The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 71. ARIEL — "run Roseline under, save my skin"
I knew that I just did Roseline dirty to save my skin. I couldn't believe what had just happened, As I walked towards the cave, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that hung heavy over me. “I’m sorry, Roseline.” I said as I fussed with my gown. “Mm-m.We can’t talk about this now,let’s talk about this after the ritual. Before Your dad sends a herald of soldiers after us.” She said and I managed a small laugh. I had just used Roseline for my selfish gain, and here she was laughing with me. I shrugged. I was anxious. Asher had me anxious with his actions earlier, and Mother seemed to have caught my lie. And I had just lied using my precious cousin as a cover. I felt terrible. “Are you alright? You look like your mind has wandered away.” Roseline said as we walked to the cave. “I’m alright. Just nervous. What would the outcome of the ceremony today be? It could change my destiny forever.” I said and she chuckled wryly. “Or you’re just worried that it could ruin your relationsh

72.Xavier “Your highness!” Sean, my soon to be Beta called out to me, drawing my attention. I raised my brows as I wondered what it was that he wanted to say, I hadn't seen him in a while, so the surprise was imminent even though currently I was tasked with how much Ariel infuriated me. “I…” He sighed. “I think we need to undergo another training” He announced. It did not make any sense to me as I wondered what it was that he wanted to talk about. “Cut to the chase” I answered sternly. “Do not waste my time” I never spoke to Sean this way but I was way out of the mood for petty talks I had no idea of. “We need to retrain our men. There are recruits and they need to be trained” He answered and bowed almost immediately. “Stop it. Do not say anything of such nature. We are not doing that. We do not have the luxury of time to do that” I responded almost immediately; anger visibly written all over my face. “But… they really need to be trained so as not to have issues eventually.

Could this day get any worse? I sat and stared as both Mothers fussed over dresses. They had basically dragged me from the palace after they had told Xavier about the celebration party, and they said we needed to go shopping for banquet decorating materials, and other basic stuff. Stuff that usually and still bored me. “Ariel dear, what do you think?” Mom asked as she wrapped a piece of purple silk around her body and stared at me. Mom used to be a model,so it was understandable why the cloth made her look so damn…Royal. I said nothing and gave a slight nod, and slipped back into my thoughts. I wasn’t going to enjoy this party anyway. It was going to be probably the worst day of my life, because I developed a phobia for parties and rightly so. I sighed and my mind unwillingly went to Xavier. The angry feelings that I had been feeling two days seemed to go away and I was filled with more resentment than anger. I resented my parents. I resented the alliance. I resented the curs
Last Updated : 2023-04-19The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 74. XAVIER — " I'm sick Xavier"
I could feel it. Ariel’s worries concerning me. But I was too busy to communicate. I mean, I had been overwhelmed with the information My dad had given me. “I plan to retire from Pack duties.” Dad had said and that was another shock. He thought me responsible enough to handle pack matters, but if he was planning to retire, it meant he was abdicating the throne so that I could rule. And even I was not sure if I was ready for that sort of responsibility. I mean, I could barely handle my new marriage and it was basically a mess,even though nobody except Ariel and I could see it. “I’m sick, Xavier, that's that.” Dad had said and that had done it. I had never seen my Father sick or weak. He always ruled with an iron hand and always wanted things done his own way. But seeing him mention his vulnerability to me was something I had definitely not expected to see in my lifetime. “You need to prepare for take over. The road to becoming an alpha, Son, is not.. smooth.You would need the sup
Last Updated : 2023-04-20The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 75. ROSELINE — " stay out of my business"
I clenched my fist. This party was so dumb. I sighed and sipped from my wine glass. My mind went back to three days ago, the day of the ritual ceremony. I couldn't believe it when I found out that Ariel and Xavier were fated mates. It was like a punch in the gut, a blow that knocked the wind out of me. How could this happen? How could fate be so cruel? My feelings towards Ariel turned from jealousy to pure disgust and hate. She had taken everything that I wanted, everything that I had worked for. And for what? Just because fate had decided it should be so? It was unfair, it was unforgivable. I couldn't stand to look at her, to be near her. The very sight of her made my skin crawl. And yet, everyone around me seemed to adore her. They were all so happy for her, so excited about the celebration. It made me sick. My jealousy only grew when I saw them hugging at the banquet. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes to me. They had a connection, one that I could never compete wit
Last Updated : 2023-04-21The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 76. ARIEL — "I need to see you right now"
I ran as fast as I could, to see Asher.I had no idea what the urgency was about but I knew I needed to see him as soon as possible. He had a frown on his face as he looked very sad and angry. “Is something going on?” I questioned as he crossed his hands behind him, pacing up and down as she was so upset. His eyes shot daggers as he turned to look at me and for a minute, I was a bit confused. Had I offended him? “Talk to me! You can’t keep me hanging” I insisted as I walked to meet him, a frown on my face. “I need to talk to you immediately. I want to see you right now” He pulled my hands and was about to leave but I was quick to yank it off as I raised my brows. What was he talking about? “Where do you want to take me to? What do you want to say?” I questioned as looked up at him in confusion. I could not walk away with him to a place I had no idea of. I looked around suspiciously to be sure no one was looking at us and of course, realizing there was no one, I let out a sigh
Last Updated : 2023-04-22The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 77. XAVIER — "I want a divorce"
Shock was an understatement of how I felt the very minute I heard those words. For a minute, my senses seemed to stop as I could not process what she had said. I had been a bit upset when I had seen her with Asher. I felt a sudden sting of pain in my body and I had no idea if it was from the injury I sustained or what she had just said. My brows furrowed as I stared at her. I was so confused and taken aback by her confessions. “Xavier, I want a divorce. I do not want this anymore. I do not want this marriage" She answered and looked away from me. A smirk formed on my face. "Since when did you plan this? Since when did you plan to do this?" I questioned, crossing my hands and looking at her calmly. "That doesn't matter" She sighed. "All that matters is the fact that I am no longer interested in this drama we call a marriage” She confirmed. Despite the anger brewing in me, I remained calm. That was the only way to handle the whole situation. “Drama? You call this drama?!”

Several days had passed and it felt like the joy we once felt in the pack was no more. Everyone had kept to themselves and everywhere had suddenly begun to get so cold than it was. Ever since the day we were tempted to get intimate as a result of the mate bond, Ariel had avoided me like a plague. When we were able to meet, she would ignore me like I did not exist. I didn’t care either. I let out a sigh as I got prepared for what the day had to bring. No sooner had I stood up when I heard a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “Come on in” I ordered and walked to the mirror; a smile etched to my face. “Good morning, Your highness” The stranger at the door greeted as soon as he opened the door. It was one of the guards and I wondered what had brought him there at that time of the morning. I nodded in response as I anticipated his message. “You have been invited to the royal palace. The Alpha wants to see you as soon as possible” He informed and again, I nodde

The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire "peace. Love. Family and Happily Ever After"
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

The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 131. ARIEL — "I Adore and I Love You"
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
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 130. ARIEL — " Help me"
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
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 129. ROSELINE — "welcome to hell, my queen"
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
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 127. XAVIER — "crossfires"
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
The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 126. ROSELINE — "A torturous death!"
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
