Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella) novel Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11
“What time are you boys leaving tomorrow?” Cameron asked and looked between the three guys.
“We’re meeting here at three and then we’ll head into town at like nine or so,” Cole said and looked at Aiden for approval.
Meet here, all of them, in this house. It wasn’t big enough for me to disappear and there was no way that I was staying in the room knowing that Aiden could come there with Sm.
“Gabby, are you sure you don’t want to come?” Bob asked and look genuine in his question. He didn’t mean anything bad by asking that question and for all I knew he had no clue about anything that was going on behind the scenes.
“No that’s okay, I’ll stay here and get a feel of the place. Plus Marie ha: said and smiled.

down.
I pushed back the chair and stood up Marie’s voice made me stop.
“Gabriella, I’d like to talk to you a little if that’s okay” she said and I internally groaned as I sat back
“Of course,” I said. Aiden stopped and turned around, his eyes went between me and his mother but
she didn’t start speaking.
“You were about to leave, honey,” she said and Aidens eyes landed on me, a silent warning passing in them about the conversation we’d had earlier.
He didn’t want me to slip up.
He walked out and it was only me and Marie left. Cameron had given her a kiss and said he had some last-minute calls to make and they’d meet in the bedroom. Their relationship was lovely. It was warm, loving, affectionate, and respectful, unlike my parents which was the only relationship I could compare with.”
“It’s nothing serious, I just wanted to know what your first day in your new home was like,” she said calmly.
My new home, sure as hell didn’t feel like it. It was cold and controlled, so I guess technically it did feel like my home.

CHAPTER 11
“It’s been good: I went shopping, had some food, and then went for a coffee in town,” Her eyes lit up and the sides of her mouth lifted in an ear-to-ear smile.
“That makes so me glad to hear. Have you made any friends?” I don’t know.
“I met a girl from the pack at the mall and we hit it off pretty well,” I said jokingly.
“Ca*sandra, do you know her?” I asked. Something flashed in her eyes but it was gone just as quickly.
“All I know of her is that that girl hasn’t had it easy Marie said and her smile turned down.
“How so?” I asked carefully. Marie seemed torn between telling or no
“I heard she had been friends with Sam and the others,” Marie nodded her head to my statement.
“When they were younger, yes. Cas*andra’s heart is far too pure to be dealing with people like Sam. She’s been alone for many years as far I know, never really let anyone in,” M e released a breath and the heaviness that had fallen over us lifted as she smiled and looked excitedly at me.
“Was she who you went shopping with?” No.
“We met there and then she bought food and when we came back to to we got coffee,” technically not a lie. That’s exactly what happened.
“I’m glad you had a good day and if there is ever a problem, with anyone, I want you to tell me,” she said and looked deep into my eyes.
I knew what she was getting at, there were a lot of people who didn’t want me here just as badly as I didn’t want to be here. Marie was just trying to be nice but I had gotten used to handling problems on my own a
and that’s what I would continue doing. It’s easier that way and less drama.

My bag had been placed in the corner and when brought it out it was unusually light to carry. I opened it up and saw that all of my things were gone.
“What the hell,” I breathed and got up from the floor.
“They’re in the closet,” I looked up and did a double take as Aiden walked out from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his lower body.
He walked to the closet and pulled out clothes and I couldn’t for the life of me remove my eyes from his back. As he moved his arms, every muscle budged and flexed. Pearls of water slid down his back and my lips parted.
He turned around and my eyes were still on his body only now I saw his torso. His muscles flexed and his abs contracted as he raised his arms to the sides.

