59. ROSALINE — "Their legs were entangled together"

last update Last Updated: 2023-04-07 00:53:56
I turned over and over on my bed.

I wanted to sleep but somehow, I couldn't bring myself to.

The events of earlier kept replaying in my head. Ariel and Xavier, the man I loved were now married. I had an inkling that they had come to a sort of compromise but I was yet to get Ariel alone and question her.

I badly wanted to see Xavier, wanted to hear him assure me that this wasn't the end, that he had found a way for us to be together despite this wedding, I wanted some sort of assurance and my thoughts kept me awake.

Would it be too much if I sought him out tonight? I was desperate and I did not care if it showed. But I had to caution myself.

The entire palace was watching. Xavier's mother probably had her maids in front of the newlyweds room, ears pressed to the door listening for any indication of a steamy night. Funny. If only they knew how much Xavier and Ariel hated each other.

He wouldn't touch her, not even if he had a blindfold on.

I turned again and settled for star

    My eyes flew open. It took me a moment to understand what was truly going on. Roseline's face blurred and then focused in my vision. There was the look of betrayal, dismay and confusion on her face, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't. I sat up at once. I did not know what to address first– my confusion at seeing Ariel naked beside me, the banging migraine I felt, the shattered glass on the floor or the horrified look on Roseline's face. I stared morosely at her as I tried to take in everything at once. Some bits of the previous night was coming to me. I remembered touching Ariel, kissing her and then, everything seemed hazy. "Roseline." I called trying to get out of bed. The pain in my head seemed to hold me back and I fell back on the bed. She did not wait to hear what I wanted to say. She rushed out of the room with her face turning very red and her eyes flashing orange. I wanted to run after her but I soon realized I was naked. I glimpsed my clothes strewn on th

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   61. ARIEL —"I cheated on Asher, with my husband!"

    I felt queasy. I looked at Asher's face. He looked nervous but at the same time, he looked confident. He could never, not even in his widest dream imagine that I'd cheated on him, especially not with Xavier. I wished I had given him a heads up. I wished he did not have to find out this way but it was already too late. He would know and he would hate me. I tore my eyes away from his face and stared at my food. My appetite had suddenly disappeared. I hated myself for what I'd done and I hated that I was doing this to Asher of all people. He loved me unconditionally and he was faithful. I was a fool for ruining all that. I watched as my father smiled at Asher. He must really be happy. He wasn't usually the type that smiled much. "The alliance has been successfully completed." He said. I wished he would leave it at that and maybe I could distract Asher and he wouldn't get to find out, at least not like this. But of course, he was too excited to not complete his sentence.

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   62. ROSELINE — "I cannot lose Xavier"

    My eyes stung with tears but I was determined not to cry. I could not remember the last time I had cried. Or the last time I'd felt this way. I was not dying but my life was flashing before my eyes rapidly. I'd worked hard to get Xavier. I'd done everything within my power but did this mean I was not good enough? Even now, was it impossible for me to beat Ariel? Even when Xavier liked me and hated her? This was more than anger about losing Xavier to her, I felt my inferiority rearing its head again and it was discomfiting. Not once, not even by chance had I beaten Ariel. I hated to mope like this and be pathetic but I could not help feeling this way after what I saw earlier. I tried to shake the image out of my head but I could not stop seeing Ariel and Xavier together in bed. Their limbs had been tangled together and she had been snuggled so close to him that it had taken me a moment to make out her head from his. I reminded myself that their drinks had been spiked, that it w

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   63. XAVIER —"you promised not to touch her!"

    I brought my fist to my chest repeatedly until the pain was so severe I could take it no longer. I did not know how to feel after that disastrous breakfast. I resented my parents for forcing Ariel and I together and being so open about it. I thought of Roseline and my chest constricted. I wanted to see her and explain everything. She was probably in her room feeling hurt by everything that was happening. To make matters worse, the palace was agog with gossip of me and the crown princess. Sean had told me earlier that some were even saying our drinks had not been spiked and that we were only making excuses for how loud we had been. I was usually not one to entertain gossip but I was paranoid, to put it lightly. I looked around me. This bedroom of mine was usually so familiar and brought comfort to me but now, it seemed foreign. Maybe it was because Ariel had moved here but it did not feel like my space any longer. Speaking of Ariel, where had she run off to? She had disappeared

