Melissa (Gabriella's POV)

I sat still while they discussed what fate would befall me. Startled, when the man he called Kirk came to the gate with Frin. The alpha walked away, leaving those men with me, a huge aura pouring from Kirk’s body.

“You heard what he said,” Frin said as he entered the cell, jiggling keys following his hands as he walked to where they locked the chains.

“I’d prefer if she died than check for things that would say the same thing I’ve already said,” Kirk said as he leaned on the bars of my cell.

“You can only do as the Alpha said. You can’t take matters into your hands when he has decided something already,” Frin said as the chains clattered to the floor before he moved towards me, unlocking the chain and leaving the cuff on my wrist. Kirk scoffed as he opened the gate with Frin lifting me to my feet.

“You didn’t need to lie to him about remembering anything,” Lyra said as they led me out of the dungeon. Frin took the front while Kirk remained at the back. It c

  • An Alpha’s Loss, Another’s Gain   Chapter 10

    Princess Sheila’s POV The journey home was quieter than I expected. Lisa remained quiet the whole time, refusing to tell me the details of what transpired between her and Alfredo’s wolf.“What did he ask of you?” I asked the wolf that had turned mute with me, hoping to get a glimpse of their discussion if not all of it.“He did what we discussed last night,” Lisa said. Her answer sounded like she didn’t want me to ask about it.I agreed with my thought as I stared through the tinted glass. The blue sky was tinted ash by the dark windows, to white fluffy clouds. With a low bow, a guard opened the door for me when we got home. My heels clicked on the ground as I stepped on the mosaic of a rose in front of our house.My father stood, a smile on his face as he welcomed me home. He still looked young with his stubble of almost golden beards on his chin. I wondered why I never got his genes for his golden hair, instead, it was my mother’s silky, black hair.“How did it go?” He asked as he

    Melissa’s (Gabriella’s Pov)I followed as he led the way to his mansion. It stood some distance from the dungeon, and I couldn't tell what reasons he had. He liked to walk as he gazed around at intervals, muttering words I couldn’t hear with the nonchalance of a child who had yet to see the world. It proved difficult to believe that someone such as him who would rip your head from your neck; if not given ample reasons, would gaze around like that.“What are we going to do now, Gabriella?” I knew Lyra wanted to make fun of me as she asked that question with my new name. “We’ll see what he has to offer us in his castle and what we can offer him,” I said as I stole glances at him He looked occupied, even with the man who followed us.“That should be his beta,” I said to myself as he followed us. Even as Kirk and Frin dispersed to their station, he didn’t.“I’m sorry you had to walk with me, and the time you spent in the dungeon. It was bad of me,” Alpha Farrell said.I didn’t realize w

  • An Alpha’s Loss, Another’s Gain   Chapter 12

    Princess Sheila’s POV The house felt boring as I walked out of my room. No dad or mum, just the sound of the TV talking about the recent happenings in the human world. Our identities were secret to them. They wouldn’t know if we attacked them or not. “Where’s dad?” I asked as I turned around the living room searching for him. I knew I left him there some minutes ago before I went to my room.His absence was normal, but he remained at home, waiting for me to come home. It was unlikely he would leave just at the moment I saw him. I walked to his room, turning open the door to be greeted by his absence.“You said you wanted to go to the garden, and I wanted to take that opportunity to roam the woods for a while,” Lisa’s complaints filled my inside as I searched for someone who could take care of himself. Heaving a sigh as I turned away; I walked towards the door. The guards at the door made a little bow as I passed between them. “Have you seen my father?” I couldn’t resist the urge t

