Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 107: Coming To Conclusion
Ronan and Sabrina welcomed Ophelia with warmth when she reached the Nightwalker pack, Ginsburg. They knew how empty and disheartened she was about the issue with the man who impersonated the late Finlay.Sabrina had never seen her sister look completely broken, not even when Finlay was buried and she was banished from the Crimson Paw pack. This Ophelia was utterly different, judging from the way that she behaved.Sabrina led Ophelia into the castle. She had her crown over her head and seemed very much confident that Ophelia couldn't help but pause and wonder how her sister who had been a crying mess two months ago, was now very settled and happy. It was certain she and Ronan were in love, despite the eight years ago between them.Ophelia could still recall how her younger sister was against the marriage and totally afraid because she felt Ronan would be mean to her, but then got completely smitten by her and came to be a good man to her, right after their marriage. The two had fallen i

"In four days, I'd have your head pinned on a spike so birds would feast on it." Cestus folded his arms across his chest as he stopped in front of Cameron's dungeon. As usual, he had two guards beside him."I'm not yours to kill, Cestus." Finlay turned from the wall he was facing and met the spiteful gaze of his half-brother."But you impersonated my late brother," Cestus had the corners of his mouth curved upward, showing Cameron that he was satisfied upon seeing him there."And I ruled better than he did, better than you could ever," Cameron stated boldly because it was the obvious."You have no right to speak to me this way. Considering I'm a free man and you aren't." Cestus then went ahead to chuckle after mocking Finlay's current position, "it gladdens me to see you locked in here, after sending me to suffer in the walls of East landing.""Let's not speak of how your eyes refused to turn red when you were chosen as Alpha, how will you be able to deal with that?" It was Cameron's

"We need to look for a way to release Cameron," Ronan said that evening when they all sat down for dinner."Why?" Ophelia looked at her brother-in-law."You don't want him dead, do you?" Ronan put his hand on the table as he looked from his wife to Ophelia."Of course not. But I can never be with a man like him, after everything he has done." Ophelia clasped her hands together on top of her thigh."That was before he came to you, he was a good man to our pack. A loving husband to you, even though he lived a lie the entire time." Sabrina smiled at Ronan upon having him speak of Cameron like that."It doesn't change anything. A man's past speaks a lot about him," Ophelia's tone was sharp as if wanting no room for argument."Your sister told me you're pregnant." Ronan carried on, after serving himself some kidney pie."Yes," Ophelia responded and let her gaze meet Sabrina's which was already fixated on her."For Cameron Snow," Ronan kept his fork town and intertwined his fingers together.
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 110: Strangers Or Not?
Goosebumps rose in Ophelia's pores when she saw Cameron wearing rags and was still in chains. His face was blackened with dirt, and she could tell he had been starved as well. He was the man who had impersonated her late husband, deceived everyone in the Crimson Paw pack, and impregnated her, after making her let her guard down for him.Her heart quaked in her chest because she felt remorseful over this. Her first instinct was to run her hand on his face and wipe the dirt off it. But she refrained from doing so.Cameron still possessed the same powerful aura of an Alpha. He didn't bring himself down even though he was in rags and chains, no. Instead, he held his head high and looked at her with his blue eyes.And then it dawned on Ophelia that she still loved him very much. It was shocking how she still felt the same way for him, after knowing his real identity.Ophelia didn't expect that she would get affected by his presence. But she didn't and she was fighting against the urge to s
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 111: Together Again
"Why do you even love me?" Ophelia questioned Cameron, staring at him through her tearful gaze. She couldn't help but ask, because she felt that there was nothing special about her to have him love her this way."I don't know Ophelia and I cannot make it stop even if you loathe me," Cameron pointed out, something which was the truth. He could never lie to her about his feelings."I do not loathe you. Even when I wanted to,""But I am loathsome. Impersonated Finlay to take over his pack and possessions. To have you," Cameron didn't know why he was going this far, perhaps because he wanted to see if she would lash out her anger at him."And I thought I was chased by the Alpha who Loathed me, at first," Ophelia breathed out before rubbing the side of her arm. A die-hard habit of hers."Finlay loved Elodie and I could never understand why, when you were there in front of him. So innocent and pure," Cameron said this after taking a hard hurtful gulp. This has always crossed his mind and it
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 112: Feelings Never Die (Mature)
"Let's head to Westleton, I already have a ship," Ophelia's voice was cranky when she told him this. She couldn't believe she was a sobbing mess because her feelings for him never wore off. In fact, it was more fierce upon seeing him so broken and vulnerable right in front of her.She didn't mind that he stank, looked completely different because he was stained with dirt. He was still very much the same to her. Cameron's large body trembled because Ophelia was still hugging him from behind, she had her arms secured around him as if, if she let go, he would vanish into thin air. It was still hard for him to believe she had sent men to come rescue him and still accepted him for who he was despite his flaws.It made tears brim to his eyes and tightened his throat with several emotions. "Alpha Bailey would attack the Crimson Paw if he learns of my escape. They're not safe anymore, your parents and my half.." Cameron stopped before he could go further. He was close to revealing that Cest
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 113: Caught Again
Cameron and Ophelia woke up the next morning and were found everywhere dead silent. It was as if all the men had left. Ophelia made to stand up but Cameron wordlessly told her not to, with his hand on her wrist. Slowly and carefully, he peeped outside the tent through the small parting and then he hardened his jaw before returning his gaze to Ophelia."What is it?" Ophelia ensured her voice was low when she asked. It was almost in a whisper."Whatever happens, make sure you don't come out," Cameron told her in a firm tone, and then he left without casting her one last glance."Well, well, well. If it isn't the impostor who has decided to wake up from his joyful sleep," this remark was made by Cestus when Finlay walked away from the tent to meet him. He had arrived with his men and they had beaten Spanner and his men, before tying them up and then gagging their mouths.Cestus and his men were able to track them down through the horse's four prints on the road. It was to show how Cest
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 114: The Truth About His Identity
Ophelia was utterly disturbed the rest of that morning. She couldn't even think straight because she had so many thoughts clouding her mind.It was just too much for her to handle, to watch Cameron being led away like that. The man who she had come to love and cared for in a way that she couldn't even fathom.She couldn't eat even when food was made and taken to her. She was just seated on the flattened grass, the exact place she had been when Cameron was led away by Cestus and his guards. Cameron was powerful, he could have killed Cestus and his men because he belonged to a deadly group before, but he didn't hurt anyone. Only threaten to do that if they hurt her. He had been considerate, he let them take him away like an obedient servant.Ophelia hadn't uttered any words, just sobs that tore out of her throat from time to time. It felt as if Spanner and his men didn't exist around her.The fact that she was starting to know him, love him for who he was without caring about his past,

