Chapter 174Stacey stood beside the door, watching Ronan beside Lena, his hand in hers with a big smile on his face. Lena’s eyes looked tired with a bit of smile in it and a patch on her neck. Suddenly, her lashes fluttered, turning to Stacey and making her heart drop a bit.“Stacey…” she heard her call out tiredly.A smile bloomed on Stacey’s lips as she approached the bed, taking her seat gently on it as she smiled back at her.“Lena,” she called out gently, picking her second hand and clasping it with hers. “How are you feeling?” Stacey asked.The corners of her lips tugged upward, broadening the smile a bit as she fluttered her gaze back to Ronan. “I don’t know how to answer that.” Her voice was low, barely above a whisper. Stacey rubbed her hand carefully as the pack doctor stepped forward,“She’s still weak and might not be able to talk too much. It would be best if we let her be for the main time. Since the claws were close to her neck, some part of her voice has been damage
Night came quickly and Eric and his people were done packing. His mother stood beside him, watching him address the people. As soon as he was done, they all trooped out of the room with their bags, packing his too and going to the car. Eric was just about to step out when she grabbed his hand, halting him in his tracks.“Do you trust that man?” She asked.Eric clenched his jaw and briefly closed his eyes, “mama, we don’t have any choice right now. Since you couldn’t figure out anything, we can’t stay here. We have to go with someone that can figure out things for us.” He retorted, snatching his hand away from her and moving towards the door.“I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him in any way.” She said as he stopped again, a deep sigh escaping his lips.“And so what? So because you don’t trust him, we should stay here and keep hiding while those bastards take everything that belongs to me! Or what are you saying mother!” He almost yelled out.She slowly turned to him, her hands folded u
The ride to the pack Bernard was talking about was smooth, so smooth that Eric started thanking his stars that for the first time he didn’t listen to his mother. They got there before sunrise the next morning, the alpha already expecting them and settling them down.Some of the maids went to sleep immediately and the guards to rest. Eric’s mother did not wake up at all through the pack, almost giving him a heart scare.“Doctor, is she still okay?”He has asked for their pack doctor immediately they got in and they’ve provided him immediately even though the irritation and annoyance on the poor man’s place could not be concealed. He was sleeping when they had sent for him.“She’s fine. She should be awake soon.” He retorted, not waiting for Eric’s reply as he stepped out of the room.Bernard bowed to Eric as their eyes met, “when would the meeting commence?”“In the afternoon, you still have the opportunity to sleep and rest. Once it’s time, the maids would come set you up and the othe
Chapter 177Ronan was in his study room when a guard entered, bringing a scroll to him. He nodded to the guard to leave, making sure the door was already closed before opening the scroll. His eyes scanned the content quickly, no emotions displayed on his face as he continued reading. Standing up abruptly, he walked out of the door and mindlinked his guard, asking them all to assemble. “Get the elders for me in the meeting room immediately,” he added as he gave out the order. For days now they’ve been on Eric’s matter, trying to find where is and hiding. “Stacey,” he called out to his wife as he entered the room, finding her with some maids who were braiding her hair.“Excuse us,” he added as the maids bowed and walked out.He closed the door, walking towards her and giving her the scroll.“What’s this?”“Read it.” Ronan started pacing back and forth, his hand on his waist at each step he took. Stacey stood up abruptly, her eyes opened widely in shock and surprise.“They found the
Chapter 178“Ronan…” Stacey called out, glancing back and forth between the elders present and him.“I’m just going to the priestess house. Not like I’m running away. You need to calm down.” She muttered, gritting her teeth as the words came out.Ronan clenched his jaw, looking away from her and towards the elders. Pushing his chair backward a little, he leaned closer to her hair and muttered some words before taking his seat. Stacey shook her head before turning to the elders and waving them a good smile before walking out of the room. Ronan’s eyes followed her until she was out of sight, a lot of thoughts going on in his mind. What if she finds out? He closed his eyes, shaking the thought off his mind as he turned to the elders,“You sent it to us…“We have a problem and we need to decide immediately if we ever want to solve it.” He cut the elder off, passing the scroll to one of them as they started the meeting.*************“Ahh. I’m close. I’m close.” Eric muttered, spanking th
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
