All Chapters of Marred by his Betrayal : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

SarahMy heart raced, each beat thundering through my body like a drum, as I listened to Pauline. The word ‘pregnant’ echoed repeatedly in my mind.“Pauline, this can’t be right,” I said, my voice trembling. “I need you to run the test again. Please.”Why was I scared? I clapped my trembling hands together and placed them in front of me. I had no answer to my question. Maybe Pauline got the result wrong. It could be a mix-up. I can't be pregnant!Pauline’s face softened, the smile on her face faltered as she saw my reaction. “Sarah, I understand this is overwhelming. But I assure you, the results are accurate.”“No, Pauline. I need you to run the test again, please,” I insisted. “There must have been a mix-up.She shrugged. “If you insist. I'll have your blood drawn and have the pregnancy test rerun. Just to put your mind at ease.”“Thank you,” I muttered at her retreating figure.Ryder moved closer, “Sara—”“Please Ryder, I want to be alone for now. Could you do me a favour and let m

LucasMy phone buzzed beside me, forcing me to take my eyes temporarily off the road. It was a message from Lisa. I ignored it and pulled my gaze back to the road, my eyes focused on the navy blue Sedan I was tailing.I've been back at Orion’s house, hiding and waiting to catch a glimpse of Sarah. No sign of her all day, so when Alpha Orion got into his navy blue car, I followed him.I was curious when he drove through the Stormclaw pack and stopped at the hospital. But nothing prepared me for the sight of Sarah tagging behind him as he left the hospital. She looked pale under the glaring sunlight. Apart from that, she looked perfectly fine.“What were you doing in the Stormclaw clinic, Sarah? Visiting your lover?” I spoke to myself as I followed the car at a leisure space. It was killing me, staying away from her. Knowing that she was probably spending all her waking moment with that weakling, Ryder.As they took a sharp turn, my phone rang almost immediately, startling me. The car s

SarahI had nothing to lose when I decided to return to the Nightshade pack. The thought of saving my mother was the only thing on my mind. Not my safety, or my freedom.Lucas’ words rang in my head “Your mother is only going to survive tonight if you're by her side.” He had said it so casually but I knew the underlying threat he was trying to pass.He had given me an ultimatum; either I return tonight or my mother dies. The house was eerily quiet as I tiptoed down the stairs and pushed open the front door. The only sound I could hear was that of my heart pounding loudly. With one last look at the old house, I shifted into my wolf form and started my journey to the Nightshade pack. Alpha Orion would understand when he woke up and I was nowhere to be found. Or I hope he does.The night was cool and I savoured it, pounding my paws to the earth as I ran. I neared the gate of Lucas’ mansion and took my human form.There were guards stationed everywhere. It looked like a fortress, every g

Ryder “She insisted on dealing with him alone. There was nothing I could do,” I uttered in frustration, crashing my hand in my hair. “No one is blaming you, Ryder,” Alpha Orion spoke, his calm voice only made me feel worse. After Sarah had dismissed me, I walked away but didn't return to my house. I hid and observed the house from a nearby vantage point. I was waiting to see if Lucas would show up unexpectedly. Instead, it was Sarah who unexpectedly slipped out of the house, almost at the crack of dawn. And I discreetly followed her, keeping a close distance until she entered the Nightshade's premises. Left with nothing else to do at that point, I returned to Alpha Orion’s house. The lights were turned on and the old man was waiting outside. “That knowledge doesn't help me!” I growled at the old man, then reeled my anger in. “I'm sorry. I'm just on edge.” I paced around the small kitchen where we were holding a meeting. I had called Zane and a woman— alpha Orion identifie

RyderThe most difficult part was waiting, but I did. I stayed crouched down, with two dozen men hidden in the woods surrounding Lucas’ mansion. The overhead branches gave us shade and cover. The guards patrolling the woods didn't even catch our scent.We’re waiting for our clue, any moment now. Ava had said we would know when to attack when we heard the screams.But my wolf was restless, pacing inside me. He could sense that Sarah was in danger and there was nothing I could do about it.Then, I heard it. First, it was a faint but unmistakable. It grew louder, screams and growls pierced through the quiet of the woods. The sound was haunting, like a signal we couldn't ignore.I felt a gwaning sensation of dread move through my body like ice. The fact that I couldn't communicate with Sarah through the mind link intensified my feelings./It's time/ I spoke to Zane through the mind link. /Gather the men and lead them. Do you remember Ava’s plan? Stick by it.//Yes, Alpha Ryder/ he respond
