Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella) novel Chapter 91

CHAPTER 91.
-Gabby’s POV-
Liliana was sitting next to Edmund, the two seemed to have similar scowls on their faces. Neither
said a word, they just ate and completely ignored everyone, including each other. “How did you sleep?” I asked them and squirmed in
my seat.
Edmund looked up at me through hooded eyes and then back at his plate.
Fine, Lil
e.” Liliana said and offered at least a strained smile. She had more manners than my brother, who would’ve thought.
The stale tension only rose but I couldn’t be too upset about it. Every time I saw the heart-shaped ring on my finger a swarm of butterflies erupted in my stomach and I got all giddy.
Aiden saw where I was looking and grabbed my hand, he lifted it to his lips and placed at expressions. They looked just as happy as we were
kiss on it. I saw Marie’s and Clark’s pleased
But of course, I wanted to see all of my brothers happy as well. Noah was happy with Cassy and now Nick had Erin, that only left Edmund who was mated to the woman who put a hex on our brother.
“Hey, what’s up with you? Did anything happen between you and Liliana?” I asked when I caught up to him on his way out of the
house.
“She’s a bi*ch, Gabby, that’s all.” He said and shrugged off my arm
“Get back here!” He stopped and looked at me confusedly but did as I said nevertheless. “I haven’t heard that voice since we were kids.” He said and rose a brow.
“You do not get to shrug me off like that. I’m not one of your bimbos, I’m your sister and when you hurt I hurt too. So tell me what. the hell happened,”
He placed his hands in his pockets and hung his head.
e doesn’t like me because “We talked last night and all that happened was that we argued. I hate her for what she did to Noah and she I’ve slept my way through the pack.” He shrugged his shoulders as if to say that that was it but I didn’t buy it.
“What else happened, Edmund?” I asked him softly.
He sighed and chewed on his lips before looking back at me.
“She rejected me,” he said and tossed his arms in the air. Edmund stormed out of the house and I looked at his back as he rounded
the corner.
Oh no…
I felt a heat starting to rise and my hands began to shake as the anger swirled inside of me. I walked around the entire house until I found Liliana in the library.
“You rejected him?” I asked her and slammed the doors shut behind me.
She placed her book down and looked up at
me.
“Yes, why? Was it your lifelong dream to have a witch who tried to break your family as your sister-in-law?”

CHAPTER 91.
“Cut the crap. Why did you do it?” I asked her.
She shrugged her shoulders and looked nonchalantly at me which only made me thirst for her blood
even more.
“It’s for the best,” she said and stood up.
“How the hell is breaking my brothers heart for the best ?” She looked at me confusedly and she shook her head in disbelief.
“I put a hex on your brother, I aided in trying to break your family apart so that someone else could be with your mate. How could you possibly want him to be with me?”
I searched her eyes and stepped closer.
Because you came back and you fixed it. You didn’t want anything for it that was just for show so that we wouldn’t know that you had a heart. Because you saw a picture of Noah when you did the hex but he wasn’t alone on that picture, was he?” I asked and waited for an answer, Liliana lifted her head and pinched her lips together.
“Our wifch told me that you need a picture of the person you put a hex on or you need to meet them so Sam showed you a picture. A picture of him and Edmund, you saw your mate but you couldn’t unde the spell while she was alive because you had already taken
and then something from her as payment. You waited until she was dead and then showcased your power by taking down our warriors coming here yourself. Acting all careless when in actuality you couldn’t bring yourself to harm Edmund by allowing him to suffer for what you had done. I’ve been the outcast for all my life, surrounded by people who have taken me for granted but one thing you learn really well when
you’re sitting on the sidelines is reading people.” The windows opened up and a harsh wind blew in.

“Don’t believe you know everything, Gabriella. You’d be surprised at how much harm can befall oneself in the end.” She seethed and walked past me, she opened the doors with her magie and they slammed shut behind her.
-Edmund’s POV-
“Edmund, wait up!” I groaned when she came running up to me. She pulled her shirt down and twirled her hair between her fingers
“Do you wanna meet up later?” She cooed and slid her hand down my chest.
“No.” I removed her hand and kept walking. I had come back to the house to change clothes after I shifted on my earlier run. Now I just wanted to walk in peace and preferably get the hell out of this place.
“Where are you going?”
“The woods.”
“Great, I’ll with you and we can just do it there,” she purred and bit down on her bottom lip. I dragged my tongue over my lips and stopped. I turned and faced her, grabbing her shoulder and staring into her eyes to make it perfectly f*cking clear.
“It will not happen, not in the woods, not in a bed, not now, and not ever.” Her eyes fell and just as her lips parted for a reply she was pulled out of my arms and flung back on the ground. I looked in shock before turning my head and seeing Liliana on top of the stairs. I growled and clenched my jaw.
“Lialiana! You can’t use your magic on our pack members,” Cassy said as she came running down to help the girl, Melissa I believe her name was. It could’ve also been Melina, their names weren’t a priority when we were together
I walked to the stairs and pointed to the girl she has just pulled down on the ground.
“So this is how it’s gonna be? You don’t wanna be with me but I can’t be with anybody else either?” My voice was high and dark and 1 was doing everything in my power to control my anger.

CHAPTER 91.
She shrugged a shoulder and crossed her arms over her chest. I walked up the stairs and stood in front of her.
Aiden and Gabby came down the stairs and saw us standing there having a stare-down. “Is everything alright?” Aiden asked as he
walked over to us.
I scoffed and nodded my head.
“Everything’s fine.” I said and walked past them.
My H
hand slammed through the wall in my room and I seethed as I pulled it out and slammed it in again –
No matter how many holes I made in these f*cking walls it wouldnt calm me or my wolf.
from a cheesy chick flick movie but she seemed
Gabriella had told me about Aiden’s surprise proposal and it sounded like something fr really happy about it.
I was down in the private dining hall setting up. I placed those red f*cking roses and the dumb a*s candles around the room. Nobody told me how many times you burn yourself trying to light these f*cking things..
When I was done 1 looked around and groaned at what I had done. This would just come back to bite me in the as*.
The chef came out and placed the food on the table and then someone knocked on the door. I opened it up and saw Liliana standing on the other side.
looked at her it was nothing “You wanted to see me?” She asked and tilted her head back. No matter the pain I felt when I compared to the happiness that the bond was making me feel, and that hurt even more. Her eyes sparkled and I slid the door open.
but I saw how her chest rose when she drew a breath. Her eyes sparkled under the flames and her eyes
Liliana didn’t say anything b
went around the room.
“What is this?” She asked me and walked over to the table. I closed the door and locked it, placing the key in my shirt.
She rose a brow and smiled timidly.
“You know I can open it with magic, right?” I nodded my head and pulled out her chair. “I do but you won’t.”
“And why is that?”
“Please,” I said and nodded for the chair. This was all foreign land to me. I didn’t plan dates or fix a room with pretty little things, I took girls to my room and *ucked their brains out. My nerves were tangling together and I swallowed hard as I went to sit on my own
chair.
“Edmund I-”
“Don’t talk, please. I know what you think of me, that I’m just some guy who sleeps with every girl he meets-
“Aren’t you?
“I asked you not to talk. I am, or I was. Look, I never bothered with the whole sticking to one girl thing because I figured I’d do that when I met my mate but I never thought about how previous behavior would affect my future relationship. I’m not asking you to be with me forever, I’m just asking you to give me a chance to prove to you that I’m more than what you think,”
