Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 52

CHAPTER 52. -Gabby’s POV- We saw the fog from the windows. The branches of the trees were singing in the winds and water trails went down the glass. My mother was watching me, as was my father. After she had said those words I completely lost my ability to speak. Cassy had said this when we were with the witch. She said that they would come and take me back. I swore that I wouldn’t let that happen but I needed to regain my voice and my strength. I still felt broken and so scared. “Perhaps that is not her wish anymore,” Marie said and stared daggers at my mother. I knew that the niceties were all gone and people’s true colors were about to come out. It was about to get ugly. “Gabriella?” M Marie said and 1 shook my head. “No,” I squealed, hoping it would’ve sounded stronger. My mother tilted her head to the side and smiled. “But you will. You will get reacquainted with everything and every one and you will feel at h “I never felt at home even once whilst living there,” I said. My body was shaking. home again,” “Gabby, we are your family.” My father said and narrowed his eyes. My family? The ones who whipped me from when I was a five- year-old child, beat me into obedience, and filled me with poison to make me some kind of a chemical weapon they could use when they needed it. “You never cared about me,” I said and nodded my head. “You only ever cared about yourselves and power and money. I could’ve died and you wouldn’t have batted an eyelash. You would’ve sired another daughter to do your bidding.” “Maybe we would’ve done it right a second time,” my father said and laughed. My mother laughed with him.

“You are coming home with us, the decision is t “Is it not?” I asked and sat up straighter. yours to make.” “I am married to the most powerful Alpha in this country. I am the Luna of a pack who has accepted me as such. My life is entwined with his, the decision of whether I leave or stay, ultimately, befalls on the Alpha.” My mom clenched her jaw and looked more and more unpleased by the situation they had gotten themselves into. o your “Gabriella, we miss you, we are your family and you belong with us. We promise you that the next time you marry, it will be to mate.” My father said and looked at me sternly. Neither of them knew that I already was. I was married to my mate. There was a warning in his eyes that he wanted me to see and understand and I did, I saw it but the world would burn to ashes before the day came that I once again obeyed him. “Father, you are speaking to the wrong person.” He grunted and bared his teeth before turning his head and facing Aiden. “Alpha, we were too quick in handing our daughter over to you and now we ask for the chance to correct our juistake,” 1/3 CHAPTER 52. “I don’t believe you.” Aiderf said in a monotone voice. My father squirmed in his chair and then scoffed. He rested his arms on the table and nodded his thick head. “What do you believe then?” “I believe you have an ulterior motive for bringing Gabriella back with you,” My mother looked at Aiden and started laughing subtly. “And why is that?” “Because your daughter asked not to be married, you overlooked her wish and sent her to me. She asked not for you to visit again, but you came anyway. She asked not to go home and yet here you

are, bargaining with me for her retur.” His voice was so smooth, so confident. He knew he had them in his grip. “I am not bargaining, Alpha. I am telling you what will happen.” He seethed. I looked over and saw a smirk on Clark’s face. He was proud of his son for how he handled it all. And he also knew, perhaps even wanted, for my father to step over the line and threaten or try and harm the Alpha, they would take him down. Male’s eyes found mine and she tilted her head down slightly and offered me a small yet confidently brimming smile. My mother saw our little exchange and it looked like her face was set on fire. “This is no negotiation. We understand that you have treated her well, as well as could anyways but she will be leaving with us will her brothers. End of discussion.” My mother said. and so “I’m afraid we cannot allow that. You see, the pack is very fond of their Luna, and having her leave against her will would cause very much upset among the pack members…as well as the warriors who will do anything to get her back. Including but limited to stopping you at the border, by any means necessary.” Marie said. “And as far as her brothers are concerned, they have been of great help to the pack but mostly to Gabby. She suffered a row of traumatic events and I believe she would benefit from having them around.” My mother scoffed and nodded her head. “Oh yes, we heard about those much too unfortunate events.” She said and looked at me with a raised brow. She didn’t give a single f*ck that her daughter was tortured and raped. Everyone was having a staring contest. Stiffly watching each other and if looks could kill, everyone in here would be dead. Me included. My father wanted me to lie down and roll over. He expected me to obey him.

The door to the dining room opened up and Mr.Maler came running inside. He barely balanced himself as he fell into the dining hall. Everyone’s heads snapped to him and his worried face. “Alpha, have you found her? Where is she?” He said and looked with such hope at Aiden. I had to look away, I averted my eyes and looked down at my plate. “Thomas,” Aiden said and stood up. He walked up to him and on the stride over, Mr. Maler already know the answer. “No, no…no,” He said and shook his head. it trust me, “Thomas, we will find her. The trace went cold and she wasn’t in the vicinity around the border or the towns close by but she will be found.” “It’s him, your brother, it’s Asher!” He said. 2/3 CHAPTER 52. “It’s not. I have contacted other packs and they have kept close tabs on Asher and his pack. Nobody has exited or entered the pack in days.” “Then where the hell is my daughter?!” He cried out. Hmm,” my veins froze to ice and my body turned to that of a tree. I slowly, shakily, turned my head and faced my mother. “Shame, she was a sweet girl. I saw the love between you two when we visited last.” She carved into her chicken and placed a piece in her mouth. “Where is she?” Aiden growled and turned to my She looked at me with a sickening smile, “You will return home with us, will you not?” Chapter Comments 31 mother.
