CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE | TRAGICNATHANI feel the room start to spin, and my vision blurs. My head is pounding, and my thoughts become disjointed. My stomach churns, and I feel a wave of nausea. I try to stand, but my legs are weak, and I stumble, gripping the table for support. My chest feels tight, and I struggle to breathe. I am dizzy, disoriented, and disconcerted. I know something is wrong, but I can't seem to figure out what. Alena starts panicking, also trying to figure out what's wrong with me. “Is it too much pepper? Did you choke? What the fuck is going on Nathan? What the hell do I do?" She cries. “I...I...I...who...who did you say made the food again?" I manage to ask in between violent coughs. “Humm, I don't...I don't know her name, but it was the same maid that I thought you were having an affair with. The same one I snapped her neck before trying to fight Lucinda naked." She hurriedly tells me. “Fuck! I think...I...the food is...fucking poisoned." I spit out. Alena
CHAPTER SEVENTY | GREAT RELIEF...RELEASE NATHAN I open my eyes slowly but close them immediately, the brightness of the room blindingly annoying. My eyes stay closed for a bit before I gather the courage to open them again. I look around the hospital room I was kept in, and the only thing I notice is that I am alone. Apart from that, everything is still the same as before, I guess I haven't been gone for that long. The fact that no one thought it was important to stay with me kind of hurt. What hurts the most is that my mate is not even by my side. Just then, the door of my room opens, and a fresh-looking Alena walks in. She is startled upon seeing me, and the smile that was previously on her face leaves the instant that she sees I'm alive. I can't believe she had the guts to be smiling when I am in this condition. If the case was reversed, I will never leave her side and would be angry at the world, not smiling like I won a fucking lottery. We silently stare at each other for
CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE | A FUCKING HOMEWRECKER NATHAN“My eyes!" Carson exclaims. Alena shrieks and falls...literally fall off me, leaving my dick exposed and dripping down with both our juices. Carson immediately drops his gaze on my dick, which I am not able to cover due to my inability to stand up. “Alena." I groan, hoping she will remember to cover me up. She is too busy blushing furiously to pay any attention to me. She's trying to hide under the hospital bed. Like the freak he is, Carson doesn't take his eyes off my dick for a second. “Wow! You didn't tell me you're this gifted bro. Your dick is so big and veiny." He says, still staring at it. “Freak! That's fucking creepy bro. Get your eyes off me before I...before...I..." “Before you what." He asks finally taking his eyes off my dick. Dammit! He knows I can do nothing because of my inability to move. “Anyway, I'm not here to admire the type of dick you have." He announces, moving towards me and sitting down on the bed.
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO | SECOND KILLNATHAN“Get me a wheelchair. I need to fucking move. Get me out of here!" I yell in panic. I need to go check on Alena. I need to go check on my fucking mate. “Dude, calm the fuck down. Let me go check it out. You are not fine enough to move yet." Caleb says, trying to calm me down. “Caleb, Get me a wheelchair now!" I order him. He bows in respect, noticing the tone of my voice. “Yes, Alpha." Two nurses rush into the room some seconds later with a wheelchair. With Caleb's help, I am placed on it comfortably. “Come here," I order the guard that rushed in to inform us about my mate. “Push it and take me to them." I point to the wheelchair. Nodding his head, he starts directing me and Caleb to where Alena is. “Oh, my goddess!" I exclaim once we get into Alena's room. Everywhere is a fucking mess. Blood is everywhere, even on the fucking bed. The most shocking thing about it all is the person lying in a poll of their own blood. Someone was kille
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
