CHAPTER EIGHTY | SUICIDENATHANMy heart pounds in my chest like a relentless drumbeat as I grip the steering wheel tightly. The news of my mate's attempted suicide echoes through my mind, shattering the peace of the drive home. A wave of fear and anxiousness floods my senses, overwhelming me with a whirlwind of emotions. Fear, like an icy grip, seizes my entire being. It claws at my throat, making it difficult for me to breathe. Thoughts of losing someone dear to me again consume my mind, amplifying the intensity of my distress. I haven't even gotten over Lila's death, and this happens. The weight of uncertainty presses upon my chest, leaving me gasping for air. Anxiousness swirls within me like a raging storm. Restlessness courses through my veins, causing my hand to quiver on the steering wheel. The unceasing worry about my mate's well-being gnaws at my conscience, fueling a scene of helplessness. Every passing second feels like an eternity as I desperately want to reach out,
CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE | FORGIVENESS? NATHAN“Nathan?" Alena calls out. I squint my eyes at her suspiciously. “I thought you were sleeping? The Doctor said you didn't want to see anyone." I question. “Yeah, about that...I just wanted to see you." She says sheepishly. “What do you mean?" “I didn't actually take the poison, I just wanted you to come see me." She starts crying immediately after she says this. “Don't tell me you faked your attempted suicide?" I asked, quite shocked. “I am so fucking sorry, Nathan. I only wanted you to forgive me, I didn't know things would get out of hand." She confesses guiltily. “How?" I ask in amusement. Alena notices that I am not angry at her and smiles. “It was simple, all I had to do was pretend like I took one of the human's drugs. The guard saw me and immediately started panicking. It was extremely funny, I had to put all my acting skills into use." She explains, laughing at the memory. I won't lie, what she did was funny, and smart too.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO | POURING EVERYTHING OUTALENAMy pulse hammers against my skin as Nathan moves to the door and closes it while staring at me with his piercing eyes. “Tell me, babe, how do you feel after everything you have done?" He inquires. I know my answer should be that I feel guilty and horrible, but the only thing I am feeling right now is extremely turned on. “I asked you a fucking question." Fuck! If I thought I was wet before, I am definitely drenched now. I don't think the panties I'm wearing would ever dry after this. “I...I...don't fucking know." I barely manage to get my words out. Nathan scoffs and shakes his head, walking closer to me. Nervously and excitedly, I get off the hospital bed, standing a few steps away from him. “You have been helping your dad right? Do you know how many werewolves lost their family members for something they know nothing about? Do you know how many he and she wolves lost their mate? All because of being a daddy girl?" He mocks ag
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE | THE RETURN OF DELTA BENJAMINNATHAN“I can't believe you made them kick us out." Alena hisses, hitting me on the shoulder. “It was fucking worth it. The look of embarrassment on your face made me ignore the anger of the Doctor disrespecting his Alpha." I laugh. Alena looks around, and unintentionally starts fidgeting. The stares she is getting are making her uncomfortable. After our...umm...adventure in the hospital room yesterday, the Doctor kicked us out of the hospital and promised not to let us in unless it is very urgent. I would have been furious if not for Alena's reaction. We went back to our room after and continued with no interruptions. We spent the rest of the day in there and didn't come out till the evening of the next day. I think I have forgiven her, but my subjects hate her. I got a call from Gamma Ralph first thing this morning, informing me of Lucinda and Delta Benjamin's arrival. We decided to hold a welcome-back party for the Delta
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR | THE BLACK SHADOW PACKNATHANI invited some people over, there is someone you have to meet. “You said you just found out who my mate really is. I am not interested in meeting anyone, I just want to know the information you got about my mate." I respond. “It will make a lot more sense when they get here, just calm down. Alena is not who we think she is." Ben replies, slowly walking away from us. Oh, my goddess! What the fuck has Alena done again? If she killed someone else or has been lying to me about cutting off all the ties she has with her father, then I will have no choice but to kill her. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking. Nervously, I wait for Ben and the so-called guests, while Carson goes off to get properly dressed. Apparently, the new guests might come with his mate or even be his mate, he wants her to fall in love with him immediately. After waiting for half an hour, I become tired and bored. Seems like the guests are running fucking late.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE | THE TRUTH ABOUT ALENA KINGNATHAN “Leave," I order them. “Please, Nathan, hear us out." Queen Tess begs, her eyes watering. “You want me to hear you out? After how many years? You accused my father of kidnapping a daughter that never existed in the first place. Then, you helped Caleb King in kidnapping my mother and younger sister, raided our pack, and cut all fucking ties with us. You want me to hear you out, did you listen to what my dad had to say?" I whisper-yell. “We never helped Caleb King in kidnapping your Mother or Sister." Alpha Kade frowns. “You said you will do something we all will regret if we don't release your daughter in three days. Three days later, my mother and sister were nowhere to be found. That could not have been a fucking coincidence." Ben gives me a look that screams, ‘Stop acting like a petty bitch and let them talk.' In response, I give him the middle finger. “Look, I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, I had nothing to d
