All Chapters of A Bride For The Ruthless Alpha : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~Damon~Immediately after dinner I marched to Xander's quarters with my insides boiling. If what Princess Sheila revealed was true, then nothing happened between him and Aria…and I had been angry at them for no reason.My jaw clenched hard.“You could have asked. You refused to listen to me and hurt our mate!” my wolf growled furiously. “Xander!” I banged on the front door. Xander came out. “Tell me everything that happened that night,” I demanded. “Isn't it a bit late to ask now, my Alpha?” He asked back, his tone unwelcoming. I exhaled, my jaw tightening harder. I messed up badly. I should never have treated my best friend that way. I had been so furious, so furious I refused to listen to anything. I had barked at him and forbade him from doing his gamma duties. Nothing could crush a wolf than being relieved of their Pack duties. But I had imposed such punishment on him without a second thought. “Why didn't you tell me…you should have done all in your power to tell me eve

~Damon~“They are here,” Logan whispered as Alpha Jamie and his entourage came into view.I stood in front of the Mansion’s main entrance gate with the elders. As the chief elder, my uncle stood beside me. He was particularly interested in this peace treaty renewal. Silver Fang’s peace treaty with my Pack came suddenly, and as a surprise to not just me but everyone. I could not discuss it with him beforehand. I could tell he was fuming inside when I announced it in front of not just him but the other elders as well. He could not show his fangs as there were many eyes watching. He liked to keep the appearance of the good Uncle helping his nephew to lead. “You must do all you can to ensure this renewal happens or else the foundation of this pack will be shaken and it will affect the future,” he'd told me last night when he visited alone. “How is your Luna…you must be getting along now,” he had said just before he left. All through the night, I could not stop thinking about what h

~Aria~Alpha Jamie leaned closer to me, his fingers lightly grasping my pendant.“Your necklace…where did you find it… it's rare and magnificent,” he uttered in admiration.It was the second day of the peace treaty renewal signing and we were standing in front of the ceremonial hall waiting for Lady Pat to join us. Last night, Jamie had suddenly left me in the gazebo after a guard whispered something in his ears. Something he didn't tell me as he hurried off but my sharp ears picked—his mother had just arrived at the Pack.The air shifted around me as his eyes strayed on my lips while he was still holding my pendant.My body tightened before I realised it and I could feel my pulse pounding in my throat.My wolf stirred, restless, pressing against my skin. Goddess knows I tolerated this lunatic’s flirting last night only because of the nature of his visit. And because Logan had personally told me Damon did not wish for him to be provoked in any way, and asked me to try my best to tol

~Aria~“Did you hear anything?” I asked Beatrice, pacing in the living room. Damon was still in meeting with the elders and it had been over three hours already. After Crescent Moon left, he immediately called for an emergency council meeting. Beatrice shook her head with a heavy sigh. “Nothing yet, my Luna.”I sighed exasperatedly, slumping into the sofa. “Trust in the Alpha, my Luna. He can handle this.”“But then, I wonder what would have happened if Lady Pat was truly poisoned. We'd all be cut down by sharp claws by now.”“Oh no, I can't imagine it!” she gasped, shaking her head dramatically. This was Elder Wraith's plan…this was exactly what he wanted…Stop the peace treaty and force the two Packs to go into war.But why…Why does he wish to ruin this pack by all means?Now it was clear why Damon looked at me murderously each time he saw me coming out of the meeting hall after speaking with his uncle.It was clear now…He hated me because I was chosen by his Uncle. Now I fe

~Aria~“Ouch…” I groaned, clutching my head.“You are finally awake! Let me get you some water!” Beatrice exclaimed and hurried to get me water.“What happened to me…” I mumbled, feeling the pain in my head increase. “Here. Drink this.” She handed me a glass of water. “You looked half dead when you came back from seeing your mom,” Beatrice added.“How long was I out for?”“Almost a whole day. The Alpha put you to sleep himself.” She narrated with a grin.“Uh…” My forehead gathered in a thick frown as I tried to retrieve the memory of it. “Did anyone else came to find me–”“The Alpha is here!” Beatrice whispered and ran out of the room.As soon as the door opened, Damon's scent drifted into the room. At the same time, the very memories I was searching for flooded back in a rush. My eyes popped open and my mouth hung in the air. I slammed my eyes shut, hurriedly lay back in the bed and pretended to be deep asleep. Gosh! Why didn't Beatrice tell me!Rumours about Damon carrying m