    Alfredo’s Pov It’s been a week since my engagement and all I’ve done was sleep, eat, and repeat the routine. Not even have a chance to run the pack, as my mother had taken over everything without letting me in on some.“You should let her know how you feel,” Dex said as I threw off the blanket from my body, pushing my feet to the ground.I let out a yawn while I stretched my hands to the sky. Done with it, I was on my feet, moving to the bathroom when I fell to the bed again. I only needed to remain in my study or leave the room and some maid would come clean the house.“Even if I let her know what I feel. I doubt she would let me in on any of those meetings she has with those old men that call themselves elders,” I said, my voice muffled by the bed I placed my head into.“She wouldn’t know about it if you do not tell her,” Dex’s words were enough motivation as I pushed myself out of bed, strolling into the bathroom like the royalty I was.Finished with everything I needed to do. I s

    Alfredo’s POV “I came here to discuss the wedding date as I wasn’t present during the engagement,” Alpha Brian said, his eyes darting from my mother and back to me. “I understand the engagement to unite both our families and pack, but we can’t keep it hanging out for long.”If this was what responsibilities were, I was going to ace it; I thought after hearing what Alpha Brian said.“You speak the truth, Alpha Brian. This is a matter of increasing our strength while fostering a good relationship with other people,” Mother answered him. I could see her drum her fingers on the table, although subtly. If you had spent as much time with her as I had. You would know her fiddling finger was her trying to think. It was only setting a date for a wedding. What more could it imply? “More reason we have to set a date early,” Alpha Brian said. “What date would you prefer it would be, Alfredo?”I froze in my thoughts as I had not expected to be placed in the equation as soon as this. “Anything my

    Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I walked into the room as Aiden opened the door. It differed from the one I stayed in at Silver Rose's pack. A big change from the room of a worker to what looked like the room of an alpha. “Ms Gabrielle, if you would let me call you that,” Aiden said as he stood at the door, watching me look around the room in amazement. “You can call me that,” I said as I twirled around to look at him. He had a carefree look on his face like he never bothered why I was there or what reasons brought me. He wanted to do his job and leave as soon as he could. “This would be your room for the main time and if you don’t like this room, you can tell me and I’ll take you to another room that can match your preference,” he said in the most formal tone I’ve ever heard. Like he didn’t want to step on my toes with his word.“This is enough, Aiden, right?” He nodded his head to my question about his name. “I’ll be okay here.”“That is alright, Ms Gabriella. For any other thing you

    Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) “Dad, Mom. I found a stranger in our territory yesterday and you would not believe what I did.”Those were the words I heard as I followed the rabbit hole or stairs rather, ending at the top of the room where I saw him on his knees. He didn’t seem to notice that I was standing at that spot. “Especially you, father. I know you believe in eradicating anyone you found in our territory who didn’t enter without our permission, but this is my time now. Done with the era of bloodshed; I think I am done with that now, considering the amount of blood these hands have spilled, sending multiple to their deaths because I did not trust them.”His words continued to flow unhinged. They made me feel like he tried to talk to him should his parents have long gone from this world.“At least one soul is safe from both my hands and those you’ve trained to kill on sight. I know you're disappointed in me, Father, but this is my decision,” he said as he stood up. With his hands i

    Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov)“Spaghetti,” I said as they dropped the food with some chunks of assorted meat placed between us.“You remember it?” Alpha Farrell asked because of the intonation I used. “You remember anything?” He pressed on, dragging his seat forward as he placed his hand over mine.“No,” I said, shaking my head. This was the second time I almost gave myself out. He let out a sigh as he pulled away, picking up a fork. He held it up like he meant to show me how it was done, dipping it into the pasta. The spaghetti rolled around the fork as he spun it around, letting it reach his desired size before pulling it up. “You can try it.”I nodded as I took the fork in the same way he did, wrapping around some of the spaghetti. He nodded his head as we all ate, almost in silence except for the clanking of metal to ceramic and slurping from the pasta.“What do you think I can do here, Mr. Aiden?” I asked as I dropped my fork to the plate, satisfied from eating.He looked at me with

    Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment

  • An Alpha’s Loss, Another’s Gain   Chapter 118

    Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c

    Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s

    Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out

    Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this

    Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him

  • An Alpha’s Loss, Another’s Gain   Chapter 113

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I

    Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q

    Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