Six months later…Cameron was tense the entire time he heard Ophelia's screams from her room. She had been in labor for three good hours, and he was starting to feel unsettled the entire time. Pacing to and fro with his hands right behind him and his lips in a thin grim line. He was a powerful man with exceedingly great might, feared and loved by many because he led men to war in the south, past the seven treacherous seas. But there he was, trembling like a culprit who was sentenced to death. And it was all because of his wife.No one had any idea Ophelia would be in labor that day. They had woken up beside each other, had breakfast together, and gone to take a look at the new packhouse that was being built when Ophelia stopped walking and told him her water just broke.She was rushed into a carriage and taken back to the castle, through a gurney because she couldn't walk. The contractions seemed to be coming. Cameron had never seen Ophelia look so scared in his life. And it made him
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 124: Starting Now
Men were carrying Cameron's unconscious body through a gurney and Ophelia was beside them, running along because she feared for his life. This was like the third time they had been through into such a position, except it was way worse. Cameron had never been beaten and injured like this before.Ophelia swallowed hard, not wanting to cry because it would make her seem weak. She wanted to be strong for Cameron because she strongly believed he would survive.It was all over, with most of Alpha Bailey's men dead and a few running off because Ronan and his men had come to join the unexpected war. Ophelia's eyes caught something that made her steps falter and the men who were carrying Cameron's body left her. It was Lewis, who was over the floor next to a few dead bodies and fire. She looked completely exhausted with blood gushing from her stomach and mouth."Lewis!" Ophelia dashed toward her side and gathered her head in her hands. She didn't even know when she did it, because seeing Lew

Ophelia wondered if the gods were against her having happiness to her fill. She had suffered in making everyone discover that Cameron was Finlay's twin and he was the rightful heir to the Alpha throne. Then she proceeded to tell him that she was pregnant, only to have Alpha Bailey show up in the middle of it all.She bit down on her bottom lip from where she was hiding behind Cameron. Because the man who had killed his twin had come for him too."I told the members of this pack that you're mine to kill," Alpha Bailey kissed his teeth as he took another step toward Cameron whose wolf was starting to surface because he wanted to fight."It seemed as though you're Finlay's twin after all and you want to claim his throne, take his woman as well,""This face is the last thing you'll see before you die a horrible death," Cameron growled and immediately took the form of his wolf before lunging at Alpha Bailey.Alpha Bailey shifted too and went crashing into Cameron, something which made Ca