CHAPTER 11
“How long would you like me to stand like this for? My eyes fluttered and I was back to reality.
“Sorry,” I said and looked away. I licked my lips and cursed myself internally for getting caught looking
at him.
“Where are my clothes?” I asked.
“Right here.” He said and stepped to the side. He pulled open the door next to him and I saw all of my clothes hanging and folded in neatly.
I walked over to him but he hadn’t moved enough for me to get to my othes without moving in on
him.
“Could you please move,” I said and kept a safe distance..
Aiden didn’t answer, his eyes lingered on mine as he straightened his
k and cemented himself to
the floor.
I rolled my eyes and walked closer, I reached in my hand and grabbed air of shorts. The matching top was further in but if I walked in closer I would be pressing up against him.
“Why are you so shy?”
“I’m not shy,” I snapped and took back my arm.
“Lies.” He said and narrowed his eyes.
“I’m not lying,”
“So grab your clothes,” I dug my fingers into the fabric of the shorts I was holding and squeezed
tightly.
I gave in and averted my eyes from his, looking at his shoulder as I reached in for my top. Aidens hand gripped my waist and I tried moving back but I couldn’t.
He pulled me in closer.
“I’m just helping you,” he said quietly as my front pressed up against his.
I grabbed my shirt and quickly pulled my arm back but Aidens grip tightened.
“I have it,” I said breathlessly.
My head turned an inch and I looked down at his chest before tilting my head back and looking up at Aiden.
“You don’t have to feel bad for wanting something, we all have urges,” He said and he seemed honest.
“I-I don’t-”

“You do,” He said as his other hand came up and caressed my cheek. His fingers slid back and tangled in my hair.
“And there is no shame in acting on them.” He said and leaned his face down. His lips were hovering over mine, the minty fresh smell of his breath fanned against my face and his fingers dug in harder on my
waist.
He pulled me closer, pressing his body harder onto mine and I was starting to feel the pleasure with which he spoke.
“Aiden,” I said quietly as my eyes lingered on his lips.
He grabbed a hold of my hair and pressed his forehead against mine.
“Tell me what you want,” he whispered.
“I-,” I opened my eyes, my voice was breathlessly low and my breast p every hard breath I took.

I pushed away from Aiden and brought my fingers up to my dry lips. I held my clothes tight against my chest and Aiden clenched his jaw, his eyes turned dark, and he turned around hastily and walked to the door. He pulled the door open harshly and I hurried into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.

“What?” He asked roughly and I heard Cole’s amused voice from the hallway.
“F*ck,” I cursed and looked and leaned back against the door.
I turned on the shower and locked the door before stripping off my clothes. Their voices were muffled by the water and I took a few deep breaths to regain my composure.
Get your head straight, Gabby. He was a controlling, possessive, and arrogant monster. I reached down my fingers and felt the wetness between my legs. His body came into view in my mind and I had felt him, all of him.
Shit…

CHAPTER 12
I got in the shower and sunk down on the floor, letting the beams of the water hit me all over my body.
I turned of the nussel and got out after thirty minutes or so and dried myself of before putting on my
pyjamas.
I asumed Alden had left with Cole so I was surprised when I saw him laying in bed on top of the covers. He was wearing nothing but shorts. One of his arms was placed hind his head and the other rested on his stomach with his phone in hand.
He opened one eye and peaked at me. His eye went down my bare legs before he closed them again. I walked around the bed and pulled the covers as I crawled down. I turned my back against him and with wide opened eyes I stared at the wall.
How did I look at him after what happened and would it happen again about it. I always said that I would save myself for my mate and that hadn’t given the fact that I had been married of to a stranger, I didn’t know what to

What happened to love and the mate bond that people couldn’t shut up about. The one thing we all strive to find one day. This wasn’t it, this was not the fairytale that I had been promised.
My eyes shut closed and then opened again after a few seconds. I couldn’t sleep, there were to many thoughts spinning around in my head and I wasn’t comfortable in this position. I wanted to drag the cover and hug it but when I tried and pull it, it didn’t move.
I pulled again and groaned when he wasn’t lifting so that I could

“What?”
“I can’t pull the cover.” I said in an annoyed tone.
pull it around me.
“I know,” his eyes were still closed. The phone in his hand rang and he had it by his ear right away. His eyes opened, he side-eyed me and sat up.
“Coming.” He said and got up from the bed. He opened the door and then he was gone. I let out at breath of relief and pulled the cover tightly around my body.
When he wasn’t here I suddenly relaxed and my thoughts became a distant memory, thank goodness.
I woke up in panic and leaned up in the bed when the door slammed shut to the room. Aiden stepped in, his nostrils were flaring and he was looking out the window. He paced around the room for a few seconds and then slammed his fist into the wall.
