Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 82

CHAPTER 82. Aiden who was sitting up slowly looked at her with an equally surprised expression and I his father walked around the couch. The witch was still smiling from her seat at the table. Just as Aiden’s father was about to step closer, Marie reached out her hand and stopped him. “It’s nice to meet you too, sweetheart. Welcome,” she said and left it there but her eyes didn’t leave Erins. Erin smiled and nodded her head. Nick tried to grab her hand but the pulled it away and cupped them in front of her. His brows hunched down and he looked at me. “Nick, come with me,” I said and grabbed his hand as we walked out of the house. “You have to be careful with her and go slow. She has lost everyone she’s ever known and endured actual hell in Asher’s pack.” “How can I help her?” “You can’t, you can just help her help herself. By letting her sit with it and talk about it and just listen to her and her needs. Whatever they might be.” I said and felt my heart sink. I wanted my brother to be happy but 1 also remember my conversation with Erin back at the house. “Alpha Aiden is your mate?” She asked me with a grin. “Yes, it’s a long and tragic and incredibly weird story but the short answer is yes. “I grabbed her hand and smiled. “Have you met yours?” I immediately regretted my question and hoped the answer would be no. Seeing as if she had met her mate back at her pack, he’d be dead. “No and I hope I never do,” I looked at her in confusion. “Why?” Because look at me-” she said and laughed. *-I’m a se* slave, who could ever love a girl like me when I don’t even love myself? Whoever he is, he’s better off taking someone else to be his mate or his girlfriend. Not everyone meets their mate

and hopefully, mine never meets me. I’m too broken, I’d only break him too,” Me and Nick walked back inside and the other girls had been shown to their rooms “What’s that?” I heard Marie ask Erin when we stepped into the room. She grabbed the pendant that hung around her neck and smiled fondly. “It’s the only memory I have left from my pack. It’s a necklace, my mother said that I had it when they found me. I have worn it wvery day but hid at when everything happened. Only today did I dare dg it up again right before Gabby grabbed us and we lett,” she suid “When they found you? Marie asked with a strained smile 1/5 CHAPTER 82. “I’m adopted. My birth parents gave me up but I grew up in a loving family.” Her breath hitched and “I’m going to go make some tea,” she said and smiled but I saw the tears brimming in her eyes, I was about to go after her when Aiden grabbed my hand. backed away. “Let’s go wash off,” he said and I looked after Marie but nodded my head and walked with him. his touch ignited the heat in my body ecstatic to finally be back with her mate. and my wolf was purring in the back of my mind. She was Aiden got out of the shower as I was drying off. His wounds were healing and so were the few ones I had gotten as well. “What happened to your mom earlier? She looked upset,” Aiden slumped down on the bed and ossed the towel beside him. He grabbed my hand and yanked me down on top of him.. “Something has come to light.” He said and piquing my interest “What is it?” “I apparently have a sister,” I was flabbergasted and couldn’t speak “They thought she was dead and mom was pregnant with me at the time so she decided not to mention it after I was born. Apparently, when she was three she wandered off and they found a blood trail but no body. And then the witch confirmed it yesterday that she was alive.”

“Well…I mean… where is she?” 1 stammered. He licked his lips a and placed my hair behind my car “She was with you, that’s why you felt the need to go because your faith pulled you to her,” I didn’t speak, I couldn’t, there was nothing I could say. “It’s Erin, Gabby,” I felt a chill run down my spine and expand throughout my whole body. I tried to stand up but Aiden held my put. He wrapped his arms around my back and leaned his head against my chest. I gently stroked his hair and thought about what he had just told me. “Erin is the daughter your parents taught was dead?” I asked. “Yes,” “And now she’s here,” “Yes,” “And she’s Nick’s mate,” “Yes,” “Holy shit,” “Yeah.” I pulled his head back and stared into his green eyes “We’ll figure this out,” I said and kissed him softly. -Erin’s POV 2/5 CHAPTER 82. As soon as we reached the house I knew I couldn’t stay. I wasn’t adapted to this type of living and I years, I had lived as a s*x slave and not adapted to having a mate I was meant to adjust to this . Those luxuries just weren’t for me to reap. For the past four normal way of life. I couldn’t do that. My pack was gone, my family was dead, and I was all alone, and no mate or new pack or a new

