All Chapters of Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

REGINAI wasn’t thinking straight so it was easy to believe I was probably imagining all these. All that mattered was that even if this was just my imagination, I had broken free somehow and I had to run as fast as I could. I could be dreaming, but that was okay, as long as I made it out alive.So I ran through the wheat crops again the same way I had run earlier in the evening, panting for breath. It was totally dark now, but I could still navigate my way through. Even as I ran, from behind, my senses picked up the voices of the men. One of them was coming from the back of the shed towards the front now and I could tell he was bringing a piece of the meat they were roasting for me.He was going to find out!Run, Regina… Run!I was getting farther away. It was easier now to believe I could actually make it out now deep into the forest before they could trace anything out, my scent gone. Then I heard someone yell.He had seen I was not present in the shed anymore. He had raised an al

REGINA I panted weakly. “It is all your fault, Richie. At least, I would die letting you know that.” I whispered tiredly. I couldn’t believe I was actually going to die but there was nothing more to do at this point. I had given up from within me and I could feel that Ruby was also totally finished within me. It was over. “You should never have chosen to work for Lionel in the first place. You used to be just some street bully that anyone could overlook, and now you’ll be a killer.”He growled angrily and in frustration. “It was a handsome pay, you piece of shit, and if you had cooperated, everything would have played out just fine.”“I’m a wolf. I have instincts to survive.” I countered.“Which is why you decided to kill my friends, right?”What?“I don’t understand.” I was confused. I never killed the other two men. He snarled at me, revealing a pair of fangs. “They came after you and you killed them. You took them d

LIONELI took a deep breath and sighed.I looked up at the moon, trying as much to look like I was indeed, drawing some energy from the moon.What if I don’t get this special alpha call, right? Was there some special call for the alpha of the pack under this blood moon? What were their expectations? If I flopped it, there could be signs pointing to a malfunction within the alpha and it could prompt some side thoughts I didn’t even want to bring to mind.Yes, they would think me weak.Everyone’s eyes were on me, waiting, anticipating. I stole a glance around. There was grandpa, there was Ryker at the top of the stairs, his gaze being encouraging though the worry of searching for Regina still lingered around his face. I could spot Gwen beside Raphael, Regina’s father. I could see Arturo waiting earnestly, then there was Beatrice beside some strange man, clutched to him and also Frankenstein. One hell of a party this was.

LIONELI stared at the priest for long now as he stared right at me, and then to Regina, and then to me again as if he were searching for answers on our faces, except there was nothing there. Regina remained silent as well and I knew she was not looking at me, just as I wasn’t turning my head to even get a glimpse of her, wishing she was completely invisible.“Have you two done anything that may have affected a bond between you two?” he asked now. I was already tired of it. Was it necessary to go into our history?“Is any of this necessary?” I shot at him now.“You both don’t know how marriage works, do you? Werewolf marriage, at least?” He asked.I just wanted the entire conversation to be over. “Grandpa has been filling me in.” I replied dryly, even though all Grandpa had actually said was that all marriage was unique to itself. Was this the process that made my own marriage unique because it was wearing me out?“Firstly, you n

LIONELLucius, I don’t think this marriage was going to work after all.Like, it’s not entirely your fault.Enough playing the game of blame. I made my decision based on what was best for me and you.You cannot choose what’s best for me. Lucius growled within me.We are having nothing to do with a Donovan and that was my final decision—it still is. I am only doing this because we’ve come this far and there was no other way to convince grandpa everything was going to be fine. For now, the best thing to do was to keep playing the priest. We needed to keep him sniffing around until Regina gave in and said something that ended the marriage or, of course, until we got married. It was one of those two options. The last thing that would happen was to have the whole world think I was the one who made the efforts to end the marriage. I needed to save my pack the embarrassment and keep Grandpa in check. If Regina finally broke and did wha
