Chapter 61


    CHAPTER 61.


    -Aiden’s POV-


    Gabby and Thomas were at the infirmary with Cassidy. She was finally beginning to heal and seeing


    the joy on Gabby made me beyond grateful for werewolves’ healing ability. She wouldn’t have been


    able to handle losing another person, especially not Cassy. And Cassy herself had been through


    enough pain, this all had toe to an end.


    “What’s the n?” Edmund asked when we yed a round of pool.


    “The n is that my brotheres for the title and then I kill him I said honestly.


    “And if you can’t?” I red at Edmund. That lit


    little prick


    ick didn’t know what to


    hat to keep to himself..


    “I will.”


    I just n


    mean that a guy


    like that who has been nning his revenge for years surely has backup ns that reach at least a


    mile. What if he has somehow found a way to make it harder for you to kill him?”


    “He’s got a point,” Noah said.


    “He’s a werewolf, like us, any and all magic he might have will be stripped when steps onto the


    pack. Our witch has made sure of that. And yes, he does have a backup n, that’s what the


    recruiting has been about. I’m sure that he has informed them to start a war if he can’t kill me. One


    way or another, my brother ns on killing me and taking over the pack.“


    The


    e guys stared at me, all of them knew this already but hearing it aloud made it more real. We were


    up against a type of pack we had never faced before. These people had nothing to lose and


    everything to gain which meant they’d do anything to win. I had to make sure that Gabby and Cassy


    were safely tucked away before anything went down..


    “I just want to make sure we’re on the same page here,” I said and ced the pool cue down on the


    table. Edmund looked up at me as he was taking a shot, he held the cue at his side and rested his


    hand on the table.


    “-Gabby will not, under any circumstances take part in this fight. Whether as a warrior or an


    observer. I will make sure she is safely inside the house when it all begins. I do realize that that


    might have to be by force and if any of you try to step in between, I will take you down too.” They


    looked at me, knowing full well that I meant business.


    Wouldn’t have it any other way.” Nick said and bowed his head.


    “Great, now let’s y, the sooner I win the sooner I can y against a real opponent.” I said and


    smirked. Edmund growled and his brothersughed. This kid was a sore loser if I’d ever seen one.


    I won the g


    game and punched my hands in the air. Just as Edmund tossed the cue down on the table in anger,


    the windows mmed shut around us. The drapes drew shut and the air grew heavy.


    We walked out into the hallway and saw the w


    down.


    witch standing there. The doors were closed behind her and she was keeping her head


    May I help


    p you?” I asked and walked up


    to her.


    “Alpha, how keen are you on keeping her safe?”


    “Who? Gabby?”


    “Yes,”

    “I’ll do anything to keep her safe.” I said and questioned her reason foring but I knew I couldn’t


    ask. She’d say everything she had to say in her own time. Rushing her only meant she would draw


    everything out and make it take a longer time.


    “Then I suggest you lock her away.” She said and removed her hood.


    “The fight has begun and she will be ying before anyone else.” She continued.


    “What do you mean?” I said and clenched my jaw.


    “As you will do anything to save her life, so will she to save all of yours. Given the choice of war or


    peace, which do you believe she


    will choose?”


    “She wouldn’t…”


    “Alpha, I am not here to tell you what will happen in the future, I am here to tell you what has


    already begun.”


    The doors made a creaking noise and we all looked at the person entering. Gabby walked in with


    her phone in her hand and a


    concerned look on her face.


    “Gabby, “What is going on?” Nick asked. The witch didn’t turn around, her eyes were locked on


    mine.


    “Oh, uhm, nothing,” she lied.


    “Gabri, look at me.” He said and stopped closer to her.


    “Who were you on the phone


    with?” S


    She nced down at the phone and then up at him in shock but she noticed the witch.


    “Ohe on,” she said and red at her.


    She rolled her eyes and licked her lips.


    “It wasn’t anything, it was nothing, let it go. Cassy’s doing much better,” she said, trying to deflect


    the conversation.


    I nodded my head and ced my hands in my pockets.


    “That’s good to hear. Why don’t you go get cleaned up and get some rest,” she hadn’t showered for


    days and she looked sleepy so a nap would do her some good. She nodded her head and smiled


    as she walked away. Gabby cast a wary look on her brothers but they didn’t stop her. Instead, after


    she had gone upstairs and we heard the door close, they turned their res on me,


    “Dude, what the f*ck?” Edmund asked. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    I averted my gaze and looked at the witch.


    “What can you do to keep her in the house?” I asked. Her lips pulled up in a half smile and she


    bowed her head.


    The next morning it seemed like things were getting back to their normal state, at least a little bit.


    Slowly but surely people were waking up, the breakfast was cooking, and everyone got dressed and


    went downstairs. We walked into the main dining room for the first time in a long time and sat with


    the other pack members. They all had different reactions to seeing us walk in but nobody spoke


    about it. My old Triends were sitting at a table, they looked up and watched as we continued to our


    table. Their eyes fell and they turned their heads but I noticed Sam wasn’t with them.


    I knew she couldn’t be trusted and I had this gut feeling that she was nning something. I was just


    praying to the goddess that the witch wouldn’t help her again.


    We sat down in eery silence. Everyone was on edge and felt the stares of our pack members. My


    parents weren’t here so it was r Gabby, and her brothers. I didn’t know whether or not Cole would


    be joining us.

    CHAPTER 61.


    Gabby looked at me, a small smile lifted on her lips and her brown eyes were gazing with a warmth


    I hadn’t seen in them in what felt like forever. Maybe I had never seen it before, I never really


    looked. But here she was, right by my side, marked and all mine.


    And I couldn’t ever lose her again.


    I turned my head and locked eyes with Nick, he lowered his head and I nodded mine. We both knew


    what was happening and soon, Gabby would find out too.


    “How’s Cassy?” I asked her. Gabby smiled and drank her coffee.


    “She’s doing better. Her dad texted me and said that she was healing well and should be out soon,”


    the joy in Gabby’s eyes was unfathomable. The deeper 1 looked and our eyes held contact, the


    more wanted to take her back her room and rip her clothes off.


    I slid my hand down her thigh and saw as she drew a double breath. Her lips parted and her eyes


    flickered down to my mouth.


    F*ck, this girl was addictive.


    I dug my fingers into her thigh and she closed her eyes and drew her tongue over that bottom lip.


    Someone cleared his throat and I looked at Edmund who continued coughing until Gabby tu


    turned around as well.


    “Oh I’m sorry, did I interrupt your forey?” He asked.


    “No, stop, shh,” Gabby’s cheeks med up with embarrassment. She red at her brother and he


    laughed.


    “What’s the n today?” Noah asked and stuffed his face with bacon.


    “Go after that s*n of a b*tch and kick his *ss, and by kicking his a*s I mean rip his heart out, break


    his neck, and c*ack his bones. And yes, all of those at the same time.” Edmund said and nodded


    his head.
