, dodged, barely, but every form of my defense chipped away at me. And the worst happened, a punch slammed into my ribs, and air whooshed out of me. “Ahh.” I gasped as my knees buckled, the pain shot through my body and I could barely breathe. I could hear the cheers in the crowd, I knew it wasn't for me, but it gave me t

Chapter 24PIPERThe last person I expected to see after regaining consciousness was Sage. He barely showed any concern, while Sloane was beating me to a pulp, so seeing his figure resting against my window, his back facing me, made me blink twice. His scent filled my nostrils but I still couldn't believe it. Maybe this is a dream, I am still asleep which explains why he's here.However, Kaela walking in made me think twice. “Princess, you are awake.” She announced, her voice holding a tinge of happiness to it. Sage turned, his face as stoic as always,he didn't say anything,just stood and watched like a frozen statue. Kaela settled by my side, helping me sit up, she brought the cup she was holding to my mouth, urging me to drink.Fortunately for me, this concoction wasn't as bitter as the ones she gave me on our first meeting.“How are you feeling?” She asked, brushing her hands through my hair, her fingers,warm and relaxing.“Better than yesterday,” I replied, clearing my throat.

Chapter 26PIPER“We need to talk.” Sage grabbed my hand and said the moment he stopped before me. “I believe we can discuss this with the council. They are a big part of this meeting, aren't they?” Sage growled, tightening his grip on my arm. I suppressed a wince, glaring hard at him. “Let go of me,” I warned, but he didn't budge.“Let go of me or I will scream.” I gritted out in a deadly whisper, feeling a spark of rage settle in my chest. Sage released his grip and backed up, he smoothed his shirt, his jaw evidently clenching and unclenching. “Alpha Sage…” Shantel began, but Sage raised his hand. “This meeting is adjourned. I wish to speak to the princess alone.” The council women readily got up and if they had been waiting patiently for this moment. They all left, including Sloane, and Sage turned to me. “What are you playing at?” He shot the question straight up.“What I was born to have. Leadership. The only reason I am betrothed to you is because my father isn't here. I w

Chapter 28PIPERWith Remi here, I knew things were about to be more difficult than I imagined. While having a training duel with Keala, Kaius showed up. That was the first time I was seeing him since the duel. He was more formal in behavior than I remembered.“I am sorry for interrupting your session Princess Faye, but there's an impromptu meeting you have to attend at the moment. Alpha Sage has asked me to bring you here myself.” “The Princess will be there as soon as she changes into something more suitable.” Kaela chimed in, but I shook my head. “No,” I replied with the craziest thought in mind. “I will go like this.” Kaela looked at me with wide eyes, “Princess, do you think that's…a good idea?”I nodded, anything to spite everyone who would be in that room. I also needed alone time to speak with Kaius, to understand why he had just chosen to act like I didn't exist. Kaius led the way, and I followed. As soon as we connected to the quiet hallway, I grabbed his shirt, stoppin

Chapter 30PIPER“T–That’s not true.” “Don't deny it, whoever you are.”Shantel deadpanned.“The Goddess brought me here for a reason. You can go ahead and tell everyone who I truly am; this doesn't change anything.” Shantel stood up, and Ares mirrored her. “I hope you are ready for what you are so eager to dive into.” She said and shifted her gaze to Ares, they both left, leaving me to my thoughts.I stood up, heading back to my room, as I turned towards the stares, a strong grip suddenly pulled me to the side, pushing me into an open door and shutting it immediately. I turned with a racing heart, ready to pounce on whoever had pulled me in here. But my defense slipped, realizing it was Flynn.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked, glaring hard at him.“I am intrigued, Princess Faye. I mean I have always known you to be quiet.” He stepped forward, his fingers rising to touch my face. I swatted his hand away, “Why did you bring me here? Do you know how implicating this can be for
