The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 80
♡Arielle’s POV♡ ‘Oh, moon goddess, Liana was still here!’ Blood rushed to my face, and my cheeks flared hot like the sun. She witnessed all that! How was I ever going to look at her face again? It was the most embarrassing moment I had ever found myself in. “We’ll talk later.” Raphael whispered to me, bringing his lips down to mine and placing a soft kiss. Was there anything hotter than the sun? Because that was the only thing that could describe the burning intensity on my face. Why did he do that in front of Liana? Wasn’t he embarrassed that she was watching us? Wait, if she was with us since, did that mean… did she hear… Raphael dropped my hands, and I rushed away from him to Liana. All the embarrassment I felt vanished as my heart banged in my chest for a reason other than him. “How… How much of our conversation did you hear?” I asked. I was hoping and praying that she didn’t hear everything. That she had gone when the others had, and she had returned after I had said that. “

♡Arielle’s POV♡ ‘I’m outside, getting the air I need to clear, yet why does my heart still beat like it’s the end of the world?’ I thought, squeezing my hands clamped in front of me tighter as if it would calm me down. It didn’t. Nothing did. The fragrance of the garden around us and the cool evening air couldn’t calm my nerves. My entire being was still on the edge. Why? I didn’t know. Was it because I was afraid he was going to be mad that I spilled our secret to Liana or because he said I was his… mate? Blood rushed to my face, and I stared harder at the floor of the gazebo. I needed to forget about that and apologise for spilling the beans. “You’re fidgeting, Arielle. Why are you afraid?” Raphael said, taking my hands in his and placing a small kiss on them. My face grew warmer, and my heart rate went up. He wasn’t helping one bit by doing that. “I-I’m not afraid.” I replied, although my voice betrayed me by sounding weak and meek. “You can’t even look at me.” He chuckled and

“Raphael?!” I gasped as sparks raced from the skin where his soft lips touched down to my core. One of his hands slid under my shirt, caressing my skin, and I quivered. “W-what are you d-doing?” “What does it look like I’m doing?” He murmured, pressing two more kisses on my neck, and I bit my bottom lip, holding back the moan that was ready to fall. I pressed my legs together, trying to calm the heat raging between them. “W-we shouldn’t do this. O-our c-contract.” I breathed, trying not to shut my eyes and loss myself in his actions. But it was so hard. It was so hard to fight against my instinct and not give in to him. His pheromones were interwoven with mine, and the warmth of his kisses and touches was so intoxicating. But we couldn’t. Our contract said no sexual intimacy. I had made that rule, and he had agreed. Yet he was breaking it. I was supposed to be mad. I was supposed to yell at him and demand he let me go. Then yell at him some more for violating our contract. But I co

♡Arielle’s POV♡“Please let her be with her phone this time.” I mumbled, pressing my phone to my ear as I paced around Raphael’s office. Since I had returned to Evercrest, I hadn’t heard anything from Brielle. I thought since Killian had accomplished what he wanted by shocking me and the whole world that he was my father, he would return the device to her, but it seemed like he hadn’t.I needed to speak to her. I needed to know how she and Mom were. Raphael and I were to go to The Intertwine the next day, and I doubted I would have peace of mind if I went without knowing how she was. Especially since Killian had greatly limited our contact. I just wanted to hear her voice to make sure she was okay.“You really don’t give up, do you?” A voice came from the other side of the phone, and I stopped walking, but instead of my face lighting up in joy, it twisted into a disgusted scowl. That wasn’t my sister. I had heard the voice only a few times, but I knew who it belonged to.“Why are you

♡Arielle’s POV♡ “… You’re pulling me out of my comfort zone, Raphael.” A masculine voice spoke as I pushed open the door of Raphael’s office. He was sitting on one of the couches, chatting and sipping wine with a dark-skinned man sitting opposite him, whom I had never seen before. ‘That must be Alpha Gordon. My ticket to getting information on Brielle.’ I thought, clutching the letter I had prepared, and I walked into the office. “Don’t tell me you would rather be holed up in Havenbrook than help save a damsel in distress. You can’t be that heartless.” Raphael teased. His gaze flickered at me, and his face brightened. “This is Arielle, my beautiful wife, and Luna.” He announced, leaping out to his feet and rushing to me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his friend. The man stood up, and only then did I notice he was not just tall; he was huge. He stood a few feet taller than Raphael, who was already tall, and had more defined muscle. While Raphael had more of a

♡Arielle’s POV♡It was like we had stepped into a magical world that only existed on the pages of fantasy books. The Intertwine was nothing like the grey-scale world I had imagined. It was beautiful. No, beautiful could not cut it. It was ethereal.The vast night sky was full of a multitude of dazzling stars that glowed, each of different sizes and soft colours. Some even had other stars orbiting around them. They were not enough to make the world as bright as day, but bright enough for us to see where we wanted to go. The landscape wasn’t as colourful as the sky and was a bit empty. We were standing in an almost endless meadow that had sparse little flowers and trees with coloured leaves here and there, but that didn’t mean it didn’t have its charm. A soft breeze moved through the short grasses, carrying a sweet, gentle scent.“Are you sure we’re in the right place?” I asked Raphael as I rubbed my eyes, in case I was dreaming about all I was seeing. I wasn’t. It all remained the sam

♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Let go of me.” I screamed, slamming my boot of my free leg into its hand that held my other. It didn’t even flinch a bit at my action. It lifted me so my face could be in front of it and it let out a bone-curling roar. I shut my eyes, wincing at the terrible sound and pungent stench of rotting eggs that came from its mouth. Drops of saliva touched my skin, and I felt like I was pierced by little needles. I needed to act fast, or else I would be monster food in just the first few minutes I spent in The Intertwine. And I couldn’t depend on Raphael. He was too busy defending himself. I just hoped he was okay. The sharp pain I felt in my chest was no more and was replaced by the fanatic banging of my heart. My hand unsheathed the dagger on my thigh, and with all my energy, I stuck the blade into its right eye. A thick, yellow, repugnant liquid oozed out of the gash. I expected the monster to shriek in pain or at least react a bit to the stab and maybe drop me while he

♡Arielle’s POV♡“Where did you learn to treat broken bones?” I asked as I watched him clean the last bit of blood off his arm. I wanted to help him patch his wounds, but he refused, like it was my hands that was hurt. It was the least I could do after he had helped me treat my broken leg.It wasn’t perfect given that our medical bag had been tussled during our encounters with the monster, and so some of our supplies had gotten broken. And honestly, we didn’t carry a cast to treat a broken leg because, well, we weren’t prepared for that. Injuries and wounds we were, but broken bones? Not so much. He had to make do with what was left and improvise. He did a great job.“Charlie was good at medicine, so he taught me a thing or two, even if he was sure I didn’t need it. I’m grateful he did.” Raphael said and began returning the medical equipment back to the bag.True, an alpha didn’t really need to know how to fix broken bones or stuff like that. Their healing rate was off the charts. If h

♡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

♦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
