CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE | THE NARRATION NATHAN“Tell us every single thing that happened," Caleb orders Alena. I don't like how he addressed her, but I understand that he is desperate to find his mate. Once Alena informed me that she knows where Cara is, I called Caleb over to listen to what she had to say. I don't have the right to hide anything from him, he has the right to know about everything that happened to his mate.“Where should I start?" Alena asks, nervously scratching the back of her head, slightly scared of the way Caleb is talking to her. I take her hand and squeeze it lightly, smiling at her in reassurance. She has always been scared of him. “Nathan informed me that you were placed on a chair because you could not stand on your own due to your broken leg. You disappeared not long after. How?" Taking a deep breath, Alena squeezes my hands before talking. “I was waiting for my mate when a young lady came over to me. She introduced herself as Cara, the Beta's mate, and
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR | COMING BACK NATHAN “My dad let me go," She whispers. “Damn it!" Caleb exclaims. “Why the fuck would he let you go?" He growls. I give him a warning look, mind linking him to behave himself. I know it must be very frustrating for him, but it is not my mate's fault that she was released. Caleb runs his hands through his hair in frustration. He turns to the door of the hospital, acting like he wants to leave, but then turns around and moves to stand directly in front of Alena. “Tell me something...anything." He desperately begs. “I...I...I... don't know what to say to you." Taking deep breaths to calm himself down, Caleb looks into Alena's eyes with determination. “Okay, let us start from here. How did Caleb King let go?" “He just came into the cell, forced me to swallow something, and the next thing I knew, I was in the same forest I got lost in when I was still a rogue." “Why the fuck would he let you go?" Caleb asks again. Alena shrugs in reply. Not s
CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE | A SLICE OF THE PAST NATHAN“I know where Caleb King is." Doctor Alex declares. The knife drops from Caleb's hand and his mouth opens like a fish out of the water. “You do?" Lucinda squeals, bouncing on her toes like a little kid in a candy store. As for me, I just blankly stared at him, knowing that he is lying. To know a liar, you look into their eyes. Looking into Doctor Alex's eyes makes me know that he is lying to us. He is only trying to make us let him go. His shaky hands, bouncing leg, and twitchy nose is also a giveaway. Usually, Lucinda and Caleb would know that he is lying already, but they have been blinded by excitement. Lucinda can not wait to end Caleb King's life and Caleb just wants his mate back. “Where is it, you have to tell us," Caleb growls. “I will, but first, you have to promise to let me go once I tell you Caleb King's location." Doctor Alex responds, smiling in hope. “Yeah, we will let you go. This is probably the best news I hav
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX | SET UPNATHANWe couldn't go to check out the Old Diamond pack until the next night because I wanted to watch over my mate and make sure she was fully well. I spent the rest of the day with my mate, making sure she was safe and comfortable.I noticed something weird about her though, she was always looking straight ahead, oblivious to the world around her. When I asked her what was wrong, she replied that doesn't know who to follow, her head or her heart. She refused to say any more after that. I tried reading her emotions, but couldn't, I couldn't even feel any fucking things from her. It felt like our mate bond had been broken. I would have pressured her into telling me what was wrong, but I was too worried about today's mission to do so. The next night, Caleb, Lucinda and I led some of our well-trained and trusted warriors to the old Diamond pack. If it was up to Caleb, we would have left last night, but as the Alpha, I didn't allow it. I know Doctor Alex l
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN | CAPTAIN OBVIOUSNATHAN“I knew it would end up like this." I huff, raising my hands in the air dramatically. “I don't think this is the perfect fucking time to talk about what you knew and what you didn't know. If your dumb ass notice, we are fucking outnumbered." Caleb whispers harshly. “The only reason I won't beat your damn ass up right now is because I know you are fucking heartbroken. The next time you speak to your Alpha in that manner, he'll be having your head for breakfast." I growl, my eyes switching colours. Caleb rolls his eyes at me and scoffs, before frowning and gazing at me weirdly. “Did you just address yourself in the third person? That is fucking creepy bro." The growl from our side stops our oncoming argument. Caleb starts panicking immediately. “Fuck, bro! Shit! Goddessdammit! Fucking hell!"I roll my eyes at his behavior, thinking that it was absolutely unnecessary for him to curse so fucking much, but assessing the situation, I couldn
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT | CHEATING BITCHNATHANI am fuming, my hands clench into fists. The urge to punch something...someone consumes me and I dig my hands into my skin until it bleeds to stop me from killing someone. My heart is pounding, and I feel like am about to explode. My vision is tinted red, and all I can think about is hurting them. My rage-filled eyes shift from Carson to Alena. I honestly don't know the person I want to hurt first. “Oh, I see you are here cuz...why the hell are your checks so red? And why do you look like you would enjoy killing me and dumping off my body for Lions to have a feast with?" Carson asks playfully. I thought I was furious before, but the anger I felt before is nothing compared to the anger I am feeling now. His words, his face, his attitude, his presence in my room, and his entire existence is making my blood boil hotter than the sun right now. “I am going to fucking kill you," I growl. Carson laughs at my words, probably thinking that I
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
