The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 58
♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Raphael!” I squeaked, blood rushed to my cheeks, and I pushed his face away from my neck. “What do you think you’re doing?!” “Being romantic with my wife.” He hummed, returning his jaw to nest in my head. “For the millionth time. I’m not your real wife. I’m your fake wife. Your acting wife. Our marriage is contractual!” I huffed, trying to wiggle out of his grip. Why couldn’t he just get it? Why was he so insistent on addressing me as his real wife? “It is, but according to our contract, you are my real wife, even though it’s just for five years.” He said. “That’s not true.” I hissed. He was twisting everything for his pleasure. “It is. You just didn’t read the contract right.” “You’re telling me that I didn’t read the contract right. Are you serious?” I turned my head, trying to make him see the glare on my face. “Yup!” He said, and I could literally feel the silly grin on his face. “You’re literally breaking a rule in our contract. No sexual intimacy, rememb

♡Arielle’s POV♡Things… Things were getting out of control.Raphael was just supposed to kiss me. Just a kiss, not asking to claim me. What was that all about? Why all of a sudden? I had never heard of an alpha claiming a beta as a mate. Was it even possible, or was it just his wolf talking in the heat of the moment?It didn’t matter if it was possible or not; it was wrong. Very wrong. It was none of my business if alphas could mark betas because I was an omega. If I took his mark, I would be bound to him forever. Did I really want that? Was I ready for that kind of commitment? I knew him for just a few weeks, but sometimes it felt like we had known each other forever. We were always sort of in sync.But it wasn’t whether I wanted to be his mate or not that was bugging me. It was that he would find out the truth about my nature. Then what? How would he feel that, all this time, the woman he had chosen to carry his mark was lying to him and hiding her true identity? If that wasn’t betr

♦Raphael’s POV♦ I love you. That was what I wanted to say. I had fallen in love with her. She was my mate, so I wasn’t surprised, but I never expected it to be so soon. After all, I had only known her for a few weeks, but I didn’t mind. In fact, I was happy. I was exhilarated by my feelings for her because she was a blessing. The moon goddess couldn’t have given me a better mate. Arielle was everything. She was smart and logical, yet she had a large heart and was empathic. She was headstrong and fiercely loyal, yet open to change and new ideas. She was beautiful. Her amber eyes were full of intelligence and had this don’t dare mess with me look, though her face looked blank and polite. She moved with unmatched grace and an ambiance of confidence that I couldn’t help but find seductive. I couldn’t imagine falling for anybody else than her. And I wanted to tell her. I wanted to tell her and the whole world that I was madly in love with her, but one look at her revealed the confusio

♦Raphael’s POV♦ “Your are?” Arielle blinked at me and tilted her head to the side. “Why?” “I thought about what you said, and I saw truth in them.” I sighed, closing the book and laying it on my lap. “I shouldn’t brand all witches as evil because of what they did in the past, just the way I wouldn’t want an omega to judge me based on what other alphas had done.” Witches had done a lot of things to alphas in the past. Their trickery and vast knowledge of magic had caused a lot of serious discord between territories, sometimes almost leading to full-blown wars. It went on for years until the counsel of Elds was able to put a stop to their act. No one really knew why they did what they did, but it caused strife and animosity between the two races. Alphas saw witches as no good, sly snakes and chaos bringers, and they saw us as barbaric, wild cavemen with empty brains. But though I didn’t like the witches, I still saw the wisdom in what Arielle had said. Alphas weren’t all pure and ho

♡Arielle’s POV♡~Ello, I’m really busy right now, so I can’t pick up your call. Please leave a message.~“Why isn’t she picking up?” I mumbled, my dress swishing around me as I paced to and fro in my room. My finger tapped the call button again, and I held the phone up to my ear.~Ello, I’m really busy right now, so I can’t pick up your call. Please leave a message.~“Oh, come on. Why isn’t she picking up?” I growled and threw my phone on the bed in Raphael’s and my hotel room. We had travelled to Moonshade for Killian’s soiree the day before and lounged in a five-star hotel.“You still haven’t been able to reach her?” Raphael asked as he wore his cufflinks.“No, and it’s driving me crazy. Brielle has never ignored my calls. Never ever.” I huffed, plopping down on the bed, and I snatched my phone. I dialled her number again for probably forty-eighth time that day, but as always, I was replied with a voice note. Just like I had been receiving every time I called her for the past three

♡Arielle’s POV♡ All the arrays of Alphas’ pheromones slammed into me at lightning speed, and I gasped, stumbling back. My eyes squeezed shut, and I pressed my fingers against my temple as my body tried to get use to the sudden change in the air. There were many alphas present. Far too many for my omega senses that had only come in contact with just one alpha’s pheromones. It was too much. Too choking. My chest turned tight, like I was drowning. I was suffocating. I couldn’t breathe. The warm and earthy scent of cedar filled my nose, cocooning me and overpowering those of the other alphas. It was safe. It was protection. It could only be one person. Raphael. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me into his firm chest, and I whimpered, melting into his embrace. The banging in my head and the choking in my lungs began to dissipate. “What do you think you’re doing with my wife?” Raphael snarled, and a low growl rumbled from his chest. “Easy. I told you I wouldn’t hurt her.” Killian l

♡Arielle’s POV♡“Mom!” Brielle and I gasped, rushing to both sides of my mom, and we sat on the armrests.Tears streamed down her cheeks, and though she pressed her hand to her lips, trying to choke back her sobs, they slipped past and echoed throughout the room.“It’s alright, mom.” I said as we patted her back, trying to comfort her, but it did no good.She wailed like a woman who had lost it all in one night. It was terrible to hear and see her so broken and crushed.I suspected whatever past she had with Killian was terrible and painful to remember, but I didn’t expect her to have a full-blown mental breakdown.“It’s ok, mom. Let it out. Let everything out that he has done to you. You’ve been holding it in for too long. Tell us your struggles.” Brielle whispered, rubbing her back.“I-I… I can’t. Our mom sobbed harder.“You have to. You need to let it out unless you won’t heal from the scars and trauma.” She insisted, and it only seemed to make her crying intensify.My heart went o

♡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
