Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 49

-Gabby’s POV- The tension in the office was rising and we were all on edge. Noah was going over our parent’s words in his head and he couldn’t believe what they had planned. Nick was standing there looking stoic and Aiden was staring at him with his arms crossed over his chest. “No one knew what they were going to do but it’s done,” I said. I hoped that maybe I could ease the tension and soften everything up. They were getting agitated and I could see the battle of dominance happening between Nick and Ajen. “Guys, stop,” I placed my hand on Aidens arm and pushed him back softly. “You really had no idea?” Aiden asked my brothers. “How could we?” “Yeah, do we look like a happy-go-lucky family who shares everything? Cause if that’s the impression you’ve gotten then you’re f*cking blind.” Cassy stood up when her phone rang and she went outside. The door closed and I looked around at everyone. “We need a plan.” Nick said and looked at me. “For what?” “When they find out that their plan didn’t work, unless they already have, they’re gonna find another way to finish what they started.” I left the boys to do their planning and walked outside to find Cassy. She was standing by the door to the house and nodding her head. When she saw me coming she quickly said goodbye and hung up. “Hey, is everything alright?” I asked her and she smiled. “Yeah, everything is good,” “Was it your family?” She looked taken aback by my question but then nodded her head. “They were wondering if I wanted to come home for dinner,”

*I think you should, they probably miss you,” I said and grabbed her hand. “But I want to be here for you,” “You’ll come back,” I said. Cassy took off to her parent’s house to have dinner and spend some time with them. Time had gone by awfully fast these past few days and I hadn’t really had any time to stop and think about everything. Perhaps that was a good thing. 1/3 CHAPTER 49. Her car drove off and 1 werit for a walk. The clouds were drawing together and the surroundings soon became darker. I looked up and saw the rain-filled clouds. After about an hour I headed back to the house and saw that nearly no one was outside but the second I stepped in I heard the chatter commence. They were all scattered about in the house, hanging out and playing games. It started with a few raindrops falling and hitting the windows. And then, in just a few seconds, it was a full-on rainstorm. The winds became harder and grabbed chairs, lifting them up and tossing them away. I was sitting in the big room on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me. I wanted to go up to my room and just stay there but I couldn’t. I had to be here, to stay outside and be at least in the pretense of others. Lightning hit and lit up the outside. The thunder roared loudly around us and the fire had been lit in the fireplace. I could hear the soft sound of an engine driving up the road to the house. Who is that? I have no idea but who would be out in this weather?” The doors opened up and a man came stomping in. He pushed the door shut and removed his raincoat. A puddle formued around his feet from the rain dropping off him. was Cassy’s father.

I quickly went up to him and grabbed his coat. An Omega was going to the kitchen to make him a cup of tea. Marie and Clark came out of the dining room and walked up to him. She wrapped an arm around his and guided him toward the dining hall but he shook his head and stopped. “No. Thank you, but I’m just here to ask if you’ve seen Cassy?” He asked and looked at all of us. “Gabby, have you seen her?” my stomach “Mr. Maler, She left hours ago, she was coming to see you,” I said and furrowed my brows. An unstoppable pit formed in my and I was feeling nauseous. “She hasn’t shown up. We waited for her,” “You spoke to her on the phone earlier, after she hung up she left,” said. “We did speak, yes but she hasn’t shown up.” We were all looking wordily around at each other. Aiden came out of his office with Bob and walked up to Mr. Maler. “I’m sure she’s fine but we will go out looking for her,” Aiden said and laid a hand on the worried man’s shoulder. “I’ll come with you,” He said and nodded his head. “Sir, with all due respect, the weather is harsh and we both know you’re in no condition to be out there in the woods,” He sighed and his eyes sunk. Find h came back her, please,” He said. Marie guided him to the dining hall, telling him that they would wait there until Aiden and the warriors He called on a dozen warriors and they all gathered. CHAPTER 49. “You two search the town. you guys take the south end of the border… you take the north and west and me, Daphne and Bob will take care of the rest.” After they had all been given their orders they

took off. Mr.Maler was sitting still in the chair holding his cup of tea. Marie was sitting near him. Her arms rested on the table and her fingers were wrapped around the cup. It seemed that nobody knew what to say at this moment. All of us just prayed that Cassy had taken a detour or maybe gone on a run. He looked up and saw me coming in. Clark was standing in the corner, watching over everyone. “We will find her, Thomas,” He said and looked at him with determination. I had never known that his name was Thomas. I’d probably stick to Mr.Maler. “Where could she be? You said she left after we spoke on the phone” He said and looked at me. All eyes turned on me suddenly and I felt scrutinized under their gazes. Pull your shit together, Gabby…. “Yes, sir. She left right after she had talked to you.” “Then it can’t be she took a run, she wouldn’t run for a whole day.”I furrowed my brows and walked up to him. “Mr.Maler, when exactly did you speak with her?” “This morning, we discussed dinner and what she wanted to eat and she said she’d be home around six,” my heart started beating erratically but I didn’t want to break in front of him “Why…why do you ask?” He asked me and placed the cup down. “Cassy was talking on the phone with someone around five o’clock. She said that you invited her to dinner and then she left,” “No, no I talked to her this morning! Oh god….where is she?” His eyes held such pain and he rose to his feet.
