Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 88

CHAPTER 88. “Sending a bunch of big men with big muscles may work for you wolves but when it comes to a witch, it’s better to send someone with respect.” She said as she stood in front of Aiden. “You’re Liliana,” “And you must the Alpha,” she reached out her hand and Aiden shook it. Liliana’s eyes suddenly furrowed and she looked past him. She walked up the stairs and looked around the entrance. Her eyes were searching for something and it looked like they found it when a door opened up upstairs and a girl walked out. She was pulling down her dress and giggling as she pulled Edmund closer and pressed her body against his. He smirked and nibbled on her ear but then stopped. He froze in his spot and slowly turned his head. His eyes locked with Lilianas and started glowing. “Mate,” was the only word that left his l lips. The girl gasped and slapped him as she stormed off down the stairs and out of the house without making eye contact with anyone. Edmund was taking slow steps down the stairs and Liliana walked closer. She scoffed and nodded her head as he came to stand in front of her. “Great, my mate is the pack whore.” She said in disgust and Edmund rose a brow. “And brother.” He growled. d my mate is the witch bi*ch who hexed my “Guess we’re both out of luck,” she turned around with a sigh and looked at Aiden and Gabby. Edmund was clenching his jaw and staring down at her from behind. “Where is he?” She asked and let her arms swing freely. “You’re here to remove the hex?” “No, I’m here to bake cookies and pet your wolves,” she tarcastically remarked. The windows closed shut and darkness fell over all of us. Had I not been told what this meant I would’ve thought we were under attack but right on cue, the pack’s own witch walked inside with Aidens parents behind her. “Liliana,” she said.

“Tasha,” Tasha? The witch’s name was Tasha, that was new information. “You two know each other?” Aiden asked and looked confused between them.. “Liliana was my student for many years until she turned to the darkness,” Liliana smiled and nodded her head. “I see you’re still as grumpy as ever,” she said. “Why are you here?” Aiden asked again and stepped in front of Liliana. *Never mind that, where is he?” She asked. We walked down to the dungeon and opened up Noah’s cell. Cassy jumped up and looked at everyone. Her eyes landed on Liliana and began to glow as her wolf stepped forward. “You.” She growled and jumped at the witch who stood calmly and just watched. Aiden grabbed her shoulders and held her back. “She’s here to fix it, Cassy,” she calmed slightly but I could tell she still wanted the witch dead and I couldn’t blame her. Noah walked out of the cell and Liliana went up to him. 1/4 CHAPTER 88. y was ready as he just “Catch him,” she said and placed her hand on the side of his face. Nobody collapsed but Aiden and Nick were quick to catch him before he hit the concrete floor. “Thank you for the warning,” he seethed and glared at her. “Bring him to your office.” She walked out ahead of everyone else but I stayed back. I was too curious and patted the pack witch on her shoulder. She turned her head and waited for the door to close before she spoke. “What is it you want to know, dear?” She pulled out a wooden chair from the corner and sat down. “What happened between you and Liliana?” I asked her and leaned back against the bars. “She was my student for a long time and the most gifted one as well. You see, many years befe I came here I worked in my house their emotions and their powers and they all grew stronger, many with many young witches and

wizards. I taught them to control started their own schools of magic around the country. Liliana was not one of them, she started tapping into dark magic wanting to get stronger and more powerful. She started doing favors for werewolves, taking payment however she saw fit. I told her that if she wanted to stay she had to change her ways but she refused. I let her go and told her to leave, and never come back and she did. This is the first time since then that I have seen her.” “Are there other witches like her?” She stood up and smirked at me but I saw the twitch and darkness in her eyes. “There are no witches like her, dear,” Noah was sitting on the armchair in the office Liliana raised her hand and a fire started roaring to life in the fireplace. He leaned back and she placed her hands on either side of his head. Her eyes glimmered as she glanced at Aiden. “We’ll talk about my payment after I suppose.” She said with a smick and turned her gaze back to Noah. “Don’t interfere, whatever happens.” She said and closed her eyes. The fire behind them grew twice the size and started moving out of the fireplace. Everyone backed away and just looked at what was happening. Noah’s eyes rolled back into his head and only the white of his eyes showed. Gabby’s breathing rapidly sped up and I could tell that she and her brothers were worried. “Will this hurt him?” Nick asked and clenched his jaw. “Are you asking me if messing with someone’s brain and memories can hurt them?” She asked without diverting her eyes. Noah’s nails dug into the armrests and he was clenching his teeth together. A loud scream echoed in the office and it sounded like he was being tortured. When Liliana stepped back, she looked intensely at Noah’s every littlest movement. He closed his eyes and panted heavily, sweat dripped down his face and his hands relaxed. “How is he?” Gabby asked and stepped closer but Edmund and Nick blocked her way. They walked up to their brother, wanting to make sure it was really him before they allowed Gabby anyway near

