Chapter 72Kendall's POVI went to Declan's room to see him for the 100th time today. It's been one whole week since the incident happened. I sighed sadly, wishing that he would just open his eyes and smile at me. I missed his smile and his captivating eyes. I would do anything at this point to see them again.Suddenly, the door to Declan's door opened again, and in came the doctor. The doctor gave me a small smile acknowledging me and I did the same."What's his situation? When will he come out of this state? His pack needs him, I need him. Please give me a positive reply," I said to the doctor.I guess the doctor could see the frustration in my eyes because he opened his mouth to speak but shut it again."Speak to me doctor, speak to me. I'm here carrying his baby or babies in my womb and the pack is almost falling apart in war. Tell me when he's going to wake up," I said, half-yelling at the poor doctor.I didn't mean to do so but I was so frustrated and unfortunately, he was the o
Chapter 73Kendall's pov.How on earth had the hospital management lost him?He'd just woken up from a coma for goodness sake.This was beyond ridiculous.It was almost funny to me.Tears began to stream down my eyes. I had already yelled at the hospital management for losing him. I was one step from calling a search party when I heard Declan's voice. I glanced up only to find him walking into the hospital and towards me, a smile on his face.I immediately stood up and ran up to him and began to punch him in his chest, my hormones, and all of the fear that rogues might have gotten to him coming to hunt me."Hey, hey, hey," he held on to my hands to prevent me from hitting him any further."Where have you been? Where the hell did you fucking go?" I cried."I just went for a run," he said with a shrug"A fucking run? Are you serious?" I glared."Yes, I woke up and needed some fresh air…""You are insane! You are trying to kill me, aren't you?""Of course not!" He said and hugged me tigh
Declan's POVMy entire being cooled to the damp press of Kendall's cheek against mine. A choked sob shook through her, a tremor that sent pulses of pain through me stronger than any punch I'd ever taken. My arms, which had been wrapped around her in the heat of the kiss, tightened. I pulled back, forcing a lightness to my voice that felt hollow. "Hey, hey," I murmured, brushing a damp strand of hair from her forehead with the pad of my thumb. They glinted off the tears clinging to her lashes, making her eyes look enormous and vulnerable."It's nothing," she mumbled, blinking rapidly, but the hitch in her voice betrayed the lie. "Come on," I coaxed, guiding her towards me. I needed to be clear-headed and understand what was eating at her.Kendall huddled beside me, knees pulled up to her chest. I hated prying, hated seeing the shade of resentment that sometimes crossed her features when I pushed too hard. But this wasn't about prying, it was about being a damn pillar for the gir
Olivia's POVThe news slammed into me like a rogue alpha at a mating ceremony.It was unexpected, leaving me breathless with a kind of anger I hadn't known I possessed. Declan wasn't dead. The silver and wolfsbane hadn't done their job. My carefully laid plans had failed.A feral growl ripped from my throat, a sound more suited to a cornered wolf than a lady of my caliber. But refinement was a flimsy excuse these days, barely concealing the hunger for vengeance that dwelt at my insides.For years, I'd nursed my resentment. Now, the truth sat on my tongue. It was a bitter pill refusing to be swallowed. He was alive, and the pack, no doubt, was celebrating their golden boy's return. The very thought of their smug faces infuriated me.They wouldn't celebrate for long.I wasn't the only one who felt the sting of their rejection. Others, who had been belittled also harbored their own grudges. I'd found them and fanned the flames of their resentment into a full-blown inferno.We were for
Chapter 76Declan’s POVI found it hard to concentrate on anything I was doing. All I could think about was Kendal. I didn’t want her to be bothered about anything but she seemed scared for something she wasn’t willing to talk about.I had a lot of business issues to cover because it has been a very long time since I attended to any business documents which have been constantly submitted to me.If I continue that way It is going to affect my company and everything I’ve worked so hard to acquire so I just had to make time for it and today seems like the only time I was going to have a very long time.But even though I wanted to get this done it was just very hard because I found it surprisingly hard to concentrate on what I was doing. I felt very restless as cold sweat trickled down my forehead.My wolf was restless and so was I. I kept on trying to focus time and time again on what was not forthcoming so I threw the paper back on the desk, sinking myself into the chair.Kendall was j
Chapter 77Declan’s POVAs I carefully unfolded the letter Caden had thrust into my hands, I felt a knot of anticipation tighten in my stomach. But as the paper lay in my hands, it became clear that there was nothing written on it. It was blank. My brow furrowed in confusion as I glanced up at Caden, who stood nervously shifting from foot to foot.“What is this, Caden?” I asked, my voice edged with frustration. “A prank?”Caden shook his head vigorously, his eyes wide with bewilderment. “I don’t know, Declan. When those rogues caught up to me, one of them demanded that I give this letter to you. There was nothing else, just the envelope.”My mind raced as I tried to make sense of the situation. The rogues had been a thorn in our side for months now, their attacks growing bolder and more frequent. But we had never been able to uncover who was behind them or what they wanted. This empty letter felt like a mocking message, a taunt from our elusive enemy.“Do you think this is some kind o
Chapter 78Declan’s POV“Why’s the mystery behind this? We have tried everything possible and there is still no answer forthcoming!” I snapped angrily slamming my fists on the desk.I was angered and frustrated at the unnecessary delay caused merely because I wanted to read through a piece of paper.I needed Information it entitled so badly and that was impossible to do. The language used was very hard to understand and it seemed like it was written in an ancient language or so.This annoyed me because I didn’t have the luxury of time to try out different options one after the other. I started to think it was more of a lie and there was nothing to find out.It seemed Impossible to read it and answers were not forthcoming. I felt stupid and it seemed like I wasted my time on nothing.“This is a dead end. There’s no possible way we can know what’s written here.” I muttered to Caden’s hearing.I was already so annoyed that I planned to give up on it already. This was just a distraction a
Chapter 79Declan’s POVHow do I know if this is authentic or if someone is just trying to get between the both of us? Deep down I didn’t want to believe any of this. I trusted Kendal and she loved me so much and I didn’t think she’d ever betray me.The thought of what Caden said ran through my mind once more. The person sending me these letters has no business with Kendall whatsoever enough to plan to frame her.She was my wife and she was my mate, I told her everything and I trusted her to a fault and this just wasn’t adding up.My heart started pounding at the thought that at the slightest chance, this might be true. It just can’t be! She can’t and she wouldn’t!She was carrying my child and I was supposed to announce her to the whole of the pack in a matter of a few days. I just knew Kendal couldn’t betray me, at least I didn’t want to believe she would.I heard a knock on my door and I ignored it completely. I needed time to organize my thoughts and I didn’t want to see anyone ir