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX | FURIOUS...SAD...VIOLATED NATHAN Alena was also a fucking victim. Only the goddess knows what she went through in Caleb King's hands. This news can break her. “How am I fucking sure that everything you just told me is the fucking truth?" I whisper. “Have I ever lied to you? What would I or the leaders of the Black Shadow Pack gain from deceiving you? We both know that the resemblance between Alena and Queen Tess can't be ignored." I nod my head and silently leave the office, not saying anything. The only thing I am able to think about is the pain Alena must have gone through. She was never the bad guy, Caleb King was only using her, right from the fucking beginning. It is then that I remember Alena telling me something about her mother teaching her how to please men. Was that why they taught her that? So that she would be sold when she gets older. I am headed back to the pack hall to call my mate when I run into my mate. “Hey. The party was getting bori
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN | TRACKED NATHAN“Have you found anything yet?" I desperately ask Carson. “If I had found something, I would have fucking told you. Get the fuck off my back you piece of shit." Carson hisses. I don't blame him for talking to me that way, neither am I angry. If I were in his situation, I would have probably killed someone in frustration. We have been trying to track the bracelet down since yesterday afternoon. We haven't found anything. Since Carson is the only one that can handle a computer well enough to track something down, he had to stay up all night, while the others went to sleep. Of course, I stayed up with him...for about one hour. I got tired of watching him type meaningless shit and stare at kids' doodles, so I fell asleep. Carson was not one bit impressed with our attitude. He has been cranky and giving us an attitude since we joined him today. It isn't helping that I keep asking him if he has found anything every ten minutes. “I don't get this
CHAPTER NINETY | MISSING PIECE ALENAI am so glad that everything is finally over. At one point, I was scared Caleb King would kill Lila before we can stop him. We knew we would defeat him and his followers, but the fear of him hurting Lila and the rest of the pack members held us back. Even though Caleb King is dead, I still feel uneasy. I feel like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. Everything went so smoothly and easily...too smooth if you ask me. It was as if Caleb was willing to let us kill him. It shouldn't have been so easy to kill him. I asked Nathan to give me some time to think because one thing kept bothering my mind. Ben said someone already bought me before I was born, and the same person also bought Lila. Has the person given up on having us? The words Caleb King said to me while I was brutally stabbing him kept replaying in my head. He said, “Your enemies are always closer than you think." This means that whoever was helping him is a member of this pack.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE | HAPPY ENDING? NATHANWe all watch Carson try to stab Caleb King with a needle I'm guessing is already drugged. Somehow, Caleb turns at the right time and holds Carson's hands. Shit, we are all so screwed. Carson quickly recovers from his shock and hits Caleb King in the face. “We need to help him," Lucinda screams, already running towards them. To our surprise, most of the rogues don't try to stop us they pave the way for us. I see we all have a common enemy. Caleb King shoots Carson in the leg. Fuck! We didn't even know the psycho has a fucking gun. He points the gun towards us, swinging it left and right. “Don't come closer. Don't you dare, it takes me nothing to kill every one of you within seconds." “Where are my guards? Does fucking traitors. I should have sold you bastards." He screams at the rogues who cower in fear. I see what is going on. They are not willingly working for him, he has something on them. He roughly picks Lila's body off the
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT | THE PLAN ALENAWe have been waiting for the guys to come back for almost five minutes. They were never supposed to take this long. I don't know why they were not back yet. If I hadn't destroyed my and Nathan's mate's bond with humans drug, then I would have been able to tell if he is in danger or not. “Don't you guys think the boys are taking too long? They were only supposed to check if Fallssy is alive and find information from him." I ask Queen Tess and Lucinda. “They will be fine, Alena. Just calm down." Lucinda assures me. “But...what if, I don't know. What if this is a sort of setup or something?" “They will be fine princess." Queen Tess says. I nod my head at her, not knowing how to respond. I have been feeling weird around them since the moment I discovered that they are my real parents. I just can't seem to stomach the fact that I have been living a life built on lies. All my life, I thought I was Alena King, and then suddenly, I am told I am s
