The Alpha’s Better Half Chapter Nineteen
“We need to talk.” Arya said to Brad with a serious look plastered on her face.Brad sighed, his eyes darting around as he flashed a girl a smile before looking back at Arya with disgust evident on his face. His lips were pressed together as he curled it up.“Brad..” Arya called out again, trying not to show her voice breaking.He took her hand in his, pulling her away amidst the crowd as they both marched outside the cafeteria. Immediately they got outside, he flung her hand away from his and Arya’s heart clenched out in pain.“What’s wrong? Why do you have something to say all the time? I’m just coming in and yet you already have something to say? Can’t you be quiet for a while?” He bellowed at her.“I know about the druggies. I know you work for them. I know you’re still with them.” Arya cut him off as he turned to see glassy eyes staring at him.Brad clenched his jaw, his hand going to massage his forehead as he stared at her. He opened his mouth to talk but found himself closing

“Thank you.” Arya said as she got down from the car.“Just be good and take care of yourself.” Alston smiled at her before she opened the door and got down.She sniffed in as the cold breeze hit her. She didn’t want to go back inside the school, nor see any of the school students. All she wanted was to be on her own, possibly in her room.“Can I ask you for a favor?” She said back to Alston.“Sure.”“Can you drop me at my house? School will soon be over and I can’t go back in.” Her eyes stared wide at him, hoping she would say the answer she needed to hear.Alston found his wolf dancing at the thought of this. It would be too dangerous if her mum saw him, both for him and both for her. But who was he to decline her request? Even her cute face staring at him was enough to give in to her request.“Sure. You can come in.” He said as he revved the car engine.“Thank you.” She blurted before dropping her bag and getting in the car.Alston revved the engine, putting the car in reverse befor

“What!” A yell passed across the room.“Why are they not here? I have to return to the school soon before I go missing. I’m having some classes and I have to see my girl. I can’t afford to make her angry again.” Brad yelled again through the phone.Annoyance clouded over his face and the next word the other caller said deepened the lines that edged his forehead.“What do you mean arrested? What about my money? How did they get arrested? I thought they were always careful, what do you mean?” He asked with deep lines on his forehead.The whole room went quiet as he listened attentively to what the other person was saying, and the more time the person took, the messier his face became.“So you’re telling me now that they went to the police station and tendered themselves in? Or what the heck are you saying!” He raged through the phone.“Man, you have to calm down. I don’t know how it happened but I heard they beat up a girl and drugs were found on them with the cops. They’ve been arreste

“You can cry it all out..” Alston patted her back softly, his hand moving up and down as her sobs filled the car. “I…did..not…..he..” she stuttered in between her tears. “He’s not worth it.” Alston said angrily as he continued to pat her. “No…h…he’s..j…” she cried out again, not wanting to believe Alston even though the pieces were adding up. During these few days that she has gotten to know herself and about the close people around her, it felt like Brad was also just revealing who he was before. But she didn’t want to believe it, he has had nothing but a perfect boyfriend to her before. The same guy almost half of the girls in the school want to be with, but only chose her. The same boy that a lot of girls eye, but only eyed her. “What went wrong?” She sobbed as she lifted her face from Alston's shoulder as she looked into his eyes. Her water glazed eyes and tear stained face made her look like a mess but at the same time

“Hey.” Arya called out with furrowed brows. She couldn’t see the double. This was Alston, standing in front of her house with his hand in his pocket and dark sunglasses sitting on his face. “Alston.” She yelled out again before he finally turned his face to her. “You’re here.” He muttered before walking to her. “You live around here?” She asked once they were walking together. “Nope. I came to pick you up. How are you feeling now?” He rambled out as he opened his car. Aryas heart fluttered at his words but she quickly reminded herself she had a boyfriend. “One that doesn’t care about her..” a thought occurred to her as she sighed before entering the car. “I’m feeling better. Thank you.” She retorted before closing the door. “That’s good.” Alston replied before starting the car and driving out of the neighbourhood. Throughout the car drive, the only sound that could be heard in t

“Alston…” she cried out as she got outside.Collapsing in his arms as the tears fell down her face, Alston's heart squeezed tightly against her chest because of how she looked. He clenched his jaw as his eyes darted to the entrance of the school. If must be him again, it must be that stupid thing she calls her boyfriend. Weak, stupid thing that knows nothing than hurt her.Carefully picking her up, he walked to his car before placing her in it. Walking to the other side to take his seat and pulling her for her head to lie on his chest.“It’s okay. He’s not worth it. He’s not worth you. Cry it all out. Cry it all out.” He continued to pat her as he said all his words out.Alston's lips curled up at the thought of him saying these words. He, the alpha of their pack who hardly interacts with anyone, is now someone who does nothing but watch a girl from afar and try to pat her and make her feel better.“We…we broke…up…..I…broke..up…with..him.” She said amidst her tears.Alstons hand on he

