All Chapters of Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zane's POV“Is this really necessary? You've never been this eager to return to the Pack from your official outings. Besides, why did you insist on returning today when the weather is so bad?” Rion complained but I chose to ignore him, focusing all my attention on the view through the window as the car drove through the muddy path.Call me crazy but I have this tick, this hunch that something is horribly wrong. The issue with Alpha Zeke was thankfully trivial enough that it could be sorted out through discussion. He invited me to stay for a few days and I would have been inclined to accept the offer if this feeling of dread hadn't suddenly crashed over me like an unforgiving wave.I woke up today with a stomach ache, something that rarely happened. I was served a feast but I could barely eat anything, I just felt so unedge, like something wasn't right.Rion noticed it. After breakfast, he confronted me about it and I honestly had no idea what to tell him as I, myself, have no idea wha

Zane's POVCounting down the minutes till the doctor arrived was agonizing. I even yelled at her when I had no right to, given the weather condition. As usual, Rion managed to keep a levelhead and apologized to the doctor, explaining how we found Jaselyn while I paced about, consumed by fear and anxiety. I felt like a child once more, pitiful and helpless.We both waited outside while the doctor attended to Jaselyn in the room. I paced about while Rion remained seated still. "You know you can just admit you're worried about her." He suddenly said and I cocked my head at him, annoyed."And what would that solve, exactly?" I asked with a scowl."It wouldn't help her, yes, but it'll help you put a handle on your emotions. You're behaving so erratically now, like a scared child. Don't forget you're still the Alpha of this Pack, you have to be able to keep a clear head and make decisions at all times." He said and I stared at him menacingly, my hands bunching into fists but I knew I coul

Zane's POVI arrive back outside the room where Jaselyn is currently being treated to see Ziarre applying some ointment on Rion's hands.“I told you, beloved, you don't have to do this. It's just a small injury, I'll be fine.” He reassured while Ziarre pouted, not paying him any mind.“You always say that but you seem to have a knack for getting in trouble. You're a grown man, I shouldn't have to worry about you when you aren't with me.” She scolded as she bandaged his hands, which had been burned when he broke off the silver chains from Jaselyn.“You know the last thing I'd want to do is make you worry, beloved. It was a matter of urgency, I had to do something.” He explained with a sheepish smile.“I'm not angry at you. I'm actually proud to have you as my mate, not a lot of people are as selfless as you. I just can't help worrying about you.” Ziarre confessed as she clipped the bandage in place.“Well, it's because you love me.” He replied cheekily and she turned away, her cheeks f

Jaselyn's POVI find myself more than a little grateful that I'd survived that horrible ordeal. The aftermath comes with its own pains but the painkillers really do help, I'll admit.I was truly surprised to open my eyes and realize that I'm still in the land of the living. I panicked a bit but the doctor was able to calm me down and explain everything to the best of her ability.I found out from the nurse that Rion had broken me out of the chains, hurting himself in the process and that he had also donated some of his blood to me.It brought a smile to my face and a warm feeling bloomed in my chest. At my dying moment, I thought I was truly alone in this world but he's reminded me that I'm not alone. There are still people who care for me and would be really sad if I died. That's enough for me to keep pushing on for now.And then that man— Zane had the audacity to show his face in front of me like he wasn't practically responsible for all this.He brought me here as a prisoner, he ga

Jaselyn's POVSo many questions flooded my mind at the thought that Zane is moving into this room with me. Why, though? The only reason I can think of is that he wants to torment me despite my injuries. At least I know what he meant when he said he was going to be seeing me soon.I could only watch helplessly as his things were moved into the room. The maids left and anxiety encompassed my being but the drugs kicked in and I fell into a sedated, dreamless sleep.Nae woke me up in the afternoon to eat and take another dose of the medicine. I fell asleep right after again, not being able to do much but sleep. I guess I should appreciate the fact that I can rest now because Isla is going to surely make me work overtime after I recover.When I woke up again, it was evening, just a little over sunset. The weight on my bladder told me that I needed to pee but Nae wasn't around and I didn't want to be a burden by calling out to her.If Nila was with me, she probably would vehemently kick aga
