Semua Bab Choosing My Own Mate After Rebirth: Bab 131 - Bab 140

HAILEY Over the past few days, I felt incredibly calm and poised despite the chaos that was brewing. But Carter on the other hand, was a worried mess although he tried so hard to mask but it was so obvious, especially with how he sought solace in my embrace, making me vow to do whatever it takes, at any cost to protect him. I didn't care how much it'd take out of me but something inside of me wanted to protect him with my life, and that'd do. While we sat in the vehicle with Xavier and Temmy, and Carter went over the plan, it felt like I was present and at the same time, I wasn't. It was as though I was floating in the realm of the spirit and eventually when we got to the destination, I felt a strong negative energy in the atmosphere and thankfully, Temmy confirmed it. Carter helped me out of the car and together, we walked in. By merely touching his hand, I could sense his fear that he tried so much to hide, and yet again, the feeling of wanting to protect him intensified. Once

HAILEYMy eyes darted around as I tried to find the familiar individual who was sending intense gazes my way."Didn't we both agree to relax?" Carter said, sensing how alert and uneasy I was, "You have put a barrier spell on us, so there's no need to be on alert.""The barrier spell does not block out the prying eyes," I commented, still searching for the culprit, "And how am I supposed to relax when someone is trying to stare a hole through the back of my head.""... Pick a partner and together, grace the dancefloor," I overheard the announcer say but I paid no heed to him."I'm bothered," I continued venting to Carter, "It's oddly familiar and when I look around, there's no one. I'm sure I'm not hallucinating."Carter didn't reply for a second or two as he relaxed into the chair, his facial expression contorting to a frown, "it's probably him," He said, looking behind me.But before I could get the chance to turn around to get a glimpse, Tristan came to stand by my side and with a s

CARTERI kept a close eye on Hailey and Tristan while they danced and I noticed how he tried to get close to her. Seeing him rub his body on hers got me extremely mad but I forced myself to stay put as I didn't want to cause a scene which could put us in a tight corner.I watched Hailey closely and noticed how she was getting angrier by the second, and I could only hope and pray that she remained calm until the end of the dance.But my prayers were left unanswered as she suddenly pushed Tristan away from her and gave him a tight slap, causing me to jerk up immediately.In the space of few seconds, a lot of people had gathered around them and murmuring filled the air. It got me anxious and worried but on a second thought, I tried to down play it.They'd probably think Tristan tried to harass her, right? I told myself and it wasn't far from the truth so I relaxed a bit.But the next second, Hailey was squeezing the life out of Maya, making me instantly panic. There was no possible way t

XAVIERThe second Temmy mentioned her mother, I instantly realized that the conversation had gone deeper than I was knowledgeable of, so I decided to give them privacy. And although I was dying of curiosity, I walked away. If it was something she wanted me to know about, then she'd eventually let me know.Once I had created distance between Temmy and I, the spell wore off, making me visible again."Xavier?" I heard my name, making me turn to the direction of the voice abruptly. "Malachi," I muttered with a frown on seeing who it was. "I knew you weren't dead! I had a strong feeling that you were still alive" He said, "You're too smart to die so easily." I didn't know if he was praising or mocking me but either way, I kept mute and let him finish, "I've begun to think you have nine lives because even after sustaining several life threatening injuries because of your way of life, you're still alive and kicking!"I frowned, wondering why Malachi would suddenly bring up our childhood a

CARTEROne minute I was with Hailey, and then next, she mysteriously disappeared from my sight."Hailey?" I called out, but I got no response, instead, my voice echoed into the darkness. It was obvious I was alone.I wandered around, scanning my surroundings to figure it out but then, I bumped into something that instantly dropped to the ground in a loud thud.On closure inspection, I realized it was a person. "Hey," I lightly shook the unmoving body to get a reaction out of it but nothing.To get a clearer view, I pushed the body so that it was facing upward and what greeted me made me stumble backwards in shock and fear.It didn't have a face as all the skin had been taken out, leaving just the skull and bulging eye balls. What was this place?Was I even alive? I ran my hands all over my body to make sure I was in one piece and I heaved a sigh of relief on confirming that indeed, I was still alive.Taking in a deep breath, I moved forward, glancing around and I discovered that I wa
