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
Chapter 80Kendall’s POV“Let me go, Declan, don’t let them take me away.” I pleaded as the guard held my hands firmly and dragged me along.“What are you waiting for? I said you should throw her into the dungeon. Don’t let anyone get access to her, I’m the only one who can check up on her.” He ordered turning his back on me and walking away.I struggled to get out of the clutches of the guards and I ran to him and held his legs firmly.“Please let us talk about this Declan, let me prove my innocence to you. I’m being framed here, I would never do anything to hurt you. I’ll do anything to prove that to you just don’t let them take me away, I didn’t do anything.” I pleaded as tears fell freely from my eyes.The guards ran to me and dragged me away from his leg. He didn’t even turn to look at me one bit.I wondered if this was the same Declan I had known all these years or if something was wrong somewhere. The Declan I knew couldn’t even bear to see me in pain.Now even if I cried too b
Chapter 81Kendal’s POV“You have a visitor.” The jail warden declared opening the door and someone walked in.I wasn’t excited to see whoever it was till I saw Caden.“Kendal.” He called out and I rushed to hug him.“Caden, how? What are you doing here?” I inquired in shock. The last time he was here things were not this bad.Who told him what happened and how he got in here? Declandidn’t let anyone see me, no one at all so I wasn’t expecting any visitors here especially not him.“Calm down, you can ask one question after the other. Well, I get to walk in and out of every jail ward here. And you’re tough because Declan Made it clear that he doesn’t want anyone here. I just lied that I had his permission. You need to calm down, he is just confused and right now he doesn’t know what he is doing. “ he said in his usual calm tone.I smiled at his remark even though I was confused as to why he would risk himself to see me. He knew how Declan hated being defiled which was exactly what he
Chapter 82Kendall’s POV“Where are you going? It’s late and I can’t afford to let anything happen to you.” My dad beta stopped me as soon as I turned.Hearing his tone, I turned back and stared at him with a confused look.“Of course, I’m going in search of my mom and my sister. They are the main reasons that I’m here and since they are not here I need to go in search of them.” I explained Calmly with a soft expression on my face.There was never going to be home for me if they were absent. They were the ones I ran here to meet and I needed to see them at all costs even if it meant endangering my life.I couldn’t wait to tell my mom what had happened and to cry in my arms. I wanted to explain how I was pregnant and I wanted to make it a surprise for her but life has different plans for me.How Declan promised me a baby declaration to the whole pack and just Switched up on me. How he accused me of plotting against him and how he threw me in the dungeon.How I tried to explain myself
Chapter 83Declan’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about Kendal all day long.I was annoyed and at the same time, I had a strong feeling that I merely overreacted. I felt bad for judging her that quickly even if I’d promised her I’d never leave her.But I still saw no reason why someone she had no relationship with whatsoever would try to implicate her.I sank into my chair and buried my palm and pondered hard on what to do next. Just then the door knob turned and Olivia strolled in.I scoffed at seeing her because now wasn’t the right time for anyone to try and get on my nerves.“What do you want?” I scoffed with a frown plastered on my face.“What do you mean what do I want? I saw the frown on your face and I wanted to check up on you. I don’t think that’s a bad thing to do.” She whimpered with a fake countenance plastered on her face.I wasn’t even in the mood for any of this to be frank. I was perplexed and I was too tired to even reply to anything she was saying.I knew she was tr
Chapter 84Kendall’s POV As I walked through the forest which was dark and desolate, a lot of thoughts crowded my mind. I knew I was so bothered and things were happening too fast.I felt choked and sad and I couldn’t hide the disappointment of not meeting my mom and my sister here. I was so eager to run to her and tell her about how quickly Declan switched up on me.I was offended that they made such a decision to go and live with humans and they didn’t think it was necessary to tell me about it.I was all alone and I needed to find my answers all by myself. Everyone was away from me and those that were supposed to be by my side turned on me already.My head ached badly as I rubbed my stomach gently. My baby was the reason I was going to make sure I made it out of this.Life was so unfair and unpredictable at times, just a few days back I was making arrangements for the declaration of my pregnancy.It was among the arrangements that Declan came to me with the accusations he didn’t g
