Alpha’s Betted Bride
CHAPTER 46.
-Alden’s POV-
Come on, get off your ases The Warriors were up and fighting and they could rest when the sun went down
uting myself up thinking about how this could ve happened. I hadnt stopped to actually let everything sink in. My brother tried to kill me as a child and then tried to kill our father 15m being kicked out and the kidnapped my mate. And now he was coming

I was sure of myself and my pack but Asher was something else. He had no empathy, there wagnobody he loved more than himself and he had nothing to lose which made him even more dangerous
“Alpha,” Bob walked up to me. I noticed he had gotten a haircut. He usual thick hair that looked like a helmet was gone and instead,
he had a fade on the sides.
“Yes?” There was an ominous look in his eyes and he leaned his head back.
“It’s Cole, he wants to see you
“I’m busy,” I said and clenched my jaw. He bowed :

“How are they doing?” He asked me

He clapped his hands behind his back and straightened his back.

“They could use a firm hand.” I said and looked at Bob. He smirked and bowed his head, walking out on the field.
Bob
was one of, if not the best warrior we had. He used to be their trainer until he took over as a step-in Beta when Cole was stripped of his title.
I might make him the official Beta but that was a decision for another day.
It was second nature for him to push the men and the women to train harder. He taught them new moves and perfected their technique and nobody dared rest until they were told that they could.
My brows furrowed and I turned and looked at the house. Cole wanted to talk to me and I knew he’d apologize, beg and hope to retake his position next to me.
I nodded my head and walked back.
The guard opened the door and I walked into the dungeon.
It was filthy, a pipe had leaked so there was water covering the concrete floors. The smell of wolfsbane was strong but mostly contained to the cells. It smelled of rotten flesh and sweat.
I walked up to his cell and stopped outside, watching him sit with his legs pulled up to his chest and his back pressed against the wall on the floor.
He looked up and I saw the bruising on his face. The scrapes and the cuts. The wolfsbane was slowing down his healing by a lot. Down here, a werewolf was basically a human as their powers were stripped from the toxins entering their bloodstream.
“You wanted to talk.” I said. He pressed his hands against the floor and stood up.
He limped over to the burs and wrapped his fingers around them.

“You came,” he said in a raspy voice.

“You better start speaking or I will leave and you won’t get a second chance.”
“Aiden, I’m sorry. I…I really do feel bad for what I did to her, to both of them. To everyone. I-we haven’t been good people and we’ve been feeding off each other’s hatred and pride. We’ve all done terrible things but I swear by the moon goddess that I can, have, and will continue to change for the better. As you have.” I was searching his eyes. All of his walls were down and he was exposing his truest
emotions.
“I’ll have th
the
guard bring you food.” I turned around.
“Aiden please!” He screamed behind and started slamming against the bars.
The door closed behind me and I told the guard to bring him food.
I walked into my office and sat down behind my desk. The picture I had on my desk was of me, my parents, and Cole. I was thinking about changing it but I hadn’t gotten to that yet.
I held it in my hands and stared at it.

With everything that happened when I was younger, Cole was there for all
I was a carefree kid and I remember playing around with others like children are meant to. As I grew up I changed and became more violent, I still remember the anger I felt on a daily basis. I woke up with it and went to bed with the same amount of anger regardless of
how the day had been..
Before Asher started stepping in, it was Cole who pulled me away from the fights.
“Come on, get off him!” He was pulling at my shoulders

“Aiden, let go of

“I’m not done yet!”
“Yes you are!” He grabbed a hold and pulled me back, slamming me down on the ground. He leaned down with his knee on my chest and told the others to take their friend and leave.
“What did he even do to deserve that?” I looked at the guy being held up by his friends.

“What were you saying to her?” He asked me and grabbed my hand, pulling me back up.
For being thirteen and not an Alpha, Cole was strong.
“Lasked her to go to the light with me tonight,”

“You asked his girlfriend on a date?”

“I can do whatever the hell want.”
“Says who?”
“Asher,” he scoffed and stepped back.
“You have to stop letting him tell you things because that is not right.”
“What do you know,”
“You’ll see, one day. I think we all will,” Cole said and frowned.
I put the picture down and ran a hand over my face. He wanted ou but I couldn’t allow that. I couldn’t let him in the pack again, not after what he did to Cassy. He also betrayed me by telling Gabby about the bet.
Another thing that Cole had said popped up in my head.
“Hey baby, come over here,” the girl came over and sat down on my lap. Cole rose a b

and drank his soda.
“Come on, call one over. They’re like puppies, you whistle they come running,” I rolled my eyes and called over a girl for him. She came over and sat down next to him, batting her eyelashes.
Cole was looking her up and down and then placed some of her hair behind her neck. She leaned in closer and pressed his lips against hers.
When he pulled back he had a weird look on his face, He turned and looked at me.
“This is gonna bite us in the ss one day,” he said.
“What is?

“Playing god. This, the temptation, the power…it’s gonna backfire. You’re changing, we all are. And I don’t think it’s a good clenched my jaw and tightened my fingers around the girl’s waist.
“We’ll be fine,” I said.
