Semua Bab Mated To My Hybrid brother : Bab 21 - Bab 30

RaeLandon’s voice kept replaying in my head, over and over again, like a haunting melody I couldn't escape. A day has passed since I discovered the truth about Landon, and I haven’t told Von anything.The minute I realized that Von’s death would mean my freedom a part of me kept fighting the urge to keep this information to myself.Von had done nothing but make my life miserable. He had threatened me, hurt me, and controlled me in ways I resented. It would be nice to get rid of him, to watch him take his last breath.But despite my joy, I still felt like keeping this information to myself was a terrible idea.I groaned. I was at a crossroads not knowing what to do next.The sound of Anna’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "You’ve been awfully quiet since you walked in here. Is everything alright?" I blinked, realizing I had wandered into the kitchen without even thinking. The smell of fresh bread and simmering stew filled the air, but I barely noticed. Anna lowered her voice a

Von I carried Rae into another room, her body still trembling in my arms. She hadn’t let go of me since I pulled her from the fire, her fingers were still gripping my shirt like a lifeline. I had never seen her like this before—shaken, fragile. Vulnerable. As soon as I set her down on the bed, she suddenly screamed. “Fire!” she yelled, her voice filled with terror. “Fire!” I stiffened, watching as she bolted upright, her wild eyes darting around the room. She wasn’t here—not really. She was trapped in her own mind, reliving something I didn’t understand. Something that feared her. “Rae,” I called, stepping toward her. She didn’t hear me. She was gasping for air, her hands clutching at her head. Then, suddenly, she sobbed. “This is all my fault,” she whispered, then shouted, “I’m sorry, Mom!” My stomach twisted. I had never seen her like this—so lost, so broken. She had always been sharp-tongued, defiant, and always ready for a fight. But this? This was something else ent

Rae My heart nearly stopped as I noticed Landon’s eye was still on me. I waited for him to act. But he didn’t move. He just stood there, staring. The silence between us stretched unnaturally long, and I knew he suspected something. I felt like running away, but instead, I smiled wearily, trying to hide the fact that I had just heard everything he said.“I thought Von was here!” I said coyly. “I’m sorry for interrupting you.”I didn’t wait for him to reply. I forced myself to walk at a steady pace as I took steps backward. I kept glancing over my shoulder, expecting him to be right behind me. But he wasn’t. The fact that he didn’t come after me was weird. Maybe he was planning to do something even worse or maybe he thought I didn’t overhear him.My thoughts kept racing and at some point, I managed to tune it down. I continued my search for Von, turning down another hallway.I arrived at his study and I realized he wasn’t there and as I made my way downstairs I nearly collided wi

Von I stormed out of the room, my jaw clenched so tight it ached. My mind was still reeling from Rae’s accusations. How could she be so stupid? Did she really think she could twist the truth and make me turn against Landon? The audacity of it made my blood boil. As I walked down the corridor, I nearly ran into Landon. He raised an eyebrow at the look on my face. "What’s wrong?" he asked, in a sharp tone. “You look pissed.” I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. "Rae is the reason for my current mood.”“What did she do?” Landon asked.“Here I was, actually giving a damn about that bitch, and the whole time, she was playing with my emotions." My voice dripped with frustration, and I ran a hand through my hair, trying to shake off the anger building inside me. Landon frowned slightly. "Slow down. What happened?" I scoffed. "Rae said you were behind the fire. She’s been sitting on this idea for days, probably waiting for the perfect moment to drop it on me." I shook my head. "And the

VonI stood there, listening to Anna’s words, and something inside me snapped. My blood was already boiling from the earlier news about Rae, and now, this? “Your majesty,” Anna said in a smooth voice. “I know you don’t believe me, but I’m telling you the truth.” I didn’t need to hear anymore. “Stop spitting out lies, Anna!” I snapped. “You think I’m a fool? My guards saw Rae escape. So why the hell are you lying?” Her eyes didn’t waver. “Those guards are lying to you, your majesty.“I clenched my fists. This was ridiculous. “So, what, you’re saying Rae didn’t escape and she was taken? Is that what you're trying to tell me?” Anna didn’t flinch. “Yes.”I shook my head. “How do you know this?”“I was going to see Rae when I saw some of your guards dragging her down the hall. I wanted to help her but I knew if I did they would come after me, and I wouldn’t be able to deliver this news to you.”I scoffed, shaking my head. “Did Rae put you up to this?” Anna’s expression changed.“What
