Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)
Chapter 48

CHAPTER 48.

-Gabby's POV-

I was still in shock from the information the witch had given me. I couldn't believe it but something didn't make sense.

A lot of it didn't make sense.

"I don't understand," I said and closed my eyes as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Your parents asked for a poison to be mixed into the blend. They have been feeding you u this tion since you were little."

"How? I don't remember eating or drinking-

"It had to enter the bloodstream," she said and leaned forward.

My eyes widened and the realization hit me. If I had eaten it or drink it, it wouldn't have entered my bloodstream. The only way for it to enter my bloodstream would be through my "The whipping," I gasped.

She bowed her head but averted her eyes.

They y had faced the belt with the potion and whipped it into my bloodstream.

"The extraction," I said and looked at her.

I was pushing down the tears, seriously fed up with the crying.

"The extraction would happen upon your blood entering his body. As he penetrated you, you bled, and it went up his urethral opening, entering his body." "And it's lethal?"

"Very, your parents made certain of it," she said.

"Why would they do that? And how could I not be affected?"

"It was made to not get activated until after extraction,"

"But I bled it

bled, it got extracted, activated and then I had it

ad it in me. How could I not be affected?"

"Because it wasn't made to kill you." She said sternly.

"I...I don't..." I stammered and couldn't find the

e words to describe my confusion.

"Gabby," Cassandra looked like she had another epiphany but this time she looked upset.

"Yes?"

"You were

veins.

married off to Aiden, knowing you would sooner or later sleep with him... they planned it." No...no this couldn't be right. They wouldn't. They were terrible people, some of the worst I had ever known but they wouldn't kill another pack's Alpha.

I looked at the witch and though she e didn't give me a verbal answer, I could see on her face that Cassy was right.

"Oh my god," I gasped.

"Gabriella, your parents, once they realize their plan has failed will take on other tactics to ensure success,"

"Such as?"

"Leverage,"

"What leverage,"

"Oh come on! Hasn't she been through enough? Now they're gonna come pulling from that side too?" Cassy shouted distraughtly. just tell

"Can you please

tell me what the f*ck is going on? What is going to happen?"

"They're gonna take you away!" Cassy shouted. I narrowed my eyes and lifted my head. I cliched my hands and bit down on my jaw.

"They can try." I said and looked at the witch.

"How long did you that Asher had left?"

"About six months,"

"They will come before that. He will find another source of strength." I said and tried to think of a plan.

"Gabriella," th

the witch said and looked at me. Her black teeth were chipped and she stood from the chair.

"You will be the center of every fight about to come. Pulled in different directions, used as leverage against the Alpha. You need to have a steady ground under your feet so you don't trip when the time comes," We walked back to the pack house and walked inside.

"Well shit," Cassy said and ran a hand through her hair.

My mind was still railing around the fact that my parents tried to loll Aiden.

They didn't want me to be married off for power and money. They wanted the pack, all of it. They would kill the Alpha and I'm sure that they would later have a second part of the plan about how they would continue. But one thing was still nagging me.

"I have to find my brothers," I said,

"You don't have to look very far," I turned around and saw Edmund standing there with a smirk. When he saw the serious look on my face his smirk disappeared and his brows hunched down. "What's wrong?"

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Right here," Nick and Noah stepped out.

"We have to talk." I said and narrowed my eyes at them.

We were in Aidens office, Cassy stepped in with me, and not too long after, Aiden and Bob came inside as well.

This was a bad plan. I should've taken them to the library.

"Could I speak to my brothers alone for a minute?" I asked with a lating voice.

"No, what's going on?" He asked and came up beside me.

"Fine, we'll go somewhere else," I said.

"Wait, Gabby, what is wrong?"

"Maybe he should stay," Cassy said and winced when I looked at her.

"Or not, your decision," she said and turned her head.

"Gabriella, tell us what it is." Nick said sternly.

"Shit...okay, uhm," I squirmed a little and took a step to the side to create some space between me and Aiden. "Before I say anything; did you know?" I asked my b

brothers, hoping they

they would understand. But each looked as confused as the other.

"Are you okay?" They asked and looked at me warily.

"I'm fine, but I talked to the witch," I said and looked at Aiden who grew taller and pushed his chest out.

"And?" He asked.

"This is gonna sound really weird," Cassy said.

"She told me about how my parents had a witch brew them a potion many years ago. A potion that would hem my abilities as a werewolf."

"Continue," Nick said and stepped closer. I felt like it was getting harder to breathe and having all these people around me was like having the walls closing in. "The potion had another element in it, a poison that was activated when extracted from my bloodstream. When Asher raped me, It went into him," I said. Aiden's chest was rapidly rising and falling from his rigid breathing

"Asher only has six months to live," they all looked at me in disbelief. Cassy cleared her throat and looked at me, wanting to tell the other part as well. I ran a hand through my hair and looked at Aiden but he had already connected the dots.

"They wanted to kill me." He said.

"Yes,"

He nodded his head and turned to my brothers.

"That's what they meant," Noah said and furrowed his brows. He clenched his jaw and raised his fist, slamming it into the bookcase.

Everything shook and some stuff fo

fell down on the floor. We all stood silently around him. He turned back around and looked at us. There was a fire in his eyes and his face was turning red. "They told me to learn with Nick, to learn to be an Alpha. They said that a day would come when a pack would need me and I had to

be ready."
