The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 49
♡Arielle’s POV♡ “You know her?” Raphael gasped, removing his head from my lap, and sat up. “How?” I bit my bottom lip. Was I going to tell him that the witch sold pheromone blockers to me and my family for years? Absolutely not!But how was I going to explain to him that I knew a witch who was so good at hiding her identity that people thought she didn’t exist? “She’s my mother’s friend. We accidentally found out she was a witch.” I lied, which was the only reasonable thing I could do. I couldn’t tell him the truth. I wasn’t supposed to even tell him about her in the first place. There was a reason she lived in secrecy—to avoid his kind. He was an Alpha Lord, and she was a big-shot underworld dealer. She never liked being directly involved with alphas and betas who were in a territory because of how delicate her job was. If he found out that she was involved in the creation and sale of drugs that hid the identities of omegas, I doubted it would end well. Even though I had noticed

♦Raphael’s POV♦ “Stop there,” Arielle said, pointing at a building ahead. The car came to a soft halt, and my eyes narrowed at the supposed location of the witch. When Arielle told me she knew her, I couldn’t believe it. The solution to my problem was sleeping beside me all these times. I had spent a lot of time and resources trying to find the woman, and I was on the verge of giving up, but she knew not just her name but where she stayed too. Though she had told me her mom was close friends with the witch, I knew it was a lie, despite how good she was at hiding it. And I was very sure of the real reason. The pheromone blockers. Witches were tricky, greedy, and experts in magic. These three key personalities were needed to be big game players in the black market. They dealt with crafting illegal weapons and potions and selling them to anyone who was able to pay the price. It only made sense that Arielle was able to get the pheromone blockers through her. I didn’t know if that made

♦Raphael’s POV♦“Eww!” Arielle snarled, stumbling back and bumping into my chest. From the small squeaks and quite shuffling tiny feet, I knew it was most likely rats.“What was that?” I still asked, my hand reaching to my eyes, to take off the blindfold, but I held back. I had to trust her.“Rats! I hate those creatures.” She mumbled, tightening her grip on my arm as we resumed our walk. “And I hate coming to this place too. It’s always so irritating and smelly.”“I can smell why.” I nodded. My sensitive nose itched at the heavy, damp, and icky smell. It was like something had died in the water, and though its dead body had been removed, the smell still clung to the air. My eyes twitched, picking up the movements of small, four-legged creatures roaming about.After a few more minutes of walking through what I suspected was an underground tunnel, we stopped, and the sound of knuckles hitting a door echoed through the empty space.“Come in,” a raspy and very quiet voice—I wouldn’t hav

♦Raphael’s POV♦ “What do you mean by again?” Arielle asked, voicing the question in my head. “I meant what I said. I can’t believe someone would be so stupid to summon demons again. This is what you get from hiding history. People are bound to make the same mistakes.” The witch mumbled under her breath, pressing her finger on her temple, and she massaged it. “What did you mean by they hid history? I have never read or been told of demons summoning. What do we not know? What part of history is hidden from us?” I demanded. There was no mention of anyone who had summoned demons in any history books, and I have read a lot. When I meant a lot, I meant a lot. The only thing I read that gave me a bit of detail about summoning demons was an ancient book, which we were very lucky to find. It was how I found out that the insignia was a sign of possession, and the possessed beings were called The Cursed, but it never talked about it happening in the past. But she was insinuating that it di

♡Arielle’s POV♡“You know??” I drew in sharply, and my jaws clenched. How did she know? I knew she would know he was an alpha once she saw him; that was why I didn’t bother hiding it from her. But I didn’t mention he was the Alpha Lord of Evercrest because I thought she won’t find out. The costume had fooled a lot of people but I underestimated how cunning she was.“Of course. I’m an old witch. There’s a lot of things I know that would surprise you.” Agnes laughed. “Some little birdies had whispered to me that an Alpha Lord was sniffing on my tail. It didn’t take me long to find out it was Alpha Raphael of Evercrest. And I did discover that you had married him.” She gave me a dirty look, and I stiffened.I doubted she was ever going to forgive me for betraying my mother and for giving up her identity to an alpha. But what other choice did I have? I didn’t do what I did for selfish reasons. Marrying Raphael was to save my mom’s life, and spilling Agnes’ location to him was for the saf

♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Are you just stupid, or did you, by any chance, run mad? I always thought you were smart, but you’re proving that you’re plain dumb.” Agnes snarled as I stepped into her covert, and I sighed. “Here we go.” I mumbled under my breath as I walked back to the chair I was sitting on a few moments ago. As she had requested, I blindfolded Raphael, helped him to the car, and returned for whatever words she was going to shoot at me. One thing was for sure: they were going to be the farthest thing from nice. But I was ready for it. I had already survived what my mom had thrown at me, so I knew I wasn’t going to be too damaged. There was no tongue-lashing that Agnes could spew at me that was going to surpass what my mom had done. “I can explain.” I mumbled, taking my seat and looking straight into her eyes, which were glaring at me. “It better be a good explanation because I see no reason why you choose to be with an alpha. An alpha, Arielle.” She hissed. “Didn’t your mother

