Chapter 178It took five guards to finally subdue Eric, pinning him down and chaining him to the cell. Bernard was long gone, even his wolf could not save him. All the alphas lined up in front of the cell, watching Eric with bewildered expression.“Why did you kill him?” Alpha Callus asked.Eric’s lips curved up into a grin, his hand in between the railings of the cell. “I don’t know. I hate betrayers. And he was one.” He said lazily with a shrug of his shoulders.Alpha Callus exchanged a look with the other alphas, shaking his head.“He tried to help you get your stupid deals.”Eric laughed out, interrupting them as they all turned to look at him. His laugh booked across the whole room, putting a raised brow on each of their faces.“Don’t try to play that stupid card on me. He tried to help me?” He scoffed out, sighing heavily and walking away from the gate.“Then he should learn to put it in clear words next time. I hate it when someone lies to me, or surprises me, because…” he pau
Chapter 180Stacey stared at the picture in her hands with widened eyes, raised brows and a disheveled mind. The woman in the picture bore a splitting resemblance to her, her facial muscles, her smile, everything about her was the same as hers. “Who….who…who is that woman…” she stuttered as she turned shakily to the priestess.The priestess watched her with a soft expression, her brows tweaking as she collected the picture from her.“She’s my friend. She was my friend before we lost contact after she married your father.” Stacey shook her head, unable to process the priestess words in her brain. The woman…the woman in the picture…“No. No. It can’t be…she can’t be my mother. My mother…my mother is not this…”“Has your father ever told you about your real mother? This woman here, my friend here is your real mother. If you chose not to believe, then that’s on you but I know it, and I’m sure the alpha knows it too.”Stacey’s eyes sprang to the priestess immediately, her brows raised up
Chapter 181Stacey was asleep by the time Ronan got back inside the house. His lips curled up into a smile as he stepped inside the room, seeing her curled up like a ball on the bed. He took his seat beside her wuietly and gently, hoping not to wake her up. He stretched his hand to her face, patting her hair softly with his eyes on her. “Ronan…Ronan is that you?” Her eyes sprang open immediately.The moment their eyes met with each other, and her eyes finally widened to see that it was him, she flung up from the bed, jumping into his arms and holding him tight. Tears welled up in her eyes, the result of everything already known to her.“We did it Stacey. We finally captured him.” Ronan muttered as Stacey’s grip tightened around him.As she disengaged from the hug, a big smile was plastered on her face, tapping his nose playfully,“I told you, we’ll win.”“It was an easy cake for us.”“Did you fight?”“Nope. I’m the commander of everything. I sat in the carriage and waited for them to
Chapter 182Ronan’s eyes did not leave Stacey even as he ate, noticing all her little actions and the way she shifted on the bed as he stared at her.“Stop doing that. I can’t see anything.” He said as her hand stopped on the jacket. Stacey blushed profusely at his words, covering herself back as she continued to eat. Ronan’s wolf growled in anger as he stabbed into his steak angrily. “You’ll have me after you eat.” She muttered loud enough for him to hear.“I better do.” He replied.They ate the remaining food in silence and Ronan’s occasional staring. “Can you pour me the wine?” Stacey asked, looking up at Ronan.“Pour it yourself.” Ronan retorted.The wine bottle was right in front of him, and he wanted her to stretch to get it. Stretching means her jacket would fall off and her breast would be exposed one more time to him. Stacey smiled back at him, climbing down from the bed and walking towards him. She took his plate from his hand, packed her plates too with the two glass cup
Chapter 183Instead of the bedroom breakfast he has planned for both he and Stacey, they finally had it on the dining table thanks to Lena who kept saying they could not leave her out now that she’s trying to cope. “Lucien is really awake?” Stacey repeated as Ronan said to her.“Yep. That stupid being is awake. I’m glad I woke up before him.”“Stacey…” Lena said abruptly, her eyes shining with mischievousness.“Do you think we should cut his arm out? Render him useless and…“His hand is out already. How about his legs?” Stacey replied too, their eyes both squinted at each other.Ronan’s eyes darted back and forth between them both, not knowing what to say.“No cutting of anything.” Ronan interrupted as he chewed on his food.“We need him to testify to all his bad claims, after that, you can both do whatever you want to him.” He replied, glancing back and forth between both of them with raised brows.“Do you understand?”Lena dropped her spoon, sighing as she gulped down her water.“L
Chapter 184Slamming the dungeon gate of the cell on both of them, Ronan took his seat in front of them, amusement in his eyes. The two people he has trusted with his entire life, in front of him but in a cell as traitors and the biggest problem he has ever had.He has purposely put them in the same cell, one whose hands were chained and the other with no hands and chained legs. They could not go close to each other. Eric has been injected with wolfsbane, suppressing all of his powers.“So…this should be interesting, should I bring your mother in and torture you in front of her?” Ronan asked, his legs crossed as he glanced back and forth between the both of them.Eric scoffed out, looking up at Ronan. His eyes were red from the immense torture of the wolfsbane, saliva dripping from his mouth and beads of sweat around his whole body.“Are you in pain?” Ronan asked with squinted eyes, deep lines on his forehead from the disgust he felt from staring at Eric.“Do you think you’re winning
Chapter 185After plenty of her silent crying, Lena finally fell asleep with the help of stacey. Immediately Stacey saw that she was sleeping soundly, she stood up and stride towards the door, leaving gently and quietly. She had just closed the door when she got the biggest jumpscare of her life, hissing out as she eyed him,“I’m sorry for scaring you. I was just waiting for you to come out. Is she finally asleep?” Ronan asked.“Yes. Yes. She is. And we need to talk.” She said after recovering and walking away from him. “What do we need to talk about? I thought everything was settled.” “Not everything is settled. We need to talk.” Stacey replied without sparing him a glance, walking straight to his study room. She opened the door and went straight to her chair, taking her seat while Ronan closed the door as he entered. Instead of taking his seat in front of her, he took the one beside her, turning her chair to face him as he stared back at her,“So what do we need to talk about?” H
Chapter 186The priestess narrated everything to Stacey, how she met with her mother, how they became friends and all the fun stuff that they did together. The happy times. She told her how her father was so madly in love with her mother, he cared for her deeply and greatly, took care of her and spent all his time on her.But the more Stacey dugged everything up, the more she found it hard to believe. The woman she grew up to know as mother never really had any interactions with her father. They mostly fought, yelled at each other and argued on things she had no idea about. It was always one thing or the other for the two of them,and with what she saw when growing up, they could never stand each other not to talk of loving each other.“I don’t know how she died, or when she died. I have no idea about it, but he loved her deeply and greatly.” The priestess finished to her, leaving her with a pool of tears streaming down her face.She stood up abruptly, dashing out of the house and insi