After a little chit chat with Zachariah, Alston was at ease a little bit, knowing that Zachariah had all things under his control. He has dispersed the guard and told them they’ll be off tomorrow, so they could have enough time to prepare. Alston walked to the bathroom and took a quick bath before deciding to take a run with his wolf. He was restless and just wanted to be alone. Before he could finish wearing his cloth, he caught a whiff of someone at the door making him scrunch his brows.“Who’s there!” He yelled out before the familiar scent hit his nostrils.Rolling his eyes casually, he put on his shirt finish before rolling his eyes, “come in.” He responded by opening the door.Standing there was no other than his mother, who was holding a bowl and a basket in her arms.“Come inside.” He repeated as she stood there, looking at him.“You look so lean that I don’t even know what to say! Why did you stay so long in that world! Those bunch of crazy and reckless individuals, and yet y

“Are they ready?” Alston asked Zachariah as his heart kept thumping wildly on his chest.“Yes. They’re all outside, waiting for you.” Zachariah replied as he bowed down to him.Alston nodded as he continued to pave back and forth the room. He was scared, for the first time in his life, he was damn scared and nervous about her. What if they didn’t leave the house? What if they decided to be tough? He saw the doubt on her mothers face when he dropped the key. He had seen how disappointed Arya was by the look she gave him. She could also be stubborn sometimes, what if she decides not to listen to him or them and stay in the house.“Your highness..:” Zachariah called out again.“Let’s go.” He pushed the thought at the back of his mind before walking outside. He had given them a chance, it was theirs to make if they wanted to take it or not.“Your highness.” The while guard growled at his appearance.“I want all of the place to be ransacked, every inch and corner of the house should not go

After making rounds and checking everywhere of the pack, Arya's mind was at ease at how she was welcomed amidst them all. She smiled to herself as she laid back on the bed, thinking about the little kids she saw and how happy they were when they saw Alston.Once she thought a world like this never existed, until the world turned out to be hers and she kept on enjoying it. She smiled in her pajamas, rolling back and forth with a lot of thoughts going on in her head.“Arya…. I’m ready.” Alston called out as he walked out of the bathroom.They were going to her house to pack her clothes, if not, she would soon be walking naked in the pack.“You know, I can just keep on wearing your clothes, we don’t have to do this.” Arya called out.“We’ll, we have to. The way you’re stealing my clothes is now quite alarming.” He replied to her, rolling his eyes at her as he walked out of the room.Arya fumbled out of the bed, muttering some incoherent words to herself as she stomped her foot on the flo

“Aren’t you ready?” Alston called out for the umpteenth time.After proposing to Arya and alerting the whole pack about it. Arya had begged him to release the elders since they didn’t know anything about it but not after giving them an earful of instructions. The priestess that were involved in mapping out her mothers death were demoted, stripping them off their titles and making them ordinary maids of the pack while the others were also released.Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins moved back to the human world. Mrs Jenkins was never a fan of being confined to a single pack, and so left immediately after giving Alston a handful of instructions.Alston wanted to take Arya through the pack, show her every nook and cranny of it and yet she was taking the whole day to dress up, or the maids were doing so.“I’m done.” He heard her say as he turned his back to look at her.His eyes roamed her body, his wolf growling underneath him as he begged to rip that dress off her. Even though he proposed and

Arya and Camilla walked a lot of miles through the pack, things were still bubbly, probably because they just left the square not too long ago, Camilla said. Taking her to different places in the pack, and showing her different things of their pack, Arya enjoyed the walk that she didn’t want to leave, and yet her sole purpose of walking still became a void in her heart.By the time they returned home, everywhere was dark already, and eerily silent.“The alpha asked you to sleep in his room, I’ll lead you there.” Camilla said, bowing as she walked in front.Arya smiled to herself, following her gently and quietly as they arrived at the front of a big room.“Good night, your highness.” She said, walking away fast as she could before Arya could even say anything.Arya shrugged her shoulders as she opened the room, her eyes dazed at the sight in front of her. She smiled at the thought of the flowers Alston brought to her the other day, so he was a keeper of flowers himself.“He must have

