บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Rogue Bride: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

CHAPTER 81~Richard~The last three days had filled my head with conflicting stories.For the first time in my life, I didn’t know what to believe, and at first, I blamed it on being shaken from my mother’s tragedy, but now I was back at the mansion, my mother was not recovering, but the pace of everything had calmed down.Logan was still Alpha, since Elena suggested it wasn’t honoring my mother to start a fight with her in that state, but it was also terrible for me to leave, because I was just giving the council, the pack and everyone else the chance to forget me.“Hey baby,” she walked into the room with a broad smile on her face, but I was not in the mood to reciprocate that energy.“Good morning,” I responded.“Well, we’re a little icy this morning, aren’t we?” Elena walked up to me and plastered a soft kiss on my cheek.I smiled.I always loved how she had to stand on her tippy toes to get to my face. I found it cute.“Elena,” I called, “I’m going to ask you a question and I nee

CHAPTER 83~KIM~“Good morning there!”I was definitely not ready to wake up, but with his face in mine as I adjusted in bed, I was forced to open my eyes.“Good morning, Jerry.” I was still rolling like a worm when my eyes caught a large bouquet of roses beside my bed.“Who are these from?” I sat upright, about seventy-five percent awake now.“Me.”I scratched my eyes and took another look at the bouquet.It was exactly like the one Logan gifted me. The first bouquet I ever received, except this one, was in green and white roses. Unique and nothing short of beautiful.“Is it my birthday?” I inquired, touching the petals softly, “Did I forget my birthday?”Jerry laughed. “No, but I like to make my guests feel welcome and a little birdie told me you would love them,”His response seemed a little bit suspicious to me. “Do I want to know?” I probed.“No.”I nodded, appreciating the honesty of the reply.I chose to agree with Jerry that ignorance was to my advantage in this case.“Thank y

CHAPTER 85~KIM~I spent the entire time trying different methods to get Jerry to tell me where we were going, but no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn’t.Begging. Manipulation. Blackmail. None of it worked. He insisted I would have to wait to find out myself and today…today was finally the day I find out.I stared at the reflection in the mirror, pretty proud of my choice of dress.The black shiny dress that was fitted to my body like a glove, until it flowed at the tail from a slit that was thigh high. There was completely no sleeve on the left and the right sleeve was an exaggerated rainbow of black rose flowers with beads hanging off them.My makeup was done by one of the maidens in Jerry’s pack and as I instructed, she made it nude, but still had my face perfectly snatched.To finish it up was my hair packed in a messy upward bun with curly strands hanging from the sides and the front over my face.“Woah!” Jerry walked in with his jaw hanging.I stared at his reflection in the m

CHAPTER 87~KIM~The hallways were empty, courtesy of the event going on, so dashing through the hallway to find Catherine in the medical room.My heart broke at the sight of her.I walked slowly to her bed side.She laid quietly. Peacefully, but I knew her heart would quite literally break if for any reason she woke up and found that Logan had taken over the pack.I stretched my hands over her, but the power restraints around my leg immediately warmed up.It was unfortunate that only a member of the royal family could take this nonsense off of me.“For Catherine,” I whispered and tried to push more power into her.The anklet grew hotter, burning my skin, but I struggled to hold it down for Catherine.‘Just a little more, if she was going to be awake long enough to be declared Alpha.’I closed my eyes very tightly and fought through the restraints.“What are you doing?”His voice startled me and forced my eyes open.Richard.“I…uh…” I dropped my hands down. “I just came to see her, Ri

CHAPTER 89~Richard~“Baby,” she called.I quickly turned around, snapping out of the deep thoughts and emotions I was twirling in when Kimberly walked out on me.“What are you doing here, Elena?” I attacked.I wondered why she just wouldn’t stay away from me, knowing very well I was avoiding her after she refused to help my mother.“Richard…”We heard a cough that did not come from either of us, since we were staring directly at each other.The cough came up again and we both turned our heads swiftly to my mother on the bed.‘She’s awake!’My mother was still struggling to open her eyes.“Mom!” I bent to her bed and touched her arm, gesturing for her to relax.“Richard,” A drop of tear trickled down my cheek when she called my name.‘She really was awake!’“Did you do this?” I asked Elena, who was standing at the distal end of the bed, watching us.She was quiet for a few seconds. “Of course, I did,” she replied, “because contrary to what you think, I do love Catherine, Richard…and I