him. “Noah?” “Brother?” Noah h didn’t open his eyes nor did he speak “I swear by the goddess that if you’ve killed him-” Edmund growled and got up in Liliana’s face. “Ye a little faith, he’s fine. He’s just being dramatic, seems it runs in the family,” she said in a monotone voice and scanned Edmund from top to toe. “Yeah, I’m…I’m fine,” they looked at Noah who spoke and he slowly fluttered his eyes open. Gabby pushed past her brothers and jumped into his arms. We all looked warily at them for a moment to see any sign of hostility 2/4 CHAPTER 88. but were able to relax when Noah chuckled and wrapped his arms a “Hey, sis,” he sat up and looked into her eyes. around her. “I’m so sorry, I remember all of it…I’m so sorry I couldn’t remember you,” he said. She licked her lips and nodded her head before “Do you remember someone else?” She asked softly in a whisper. looking behind the rest of us. He slowly turned his head and scanned over everyone and then his eyes landed on her. He pushed himself up from the armchair and ran over to Cassy, picked her up, and kissed her. “I’m so o f*cking sorry,” he said as he pressed his face into the crock of her neck. “I’m just happy you’re okay.” themselves, for some reason, Everyone was rejoicing in having Noah back and the sight of everyone so happy and beyond caused a pit to grow in my stomach. It felt like I was watching from behind a window looking in at a loving happy family. Aiden and Noah shook hands and hugged. Noah’s arm was constantly around Cassy’s waist and he only let go to hug Gabby three more times and apologize. Edmund was

gleaming at the sight of his brother and Nick was in the middle of them all. The voices were closing out and I felt like I was drifting away, further and further away. It only broke when I heard Nick’s voice and saw him standing in front of me with a quizzical look on his face. “Are you alright?” He asked and cupped my cheek with his hand. I couldn’t deny the chemistry, the bond, and the feeling of his skin against mine. It wasn’t like anything I had ever felt, I knew it wouldn’t be, being with your mate was different but I felt so bad for the choice I had made. d up to us. “And all is well in the end. Now let’s talk payment,” “1” Before I could finish speaking, Liliana raised her hands and walked up she said. “How much do you want?” Alden asked her. “Oh no, what I want is the real question.” She smiled and almost everybody y tensed, except for Aiden och Nick. nt?” She turned her eyes and smirked. “What do you want?” “I’ll let you know when I think of it. Something equal to saving your mate’s brother, it’s gonna be steep,” she said and walked past him, brushing her shoulder against his on her way out. “What the hell happened to me?” Noah asked after the door closed “It was Sam, she had Liliana put a hex on you to make you forget Gabby and your mate.” Sam’s infatuation with Aiden had not only nearly ruined a family but it got her killed. How could a person be so in love that they would be driven to make such awful decisions? And to someone who’s not even their mate. It was baffling to me and truthfully, it scared me to think that I could fall so heavily for Nick that I might be in her shoes one day. That deep, unforgiving type of love that messes with your head. “What are you thinking about?” He asked and looked at me. “Oh, nothing.”1 shook my head and smiled at him. I was in my room, packing away the little things I had and leaving behind everything that I had gotten from Gabby. She bought me a whole new wardrobe and other essentials without asking, but I

couldn’t bring them with me. Not only did I feel like I didn’t deserve it but I felt like I didn’t deserve them. They had formed a bond, all of them and I was just imposing myself into something that wasn’t mine to have . 1 zipped up the bag and took a deep breath as I looked around the room. To think that this could we been my home, that I could’ve grown up with a brother and be a part of the love they share for each other. I closed my eyes and inhaled once again. 3/4 CHAPTER 88. “Are you really doing this? To have my wolf back center and my heart. as the best gift could ve ever gotten.
