Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)
Chapter 69

CHAPTER 69

I drove down the main road for twenty minutes before exiting on a smaller road that went through two towns. The further I got even though it wasn't very far everything got more gloomy and depressing by the end the houses were wreckages and the laws were dried dirt. Some of them didn't have windows and I only saw about three people outside.

I took the small offroad path that led uphill and into the woods. Just as I was about to reach my destination I was met with a metal sign on the side of the road next to the gate.

"Do not enter!" That's cute. I drove in and stopped outside the little cabin which was about five minutes into the woods.

1 locked the car and stood outside, watching the dark windows.

"Hello?" I asked and stepped closer to the porch.

I took another step, trying to see past the cobweb and filth that had collected on the windows. I didn't see anyone in there or movements but she had to be there. Just as I took yet another step closer to the porch a fire lit up in front of me, blocking me from going

further.

"Can't you read?" Someone seethed and I heard the door opening up. The witch walked out on the porch and as the fire grew smaller and reached up

up to my chest I could see her and it was not at all what expected.

Our witch was old with warts on her face and a crooked nose. Her teeth were rotten and chipped, some were black and some pissing. She had a hump on her back and a whiskey-hoarse voice. That's what I expected. A witch. But who the *uck was this?

were

She took a step down the stairs with her hand placed on her hip. Her long brown hair was tied in a high ponytail and the highlights were hazelnut brown, glittering from the light of the fire. Her honey brown eyes reflected the flame and her cherry-colored lips were plump. The b*tch had perfect skin and a great body.

That had to be a spell.

"Well, can't you?" S

She asked when I hadn't answered.

"I read it but I need your help." Her brows shot up.

"Oh you do, do you. And that gives you the right to tresp*ss on my property?"

"Listen, I can pay you well. All I need is a minute of

of your time and then you'll never have to see me again."

"Why are you staring?"

"I just didn't expect you to look so-

"Hot?" She asked and grinned.

"Not what I was going to say." I groaned.

"How old are you?" I asked her.

"Twenty-four," she grinned and winked at me.

"And yes, that is my real age." She proudly stated.

She flicked her fingers and the fire died down, disappearing completely and leaving behind a little cloud of ash. She stepped

toward me and looked me up and down as she walked around me. I rolled my eyes and just wanted to get this over with. She stopped in front of me and looked me

in the eyes.

"What's the job?"

"I need a hex put on someone." I pulled out his picture from my-wallet.

She took one look and smirked,

"Cute, who is he?" She asked.

"It doesn't matter. Can you do it?" I spat as my patience ran low. Everyone would start to ask questions if nightfall. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Not if you won't tell me who he is and what the hex is that you want me to put on him."/

She was someone that had worked with Asher which meant she wouldn't care about the people it was affecting. She probably didn't even know them.

1 raised my head and stared into her emotionless eyes.

Just

her mere appearance was making me sick.

"I need a hex put on a member of the Halfmoon pack He's the son of an Alpha, one of the Santos brothers. He is currently residing in Alpha Aidens pack with his brothers." Something flashed in her eyes and she looked around the forest.

"Come inside. We walked into her house and she led me to the den

As she sat down and played with her fingers there was something smug in her eyes.

A knowing feeling th

that made my stomach turn-

"You know him, don't you?" She shook her head back and forth and clicked her tongue.

"I know of him. I know of all of them, all four siblings. Do you think Asher hadn't told me? Do you really think he didn't call to warn me that you were coming?" I was confused. How close were those two? Was this a mistake, me, coming here, if they are as close as it seems then maybe I just put myself in the danger.

"Exactly how well do you know him?" I asked her and leaned forward.

"You mean Asher? Oh very well. We've known each other for years, ever since he got with me for a while and we became close."

got kicked out of the pack by his father. He stayed

"Meaning you slept together?"

"Yes. But also by close I mean we are friends. He calls me when he needs something and I answer him when I feel like life has gotten too dull." She said and smiled. She really was a b*tch, thriving off chaos Asher said I would like her but I didn't. I just needed her help to get this done.

So you knew about his plans with Gabriella?"

"Knew about them? Do you think that dimwit could've come up with a plan like that on his own? I made them, I created the plan and

I told it to him. He was so deep in a swid of hatred and revenge I figured he might as well do something about it. He came to me after having assembled a pack of his own, a small one with a bunch of losers Strong losers. He said that he wanted his title pack and that he had heard Alden had taken a wife, he of course wanted her as well the greedy b*stard. Anything to inflict as much as possible upon his brother," "He wants Gabriella to hurt Alden?"

"At first, yes but then he saw a picture of her and practically drooled. Now he wants her for fun." She said and smirked. I had to admit that the plan was pretty impressive. And whatever it took to keep Gabriella away from Alden, I was glad for it.

"Why do you want to put a hex on her brother?" She asked as she toured us the coffee,

She pulled out a vial from a drawer and crushed herbs between her fingers before putting it in her cup. She was about to slide some into mine when my hand flew forward and covered the top. "What is it?" I asked her and looked at the green leaves floating on the surface of her coffee,

"It's mint, it gives the coffee a nice kick," she said and rose a brow looking annoyed, I removed my hand and she drizzled it down.

"The plan I made with Asher was that I would help him get Gabby and in return, I would get Aiden. I haven't gotten mine and it's because those brothers of hers won't leave the f*cking pack."

I took a sip. My eyes locked with hers as she drank from her coffee the same time.

She removed the cup and I drew my tongue over my lips, tasting the sweetness it left behind.

Her eyes searched mine and she tilted her head to the side. A cloud of uncertainty flowed in her depth and it was enchanting looking

into them.

"Are you sure you want them gone?" My body froze and my guards flew up and formed a shield. What was she getting at? She looked at me as the though she knew something.

"Why wouldn't 17"

"It seems like you're having fun in their company, with one of them at least," She said and raised her cup before putting it down. The leaves in my coffee had dissolved and a purple liquid was mixed in with the

cream. "What is this?"

"I'm a witch, sweetheart and from what I've heard, you can't be trusted. Betraying your own pack and Alpha, sending away an innocent girl to a monster like Asher just so you can get your hands on her mate. Why would I trust a girl like yourself?"

"This wasn't mint," I seethed,

"No," she said and laughed.

"I see things that you would never tell me. And that love you have, for Aiden, it will be your doom. He will never choose you. He loves her, beyond words and feelings and a bond, she has his heart in the palm of her hand and nobody else will ever be its owner." She shook

her shoulders and drew in a breath. My body was stale and I was seething. How dare she speak like that? Aiden was mine, the moon

goddess had made a mistake and I was fixing it.

"But I will help you, for a price of course."