♡Arielle’s POV♡Too tragic.If I was told that my contract with Raphael was suddenly terminated and I was asked to leave, it would hurt a bit. Like telling a newly acquired friend goodbye, but two to three weeks later, the pain would have worn off. I would still miss him a bit, but just that.On the other hand, if, within the five years we were going to spend together, I somehow fell in love with him, walking away from him wouldn’t be easy at all. He would be my first love, and everyone knew first love had a way of sticking to a person. I would be crushed far more than I would want to admit.Agnes was right. I needed to guard my heart. If I fell in love with him, I had no idea how I would react once we separated, and it would be best for me if I didn’t find out. I had to do the right thing, and I knew what that was. I had to build a wall to separate us.The little touches and kisses on the head and hand had to stop. And I needed to form a distance between us. Attention breeds attracti

♡Arielle’s POV♡ *Ding dong* A large grin was spread on my face as I rang the doorbell, anxiously waiting for the door to be thrown open. “Who is it?” Brielle’s voice came from the other side, and I bit my bottom lip, holding in my reply so I wouldn’t spoil the fun. *Ding Dong, Ding Dong* “I’m coming!” She replied; her voice was closer than before, and the door swung open. “Did you miss me?” I grinned, giving her a playful wave. “Ari!!” Brielle squealed, throwing her arms around me and giving me a large hug. “I can’t believe you’re here! I’ve missed you! I’ve missed you so much!” “I’ve missed you too. It feels like we’ve been apart since forever.” I squeezed her warm body tighter. I missed her hugs. They were always home to me. “How have you been? How is life at Evercrest? How is being the Luna of a territory? Is the Alpha Lord an a-hole?” She bombarded me with questions as she let go of me. “One question at a time, and at least let me get into the house first before you star

♡Arielle’s Point of View♡ ~Three weeks later~ “I can’t believe it’s finally time for you to go.” I said to Liana as we stood in the garden. I smiled at her. It was a bittersweet smile. It had been three weeks since our battle with Killian, and the dust had settled. The issue had been reported to the counsel of the Elds, with Liana standing as our witness, and they had accepted that Killian was a terror to the world and so his death was justified. Raphael had also been crowned the Alpha of all Killian’s former territories and had taken full control of them. The territories weren’t in the best conditions since, well, Killian was a tyrant and was more concerned about his belly and body. Rules were being removed, edited, and added to establish order and justice. “Time flies indeed when you’re not looking.” She smiled back at me, hers the same as mine. At least I knew she felt the same way. I didn’t want her to go. We had bonded over the few days that she had been with us. She h

♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“After so many decades of leaving in fear of him, he’s finally gone. You killed him. Thank you, Ari.” She sobbed, throwing her arms around my shoulders and pulling me into a big hug. “I-I’m so happy. I’m really, really happy.”“It’s alright.” I smiled, patting her back. When was the last time I held her? I couldn’t remember, but I was glad I could finally do so.“And I’m so sorry for everything I did to you. All the terrible things I said and did. I’m sorry for keeping the truth a secret and for disowning you. I’m really sorry. I wish I could turn back time and undo them. I’m really, really sorry.”“I forgive you, mom. And I’m sorry for putting you through all the stress.” I hugged her tighter. We held each other for a few seconds until she let go of me.“Are you ok now, mom?” I asked as she wiped her face.“My chest feels tight and empty at the loss of Killian, but I’ll manage.” She sniffled.‘Oh, I forgot that fated mates are heartbroken when the other dies

♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“What? I’m not the one who makes the rules.” George shrugged like he hadn’t just said the lamest joke in every realm.Had he hit his head during the battle? It was the only reason I could think of that would make him talk crazy.Me, leader of Killian’s territories?! Nonsense!“You’re crazy.” I glared at him. Oh, I got what he was doing. He was pulling my legs.“He’s not, actually. That’s how alpha politics work.” Raphael said. “Whoever can defeat an alpha lord to death or make them abdicate their position becomes the new alpha lord. You killed Killian, so that means you are the new um… Alpha Lord of all his territories, Moonshade, Jannah, Ilios, Tempest, and Rlyoid.”“You’re kidding me right now?” I gawked at him.“No, I’m not.” He chuckled, joy and pride glowing in his eyes. “Congratulations, Alpha Lord Arielle. I’m so proud of you.”Absolutely not! Big no! Capital letters n and o. NO! I was not going to be the alpha lord of any territories. Could I even be
The Alpha's Contract Bride 105
♡Arielle’s Point of View♡A loud, creepy shriek echoed from possessed Killian as he dropped to the ground. I took a step back, watching him convulse and writhe like a worm. Tendrils of red and orange smoke rose from him, twisting in the air as he shrank back to his normal human size.“Curse you, you damned infernal creature!” Hellstring cursed, floating over him. Pitch black eyes, full of hate and malice, glared at me, and I trembled at the large monster.“I will end you!” It raised one of its large hands, claws out, ready to rip me apart.A shining gold chain coiled around its wrist, stopping it from descending on me.“What?!”“You shall not harm her,” Liana commanded, pointing her sceptre at him and more gold chain coiled around its body.“Let go of me, you glowing pest!” Hellstring roared, thrashing against its bind.“Return you foul beast. Return to the abyss where you rose from.” Liana chanted, and the green vortex reopened.Horrifying screams rang as the demons that had slithere