home could ever fill the void of everything I had lost. Alden’s mom seemed intrigued by me but I’m sure she was just being kind. She ran into the kitchen with tears in her eyes and I was worried I had said something wrong. “Are you okay to sleep with Nick or would you like your own room Aidens father, Clark, asked me. “Oh, uhm,” I looked at Nick and knew he’d rather I slept with him knew men, he wanted to mate and mark me and then that would be it. “Is there a room available close to mine?” He asked before I answered. The confusion I felt was immense. “I’ll make sure there is,” he said and smiled. Nick smiled at me and his hand rested on the small of my back but I could tell that we were both uncomfortable with the closeness. Op maybe only I was and that in turn made him uncomfortable. Marie came back with tea and cups on a tray and placed them down. She turned to me and smiled a little unsteadily as she clasped her bands in front of her. She had such poise and beauty. *Would you like me to show you around the house?” She asked but I was exhausted. “Maybe tomorrow?” I asked and she nodded her head. “Of course, go off to bed you two, you must be exhausted.” Nick walked me to my room and we stood there for a silent minute. “Why did you want me to have my own room?” I asked him. Because I don’t want you to do anything you’re not ready for,” he said and gazed into my eyes. “Thank you,” I was about to walk in when he grabbed my arm. “We’ll take it slow but I would like to get to know you. If you’d be okay with that,” his brows were hunched and I could tell he was nervous. I leaned up and placed a peck on his cheek. “I would like that too,” I said and walked into the room, closed the door, and leaned against it as I

sunk to the floor. Nick seemed so sweet and I didn’t want to hurt him but I knew that the chances of him getting hurt were high. Because I was already thinking of where I would go when morning came The sun rose and lit up the room. This was the best night’s sleep I forever and my body was getting back to its normal state. It would still hurt and I wasn’t sore which was a new feeling. I had slept all day and all night had in years. I woke up feeling rested for the first time in take time for all the wolfsbane to leave my system but I didn’t basically twenty-four hours. There was a knock on my door and Gabby stuck her head in. Seeing that girl’s face just made me so happy. “How’d you sleep?” She asked as she came in. 3/5 CHAPTER 82. “So *cking good,” I said and laughed. Breakfast is ready downstairs,” dread filled me and I got nervous at the thought of seeing ever down there. Especially Nick. “Did everyone sleep for twenty-four hours?” I asked her with raised brows. “No, some did but everyone slept for a long time. We all needed to heal after the fight but it’s good you slept that long. Your body clearly needed it. So how about breakfast?” “I’m not really hungry,” “It’s okay to be nervous but you dont have to hide anymore. You’re free, free to do whatever you want and whatever your heart. desires,” she said sounding sad and I could see the underlying meaning in her eyes. We walked into the dining hall and everyone was seated but the ones at the main table turned their heads and watched me warily as I stepped in. The girls were there as well and I was happy to see them doing good. They got up and we hugged. All of the girls had borrowed clothes and were washed and cleaned. God, I had missed them. These were the last few people left from our pack.

“How is everyone this morning? Marie asked when I sat down. “I’m feeling great,” I said and smiled. “So do we.” the girls said “You’re staying too right?” Mazy asked me. “Are you?” I asked her and looked between all of them. “Yes, Marie and Clark offered us housing and to stay here as part of the pack. Permanently,” “That was very kind of them.” I said and smiled at the former Alpha couple. “You’re of course very welcome to stay as well,” Marie said eagerly. “Thank you,” “So will you?” Mary asked and looked at me expectantly. Nick was sitting right beside me and I tensed. *She doesn’t have to make up her mind right now, it’ll take time to figure out what you want,” Who the hell was this man? He was so kind-hearted and understanding it hurt so much because I didn’t want to ruin that. I nodded my head and drank the coffee. After breakfast, Marie insisted to show me around the house and so we walked away from the others and started at the top floor. She showed me the various rooms and utility places as well as the library. As we walked down she said there was one last room she wanted to show me before we continued to the bottom floors other spaces. This house was gigantic. We walked into her ateljé with beautiful paintings hanging on the walls and all different colors were placed in a rainbow on the shelves. Others stood randomly on tables and chairs and you could tell this was an artists haven. She stood by the door and urged me to look around. I started looking at the paintings that were stacked against the wall and one by one I graced my wyes over them until one made me hitch my breath and my eyes stopped. 1 graced my eyes over the painting of a young child, a little gul with light hair who was smiling but she was wearing something around her neck that caught my eye even more. I raised my hand and held the pendant between my fingers. The little girl was wearing Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
