Alpha’s Betted Bride (Gabriella)

Chapter 14

CHAPTER 14 Marie. Is fumbled forward and hadn’t realized how much of my weight was actually leaning on him. “F*ck,” i cussed and draged a hand over my face. changed my clothes and went out to meet up with “Are you ready for your tour?” She asked as she stood and waited by standing there talking to her as I walked down. Marie nodded her head to e door. An Omega was mething and the girl took off. “I’m ready,” I said and smiled. A car was waiting for us outside and one of the warriors I presumed, opened the doors for us. “I thought we’d take the car in, I’ll show you around town and then we sense of the place.” She said and waited for my reaction. “Sounds good,” I said. alk back. Give you a whole roads and less woods. You This pack wasn’t much bigger then my own back home. We just had me had to walk for a bit before you came to the woods and could run around in your wolf form but here it was everywhere and it stretched for miles. The car stopped and we got out. There were a lot of people out, shopping, eating and just existing. They looked like they were having a good time and the cliques I had seen earlier in the dining room had dissolved. Everyone was hanging with each other. We walked to the edge of the town which ended by a road. In between were about four miles of woods. As we stood by the road I knew that this was where the car had driven up when I first arrived. “This goes to the neighboring town which is about thirty minutes away and then connects with the main road.” We walked back through the woods and came out by a stream with a little step-over bridge into town. There were boutiques, cafes, restaurants, jewelry stores and much more. They had everything

here. “Most of the kids prefer going to the mall where there’s more variation but yeah, we have all that we need here.” She said and looked around. They sure did, but then again I understood the appeal of going to the mall. Everything was gathered in one place and they had a lot more stores in different brands. Something for everyone. Plus the food court which was a blessing of its own. “Hey, Gabby,” I turned my head and saw Cassy walking toward us. She had her work clothes on and her hair was tied in a perfect ponytail. “Hi,” i said when she came up to us. “Marie,” she said and bowed her head in respect. 1/4 CHAPTER 14 “It’s good too see you, Casandra. Heading to work?” She asked. “Yeah I have the night shift, I end at nine if you want to do something later,” she said and looked at me. My silence lasted for too long and I could tell that things were getting awkward. “Yeah, sure,” Casandra resalead a visible breath and picked up her phone as it rung. “Hello?” She said and I watched as she started chewing on the inside of her cheek. Her eyes fell and her head hung. “Thank you for letting me know,” she said and hung up. Casandra pled the phone away and pulled her shoulders up to her ears. “I’m not going into work anymore,” she said. join us on the tour?” Marie asked ar “Then maybe you would want to join us on the tour?” Marie asked ar automcaic response whenever new people got to close “Or better yet, why don’t you take over and show Gabby our pack?” S proud smile beamed on her face and I couldn’t quite tell what she was trying stiffened, stiffened, it was my bodies said and lifted her head, a

do. “If you want me to,” She said and looked at me. Oh hell. “Why not,” i shrugged my shoulders and smiled. “Great, I’ll just catch up on some errands and get some work done. Come with Gabby tonight and have dinner with us,” She said and walked away before Cassy could answer. We stood there looking at each other for an awkward minute. “Ready for the tour?” She said and offered a not-less awkward smile. “Yes,” I said and laughed. After two and half hours and one sto for coffee, had seen everything that the town had to offer. “Let’s see the rest of the grounds,” Cassy said and circled her arm in mine. I was also getting a one on one background check on the pack members. “That girl is Lisa, she and her friends are basically in charge of everything school related. Not parties or events but more the academic parts. Him over there, that’s Claus, he’s one of our best warriors and also in charge of training. Him and his friends are close to Alden and Cole, they’re often together, also, they’re douches. Klara over there in the brown short hair, she works over at the flower boutique, her mom owns it, she’s very sweet.” I furrowed my brows and seeing as Cassy had a pretty good idea about everyone here, I wondered, “What can you tell me about Cole?” I asked. 2/4 CHAPTER 14 “He’s a narcesistic asshat,” I waited for her to continue because that I already knew. She sighed an exaggerated breath and shook her head. “He searches for drama and conflict. He’s a great fighter and a great warrior, his position as Beta is, well, he will get the jobs done and he would die for his Alpha, as anyone would. He’s just not mature and if he can stir the pot or throw gasoline onto an already burning fire, he will. He’s not a good person. Him and Aiden have been best friends since they were little but whereas Aiden had a role to step into, Cole didn’t in the same way. He didn’t have the same expectations because he wasn’t

going to be the Alpha. He parties, sleeps around with anyone he can and loves to destroy people.” I could see the swirls of anger in his eyes. as she talked about him. “Have you slept with him?” I asked and Cassy clenched her jaw. She didn’t look at me but that was an answer in itself. “Yeah. When I was seventeen we were at this party and we dance led to another.” She said. “What happened afterwards?” d drank and had fun, one thing “He told everyone about it,” I furrowed my brows, there was more to story but she wouldn’t toll- about it and I understood. mex “So over there is where the warriors train, and down that path is a great trail that leads to the woods.. This is the garden where nobody really hangs, but down there is the park, you’ll see a lot of people there.” She said and winced. We had been walking around for hours, seeing everything and stopping a little here and there steered clear from the school though because the attached building which was communal was wh party was going to be. It was apparently an old house that had been converted into a all usage facili anyone could pay too use for different events. Birthdays, parties etcetera. “So, yeah. That’s it,” Cassy said and smiled at me. I looked toward the house and remembered Marie had asked Cassy join us for dinner. It didn’t make sense for her to walk home and then back here. “Do you wanna maybe do something?” I asked. It felt like I had completely forgotten how to talk to people. “Sure, let’s go to the gaming room,” she said and we walked in. “Wait,” as we were about to step in I grabbed her hand and she stopped. “They’re not there,” she said and smiled. I forgot that Cassy had her wolf, she could hear if they were there or not and thank god that they weren’t.
