Chapter 32

Liam's POV

"How could you be so careless, Liam? You just lost your beta. And that means you are now alone. Betas are hard to replace. You had just one duty and that was to keep him safe." Alphonso growled angrily as he paced about the room.

I could see his rage swelling up and the disappointment that was also setting in.

I laid down on the bed as tears swelled up in my eyes. I felt this sharp pain digging in.

Mother was right, 'the Alpha came back to end it all.' I groaned as I wrapped my hands in a fist.

"I will make him pay!!" I cursed within as I shut my eyes.

“How sure are you that the Alpha was responsible for this?” Alphonso snapped as he looked at him.

“Then who could it be then? Huh?” I fired back in rage as I looked at him. “If only you had accepted to pass on your Alpha power to me, I would have fought back, I would have been able to defend ourselves.”

"How could you be that careless, Liam?" Mother whimpered as she looked me right into my eyes. "What now? Do you think the pack elders will want you to rule now? Huh? In as much as it is the destined duty of your beta, you also, in the same manner, owe him your protection." She growled.

"How was I supposed to know? Ophelia's name was clearly written on the back of the card. You know they are fated mates, so do you then expect me not to have it?" I said in defense as I rolled my eyes, trying my best not to break down in tears.

"The elders won't entrust the pack into your hands. Once you get better, I have arranged my private jet and also, I have funded your account as well, you will leave New Kingston for good." Alphonso whimpered as he turned away.

"I am not leaving. I am staying back and I am going to have that scoundrel pay for killing Pedro." I growled lightly as I clenched the side of my stomach as I felt an excruciating pain digging deep.

"Make him pay? You will only get yourself killed and wasted just like Pedro. If not because of you, Pedro would have still been alive." Grace scowled as she looked at me. "And because of this, they are definitely going to consider either Julian or even Rafael. They believe you are unfit to possess the Alpha's power.

"But… I… I'm not unfit. I am also a Bohen. And if my brother can't rule, so why can't I become the next Alpha to rule? Huh? Why can't I?" Logan finally broke his silence as all the eyes fell on him.

“I won't be leaving New Kingston, I was born here and this is where I will die.” I scowled as I angrily pulled off the thing connected to my body as I forced myself up but then.

I staggered as Logan hurriedly caught me amidst the hair. "Are you okay?" He supported me back on my feet as he looked at me.

"I am." I said as I pushed away his hands. "I just need some time alone!!" I groaned as I walked out of the room.

There was definitely no way I was going to let anyone else become Alpha when I was still alive. No way!!" I growled as I went to the top floor balcony as I got a better view of how beautiful and big New Kingston was.

"You must surely pay for this, I promise you!!" I groaned as I punched the wall hard till I bruised my knuckles.

"Are you insane? Control yourself, Liam!!" I scolded myself as I chuckled softly.

“The card is empty? No name and the coffee contained wolfsbane. Whoever was behind it is definitely clever. He was able to hide the smell of the wolfsbane.” The detective said as he gave my father a brown envelope. “Here is everything. I'm sorry, we can't help out here as we have nothing tangible.” The detective said as he walked away.

I felt the rage swelling up like my heart was about to explode. And now, the only face that came to my mind was that of Pedro and that scoundrel, that pathetic Alpha!! I growled as I walked away.

My phone rang several times as I ignored the calls. I was driving back to The Eleven where I first met. But then, this time around, I was going for something different. I knew he had a connection with the lady and when I do, I will make him feel every bit of pain I do.

Rex'S POV.

“Are you even keeping up with the news?” Clark scowled as he kept switching in between channels.

I continued with the magazine I was reading as something caught my attention, causing me to drop the magazine as I looked at the television.

“Is everything okay?” Clark asked as he turned to look at me.

“I remember this lad.” I groaned as I remembered who the lad was. “But…I… I never made it severe. It was just a light scratch to weaken him, not to kill him.” I mumbled as I got up from the sofa chair.

“I'm lost. What happened? What did you do?” Clark asked, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at me. “Who is he?” He questioned.

“He is related to the Bohen's family.” I muttered as I clenched my hair.

“Bohen again? How many times do we have left to get into some issues with their family?” Clark scowled as she looked at me.

“I had to save Elena from them. They had torn her dress already, they wanted to take advantage of her, and there was absolutely no way I was going to let that happen.” I scowled defensively as I furrowed my eye brows., locking my eyes with his for a while.

“But tell me, you have no involvement in killing him at the hospital?” Clark queried as he turned to look at me.

I remained silent as I furrowed my eyes. “Who could the killer be?” I gasped out as I got up from where I sat down .
