Alpha's One Night Bride
Alpha’s One Night Bride – Chapter 68

Melissa hadn’t slept in the same bed with Rock since Emily arrived. Rock didn’t mind it though because the thought of sleeping with Melissa was nearly repulsing to him now. He didn’t even particularly like sleeping with Emily either, but he knew it drove Melissa crazy because it was happening under their roof.

For some reason, driving her mad pleased him.

However, once Arina gives birth, Emily will be going on her way, and he won’t have anyone under their room to sleep with. This means he’ll have to have Piper over a lot more often.

Now Piper was someone he genuinely enjoyed sleeping with. She was young, beautiful, flexible, smart, and sexy. Plus, she can keep a secret without losing her head. He liked that about her; he liked that he could trust her and talk to her about anything and everything.

When he first met Melissa, he thought that she was kind of like that too. He liked how young, beautiful, smart, and sexy she was. But then she went ahead and did the stupidest thing a mistress could do.

Kill his luna.

It ended up being a messy situation that needed a lot of cleaning up and covering up. But once everything was cleaned up, he married her because he knew that’s what she was after. Piper wasn’t the kind of wolf to murder another; at least not without a second thought and a strategic plan in place. She was much smarter than that and he admired her for it.

Rock has noticed that Melissa has been even more off since Ronnie left to join Arina and the others. It was from his understanding that she mated with the Alpha from Onyxfang; his name escapes him, but Rock never trusted him.

It appears Ronnie has been avoiding Ironclaw lately and Arina seems to be backing out of the contract as well. It angered him because he needed that baby more now than ever. He finally received a high enough bidder to take the baby; this man lives across the world in a large manor. He needs a new slave and would like one he could train from scratch. He wants this slave to eat, drink, and breathe slavery. He wants slavery to be the only thing this person knows which would make him or her the most proper slave.

That particular country is huge on slavery and often searches for younger children because they can be easily molded into whatever their masters want and need. Once they got word of there would be a new Davis bloodline born soon, the bidding began. The Davis bloodline proves to be the most valuable and worth the most money.

They were bidding billions of dollars for this child and Rock finally settled the deal not too long ago. Now all there was left to do was get this baby delivered and send it off. To stop Arina and Jonathan from coming after him, he was planning on spiking Arina’s water or something with wolfsbane and killing her almost immediately after giving birth.

Anticipating Jonathan to fight, he was planning on just ripping Jonathan’s throat out with his teeth and anyone else who stands in his way. As long as the baby gets out and gets sent to that man, he didn’t care what happened after that.

Somehow that reminded him that he needed to check on the other women he was keeping in the underground bunker to make sure they were all taken care of. It was Emily’s duty, as Rock’s private doctor, to care for these women and tend to their needs.

He only had a couple of women in the bunker at that moment, but he worried that they would eventually tear each other’s hairs out.

Sometimes women drove him insane.

A small knocking sound brought him back to the present moment; he was surprised to see Piper standing at his door. She appeared breathless with beads of sweat rolling down the nape of her narrow neck and dripping down on the cleavage of her breasts. She wore a black blouse that hugged her body in a way that made her breasts pop. Her jeans were tightly fitted and showed off her perfect curves.

He got hard just looking at her.

Melissa wasn’t in the current area, but he knew she was somewhere in the house. Not that it mattered; he was still pleased to see Piper. But confused as to why she was there.

He stepped aside for her to enter.

“She’s not pregnant anymore,” Piper breathed; it was obvious she ran all the way there.

Rock cocked an eyebrow up at her, confused at what she was saying.

“Who?” He asked, almost impatiently.

“Arina,” she told him.

He frowned.

That couldn’t be possible. Arina wasn’t due to have her baby for another few weeks and Emily wasn’t notified of her going into labor. She couldn’t have given birth by herself and as much as Arina kept breaking the contract, that was a huge one to break. She wouldn’t have done that if she wanted Emlin’s box so badly.

“Impossible,” Rock said in return.

“I saw her with my own eyes Rock,” Piper said, holding onto Rock’s arm.

He looked at her hand startled and then met her eyes; she was serious. Something about the way she was gazing at him told him that she was being completely serious.

“I was in the woodland forest. I might have traveled a little too far west and stumbled upon their territory as I walked down the side of the riverbank. I heard someone coming, so I ran and hid in the forest. It was a wolf I’d never seen before. She had blonde and light brown fur with silvery highlights and…” she went on to say, Rock held a hand up to silence her words.

“That’s not Arina. She only has blonde fur,” Rock told her.

She shook her head slowly.