Ophelia ran after Cameron upon seeing him leave. She couldn't understand why a cloud befell his face after the truth was out and everyone had bowed to him. She had expected him to be happy at least. But he surprised her and every one by walking away as if everything meant nothing to him.She caught up with him before he could reach the gate that had guards already bowing to him.Cameron.. she tried to call his name but her voice wasn't giving out. She had lost it after shouting a lot in the courtyard because of the explaining she did.And Cameron stopped because her hand had grasped his elbow. He wanted to be away from everything and everyone, and there she was.Ophelia's heart rose in her chest when he turned and let his tearful eyes meet hers. It made her emotional to see him like that because she knew why he was like that.She knew it had to do with her explanation to the crowd and she hated the fact that her voice wasn't working. This man deserved so much more than he could ever
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 121: Alpha Cameron
The following day.Cestus had a wicked glint in his eyes as he put his hands together and in front of him, watching the crowd pouring into the courtyard wearing their cloaks because it was snowing. They had come to witness the killing of Cameron Snow, the man who had impersonated Finlay, his late brother and former Alpha of the Crimson Paw. It was dawn, and nearing nine. Cestus had an under butler holding onto a clock beside him, whilst he waited. He wanted the time to hit nine and then he would order for the execution of Cameron Snow. Hamilton, the head butler was perplexed. It was clearly written on his face that he didn't want the death of Cameron to take place, be him an Impostor. So many of the servants were unsettled as well because Cameron was good to them. The best Alpha they ever had. Elder Adolphus exchanged a glance with someone in the crowd and the man nodded at him. No one knew what these two had planned.Cestus kissed his teeth and fixed his gaze on the heavy wall cl
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 120: Evidence
The journey to Kathleen's home was quicker than expected. Ophelia and the people who had accompanied her reached there within five hours. And on the outskirts of Silverline pack sat a small cottage that looked like it hadn't been occupied by the presence of a person in ages. To think Kathleen had lived there because of her hardheadedness. Her refusal to let her pride down and settle whatever quarrel she had with her husband. No one knew what had happened between the two, but it did seem like a huge fight which was the whole thing that made them part ways. A dull pain spread through Ophelia's chest as she hopped off her horse and neared the cottage because Cameron had lived there as a child. As a child who had no clue that he was an Alpha's first son and heir to the Alpha throne in the Crimson Paw pack, Easton. "Wait," Lewis stopped Ophelia upon seeing how she was about to make her way in, "you wouldn't know what is inside waiting for someone. Catidy perhaps," she pointed out beca

After spending the next day in search of the midwife, they found her at last. Through some wolf-less beggars along the way. Thankfully, Ronan's men had arrived so Alpha Caden couldn't send his men after then. Lewis Duncan had come in handy at the right time. She and the rest of the men were asked to wait outside whilst Ophelia was ushered in to meet with the aging woman who had gray hair and could barely see. Lady Leslie lived alone even though she was old and needed support. It seemed as though she was a thoughtful woman because she looked in Ophelia's direction for a long time. "I was told that you came to see me," she said at last, after staring at Ophelia to her fill. "Yes, my lady," came the response from Ophelia. "May I know who you are?" Lady Leslie inquired almost immediately. "I am Ophelia, my lady. From the Crimson Paw pack," Ophelia answered, rubbing the side of her arm as she looked around the small room. "Why are you here?" Lady Leslie asked quickly once more. O
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 118: To Her Rescue
Ophelia struggled to break free from where she had her hands tied to the bedpost. She was in the chamber of the cruel Alpha Caden, on top of his king-sized bed. And it was exasperating to the bone that he had his men tie her to his bedpost because he wanted to have his way with her. Ophelia knew she couldn't let him touch her, it was insane. She belonged to another. Was carrying the child of Cameron. She had come to the Silverline pack because she wanted some information that she could gather as evidence that Cameron was Finlay's twin and the eldest. The rightful Alpha of the Crimson Paw pack. Alpha Caden made his way into his chambers, with that sick smirk never leaving his face. "You'd make things easier for yourself if you stop struggling. Because it'd be of no help to you, I'd have you either way," Alpha Caden smiled sickly at Ophelia. At last, he would have her to himself. The beautiful, beautiful woman. She had caught his eyes even when Finlay was alive. But he had kept his
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 117: Locked In
Cameron wondered if Ophelia was safe, wherever she was. He didn't trust those men she was with, they could try to take advantage of her upon seeing she was the only woman in their midst. He didn't like that she would feel alone, he wouldn't be there to protect her if someone wanted to touch or hurt her. But he had to let Cestus's men take him away because he had an ulterior motive. He was in his old dungeon once more, the place he had been freed from barely twenty-four hours ago. Ophelia didn't waste her efforts to bring him out, they had met and made up. It was a good thing to happen. The thought of Ophelia sending men to come rescue him still baffled him. How in the seven hells was she able to convince those men into sneaking into the Dupree's castle to liberate him from where he was locked in? Ophelia was brave since he went to Easton to impersonate Finlay. She started coming out of her shell the night she took a boat and sailed after his ship because she wanted to be with him
