All Chapters of Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Jaselyn's POV It's been two days since the ordeal and all of us are still a little shaken by it, naturally so.The fire was put out without much hassle before it could spread to the other rooms but it'll take a while for the room to be rebuilt as it was completely destroyed by the flames.In the meantime, Carol will sleep in Larose's room. There are numerous rooms in the palace and she could get any one she wants but it's clear that she needs to be with her mother now more than ever.Just as Rion predicted, two badly burnt corpses were recovered from the room and they both fit the profile of Nigel and Nathan.Luna Daryna had called Rion, I and Larose to take a look at the corpses. When the white cloth was lifted up, I had to force myself not to look away as the sight before me had bile rushing up my throat.The bodies or what was left of them was twisted and contorted, frozen in what seemed like their final moments of agony. Their skins were blackened and cracked, peeling away to rev

Jaselyn's POV “Children, this is Carol and she's come to play with us today.” The woman introduces.They come closer and all seem to be fascinated by Carol’s beauty, marveling at her gorgeous curly hair and pretty green eyes. “Hi! I’m Tommy. Do you wanna be friends?” A boy with freckles asks, grinning widely.Carol looks at me, unsure, and I step in. “Yes, Carol would love to be your friend.She can’t speak so she won't be able to answer your questions but she's very nice and she loves to play just like you.”Another girl with pigtails reaches out to touch Carol’s hair. “Wow, your hair is so pretty! I’m Lily. Do you want to play with us, Carol?”Carol’s eyes light up, and she signs her name. The children look confused, so I explain, “She’s saying her name is Carol. Can you all say ‘Hi, Carol’?”“Hi

Jaselyn's POV That name. I always had a feeling it would come to haunt me sooner or later. Ziarre, my first female friend and Rion's first mate…..My throat tightens and I suddenly feel nauseous.I push him off of me, my heart pounding with hurt and betrayal. “What did you just say?”Rion looks at me, confusion and panic in his eyes. “Jas, I.… It was a mistake. I didn’t mean to—”“A mistake?” I repeat, my voice rising with anger. “You called out her name while we were having sex, Rion! You called out her name while you were inside me! What is that supposed to mean?!” I demand hotly, my chest constricting with pain. My vision blurs with unshed tears, and all I can see is red.I don't wait for him to respond before continuing. “You lied to me! You’re not over her, are you?!”“Jas, please,” he says, reaching for me, his face a mi

Jaselyn's POVI jolted awake due to the repeated knocking on my door. It takes a few minutes for me to calm my heart rate before directing my eyes to the door as the knocking persists.I'm too tired to answer it so I just tell the person to come in.I'm surprised to see Carol run into the room as soon as the door opens and even more shocked to see Larose following behind her, she closes the door softly.“Oh Larose, you're here.” Is all I can think to say, my mind a complete wreck.Carol runs over to me and has a bit of a struggle climbing onto the bed so I help her and she jumps on me. It takes the last of my strength to stop the both of us from falling over.“Did I wake you up? I'm sorry about that. I couldn't help but notice that you haven't left your room all morning and it's already 3 PM. You missed both breakfast and lunch.” Larose said as she took a seat beside my bed and my eyes quickly darted to the clock on t

Jaselyn's POV Carol fussed in my arms, wanting to be put down so I set her down and she ran over to him. He picked her up, throwing her in the air while she giggled.She signed to him, asking where he went and his eyes darted to me but I looked away, refusing to meet his gaze.“I had to be gone for work, sorry I couldn't tell you. Did you miss me, kiddo?” He asked and it almost felt like he was talking to me.Carol nodded and he hugged her.“You don't have to worry. I'm here now and I won't go anywhere again, I promise.” He said and I couldn't handle the situation anymore so I steeled myself and walked right past him, wanting to soldier on to the kitchen.He grabbed my arm, stopping me before I could run away.“Jas, we need to talk.”How do I tell him that though I'm happy to see him, I've been dreading this conversation?“I have nothing to say to you. Let go of me.”