    The pool of jealousy I slowly saw myself become engulfed by, seemed more powerful Xavier was on the verge of anger, balling his fist while his spiraling brows furrowed but somehow,the tension that crossed his face made him look good. Focus! I was not concerned about his looks, neither was I bothered by the gnawing sound that left his lips. The only thing playing in my mind was how I was going to escape from this garden that suddenly seemed treacherous because of him. I adjusted my scowl aligning the bottom of my lips to form a pout. “I’m leaving and there’s nothing you can do about it.” I echoed my determination. His balled fist tightened at my words, and his brows once furrowed thickened. I thought I saw a smirk play on his face after this gesture but as it was, it quickly vanished and I was mistaken as all that was written on his face was fury wrapped in more fury. " And something tells you that I would let you go?” he scoffed and I frowned. The audacity of this man,who th

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   65. ROSELINE —"my eyes flashed orange"

    My face contorted in anger,the moment I had gotten away from her. I would have expected nothing else from her. It didn't take her a long time to become what she was, what she had always been. I got to the stairwell and I stopped for breath, my teeth gnashed and my claws kept protruding from nowhere. My body raked with so much anger, my wolf yowled and all I wanted to do was to scream, scream till my ears couldn't hear anything else. The pain in my heart lingered but she didn't see that part, she couldn't and how could she? I bowed my head and placed a hand on my stomach, as if to stomach the audacity of that brat. My head spinned in different directions and my mouth tasted different shades of bitterness and anger. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that I was actually going to see Xavier. The one thing I had not planned for, not even once. Ever since I caught him in bed with the groggiest eyes I had ever seen, the thought of seeing him again even for a secondmad

    The crack his knuckles made as he flexed his hands even more, made me sure of the fact that there was no way that Asher didn't dislocate those arms. "What did you say?" He asked as his eyes narrowed with so much anger. I smiled against my non obvious grin. "Exactly what I thought because didn't she tell you that she was going to meet you up? " I asked him as though I didn't already know about their meet up. "I heard word that she had grown ill" Asher said and began to tighten the bandages, the fact that he could even tightened let alone hold the bandages with the same damaged hands proved that something was terribly wrong in the head, at least with him. "She isn't sick Asher, think" I said and casually crossed my legs in his dump of a bedroom" I eyed the walls,the dull colours that I suddenly identified with Asher's personality and I hated it instantly. "No" he suddenly soat out, his ears turned red at the tips. "She wouldn't do that to us. At least to me" he convinced himself b

    I didn't know which one was worse, the sharp glare that Asher threw my way or the guilt that ate me up from the inside. The memory of how intent Asher looked at me lingered still, the message behind the glance and the anger unspoken. I bit my fingernails and the inside of my cheeks as my mind roamed in different directions. I felt Xavier tug at my hands and I suddenly snapped back into reality, my face developed into a confused one as I stared at him blankly. "What was that for?" I asked him harshly, our steps still in sync since we walked out of the dinning room together. "We're supposed to look alive together,not alive and half gone" he said and I frowned even more. Here I was thinking about my life and how angry Asher was going to be when I eventually met up with him and Xavier was here, thinking about been alive together. "You have no limits do you?" I asked him, my eyes giving a serious roll as he opened the door to our bedroom and I inhaled the scents from one steamy nig

    Everything suddenly made sense as Roseline was hurled away,her co conspirators were dragged along with her, Juliet was back and Ariel was now a mother. I wanted to book us a holiday trip to get away from everything we have been through for the past months up until Ariel put to birth and I knew that if I waited till Ariel gave her go ahead, she would never let us travel out and enjoy a real honeymoon, so I didn't bother asking her. "Sean" I said casually at my beta, his eyes already twinkling with mischief. "Yes, Xavier?" He asked. "What would you say if I left you in charge for a little while?" I asked him and I could tell how wide his eyes grew. His lips were about to form words. Words that I knew would be in opposition to what I was already proposing. "You can't say no and, Ariel and I need to have a proper honeymoon," I said to him and that made his lips clamp shut, his smile broadened. "You're right actually and it would be unfair to refuse you," he said. " Not to mention

    It felt surreal.The obstetrician had come out earlier to tell me that Ariel was going into labor and now, some hours later, he was back again to deliver the news that I was now a father. Of twins. Nobody had expected that Ariel was pregnant with twins and even the scan had not caught that. It was a miracle indeed and in this difficult time, a miracle was well appreciated. "Can I go in now?" I asked. I was excited but at the same time, I was anxious. It was my first time being a father and I was desperate to do a good job. He smiled and before he even nodded, I had rushed into the room. Ariel was lying in bed, smiling up at the nurses who carried the babies. I stopped at the door for a moment, unsure what to do. "Your Grace." The head nurse said to me. She was smiling and holding out the baby to me. I approached with caution. I had never carried a baby in my entire life and this one seemed so delicate, so tiny that I feared it would slip and the baby would fall. "He's cute." "He

