CHAPTER 77Keleigh’s POVThe guard opened the door to the dining table and my feet halted, suspicion creeping into me at the sight in front of me. I knew they were brothers but seeing the both of them like that, grinning ear to ear and hovering together reading one newspaper was still a shock to me. Their eyes turned towards me as I cleared my throat, settling back to their seats and pulling themselves together. Ryker stood up and approached me, a smile on his face as he took my hand in his.“Good morning, my lady.” The suspicions weighed heavier in my mind as Arnold stood up too, pulling out my chair for me as I took my seat. I glanced back and forth between them both, my brows raised up as I wondered what was going on.With a snap of Arnold’s fingers, the maids trooped in, serving the dishes instantly. The both of them sat in front of me and beside each other, their eyes on me with a smile huge enough to be enough for everyone on both of their faces. I gulped down, uncomfortable
CHAPTER 78Keliegh’s povI composed myself quickly, stretching myself up, “A ghost? Who?” Her lips curled up into a smile, “walk with me, Keleigh.” I heaved a deep sigh. When I needed her, she was not around and when all I wanted to be alone, she was here to torment me. At least she’s not calling me the abusive names or picking a fight with me again. I walked behind her as she started, “what about what we discussed together? Do you have an answer yet to it?” “What’s that?” I inquired with raised brows. “The deal. I’ll give you money and you’ll leave this place.”The thought came back to my mind, the deal I had thought to be a good one, to start all over. Ever since I slept off thinking about it, it hasn’t come to my mind again not to talk of pondering about it. And since Arnold’s revelation, I had forgotten I had a conversation with Selene.I never forget any conversation with her, or maybe it was just because she was particularly less violent and insulting in the last one.“I’ve
Chapter 79Selene’s POV.Everywhere went still with Arnold’s words, our eyes locking with each other. The eyes I once turned to for love, admiration, and courage now stared at me as if was his greatest barrier, and someone he wanted to throw off the road as quickly as possible. “If you ever,” he started again, the words dripping with menace at every syllable, “touch her again, I’ll make your life a living hell in this pack.” Tears welled in my eyes, glancing to see Ryker leading Keliegh away from me. Anger filled all the core in me as I rushed away to leave Arnold’s front and catch up with her. But he was too fast for me, gripping my hand and flinging me away. I fell to the ground the same time the tears dropped on my cheeks. The guard situated at the back where I fell too, took some steps away from me, as Arnold's large foot approached me.He crouched down, tears falling down my eyes as he stared at me with no emotion, “I don’t want you again, Selene. I thought I made that clear
CHAPTER 80 Selene’s POV.It was late evening as I walked out of my room, recalling Roman’s words on my way to where I was going.“Lay down and act nice my foot.” I have stayed inside since that same morning, eating and washing up, thinking and rolling over my bed on what I could do. And no one, not even the goddamned Roman himself showed up to check on me. I lifted my hands up to knock on Ryker’s door when it opened, revealing the grand master itself. His brows furrowed as he saw me, my heart sighing in satisfaction.I wanted him to be surprised to see me also.“To what pleasure do I owe this surprise, lady of the house?” “None actually. I’m here to discuss business.” His lips curved up in a mocking smile, eyeing me down, “and what business do you know that I do not know, Selene?” All my insides heated up with the way my name rolled over in his mouth. Selene. Urghh. This was the main reason I liked Ryker. Everything he did oozed sexiness, the way he walked, the way he talked, th
CHAPTER 81Keleigh’s POVI had just finished dressing up when a knock pierced the door, both my head and the maids head spinning towards the door. I signaled for one of the maids to go and open the door and stared at it.My brows earned a raise at the sight of both brothers, my eyes widening at what they were wearing. They were both in the same attire, their hair packed in the same way, leaving just little difference between them. Even though their resemblance was uncanny, I could still recognize Ryker to Arnold. Arnold walked towards me, taking out his hand from his back and revealing a small bouquet of flowers. “Good morning, princess.” He added with it.A small smile formed on my lips as I took it from him, my eyes finding Ryker’s instantly. “Good morning to you too.” Ryker walked towards us, a smile dancing on the corners of his lips. I looked back and forth between the two of them. They were acting up the same way they were doing yesterday morning.“What’s the occasion today
CHAPTER 82Arnold’s POVRyker’s hand moved to my thighs, gripping it hard enough for me to release the fork I was already nurdeding in my hand. She looked up to meet my eyes, a smirk on the corners of her lips. “And what is the essence of telling me this?” Keleigh said, as I glared murderously at her. “It’s nothing at all. I’m just letting you know. Who knows, they might just be with you for the essence of impregnating and running away or aborting for you.” She looked away from me and back to Keliegh, “didn’t you say as girls, we should look out for each other?” Heat steamed from my ears down, anger bubbling like hot lava wide inside of me. If Keleigh was not here, and Ryker not desperately wanting me to keep calm, I would have grabbed her throat and snapped it instantly into two. “And I appreciate you. But I don’t think either of your words are useful to me.” Keleigh retorted. My head turned to Keliegh and our eyes met for a quick second before she looked at Selene back agai
CHAPTER 83Arnold’s POV“I’ll say this one last time Selene, one last time to you,” I said, my hands wrapped around her throat as her eyes begged for mercy.“If you ever try what you did today again, it won’t be me just flinging you out of the room. It would be me making sure your existence comes to an end, and even if you try to run, I’ll find you wherever you go too, and I’ll destroy you.” I threw her to the floor, signaling to the guard to bundle her up as I walked back to my chair and sat down. “Fuck!” I cursed out, closing my eyes and clenching my jaw. Ryker was all right from the start, she was not worth it. She was just a piece of slut looking for her opportunity, not wanting to let go even if it was nothing about her again. I heaved a deep sigh and swallowed down, feeling heavy. My thoughts shifted to Ryker, who was mad as hell at me. He was always the good one. The better of the two of us, knew when to walk, when to talk, when to act. He was so fucking good. He never got
CHAPTER 84 Keliegh’s POVI was seated on the table with Arnold and Ryker in the evening, both of them feeding me like a baby. My face was full with smiles, happiness flowing in my heart like a stream of water. Arnold looked happy too, and for some reason, my wolf was happy with it.Perhaps they were my true mate after all. We were gisting and laughing together when Roman entered and the smile on my face died, replaced by seriousness as I turned to face my meal. I didn’t even meet his eyes but watched from the corner of my eyes as he relayed whatever he was here gently and quietly to both brothers.I could sense something was wrong at the sight of Ryker’s wrinkled forehead, my eyes squinting at him.“What’s wrong?” I questioned.He looked at me, his jaws clenched and eyes tended, “there has been a rogue attack again. We need to go on a trip this night to find why they keep attacking.”My spoon froze in the food, the same thought I had the last time washing over me again. Has he found
