Becoming The Alpha's Lover Chapter 139
MIA POVI left my bedroom and sat down at the lounge, looking out into the forest through the glass window. This was where it usually sat when I wanted to worry obsessively about something. I usually worry the most about Rhys, just like I am doing right now.I didn’t trust Jack’s visit, especially when Rhys was in a sour mood after that. I mean, sure, he wasn’t in a good mood the past few days, but Jack’s visit sort of escalated the whole thing. I didn’t like it one bit, and it even felt like he was speaking in code to me, asking if I had any secrets I wanted to reveal.What nonsense…I wanted to do something, yet I felt so helpless. There was this stinking feeling within me that things would go south if I didn’t react quickly. And by reacting quickly, I needed to—A hand covered my eyes. It was big and broad, completely blinding me. His scent drifted towards me, a scent I would forever recognize. A low humming started within me but I pushed it down, far below so it would not see the

ARABELLA POVIt was judgment day. It felt weird thinking about it that way but I couldn’t help it. An hour ago, a few guards had practically pushed me out of the cell to an upturned stage. It was the meeting place of the townsmen and women, come to decide my fate. Rhys looked at me once, and then away. He refused to meet my eyes after that, which was embarrassing to me. I knew if asked him to leave and never come back, but to see that he was actually keeping to it was depressing.The place was stacked with people, including the family of the deceased. Mia was sitting at the front row so she could snap support to her husband, even though the said husband was doing everything else but attending to her returning her waves. “Take her out!” Someone in the crowds screamed. “Take her out now!”They had meant to kill me. They would have done it if Rhys was not there. His presence softened the blow. They can’t attack me straight up when their Alpha was there, so they settled for screaming at

RHYS POV I waited until the crowd had dispersed before I turned to Arabella… Emma… whatever her name was. It confused me to the core, how so easily I could place her. If only she had not lied from the very beginning… if only she had not revealed her true identity to me even after lying…. If only she could cover her tracks well so I wouldn’t discover this deceit. Nevertheless, I couldn’t very well leave her after the statement she made earlier. She had been looking directly at Mia when she spoke about framing her for murder. “I’ll see the prisoner back. You stay here and oversee the rest,” I said to the soldiers as I led Arabella back to the detention center. She followed me silently. When we got to the detention center, I stopped in front of the cell so she wouldn’t go right in “We need to talk,” I said to her. She looked up with a dry smile. “What do you want to talk about, Alpha Rhys?” I ignored her jab and continued anyway. “Back at the restaurant when we saw that wolf, you

Third point of view.Diane was in a good mood. Everything was working out for her and soon, she’d get what she wanted. Who knew that working with the Luna had so many benefits? She was giddy with excitement just thinking about it. She cleaned up the theater and headed to another ward. The patient wasn’t in yet, which meant she still had time to herself. Not enough, but okay nevertheless.The door opened and a nurse came in. Diane looked back and recognized Susan as one of her colleagues. She was pushing in a sterilized tray for the next patient. They do this whenever a patient has left the room; taking time to sterilize every single piece of equipment before the cleaners can handle the floor.“Oh you’re here,” Susan said as she arranged the cart. “Did you hear what’s happening?”“No, I didn’t hear anything,” Diane answered, bored.She didn’t know why everyone was trying to make conversation with her in this hospital. If only they knew how important she was, how she was her new favorit

Third point of view.In all of her wildest dreams, Susan never expected that the murderer would be a medical personnel, let alone a mere nurse, let alone someone who she’d been speaking to just now. She had forgotten her phone, as always. She came back for it only to eavesdrop into a conversation she never should have heard. She felt disgusted and mad. Disgusted that it was her colleague, mad that she even denied it! How horrible could people be to kill others and frame another for it? She was utterly disgusted.Diane turned around and looked at her, then frowned slightly. “Just how much of my conversation did you hear?” She asked.Susan scowled at her. “Just enough to know that you’re the culprit and you’re working with someone!” Her voice rose at the end, so Diane waved a hand at her to hush her up“People will head you,” she said quietly. “Susan, this isn’t what you think, okay?”Susan laughed sarcastically. “I’m not dumb, Diane. I know exactly what I heard and what I think. Who a

ARABELLA POVThat nurse was not the culprit. I knew this deep within me. There was no way Susan would have pulled it off with Mia. She was too nice, too cool, too morale to do that. How had they pinned it on her just because another nurse said she was the one? To me, that particular nurse was the prime suspect. Jack had done his best, really, but it was only so much he could take. I could see the exhaustion in his eyes; he probably wanted to be home and done with all this bullshit. “Dr. Emma, can you hear us?”My attention reverted to Rhys. We were standing in front of the hospital once again, the townsfolk and the people gathered to hear us out. When he’d come for me that morning, I had silently followed with no opposition, thinking it would end badly. Who knew we’d be talking about discovering the culprit instead of deciding my sentence?“Yes, I can hear you,” I said solemnly. “We’re deeply sorry for everything,” Rhys continued. “We shouldn’t have been consumed by our anger and ca

ARABELLA POV I gripped Lily’s hands and held it to my chest. “How have you been? Did anyone torture you in my absence?” She laughed and waved me away. “You’re so unserious. Nothing like that happened. Just a few weird things but I’m fine.” “Lily.” “What? I’m only sorry that I didn’t get to visit you. I was kind of occupied with several things.” “Don’t worry about it, Lily. I’m out and fine now, so there’s no need to mop around looking like that.” She smiled at me, but it was odd. She looked too quiet and calm about the whole thing. The Lily I know would have asked me tons of questions. The Lily I know would have visited the hospital grounds and marveled at my release. Something was definitely up with her, but I didn’t want to pressure her. She’ll surely tell me with time if she wants to. Lily smiled again and touched the side of her hair. “Uhm… have you spoken to Rhys since he released you?” Was this what was bothering her? “I haven’t spoken to him yet,” I answered. “I don’t w

ARABELLA POV “Wait, wait, wait…” I said urgently. My brain needed to catch up with what he was saying. “Tell Alpha Rhys? Why do you have to tell him anything?” Simon’s breathing sounded harsh on the phone like he was running somewhere. It sounded like he called me while he was in the middle of an urgent task. “What are you doing, Simon?” I asked. “I’m halfway to the palace. I’m going to meet the Alpha—” “Are you crazy? Stop right there!” He stopped, stunned at the commanding sound of my voice. “It’s stupid to just barge in there with your claims,” I said to him, trying to control my rising heartbeat. “You only have the information, not the evidence. Besides, even if you only have the information, how sure are you that it’s true?” Simon kept quiet, his breathing reducing to a steady rhythm. I dropped the glass of water in my hand lest I broke it into shards. “Listen, Simon, I know you’re desperate and you want to clear your name—” “It’s more than that,” Simon interrupted. “He