    I slowly opened my eyes.The world around me felt unfamiliar but the face hovering above mine was one I knew too well. Now even if I lost all my memory and forgot the people I once knew, I did not think I could ever forget Roseline. This type of betrayal could never be gotten over. Roseline's eyes widened as she saw me gazing at her and we stared each other down for a while before she stepped away from my bed in shock. She glanced at the door and then the window probably contemplating whether to kill me or run away. I opened my mouth to speak in order to stall for time but no sound came out. Was this simply a bad dream? At that moment, it seemed she decided to kill me. She moved menacingly towards my bed, syringe in hand. I tried to sit up on bed but my body was sore all over and I could barely lift a limb. I was usually one with a speedy recovery rate but I guess there's only so much a wolf can handle. I tried to scream but no words came out. It was then I noticed that the persis

    My eyes shot open.Every inch of my body ached and it was impossible for me to move. A familiar face hovered above me but it took me a good minute to remember who it was. "Syria." I gasped. "You are not dead. Good." "What happened?" Why was she even here? I felt like something really significant had gone down but I did not know what it was at the moment. My brain seemed to be lagging by at least twenty four hours. "The short or long version?" The fact that Syria was refusing to be straight with me irritated me to no end. Did she think I was joking here? I tried to swing my hand at her face but it felt too heavy to lift. "Short version." I said in resignation. "The Queen got away, The king thinks you're dead and you're left with nothing." There was no emotion in her voice as she said it and I was grateful for that. I did not need pity but I wouldn't appreciate mockery either. "Help me up." She frowned at me and then proceeded to look me up and down. "I think it's best you re

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   128. XAVER —" between the devil and the deep blue sea"

    I stumbled and almost fell.Ariel was right in front of me but I could feel her slipping away while I was unable to do anything. Since I brought her back to the palace with me the night before, I had been unable to focus or even sleep. My head hurt badly but the pain in my chest was much more greater. I was losing everything that I had ever cherished. And why? I could not understand it. Why did Roseline have to do this to us? There had to be reason and I refused to believe the narrative that she was simply madly in love with me. Even a psychopath would never go to such lengths but then, psychopaths would never fall in love in the first place. Did normal people not wish happiness for the people they loved? If Ariel decided to leave me, I would be sad and plead with her but it would never ever occur to me to hurt her. Wasn't that how love should be? "Xavier, you need to sleep. There's nothing you can do by pacing here." Sean was trying to be the voice of reason but I did not think I

    I ran as fast as my legs would let me.The sun was almost down and I was desperate to get to Ariel. She was calling out to me and even though I still did not know exactly where she was, I could predict the area. I would find her today. Tomorrow might be too late. "Sean, stick with me and tell the others to spread out in groups of three." Sean set about doing as I had told him while I peered around between trees at high alert. "Quickly form group of threes and stay together. Nobody leaves their partners. If you notice anything weird, alert us immediately." I watched Sean as he went about addressing the numerous guards that were spread out in the field. I had told him to stay back in the palace but he insisted on coming with me. "I want to see this through to the end , Xavier. I feel like we'll be successful this time and I want to be part of that." I could not fault his argument because I understood him. I would want to be part of the team that brought my abductors to justice too

    I slapped Ariel hard across the face.Her hands hung limp by her side and her head fell forward as though she was simply sleeping. If she thought it was okay to start having ideas, then she was begging to be killed and I had no objections to that. But I couldn't let Ariel go just like that. I had loathed her for most of my life and now that it was time to make her pay, I wanted to delight in it for a long time. First, I would kill Juliet slowly and painfully in front of her and when she was begging to be killed, I would grant her her wish. I turned to Juliet. The anger in her eyes had returned and quite frankly, I'd missed that look. That ferociousness that seemed to imply I was despicable and inhumane and she would kill me if she managed to lay her hands on me. Too bad though, she was bound to a chair with her hands tied behind her. "How could you?" She whispered choking out sobs. "How could you do this to Ariel?" It was the first time I was seeing her crying without much restrai

  • The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire   125. ARIEL — "A series of dead ends"

    I slowly opened my eyes.My entire body ached and I felt nauseous. I had been sleeping for a long time but it was still bright out now. Time seemed to pass really slowly here although I had no way of knowing what the actual time was. I tried to keep hope alive, certain that Xavier wild soon barge in with a group of soldiers but I still feared that I would die before he arrived. I did not doubt his love for me or his prowess at finding out information but Roseline was apparently really evil. After all, she had held Juliet for many months now and we had still not managed to catch her. Instead, she had trapped me too. I still found it very difficult wrapping my head around the fact that Rosy was the villain. Maybe this was some sort of prank. Where were the cameras hidden and when would this cruel joke ever end? I looked down at my belly and the vivid memory of her kicking me with so much aggression came to me. I shuddered. There was no way that had been an act. I didn't mean to cry b