After his parents death, he never gave up on finding the real killer, having a whole lot of things to do to them and has mapped out for them, and now finding who they are, his head was nothing but a blank page, filled with hurt and emptiness.“Throw her in the fire! Throw her in the fire!” The people of the pack yelled out, making him clench his jaw.They never did the fire killing, they never killed people with fire in the pack. But since they found it as a nice option to kill his mate, he had helped them, while they had to take the first death, it has become something he was going to take up.“Your highness, please, please. Do not do this! This isn’t a wise choice.”She pleaded on top of her voice, tears dropping down her face and falling like the ocean.“Please. Please!”She continued to plead.Alston signaled to the guards,‘matching forward as they dragged her towards the fire, her wails and screams echoing through the area. One of the children of the murdered priestess entered th

The guards pulled each and every of the priestesses and elders out, not minding the way they handled them because that was the instruction the alpha had given them, bringing them out without caring whatsoever. It was Zachariah and one other guard that matched to where ashlynn was placed and brought her out.The bell had been rung for all the pack to know that there was an emergency already, all of them hurrying towards the square and forming a circle, waiting for anything that was to come.The elders and priestess were thrown in the middle of the circle as they brought them out one after the other. Alston appeared after a while, he had sent a guard to Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins, asking them to come to the square if they could come but also not leaving Arya alone in the house.“The reason why we called this meeting here is because the real perpetrator has been caught and now we can all fully rest and be fully aware that my mate is not the child of prophecy. And everything you’ve been t

“Where’s.. wheres.. the alpha.. I.. I..need..” the priestess stuttered, mustering all her energy to say the words that came out of her mouth.“I’ll advise you to save the energy for when he gets back and rest well now. A whole lot of things are happening in this pack that we don’t know yet.” The pack doctor replied, walking away from her as he rolled his eyes.The priestess raised her hand, trying to call him back but he was long gone.•••••••••Zachariah continued to delve into the forest, following the scent of Alston he had for himself to trace him. His pace increased as he felt himself closing in on him, not minding the paths he passed through as he kept jumping on each of the branches.He saw Alston wolf from afar, standing all alone and lonely at the poisoned river. He reduced his pace, walking to him slowly with fear thumping on his heart.“Your highness.” He called out as he shifted to his human form.Alston did not bother to reply to him even though he heard him, staring deep

“Don’t you want to know about it? What you’ve always wanted to know all this while? Don’t you want to know about it now?” Sabrina questioned with a smirk at the corner of her lips.Alston clenched his jaw as he stared at her, wondering if he should believe her or not. His eyes focusing on her at the same time with gritted teeth,“And what would you know about it? Except you’re the killer, which I for some reason, won’t believe you.” Alston said, scanning her and every of her reactions.“You have so much faith in me, your highness.” Sabrina retorted with a small smile.“I was the one who poisoned them, not because I wished to, but because they deserved it.” She added, falling back to her butt as Alston stood there, shock evident on his face as he stared at her.All this while, all this time, he had known his parents death wasn’t natural and someone had to be behind it, almost saying it with the priestess when the killer was right amongst them, sitting there and acting as their leader.

“Miss me?” Samantha asked with a growl as she walked down to meet Alston.“Find Zachariah and you’ll find Alston. I have more pending matters to deal with now.” He added.Two guards dragged ashlynn towards him as he scanned the crowd.He looked at the floor for the stabbed priestess but she has been dragged away already. All he could hope for was that nothing should happen to her.“Throw her into the deepest cell. The deepest cell where nothing can work, either her claws or powers. We’ll await the recovery of the other priestess to know what’s happening.” He said to the guards.“And I want each and every of the elders thrown into the cell, each and every of the priestess thrown into the cell.” He added as he stormed away.He walked yo where his mother was seated on, looking as brutally beaten than he could ever imagine. Yet her lips curled up as she saw him,“Get me the pack doctor!” He yelled out.“He’s treating the other woman!”Clenching his jaw, he carried her angrily and turned t

“And to what do we owe this honor our honorable alpha that leaves his pack for almost a week and is coming back now?” Sabrina asked as she approached him.Alston eyed her before walking to where Arya was placed, noticing she had fainted out of what they’ve done to her as a growl slipped his mouth. All of them whined slowly, bowing down to him till when he stopped growling.“Who did this!” He yelled out.When no one answered, all of them looked at each other without saying anything. He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth as he tried to bolt his anger in him.“I said, who did this!” He growled out again.“I did it your highness, and the elders were in support of it. She walked..”“And who gave you the permission to do that! The beta! My mother or who!” He growled out again.Sabrina gulped down in fear, taking some steps back away from Alston who kept on approaching her.“All the priestesses and elders would be punished greatly for this!” He shouted at all of their hearings.“And you ha
