CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE | CONFUSING EVENTSNATHAN “How the fuck did he manage to escape?" I growl. “All the guards on duty were poisoned, they are all dead." Gamma Ralph answers nonchalantly. “How are you this calm? Over thirty of our guards...our family was killed, and you are this chill about it. You are not even angry." Caleb points out. “Unlike some people, I don't like taking my anger out on other innocent people. I reason, and strategize." He replies in boredom. Caleb and Gamma Ralph don't have the best relationship. In fact, I can say that they are enemies. The only reason they are still civil sometimes is because they don't want their subjects to find out about their bad blood. Till this moment, I don't know the real source of their hatred for one another. Whenever I ask Caleb about it, he says he won't tell me. Caleb believes that I won't believe him if he told me about it, he wants me to experience it firsthand. Wherever the hell he meant by that, I still don't know. “Y
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR | MISSING NATHANI blankly stare at Penny's face, before bursting into laughter. Is she for real? “Look, Penny, I know you have a crush on me, but you don't have to hate my mate for it." Penny furiously shakes her head, picks up the pen, and hurriedly starts trying to justify herself. “I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, Alena was the one who helped the rogue prisoner escape. She is not who you think she is." Caleb scoffs in disbelief. “Don't fucking tell me that you are also one of the bitches that are obsessed with Nathan and want to eliminate Alena." She glares at Caleb in response. I see someone has a nasty attitude. The boy, who has been giving us death glares since the moment we walked in gestures for Penny to hand the pen over to him. “She isn't lying, we saw Alena helping the rogue out. She was the one that cut off our tongues. They couldn't risk the rogue being caught, so he ran away after helping Alena to tie us up." He explains. “What i
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE | THE PACKAGENATHAN “What is wrong babe?" Alena whispers softly. “Caleb just informed me that there is a package for me," I respond. “So? Why the hell are you shaking?" She inquires confusedly. Hell, I didn't even notice that my hands are shaking. “I never ordered anything, Alena," I inform her. “So, I still don't get what the problem is. Someone might have decided to send you a gift. Why are you acting so scared?" “Let us just go," I say, already wheeling myself to my office. Alena takes control of the wheelchair instead and starts pushing me to my office. Caleb, Carson, and Gamma Ralph are already waiting at the entrance of the door to my office when I get there. Carson is chewing his fingernails anxiously, while Caleb is pacing. Too scared to open the package, everyone just silently stares at one another. “Isn't anyone going to open the box?" Gamma Ralph asks nonchalantly. “I was about to ask the same question. It's like we are sharing the same min
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX | SHOCKING REVELATIONNATHANI silently watch Alena as she laughs uncontrollably. “Are you done?" I ask once she manages to get her laughing under control.“I think the death of your sister is really affecting you. You've started saying shit." She chuckles. “I wasn't joking, Alena. I'm talking about the same Lila." I reply. “Oh really, so what you're indirectly trying to say is that we are siblings?" She chuckles, gasping dramatically. “No, we are not, she was..." “Wait, don't tell me we are step-siblings." She chimes in. She doesn't believe me. “No, we are not." I take a deep breath, knowing that what I'm about to tell Alena would break her. “Lila was not your Sister, to begin with. She was never a member of your family." Alena silently stares at me, then looks at the back. “What are you looking for?" I ask because she has been searching for something. “I am searching for who you are talking to of course." She simply states. “Go check my drawer, there
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN | MORE SHOCKING REVELATIONS ALENA I silently seat on the floor of the cell I was kept in, staring at the wall. I suddenly start laughing, finding everything that has happened very funny. I messed up big time. I had one job, one fucking job. Make Alpha Nathan fall in love with me and destroy him and everything he cares about. I failed, and I killed my sister in the process. I didn't even know that she was alive, I thought Nathan killed her with the rest of my pack members. If I knew that he never killed her, I would have killed him and taken Lila with me. I would have kept her away from everyone, from everything. Even my father. I don't know if I can even call him my father anymore. After all, he killed my sister, his own daughter. What kind of psychopathic father kills his own child just to get revenge on someone that wronged him two years ago? He had no remorse, no regrets. The bastard even had the guts to address the letter to me. Heartless bastard
CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT | THE FALLSSY PACKNATHAN Slowly, I leave the cell my mate...well ex-mate is kept in. I had to stop myself from running back and fucking her shitless. Stop myself from kissing her and comforting her. I know I shouldn't, but I can't blame her for everything that happened. It wasn't her fucking fault, she was brainwashed by her asshole of a father. “You good bro?" Carson asks immediately as I step outside the cell. I open my mouth to lie, but I can only say the truth. “I am not fucking fine, Carson. My mate killed my sister because she was following the order of her father who killed my mum. It's fucked up bro. The moon goddess obviously made a goddamn mistake by mating us." I wail. I don't even know when I began to cry. Shit must be hitting me really hard. “There is a reason for everything that happens, Nathan. Don't think about it too much. Good night." Carson says and leaves. With the look on Carson's face, I can tell that he's blaming himself for Lila'
CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE | THE LOVE OF MY LIFENATHANI pace back and forth in front of Fallssy's throne. Caleb and Carson's eyes watch me warily, concerned about what I will do. Confidently, Fallssy walks down from his throne with a cocky smile. A smile I want nothing but to punch off his fucking ugly face. “Nathan, my friend, I must say, your mate is absolutely stunning. I can't help but wonder if she would like to spend some time with a real Alpha like me. From what I have also heard, she is the sweetest thing a man can ever taste." Fallssy says, smirking arrogantly. My eyes narrow, my hands balling into fists. The atmosphere grows tense, and everyone holds their breath in anticipation of my next move. Caleb and Carson are probably expecting me to give in to his demands, and not get so worked up about his words. After all, Alena is a fucking traitor. “How fucking dare you? Alena is my fucking mate, and she has chosen me. Don't you dare disrespect our bond?" I furiously yell at him.
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,
