Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha : Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Jaselyn's POV “Jaselyn, please get up. We have to get you cleaned up and treated. You just gave birth, you need food and rest and you need to heal as well. When you're healed enough, you can go see Celio in the morgue. We've decided to keep his corpse there till you and the Alpha reach a decision on what you want to do.” The doctor said but I wasn't even listening, too overwhelmed by my grief.The door opened but I didn't bother to look up, nothing could possibly alleviate this pain.“Alpha!”That word from the doctor caused me to raise my head in surprise and just like magic, Zane was standing right there, just a few feet away from me.He had on a cool expression, not a single hair out of place while I must look like a total wreck. Where the fuck has he been? Why did he leave me at such a crucial time? Has he come back to his senses?Does he know what has happened?“Our son is dead.” Is the only thing I can say and it comes out so strained and rough like I'd been smoking for months.

Jaselyn's POV “No! No way! You're lying, Nae would never do that to me!” I fired back, chest tightening with newly awakened fear, hinging on the hope that I was right.Isla just tsked and looked at me like I was some sort of pitiful creature.I rushed over to Nae, taking her hand in mine.“Don't worry about Isla, Nae. You don't have to feel threatened, I won't believe a word this she devil says. I trust you and I'll believe anything you tell me. I know that you care for me like your own sister and you would never do something as despicable as killing my baby no matter who asked you to.” I assured Nae of my faith in her and I expected her to smile and confirm that I was right but just like the whole of today, the opposite happened.Nae snatched her hand away from mine and turned away from me. I heard her sniff.“Nae? Is something wrong?” “Stop! Stop it! I…… I did it! I did exactly what Isla said. I gave you the poisoned juice and I knew that it was poisoned but I still fed it to you.

Jaselyn's POV I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, through the forest and the vegetation. My head kept pounding incessantly, my stomach churning, I was getting out of breath and my legs were heavy, feeling like they would fail me any minute but I didn't stop.I didn't know where I was going but I just kept running, wanting to get as far away from the palace as possible. I wanted to run away from everyone and everything.I only stopped, completely breathless when I reached a cliff.I rested my hands on my knees, heaving, trying hard to catch my breath. Just then, Isla's words echoed in my mind.‘You have no one left in your life. There's no one that wants you, no one that loves you. The whole world has turned its back on you and everyone you know or love has either left, betrayed you or done both.There's nothing left for you, Jaselyn Everhart.’‘You've been abandoned, with pain and misery as your only companions.’‘Your child is dead, your mate has left you for good, your reputat

Jaselyn’s POV “Are you sure?”“Yes, Jas. But if you don't want this bond, it's fine. We could reject each other if that's what you want.” He suggests and my grip around him tightens instinctively.“No, that's not what I meant. I want this bond.” I rush out, cheeks warming up.It's OK for me to be selfish this one time, isn't it?“As your mate, I'll give you all the care and support you need but I can't promise to love you. My heart is the only thing I can't offer to you, I hope you can understand that.” He said and a weird feeling engulfed me, I couldn't understand what it was. Disappointment? Sadness? I'm not even sure.“I understand. We both have deep emotional wounds we might never heal from. I won't ask much from you, only that you stand by me. Your support is all I need.” I clarified and I heard him sigh in relief.“I guess that's settled then.” He said and the awkward silence was back again.“How did you find me?” I asked the question that had occupied my mind since he arrived.

Jaselyn's POVLanding at Orlando International airport, there was already a car waiting for us. We ended up spending five hours on the road, most of which I slept through. The forests of Florida were vast but we finally arrived at the Blue Solstice Pack. Unlike The Black Moon Pack located in the rurals of Wyoming, the Blue Solstice Pack was located in Jacksonville, a densely populated city. The entire territory of the Pack was protected by ancient magic though, so humans couldn't wander into that part of the forest.Lycans were known to possess magic in times past, though they're extinct now. So the fact that the Pack's territory is protected by magic really makes me wonder if the rumors of them being descended from Lycans are true.Traveling through the Pack, it was like a town of its own. There were so many people and lots of infrastructure. Arriving at the palace of the Blue Solstice Pack, I couldn't hide my amazement. It was huge! And I was looking at it just from the exterior.
