Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 22

CHAPTER 22 The tension in the room was rising. Not just from Clark, Aidens father, but also Marie and Aiden himself. They were all watching my parents, straightening their backs and readying themselves. “What did you say?” My dad asked and stood straight. Clark was bigger, broader shoulders and form but my dad was an a*shole with a big ego so he wouldn’t back down. “I said-” Clark said and stepped around the table, got up closer to my father and stared him dead in the eye. “-It’s time for you to leave. Gabriella is now a part of our family and our pack. She is this packs Luna and nobody, reagideless of whether or not they are blood, will treat her with disrespect. Therefor, I’m asking you kindly, to leave.” My mother slowly stood from her seat and took a stance next to my dad. 71 think maybe we’ve taken a bad turn here, why don’t we speak with Gabby in private and afterwards we will be on our way home,” Mom said and placed her hand on dads arm. They turned their heads and looked at me. Me and my father were in Aiden’s office. The door closed and he was heaving. My mom was staying in the dining room, talking with the others and probably smoothing everything over with some nice, comforting lies. “How dare you embarrass us like that!” He whisper shouted and came to stand in front of me. I backed up but hit the desk. My hand began shaking but was doing everything I could to stand strong in my spot. “I think you did most of the work, father,” “You will not disrespect us like this again. You will go out there and tell them how you lied everything up or I swear to god-” “What?” I asked and stepped forward. “Is this what we came here for? Too meet our ungrateful daughter?” “I didn’t even want you to come!” His hand came down on my cheek and the stinging pain was

much worse than the slam my body took as I hit the floor. “Why don’t you break out the belt too while you’re at it,” I seethed as I got back up with my hand covering my cheek. My father dragged his hand over his face and looked nervously around the room. He should be O 1/4 GND. CHAPTER 22 nervous, he just hit the Luna of the pack he was currently in. It didn’t matter wether or not we were related, it would go over well with anyone. 1 removed my hand and he looked at my cheek. “You better obey your husband better then you do your parents. This deal has been made and to nothing you can do to back out from it. With this alliance we are powerful and stronger than ever and yo will not ruin it.” We walked back out, I held my hands down and looked quickly in the passing mirror to see so my cheek wasn’t red but it was. I turned around and walked up the stairs, hurrying to the room to apply some makeup over it. The door to the room opened up just as I was done in the bathroom and put my makeup away. “Gabby?” Aiden asked and stepped inside. I closed the drawer and walked out, nearly walking into him. as I exited. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “You tell me. You just ran off,” he said and his eyes glanced down to my cheek with something weird swirling in them. “Sorry, I just had to use the bathroom,” I walked around him and back downstairs. My parents were getting in the car and I stood by the door to the house. They threw me a last glance and smiled brightly as they got in and left. Hopefully I wouldn’t have

too see them for a long time. Or preferably ever. off. “I’m sorry-” I felt Aidens hand on my shoulder as he spoke and I quickly turned around and slapped it “You told them too come sooner. I asked you to keep them away and instead you did the opposite. For a second there I actually believed you were about to do something nice but don’t worry, it won’t happen again. So save your apologies,” I walked into the house, Cassy followed me and we went down into the gaming room. “Ugh, f*ck!” I screamed and punched against the wall. Cassy slumped down on the couch with a soda in her hand and munched on popcorn. “So those are you parents, huh. Explains a lot,” I turned and looked at her beffudledly. “What exactly does it explain?” I asked and crossed my arms over my chest. “The trust issues, how you think love can only be shown through the exchange of money, your inability to let anyone close and that thick armor you have across your whole body,” No candor. T 2/4 GND. CHAPTER 22 The door opened up and a much too angry Alpha stepped inside. His anger only spurred my own and I was steaming as I looked him dead in the eyes. It rose to a point where I hoped I still had control. I wanted him to leave, to leave me alone and just disappear. Just because we were married didn’t mean we ha spend time together nor that he had to come and impose on things that he no business in. Like my parents for example. Was he the reason why my brothers weren’t here? Was he the one who had told my parents no bring them? “What do you want?” I seethed. “Don’t talk to me like that. Cassandra, leave us.” She looked between me and Aiden. She wanted to

stay but he was her Alpha and she couldn’t disobey orders. “She’s not going anywhere.” “That’s not your decision to make.” He said with his chest rising and falling hard. “I am this packs Luna which means I carry every ounce of authority that you do.” “LEAVE, that is an order.” He growled and looked at her. This jackass was getting on my last nerve “Gabby-” she said softly. “It’s fine, we’ll both go.” I said and walked around him. Cassandra was by the door when he grabbed my arm och pulled me close. His eyes burnt with a fierce fire as he glared down at me.. “Casandra, leave us.” I nodded my head and she closed the door. “What did I say about you defying me?” I was sick of men asking me to submit. “What you said and what I heard are two very different things. I am not your slave or your dog, I am your equal and you better start acting like it.” He straightened his back and clenched his jaw. “You have a real big attitude, little girl,” He was one year older than me and I’m the little girl? “Aiden, you can’t-” “I can do whatever the f*ck I want-” he said. His voice suddenly lowering and bcoming dangerously calm. “-Not only are you the Luna but you are first and foremost my wife. I own you, Gabby and you better start learning your place.” “Or what?” I asked and turned my whole body so that I faced him. ||| 3/4 GND. CHAPTER 22 He was just about to speak when his eyes flickered to my cheek. “What’s that?” He asked. “What’s what?” “Your cheek, it’s red, why?” Did the makeup not cover it?

How could it still be there and not have healed yet? 50% “Blush,” I said in a monotone voice. He growled and stepped closer, grabbing my wrist as I tried to back away and he grabbed my chin, pressing his thumb against the very spot where my father had hit me. I winced and my head jerked away from his hand. 「 4/4 Alpha’s Betted BrideThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
