The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 1. XAVIER — " I found a way to stop the war..."
There was only silence as we stared at each other. Alpha Axel sat across me never once breaking eye contact. His attire for today was not so complicated as every other day. It was a simple big shirt and a dark pair of pants. His brown hair was also left untouched and his hazel brown eyes sat perfectly on his face. Staring at him like this sometimes felt like looking into a mirror. I could see all the features I inherited from him. The only difference was that he was older and I was younger. I also developed the habit of reading his emotions through his facial expressions. Which was exactly what I was doing now. As much as he tried to hide his true emotions; I could see right through him. He was nervous. Which felt strange since my father was not someone to be nervous about. He ordered out his wishes and they got fulfilled. “Have a drink, Xavier,” he broke the silence with his thick voice. He gestured at the glass of wine that was placed on the coffee table between us. It was red

I stared at both my parents in disbelief. I looked at my father who stood there with an expression as strong as liquor. With eyes as blue as the sky and hair as blond as his skin. To my mother who had skin as brown as creamed coffee and eyes as gray as dark clouds. They seemed to be in their right senses or at least my mother seemed alright with her well-matched clothes which had been pressed to perfection. No crazy person would look that posh. “Did they threaten you? Are they blackmailing you?” I demanded. “Ariel, I made an alliance with the King of the North and I have to keep it,” my father responded. This conversation wasn't supposed to have dragged out this long but disbelief held me by my hair. My frown must have deepened in a way my mother said made me look like a withered prune. “At my own expense?” I demanded and I felt my voice breaking. “I cannot marry a total stranger. I cannot marry a man I do not love. I cannot even see myself doing it,” I protested. Pitifully mi
Last Updated : 2023-02-17The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 3. ROSELINE— "I was going to do everything to keep Xavier for myself"
I gritted my teeth in anger as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The princess had struck again. Wasn't it enough that her parents were the ones to inherit the throne? Wasn't it enough that she got to live the luxury that I was supposed to live? Now she had gotten herself another luxury. She was to marry the Prince of the North! I violently pushed every beauty products and jewelry that were on my table with my right hand and they all went crashing into the ground. My anger did not subside. It only intensified. My body vibrated with every intake of breath. My eyes had switched from blue to orange. I felt a strong emotion burning in my throat and it took every ounce of power from me to stop myself from waltzing into Ariel's room and bashing her to death myself! "What a crybaby she is! She would have ended up with her useless and lowlife warrior boyfriend. He is a peasant for all I care and I was happy about that. At least, she did not get to have a perfect lover but no! Everyt

I stared blankly at my disheveled reflection in the mirror. As hard as I tried to smile, I just couldn't bring myself to. I only ended up stretching my lips until it felt like they would fall apart. From the mirror, I could see Asher staring at me expressionlessly. I wondered what he was thinking. "Say something, will you?" I snapped. I could not help the anger I felt; at the world, at my parents, at myself. I was projecting my anger and fear on him and that made me feel even worse. "So you're getting married." He blurted out in a hoarse voice. No shit, Sherlock. I forced down the sarcasm and focused my eyes on his face. The look of disbelief was evident there. I felt that way too. Between me and Asher, there hadn't been any pretense– we loved each other and we knew we wanted to get married. We had not in any way bargained for this plot twist. I stepped towards him and took his clenched fists in mine. His fingers had gone cold and I could feel a slight tremble in his hands. "
Last Updated : 2023-02-28The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 5. Rosaline — " operation make him hate Ariel"
My smile was sharp enough to cut down a tree but inside, my wolf simmered in anger. I knew that if I wanted to keep Xavier for myself, I needed to act fast and smart. It was a good thing Ariel was not interested in him but honestly, her input didn't matter, he was going to be mine and her parents had decided and it would be so. If she was being honest with herself, this was a losing battle, thank the heavens that she was delusional as well. My face scrunched with temporary disgust as my sights washed over her, how could a crown princess have the hots for a rat... A mere warrior. I'm glad she was tasteless, at least I could be the one with the better taste out of both of us. That was a weight I could bear. “Ariel dear, I feel so bad for you and Asher. I mean, I always thought you looked good together.” My stomach rumbled with the delicious lie, of course, they looked good together. They needed to... She sighed. “What can I do to make him hate me?” she asked. Sometimes, she wa
Last Updated : 2023-02-28The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 6. XAVIER — " I can explain"
The knock sounded on my door a second time and I fought to contain the smile that stretched my lips thin. When my father instructed me to make the journey to the South, taking a liking to my too-be-bride was the last thing I envisaged for. I had seen enough arranged marriages in my life to understand that choosing one's partner was important. I was the next king of the northern kingdom and the next alpha of the moon pack– both came with tremendous responsibilities of which I was very well aware– but I had made it a point of duty to always remind my parents that an arranged marriage was the last thing I would engage in. They seemed to agree with me and all was good until this fateful morning when my father hit me with the bizarre news of my betrothal. Now, it did not seem so bizarre anymore. It was only a few hours since I met Princess Ariel and I had a good feeling about this already. In the morning, I would formally meet her parents and when my family arrived in the evening, we
Last Updated : 2023-02-28The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 7.ROSELINE — "you betrayed and lied to me!"
Bile rose behind my throat, I thought I might vomit. The maid stared innocently at me. The idiot did not know what she had just done. I felt the overwhelming urge to slap her across the face but Xavier was here right now and convincing him was the most important thing. “You can go. Tell her I will be there shortly.” I whispered furiously to the maid. Thankfully, she took the hint and hurried away. I turned to Xavier. His face held serious confusion. I realized at that moment that no amount of explanation would make him understand me. “My prince, I can explain.” I breathed out for the second time. A million thoughts ran through my head. I did not expect him to forgive me that easily but what if he decided to take action against me for my deception? Did he hate me now? I could not allow that. “What was that about? Why did she call you Roseline and why did she ask you to meet with Princess Ariel when you are she? My father never mentioned that the princess had a twin sister.” He sai
Last Updated : 2023-03-01The Alpha's Bride: Love, Hate and Desire 8. ARIEL — " I know you only did it to protect me"
I pulled Roseline in for a hug. Roseline was the last person you could expect to find worried or afraid. Between the two of us, she was the daring one– always ready to fight for what she believed to be right. It was one of the many qualities that endeared her to me. Seeing her looking so anguished now broke my heart. The least I could do was comfort her and let her know I was not about to take offense to her. "It's fine. I know you only did it to protect me." I said and behind me, I heard her sniff back tears. I wondered what exactly Prince Xavier had told her to bring her close to tears. "Thanks, girl. I thought I would get in trouble for this. I was so scared." She said after I released her and touched her hand to her chest in a show of relief. "I got you, girl. Just don't do this next time, or at least confirm it with me before you do." I said, returning my gaze to my open closet. From my peripheral vision, I could see her nodding vigorously. "So what did you mean when you sa

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
