All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S CORPSE BRIDE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

NYLAPenelope wasn’t a lot of things or maybe I didn’t pay enough attention to her, her parents brought her over at a party my parents hosted and ever since we were inseparable. It’s pathetic to say she was my first friend. We always did what I wanted well that’s until Melanie came along. Father introduced me to her to please her father, Lord Thompson.Melanie, apart from her father’s position wasn’t proud, the first time I met her she was just this sweet wallflower. Honestly I was surprised, if my father had the fate of Peralez in his grasps, I wouldn’t be as docile as Melanie but then again, lord Thompson was rather strict with his children, so it would be odd for any of them to act out.When Melanie appeared, I could tell there was a shift, I often babied Melanie to a degree and then Penelope would act out to get my attention. It wasn’t in anyway childish, they didn’t act like babies. They fought for my attention, complimenting me at my many dresses, inflate my ego so high to the r

CAMILA"Eat your food." My mother demanded clearing her throat."The both of you." She immediately order Melanie and I. Ever since we were pulled from our duties as hand maidens. We have been holed up at home. We were ordered not to leave the house and to solidify my father's orders, we received news that Penelope Ekalot was almost bled to death.I could count on one person to release such rage, it was obviously Nyla. Because of her careless actions I don't think I can even leave this damn cage.Normally I don't mind having the house all to myself but i had Melanie disturbing my peace. All she ever talked about was Nyla and it was making me rancid to the point I could gag at how much she worshipped and defended Nyla.Mother made us have breakfast. Tonight was the last meeting before we know Peralez's fate. I couldn't get my self to eat knowing my father was initiating a war. You can argue he gave the royal family options, they get to choose the death of Nyla or a bloody war. Knowing t

ADALINEEyes of all kind stuck to me, I remain sat reading a pamphlet of a newspaper. My eyes easily bounced back and forth from the lingering eyes and to my paper. I didn't really want to be in the open since I'm much of a sub topic in the empire. I was meeting Camila out in the open since her father doesn't want her close to me. I predicted she would be late and wondered how she would lose her guards. Unlike me, I had twenty of them disguised in the open, that's why I was bold enough to be here.My eyes darted to a noble lady, she immediately tore her gaze away from me and turns to her friends."It's really true." I hear indistinct chatter bouncing back and forth as a few noble ladies walked past me. Ever since the empress died a rumor spread that Nyla has been dying her hair purple with magic and that I originally bore the trademark of Peralez. I propose it's more than a rumor since it's been published in the gossip column of every newspaper.It's odd really, when my hair was bru

GRANTFunerals were not a new thing to me. I see to have outlived every single person in the Hazem bloodline. Sometimes I attended the funerals of the brides that were bethroted to me and for a while I grew accustomed to the gross stare of the relatives of the brides. Even when their relatives are to blame for putting them in such a position. At some point everyone wanted a consolation prize, they even started sending child brides.There was a reason why I was adamant to leave Peralez the night of the empress funeral. The people of Cerso gave me a bride and she died apparently like the rest. Just like the witches they despise my guts and hate me for killing their bride but if they weren't greedy. Maybe they would have thought twice about the gravity of losing their daughter.Florynn Cerso the duchess of Cerso, as well as the sister of the Empress, Amira.She partially runs a newspaper firm in Cerso and after the death of their elder sister, she has dragged my name deeper than filth. I

NYLAIt was just mere rumors. But as soon as Adaline left the room it was known they didn't have sex. She didn't have to tell anyone. By now everyone was expecting Alpha Grant's beast to take over and ruin the empress, a bunch of maids stood by the door with a doctor early in the morning to care for Adaline. I was addressed to her as well but when she came out unscathed it solidified what my father had told me. Alpha Grant's curse was broken.Why everyone were racking their brains on how she came out without bruises, I quickly thought of my plan to lay down with the Alpha. I didn't really do much to rid of Alpha Grant's child, the damn knight already did the job so my main mission is having the Alpha bed me."But how? Not a single bruise?" My attention was piqued by the chatter flowing freely among the maid's network. Curious, I drifted towards the group and effortlessly inserted myself in their conversation."What do you think, Lady Nyla?" All eyes shifted to me, their gazes like dag
