All Chapters of The Alpha's Rogue Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER 72~KIM~“I never pegged Catherine for someone to be this emotional.” Richard and I walked side by side from the car to the mansion entrance, laughing and chatting like we’ve always had this life and it felt right.“You have no idea.” He responded. His hand slipped, or I wanted to think so, but his finger was crossed with mine for a few seconds.The touch was subtle, but it felt like an electric shock. The world stopped spinning for a second and his eyes locked in with mine. Nothing was said, but somehow a lot was heard.“She always exudes so much grace. You’d never guess.” I managed to avert the silence and we continued in small steps to the dinning room.“Well, you’re learning every day…” he said,“I sure am.”“Well, I said one hour…” Catherine’s voice hit us even before our feet crossed the entrance.“We’re sorry. We got a little carried away and lost track of time.” Richard sounded less and less confident as we walked in and found Logan and Elena at the table with Catheri

CHAPTER 74~KIM~“Richard!”“Richard!!”I called multiple times and chased him down the hallway.Richard did not spare me even a glance.He continued walking like he could not hear me. Even jogging, I was still struggling to meet up with the heavy steps Richard was taking.“Richard!”I didn’t have to call again when he walked into the medical room.I covered what little steps were left and joined him in the room.Catherine was unconscious and breathing steadily.“Get me Galina,” he instructed.“Are you really not going to say anything to me?” I probed,“I just asked you to get Galina, didn’t I?”He said it like I was supposed to be grateful that he even spoke to me.My heart broke.I wanted to lash out, but importantly, I wanted him to say something about everything: Elena, his mother, losing his seat as Alpha. All of it, but Richard would not oblige and the longer I waited for him to say something, the more upsetting all of this was.“Get Galina!” he was emphatic.I stormed out of th

CHAPTER 76~KIM~ Sitting across from him on the dinner table, I was beginning to question all the reasons I even thought this was a good idea in the first place and now, I wasn’t so sure anymore.We struggled to get through dinner in awkward silence and I rushed out of the living area as soon as I was done with the dishes.I made my way to the bathroom and took a long and steamy bath, hoping to relieve myself of all the burden of the previous day.It was past midnight, so I could only hope that when I opened my eyes later that day, it was going to make right all the things that had gone wrong the previous day.“Kim,”“Oh, my goodness!” I clung hard to the towel around my chest that I had already loosened and dropped halfway before he walked in.I expected him to quickly apologize. Maybe run out, seeing that it was a bad time, but he didn’t do any of those.He fixed his eyes on me and would not take it off. His gaze caused me to take another look at myself to realize that the upper pa

CHAPTER 78~RICHARD~It happened!I watched her sleep peacefully in my arms the entire night and beauty had never been better depicted.The rush of it was nothing like I had ever felt before, not even with Elena.For the first time since I knew females, my wolf hit peak satisfaction.Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she had never known anyone before me, but something about breaking into her made me feel powerful and I had to do something nice for her. Just an expression of how happy I was.My joy however faded into nothingness the minute she stepped into the bathroom.‘What am I doing here?’This house that used to be a relaxation spot, an escape, now felt like a prison.I didn’t belong here. At least not long term.My place was in the mansion, leading my pack, but I had given that away for Kimberly, and yes, my wolf finally got what it wanted—the warmth of her body, but my wolf also knew its place in front of the entire pack.“Richard,” The sound of her voice yanked me

CHAPTER 80~KIM~I rushed back into the cabin, trying very hard not to cry. Trying to convince myself that he wasn’t worth the tears, and maybe he wasn’t, but it didn’t make it hurt any less.The whole day, I could not lift myself off the bed. The few times I dozed off, I was haunted by images from the night before.I could still feel the pleasure of last night, accompanied with the pain of being left alone because of Elena.The thought of coming second to her, no matter what it was that she did, was crushing.“No!” I jumped out of bed. “I can’t.”My mind was made up.I wasn’t going to lay around and feel sorry for myself.I grabbed the keys to Richard’s vehicle. The very one he left behind because he went along with the love of his life.From the moment I warmed the engine, I did not look back. I drove beyond the pack borders and right to Alpha Nune’s home.“You really do have a thing for late nights, huh?” He probed, coming down the stairs.“I could say the same thing to you, since