♡Arielle’s Point of View♡They were going to die.A few minutes that felt like torturous hours had rolled by, and the battle was looking grim and not in our favour.The other alphas that were fighting with Raphael were sprawled in different corners of the room, unconscious and riddled with life-threatening wounds that even their super-healing abilities couldn’t quickly heal.I was at the edge of our protective dome, watching the whole thing while my mom was pressed against the wall, trembling from fear and cradling Brielle in her arms.My heart pounded as I watched Raphael collide with the ground in a heap of blood and fur. Possessed Killian lunged at him, claws out, ready to rip him apart, but Liana flew and stood before him. Light flooded from her sceptre, sending him flying to the broken ritual altar.“Is that the best you’ve got? I could do this all day.” He chuckled as he bounced back to his feet. The burns on his fur from the blast healed the next second. There wasn’t even a sin
The Alpha's Contract Bride 103
♦Raphael’s Point of View♦`We will once we’re done with Killian’s alphas. Stay safe.``I will.` Arielle replied through the mind link.My lips let out a small sigh of relief as I knocked one of Killian’s alphas unconscious. He slumped to the ground, transforming into his man form and lying there unmoving like most of his comrades. Only a few of them were still standing but, they would soon fall like the others.`Liana’s wings have been freed. Let’s end this battle now and get inside.` I mind-linked to all those that fought with me as another enemy lunged at me.`Yes, alpha!` They replied.The battle pressed on, and though Gordon’s and my alphas had the upper hand, the enemies were still a lot. Much more than I expected—the benefit of having more than one territory under ones command. It didn’t give them an edge over us, but it still made the battle long. Far longer than I wanted.I wanted to be by Arielle’s side. I wanted to protect her, but I couldn’t until I had cleared all the obst
The Alpha's Contract Bride 102
♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“Finally.” Liana laughed, her voice full of more life and energy than I had ever heard. The light burned brighter, radiating her joy.“No. No. NO!” Killian screamed, and I giggled.`Arielle? What’s going on? We can see the light.` Raphael’s worried voice rang through my head.`We got it! My mom got Liana’s wings! You guys can come inside now.`‘She got it! I can’t believe she got it! It was all a ploy after all.’ I smiled as I used my arm as a shield for my face from the light. The demons shrieking was deafening but music to my ears. Serves them right. Sadistic creatures.So it was all a trick. Her words, the action, and that kiss—it had all been an act to catch Killian off guard. And it worked perfectly. He didn’t suspect a thing, and neither did I. I was just as fooled as he was. There was no slip in her act, no hiccup, and no break in her façade. Just perfection.Pride bloomed in my chest. My mom was a wonderful actress.`We will once we’re done with Killi
The Alpha's Contract Bride 101
♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“Mom?!” I rasped as I saw my mom rush towards us.Was I really seeing her, or was the pain making me delirious?“How? How did—never mind. I know that thing helped you.” Killian snarled at Liana, who was curled up and whimpering on the floor.I wasn’t imagining her. She was really there. Why? What was she doing? Why was she with us? Was that what Liana had up her sleeves? My mom? No! He would hurt her!“M-mom, get a-away.” I forced myself to say as I struggled and squirmed in his grip.“Oh, shut up.” He clicked his tongue, lifting the dagger.“No, please don’t hurt her.” She gasped, falling on her knees in front of him and bowing her head to touch his shoes.“M-mom no.” I struggled harder in his grip, trying to break free so I could raise her up.My blood boiled in my veins. She couldn’t grovel at his feet like a slave. She couldn’t grovel to that monster. I could never accept it.“Tell your daughter to stop struggling else…” He brought the tip of the knife cl
The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 100🎉
♡Arielle’s Point of View♡ The large pentagram at the centre of the room glowed with familiar green magic, then turned fiery orange and black and morphed into a portal, letting out an ominous aura and the stench of death. Loud, deranged shrieking echoed through the room, shaking the building from its foundation, and I crumbled to the ground. But I couldn’t keep my eyes off the creepy portal. A hoard of howling and crackling smoke-like creatures rose from it. They were molten grey and grotesque, with eyes that were piercing red, and they reeked like rotting corpses. The room suddenly turned too cold, and the air was too thin. I didn’t need to be told what they were to know what they were. I had seen them a lot in Agnes’ books to not miss them. Demons. A multitude of them were flying over the portal like a dark cloud with fire in it. ‘Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.’ I chanted to myself, hoping it would magically make what I felt disappear. It didn’t. Liana had warned me abo
