The Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 84
♡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♡ “Do you know how long we’ve been here?” I asked in a hushed tone as Raphael walked through a narrow path through a thick, dense forest of trees with dark blue leaves. It had been all we were seeing for the past few hours. It was eerie. They almost completely blocked the light of the stars, and we had to depend on Raphael’s sharp eyes to remain on the blue star so we wouldn’t wander astray. The silence was deafening and made me anxious that something was going to pop out of the leaves to attack us. “I don’t know. Maybe two or three days.” He replied just as quietly as I was, tightening his hold on me so I wouldn’t slip off his back. “Are you tired? We can take a break if you want.” I said, feeling sorry for him. He had been going through a lot. A whole lot. Fighting monsters, carrying me, and being on guard while I slept. It was an endless circle for him. And worse, his wounds weren’t healing as quickly as they were supposed to, one of the effects of The I

♡Arielle’s Point of View♡No. He couldn’t be. Please, he couldn’t be. Raphael couldn’t be dead. He couldn’t. He was too young. He still had so much to experience and enjoy in life. He couldn’t die without seeing his territory free of Killian’s plan. He… he couldn’t leave me.I knew sounded really selfish, but I was honest. I didn’t want him to die. I didn’t want him to leave me. He changed my life. He changed my perspective. He made me see the world, alphas, in true light instead of the tinted lens I had grown up with. He had made me feel all sorts of things that I never dreamed I would with not just anyone but an Alpha. I couldn’t let that type of man die. Fate could take me and leave him instead, and I would be fine. Because… I loved him.“I loved Raphael.” I whispered and tried not to scream, and laugh, and shout, and curse myself at the same time. What was wrong with me? I was crazy.He had confessed his love to me some days ago, and I kept insisting that I didn’t understand wheth

♦Raphael’s Point Of View♦ “Arielle, please wake up. I need you.” I whispered, brushing a small strand of her hair from her face. It had been three days since we returned from The Intertwine. Three days and my sleeping beauty’s eyes hadn’t even twitched. I had been by her side the whole time I was awake, waiting and praying to the moon goddess that she would wake up. Joan had said she would wake up soon, but every second she wasn’t awake, it made my chest squeeze. How soon was soon? She had to wake up. I was losing my mind seeing her so frail and weak, covered with bandages from all the injuries that she had sustained from the bug bites. We had even tried magic-induced drugs, and they helped her leg a bit, but the wounds she had remained the same. I was sure it was because she got them from The Intertwine. I couldn’t protect her enough. I had laid half-dead, unable to do anything against the devil bugs apart from waiting for the hands of death. While she got hurt not just trying to

♦Raphael’s Point Of View♦Arielle was kissing me?! Not me kissing her. I didn’t initiate it; she did. She was kissing me on her own volition.My brain fried for a split second before my body responded on its own. I placed my hand behind her head and deepened the kiss. The beautiful taste of her lips and her scent engulfed me, and I lost myself in them, savouring the goodness.She broke the kiss just when my hunger for her had risen to the point where I wanted to be in control and deepen it, but I had to respect her boundaries. If she wanted to stop, then it was fine with me, even though I wanted more. Just her kissing me out of the blue was enough to keep me on cloud nine for a week.“What—”“Shh.” She whispered, placing her finger on my lips. “It may seem really odd that I would say something like this at this moment, but I need to say it now because I don’t think it’s fair to you. So will you please listen to everything without interrupting till I’m done?”Though confused by the sit

♡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

♡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
