CHAPTER FORTY-THREE | CALEB KING NATHANHe is alive. Caleb King is alive. Fuck! “It can't be right, he can't possibly be alive. You killed him, we destroyed the Crest City Pack. How can he still..." Lucinda trails off. Her face scrunch up, trying to remember something. Something that we probably missed two years ago. “I saw Nathan rip the bastard's heart off, he is dead," Caleb says. The look on his face says it all. He also thinks Caleb King is Alive. He is just trying to convince himself. “This can't be right, we are missing something, I am sure that we are missing something... something very important." Lucinda begins to search the area, trying to find more clues. Trying to find something that would confirm our suspicions. I slam my fist on a nearby table, startling Lucinda, and thereby stopping her in her tracks. “Fuck!" I exclaim, running my hands through my hair in frustration. Complicated shit just has to happen when things were going great between me and Alena.
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR | CALEB'S MATE NATHANWe all swing to action, trying to make sure the spy doesn't get away. I hastily move to the back door, blocking the exit. Lucinda moves to the front door and Caleb enters into the diner. The fool spying on us must be an unprofessional spy, or maybe the universe is just against him or her.Why would a spy stupidly announce his or her presence? We stay in our spot until a high-pitched scream is heard. Lucinda and I leave out spot and rush into the diner to see what is going on. A young chubby lady is seen, standing directly in front of Caleb.She is staring at him like she just saw a ghost, and he is gazing into her eyes like he just saw a chest full of gold. Wow! Caleb just found his mate. And she is a rogue who was spying on us. We are all still, silently staring at them, wondering what the hell is going to happen now. Caleb seems to be in a trance and just kept staring at her. I look at Lucinda, and she has a really confused expressi
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE | CARA'S BROTHER NATHAN“I came to get my brother."She bursts out crying after saying this. I am greatly confused, not knowing what to do. Why the hell is she suddenly crying?Caleb immediately rushes to her side and starts trying to comfort her, whispering all sorts of things in her ears. Lucinda pats her back in comfort. I don't buy it. I don't buy her bullshit. She is just trying to get out of the shit she has gotten herself into. Caleb finally manages to comfort her and she stops crying.“Are you done?" Impatiently ask. “Don't start, Nathan," Lucida warns, already knowing what I am about to do. I ignore her and still go ahead with my plan. “Are you done with trying to fool us?"She looks at me, and I almost fall for her trick. She actually looks genuinely confused. “I don't know what you are talking about." She answers. I scoff, crossing my hands over my chest. “Do I look stupid to you?" I hiss. “Hummm...no? But you do look terrifying." She says.
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX | THE ROGUE KINGNATHAN “I don't know who he is." How the fuck doesn't she know who the hell her King is. I mean, she is a rogue right? Which means the rogue king is her King. “Are you fucking with us?" Lucinda asks, looking suspicious of Cara. Finally, someone has noticed that she is pretending. “No, of course not. Why would you think that." She answers meekly. “You said the rogue has a king, but you don't know who the king is, and you are a rogue. That sounds very suspicious to me." Caleb grumbles. Finally, the veil in his eyes has been removed. “I know it sounds like I am lying, but I swear that I am not." “How do you expect us to believe you when you can't explain yourself properly." I impatiently ask. We don't have time for the games she is playing. It is likely that she won't tell us the truth. I think that the best thing to do is to torture the truth out of her mouth. “I know it is hard to believe that I am telling the truth, but you have to." Luc
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN | THE DISCOVERY NATHAN “A guard let me in." I knew someone betrayed the pack. A rogue can't pass the borders without being seen. I am also very sure that he couldn't have single-handedly allowed rogues into our pack. Someone must have seen it and decided to ignore it. “Is it just one guard that let you in?" I inquire. “Yes, but some other guards were also there. They acted like they didn't see us. I think they were paid to let us in. All I had to do was say that I am with the rogue king." I knew it. Those greedy bastards. “Oh, my goddess! I can't believe the warriors would betray me like that." Lucinda growls. “What happened after you told them that they were with the rogue king?" Caleb asks. “They let me in and I pretended to join the others in fighting, but came here instead." “Let us go," I command. “Go were?" Cara confusedly asks. “To capture the guards and torture everything they know out of them." “Must all the solution to your problems be to to
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT | FLABBERGASTEDNATHANDoctor Alex's statements shock me beyond words. I lower my phone and double-check the number, making sure I am talking to the right person. The contact shows that I am truly talking to Doctor Alex. “Are you sure you have the right number?" I ask. “Of course." My brain still doesn't digest the crazy news I am hearing right now. I feel like I flushed my brain down the fucking toilet. I can hear the shit Doctor Alex is saying, but can't seem to understand it. “Miss Alena must have hit her head against something. She does not recognize her surroundings. She began panicking when she woke up and we had to force her to take sedatives to calm down." I try speaking, but I am unable to. Seems like my brain isn't the only thing that isn't working. “Are you sure you are talking to the right person?" I respond, not quite believing his words.“Yes, I am one hundred percent sure." I am shocked beyond words. In my entire existence, I have never h
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE | DECEITNATHAN“Hey babe." I greet, waving nervously at my mate. She immediately stops screaming, watching me like a hawk. “How are you feeling?" I ask. “Who are you?" Came her meek reply. I feel an ache deep in my stomach, and I turn away from her, attempting to keep my emotions in check. I thought the worse pain I will ever feel is watching my mum get killed right in front of me and not being able to do anything, but the pain of Alena asking who I am hurts much worse. Pulling my shit together, I warmly smile at her and move towards her bed. She shuffles backward, taking a needle near the bedside table, and points it at me threateningly. “Stay away from me. Don't come near me. I won't hesitate to use this in you." Where the hell did she get a fucking needle?I raise my eyebrow at her when I notice her hands shaking violently. I chuckle at her and take long strides toward her. “Put the needle down babe," I tell her. “Stay away from me you freak." She ye
CHAPTER FIFTY | THE PAST NATHANMaster? Who the hell is the master that she is talking about? “Which master Alena?" “The one that comes every Wednesday to give me oral lessons." She innocently responds. “What the hell are you fucking talking about?" I growl viciously. Alena whimpers, she scrambles away from me, and flinches when I tried to touch her. Great...just fucking great, all my progress is lost. “Please, try to keep your anger at bay, Alpha, you must not scare her. She is very sensitive and fragile right now." Doctor Alex instructs. Doctor Alex is still here? I forgot that he was even with us. “Could you kindly excuse us?" I say facing Doctor Alex. “No, you need to understand that Miss Alena is my patient, and she is unstable for now. I don't want you doing anything that would trigger her or affect her memories." He responds passionately. I love the fact that he is passionate about his job as a Doctor, but I am passionate about my mate. There's nothing more passion
