All Chapters of Marred by his Betrayal : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Alexis “I have news from Stormclaw pack, reaching me.” Lucas’ loud voice filled the room. He had summoned my father and me into his study room— every part of the house was controlled by him and my father made no fuss about it, much to my annoyance. This was the first time Lucas was seeking our presence in weeks. “What news, Alpha Lucas?” my father’s timid voice irked me. He wasn’t always like this. When I returned with Alim, he still had control over his house and guards. But over the months, his influence had weakened, his voice barely audible in Lucas’ presence. “Something is going on in the Stormclaw pack,” Lucas informed us from behind my father’s desk. “Changes are being made and the guards protecting the mansion have been doubled… tripled… if I'm to go by what I'm hearing. We need to be certain.” My father glanced at me, seeking support, but I just shrugged. If he wanted to say something, he would have to say it with his own mouth. “How strong is the intel? This

Sarah“How is he doing?” Ava asked as I entered the kitchen. She was sitting on one of the aisle stools, a cup in front of her. “Better,” I replied, dumping the content in my hand into the sink. “He has added some weight, which is good. But Ryder still wants to keep him under bedrest for a while longer.”Ava nodded in understanding but I could see she was preoccupied with something else.“And Ryder?” she asked absentmindedly.I arched a brow at her tone, leaning against the counter for support. When I said nothing, she looked up, her eyes searching mine.“What? I don't have an issue with Ryder. I love him… he is helping you and keeping us safe.”Her sarcasm wasn't lost on me. Ava had no love for Ryder and she couldn't be bothered to hide it. But recently, she has been civil when their path crossed, so I figured I could give her a break.I let out a long sigh, balancing my weight awkwardly on an empty stool. “He is stuck in bed with Alim, watching over the boy like a hawk. I'm glad I

RyderThe look on Sarah’s face was enough to tell me what I needed to know. Ava wasn’t lying— or paranoid like I had thought— when she came to my bedroom last night.“Wh—what are you doing here?” Sarah’s surprised voice only added to my uneasiness.“Exactly what I would love to know,” I ground out, my eyes darting between her and Zane. “Is Alim okay? Did something happen?” “Not since I left him,” I snapped, annoyed at the whole setup. Turning to a very quiet Zane, “Your Alpha asked you a question. Am I being disregarded? What is going on here?”Zane cleared his throat, his face like a mask. “I was summoned by this morning from the pack house. I just got to find out that Sarah has been receiving disturbing letters from Drako. She was suggesting—”“It's not his fault,” Sarah interrupted him. “I told the guards not to say anything to you.” — I glared at her— “You were occupied with Alim and... Alexis. I didn't want to burden you, but I needed to do something.”Rein in your anger, I cau

“SarahThe attack was all Lucas’ idea. A backup plan to get you if you failed to marry him.” I heard Ryder's voice but my gaze was locked on Alexis.“The man I killed… their leader, hinted at a woman, being behind the attack.”I saw something flash through her eyes. It was too fast, I couldn't put a name to it.“Are you sure about it?” Ryder’s voice was laced with disbelief, which I found strange.Was he trying to make excuses for her? Ignoring his question, I pushed my body forward, letting my legs drop to the ground. “You owe me that much, Alexis. If you tried to kill me and failed, you owe it to me to answer my question.” I said quietly, my face barely inches away from hers.“I don't owe you anything,” her foul breath filled my nostrils.What was I expecting? That she would admit to sending rogues to kill me? That she would apologise for ruining my life? That I would find fulfilment when in her misery?I pushed my chair back and stood up. I needed to be done with this part of my

RyderIf I could ask for one thing right now, it would be the chance to go back in time and correct my mistakes.That night with Alexis was a mistake.Trusting her father was a mistake.Hurting Sarah and pushing her away was a mistake.Too many mistakes made already. And I was about to make another if I let Sarah have her way.I had stayed awake last night and yet, I could only come up with the lamest plan, involving the one person I hated and couldn't even afford to trust.I paused on the front steps, taking in deep breaths before uncorking my water bottle and gulping down.“Where have you been?” A voice startled me.A shadow emerged and the light from the porch cast a warm glow on my unexpected companion.It was Ava.I cocked my head at her in confusion. Her question was unexpected, bizarre even. Slowly, I continued my ascent to the front porch, ignoring her.She blocked my path. “She is gone.” Flatly.What was she talking about? And why was she waiting for me, out here in the fark