“No… she…” Piper tried to say again, but Rock held up his hand again.

“Enough Piper!” He hissed to hear.

She pouted; he found her pouting oh so sexy and he wanted to bite her l*p until it bled into his mouth. The thought of her body entangled with his made him horny.

“She transitioned from wolf to human form…” she spat out.

His frown deepened as he stared around her flawless features; she looked utterly worried.

“What?” He said, his tone darkening as he continued staring at her.

She swallowed hard.

“I saw her human form. She transitioned. I’m telling you; it was Arina.”

“That’s impossible,” he breathed.

It couldn’t have been possible.

“I don’t know. But I knew I needed to come here to tell you. If she’s able to transition, it means she’s no longer pregnant. Meaning she either lost the baby or…

“Had the baby without telling me…” He finished in a breath.

She nodded slowly.

If it was true that Arina gave birth already without telling him, that must mean they somehow figured out what he was planning and are trying to keep the baby from him. That would also explain why Ronnie has been avoiding Ironclaw as well.

But how would they have figured something like this out?

Unless somebody told them. He stared at Piper, almost baffled. Could she have told them? Could she be working for the enemy? How could she have betrayed him in such a way?

Watching his face change drastically, he could tell she was getting nervous by her awkward stance. She took a step backward as he took a step towards her, breathing through his teeth. He could feel his anger rising into his face and reddening his features.

“You told them…” he spoke in a low and threatening tone; his words leaking through his teeth and nearly spelling out the word “death”.

“What?” She breathed, startled by his words and his tone. “No… of course, I…” she tried to say.

“Don’t lie to me!!” He barked at her, making her flinch.

“I’m not!” She shouted back in a quivering tone.

Without hesitation the back of his hand went across her face, making her fall to the ground. She stared up at him with a terrified expression as he went in to slap her again. This time b***d trickled down the side of her face and her cheek grew puffy from the impact.

“Please stop!” She cried out; her body was trembling.

Throwing himself on top of her, he grabbed onto her throat, cutting off her air supply. She choked out as tears ran down her face, mixing in with the b***d on her cheek. Her eyes bugged as she realized there was no escaping his wrath.

After a few moments of watching her gag from the lack of air, he released her because he wasn’t done playing with her yet. He reached down and played with the waistline of her pants; he pulled her pants open and slid her jeans down her thin legs.

She struggled for a few moments but quickly realized there was no use. He was pleased that she wasn’t wearing any underpants. It was exactly how he liked her. He propped himself between her legs, keeping them open as he released his e******n from his pants.

“Rock…please stop,” she cried out but was muffled out by his hand covering her mouth.

He slid himself into her with force, moving in and out of her. The tightness of her v****a only aroused him that much more. She felt warmth and her body was delicate as he continued jerking her body across the floor.

She was trembling and tears were running down her features; he fed into her fear. He wanted her to fear him more. He pressed his fingers against her throat, cutting off her air supply again; she gagged out looking for a breath but when none came to her, he could feel her looking strength and losing hope.

“Rock!!” Melissa’s voice cut through the living room.

She was running towards him with a look of horror on her face; he ignored her.

“Get off her!” She cried.

She attempted to shove him off, but he jerked his shoulder and made contact with her chin, nearly knocking her off his feet.

“If you kill her, we’ll have to hide her body. You don’t want that mess. Not again,” Melissa pleaded with him.

She was right. He hated when she was right. He couldn’t afford to have to cover up another murder. Especially with someone he’s been sleeping with and seen around town with.

“Rock, please,” Melissa continued to plead. “Let her go.”

After another moment, he finally let her go and slid off her. She was unconscious but she still had a faint heartbeat.

She was going to live once she woke up.

“Get her breathing again,” Rock ordered Melissa as he stood to his feet. He adjusted his pants to cover himself and stormed out of the room and into the kitchen.

He had almost lost his mind by almost killing her. He needed to get his head straight and he couldn’t waste much more time. He needed to come up with a new plan to get that baby and he was going to need to bring in some extra reinforcements.

He knew of one person that would be able to help in this situation.

Taking out his phone, he dialed her number.

“I thought I told you to never call me again,” Nikini’s voice spoke low on the other end of the line.

He grimaced at her tone; she was the only woman who he allowed to speak to him in such an ill manner.

“It’s an emergency,” he told her, keeping his voice equally low so Melissa wouldn’t hear.

Around that time, he heard the heavy heaving of Piper as Melissa brought life back into her. He sighed, relieved that she was alive.

He turned back to his phone call and spoke again.

“Arina had the baby. We need a new plan.”
