Chapter 123“What?” Lena asked, shock running through her veins as she heard what the maid said to her.The plates she had in her hand fell immediately, everything breaking as she turned back and rushed out of the room she was. Her heart beat rapidly against her chest, no, it couldn’t be. That man can’t be in this pack. She stopped at Ronan’s study room, barging in to meet Eric inside.“What are you doing here?” She asked with widened eyes.He looked like he was searching for something and with Lena coming in, he has been caught red handed.“The alpha sent me..“Cut it off Eric, Ronan did not ask you to come inside his study. Tell me, what the heck are you doing here? Why are you in his study and what are you looking for?” Lena asked, cutting him off.“I’m here on the order of your brother,“Is it until I ask you to be thrown into the dungeon!” Lena cut him off again, her voice getting higher.She walked towards him, eyes never leaving him until she was up-close.“I’ll ask you one more
Chapter 124Stacey released Lena’s hand as they got to her room, throwing her to the bed before turning to face her. “I want to know everything. Who’s that man? Why are you both getting worked up?”Lena sighed, falling down to the bed as she stared at the ceiling. She clenched her jaw, hearing Stacey walk towards her before a part of the bed sank in and laid with her on the bed. “Is he the one that killed your parents?” Stacey asked quietly.“In a way, yes.” Lena retorted.“Do you want to tell me what happened?” Lena breathed another heavy sigh, closing her eyes for a split moment before reopening it again.“He was my father’s most trusted person. He was like a second father to us, he cared for us, loved us. Ronan saw a second father figure in him.” She said before pausing. “He was the beta of the pack, and my father’s younger brother.” “So what happened?”Lena closed her eyes. Till today, she can’t say what exactly happened to him. Bernard was always contented, he taught content
Chapter 125“Are you calling me a betrayer Ronan? Is that what you’re aiming at?” Eric asked with a scoff escaping his lips.“It depends on how you reply to me, afterwards, the elders and I would see if you’re a betrayer or not. Any one you decide to go with.” Ronan retorted. Eric clenched his jaw, nodding his head and returning to the chair he was seated on before. Another scoff escaped his lips as he closed his eyes, leaning on the wall.“For the past two months, you’ve left the pack without telling me where you’re going. According to my trusted guards…“Were you spying on me Ronan?”“You should keep any opinion of what he’s doing to yourself. And until he finishes talking, you should shut your mouth unless you’re asked to talk.” Lena butted in.Eric opened one of his eyes and rested them on Lena, he eyed her with that same eye, a low hiss escaping his lips before closing it back. Ronan smiled, asking Lena to seat down through his mind before continuing,“You were not at the neighb
Chapter 126“Ronan! Ronan! Do not try anything stupid! I’ll kill everyone who is important to you if you touch my mother!” Eric yelled out like a mad man.Ronan’s eyes twinkled with excitement, or amusement. He stared at Eric, the smile on his face widening.“My informant must have made a mistake. He came telling me that she’s your grandmother. Is the woman not old enough to be your mother? I’m thinking….” Ronan said, walking away from the cell and turning to face the elders,“Do you know that old and frail people would die at once? All I need is push her down mistakenly, and make sure she hits her head on a rock or something, and boom.” He paused, adding the voice effect of boom.“She’s dead.” He finished before turning to Eric whose eyes were now blazing with anger.He gruntted out, gritting his teeth together with his eyes wide open, “I swear to God Ronan, I’ll kill you if anything happens to her. I’ll kill everyone in this pack, even those that have no idea of anything!” He yelled
Chapter 127Lena’s head whipped to the back like a flash, her heart rushing to her throat and all the nerves in her body stopping at the sight of the person in front of her. She gulped down, shaking her head and taking some steps back. Her face was in absolute denial, not wanting to believe the same man that she has once loved, cared for and the same man that put her through series of torture was now standing in front of her with a knife on Stacey’s neck.“Hello, my little thing.” Lucien said, smiling towards Lena before moving forward with Stacey.Stacey’s heart was beating frantically on her chest. She gulped down, the coldness of the metal hitting her. All the elders stood up from the chairs they were seating, taking multiple steps back as he moved towards ronan,“You hit him one more time, I slit her throat. Try me.” Lucien warned again.Ronan stared at Lucien with a lot of emotions running through him. It has been years, years that he saw this same face that has haunted him in hi
Chapter 128The woman’s eyes darted from Lucien to Eric on the floor, her eyes widening as she screamed out suddenly. She yanked herself out of the guard’s hands, rushing towards the cell and gripping it bold.“My son! My son! My son!” She yelled out, turning back to Ronan. She rushed to him, going down on her knees immediately as tears streamed down her face.“I followed you here without hesitation, I did all you asked me to do! I did everything you wanted me to do. Please save my son. Please. Please save my son.” She pleaded, rubbing Ronan’s foot.Ronan was still in shock, she had heard her call Lucien by his name, and also him reply with mother. He glanced at Lucien whose eyes were still on the woman, this time blaring dangerously at her. Suddenly Stacey walked towards him and pulled the woman up,“We’ll save your daughter, but we need to get you somewhere safe first.” She said, looking up at Ronan who understood immediately.Lucien’s loud laugh echoed through the entire room, get
Chapter 129“Just give me the girl, and I’ll leave. I have no intentions of destroying your little pack either way.” He added.Stacey turned back, rushing out of the room and leaving Ronan with him. Ronan sighed, turning to meet Lucien’s eyes that were twinkling with excitement. His eyes went to Eric’s dead body on the floor, surprised that he was not even feeling a twinge of remorse for him.“Don’t worry. He needed to be taken out as soon as possible. He’s the kind of person they call, "green snake under green grass.”“And you? People like you are called what?” Ronan spat at him.“I don’t need to hide my true nature from anyone. I'm the devil of all devils, the alpha of all alphas, I kill as I want, and when I’m feeling like it, but him,” he paused and pointed at Eric’s dead body.“He’ll keep his true nature, biting you at your back stealthily and carefully and one day, he’ll reveal himself and the situation would not be in your control anymore.”“Is that why you sent Uncle Bernard h
Chapter 130Ronan disengaged from the hug, placing a kiss on Stacey’s forehead. “What’s wrong?” He asked, tucking her hair at the back of her ear and staring into her eyes.Stacey just held him, staring back into his eyes with a small smile on her lips. She didn’t know why, but with him she felt more content, all the fears she had when Lucien held her, looked at her, smiled at her and even called her was all gone.“What’s going to happen now? Eric is dead. Lucien is our captive. What do you plan on doing now?” She asked.Ronan sighed, peeling her hands off him and taking one in his palm. They continued walking towards the house, trying to think of what to do.“What do you think I should do?” He asked. “I think you should do something about Lucien quickly. If Eric was working for him, you don’t know who else in this pack is working for him. And we can’t trust anyone now, not the guards, not the elders, not anyone.” Stacey replied.Ronan’s brow carved as he remembered both Janiya and
