Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 33

CHAPTER 33. -Gabby’s POV- I was in the coffee shop and had arrived one hour early before opening to get aquatinted with the place. I assumed the owner would bolt as he had last time and I was right. The second he saw me, he walked into the back to finish up some paperwork and then he left. I watched YouTube tutorials on on my phone on how to make coffee and luckily I only had about six customers the first few hours. “Hey, there,” Easton stepped inside and leaned on the counter. The night I had slept over at his place went fine. We slept in separate rooms and the day after he helped me call the landlord and get the lock fixed so I was now back home which felt even better. There was a mysterious cloud clinging to his body. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I felt it when I slept there as well. There were no pictures of anyone in his apartment and there were no plants, no tv, nothing really that signified a home. But then again, I had to remind myself that not everyone was caught up on material possessions. “Hi,” i said and grabbed a cup, pouring him his black coffee. “Excuse me, I asked for a latte and this is a cappuccino,” One customer said as he came up to the counter. He looked warily at me, he didn’t want to sound rude which he didn’t. He had a soft reasuring smile on his face. “I’m so sorry.” I said and grabbed the cup. I stared looking around for the binder and heard a chuckle behind me. “Take a breath, I’ll teach you,” Easton said. “Yeah, it’s no stress at all, take your time!” The guy said and smiled and then walked over to his seat. Easton grabbed my hand and guided it. He poured the coffee inte the machine, then the milk and steamed it and explained every step as he did it. We poured everything into a to-go cup -You NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

did great!” Easton said and smiled. and he called on the customer, handing him the coffee. I still felt his touch on my hand and there was a flutter in my heart but tell me why it still felt so wrong. Something was off, like I was hung up on something else. It couldn’t be Aiden, could it? No, not after what he did, why would I possibly be hung up on him? “Are you busy tonight?” He asked me. “No.” “Good, we’re having movie night, you told me you haven’t seen a bunch of the old classics I named, we’re watching all of them.” I laughed and smiled from ear to ear. “Sounds great,” We were back in my apartment seeing as he didn’t have a TV. East ordered food and lit up candles in the room as he put in the first movie. My phone rang and I saw Edmunds name on the screen. “Hey!” 1/4 CHAPTER 33. “Hi, sis, how’s the new life treating you?” He asked and I could hear him smiling on the other line. amazing, I got the job in the cafe and I made a friend,” I said and looked over my shoulder. Easton was occupyied with trying to get the movie to show on the screen. “That’s great! What’s her name?” I winced. “His name is Easton,” I said. “Easton?” “Yeah, Easton King,” the line went silent and I pulled the phone away to see if the call had disconnected but it hadn’t. “Hello?” “Yeah, I’m here, Gabby, there is no ”

“Oh shit!” He yelled behind me and I saw a candle in the window setting the drape on fire. My eyes widened and I felt the heat filling the appartment. “Oh my god, Edmund I’ll call you back, gotta go but I love you!” I hung up and ran over to grab the fire extinguisher. We sprayed the drape and then stood still in shock looking at the half of the drape that was left. “Well…f*ck,” He said and I laughed. I was about to call Edmund back when I heard the movie starting to play. “Come on it’s starting!” He said giddily. I placed the phone down, I just call him back later. I sat down on the couch and Eastons arm was on the headrest behind me.⠀⠀ I leaned back, pulled my legs up and we started watching the movie. – Aiden’s POV- “What do you mean you don’t know where they are? They are your sons!” “Alpha, the boys have been gone for days. We don’t keep track on their every move,” “You did with Gabby,” I seethed. “Yes well that’s different, you can’t expect girls to be as reckless as boys, they must set an example,” her mother siad. “I swear to god, Aiden, hang up the f*cking phone before I loose it. My mom said calmly but her eyes were staring dagger at me and it looked like balls of fire were about to start shooting out of them. 1 hung up and placed it down. 1 leaned my palms on the desk and the witch was here again today. She sat across from me with her head east-down. Cassidy had slept in one of the guest rooms, after yesterdays events she got even more worried about Gabby and was now fully onboard. “Alpha Aiden,” the witch said and rose her head. She went quiet for a few seconds as her eyes focused on mine. Her lips parted and 2/4 CHAPTER 33. very slowly she turned her head to the door. Her eyes shifted back on me.

“They are here.” She said. of the stairs. We walked out of the house and stood on top of They came up from the park, all three of them beside each other and by the looks of it, they wouldn’t mind starting a war right this. second. I couldn’t let that happen or I’d never get Gabriella back here. Her brothers were her entire world. The warriors walked up behind them but as they got closer I waved them away. I had let everyone know not to let them pass the border without escorting them after what happened when they were here last time. “Aiden,” the oldest one, Nick, said and walked to the front of the stairs. “I’ve been trying to get in touch w with you,” I said and rolled back my shoulders. “Yes we know, we’ve been ignoring you,” Edmund said. That young dude had an attitude that I recognized. It had been me not many years ago. “Why the sudden change of tactics?” I asked them. Edmund looked down at the ground, Noah clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes and Nick stepped up on the stairs. “Becuase Gabby’s in danger and we think you might know a thing or two about the danger she’s with,” My heart stopped for a second. My palms grew sweaty and I heard Ca*sy’s shape instake of ai beside me. We were in my office, of us, it was gettin getting cramped but as long as everyone stayed calm, there would be no fatalities. Press a group of angry werewolves into one space and it usually didnt end, well. “What have you found out?” out?” I asked.

“That their paths have now crossed,” the witch answered in her raspy voice causing everyone to shift their attention to her. “What?” Edmund asked and furrowed his brows. “Ignore her, no offense. Tell me what you know,” I said. “I called her yesterday to check in on her. She sounded geniuenly happy having created a life that she chose for herself. One where she’s not controlled or played on like a f*cking game of chess,” Edmund spat and his anger rose. I nodded my head and looked down at the desk. When I looked back up at him, I stayed silent. They didn’t care about anything they said right now, respect and rank had been tossed out the window and I understood why, so I let it slide. I was just shocked they hadn’t jumped on me yet. “Reign it in, Edmund,” Nick said and stepped to the front. “She said she’d made a friend and she sounded all giddy about it. A guy named Easton King. We did a thorough rake of everyone living in that town before we moved her there, making sure to have all the names and information about every single citizen. Nowhere in our search did an Easton King ever show up. Because there is no Easton King living in that town, at least not before she moved there. Then it hit me, he might’ve changed his first name but he kept the family name. So, Alden King, what the f*ck is your brother doing around our sister?” He asked and his eyes started glowing yellow, Shit. 3/4 Alpha’s Betted Bride
