Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 158

Null and Void

Auren POV

The hid her in a remote location” Maris shrugged. “But I had heard of the conversation. Josh knew where Bram had put her up. I asked him to help me and he helped. He recorded Sable’s video that night when she was revealing her plans to her companions. He sent me the video and I sent it to you all” She bit her bottom p. 1 did it to save my relationship “But you said that you are with Josh 1 growled. “Stop lying”

7 wasn’t with Josh at that time,” she protested 1 was with Bram and wanted to save my relationship with him. He was hel bent on getting you back. What do you expect from me? I had spent a good number of years with him did everything he wanted, and yet what did he do? He went to the High Council and tried to clarm you? Do you realize the kind of stress i was in? I could have lost everything–my position, my prestige and my place in my family. I was fucking desperate”

She let out a cry and Josh embraced her in his arms. “Hush…”

I looked at Lucien with confusion, imitation, guilt and a number of other emotions. He narrowed his gaze on her

Mans shook her head. “He didn’t listen to me, so I did what I had to. I got that video and sent it to all the Council members and also to you all. Basically to everyone I could get hold of using an unknown number”

At her words, I let out a rough exhale. She practically saved me from Bram but in doing so she actually saved her relationship with Bram. The revelation was like a punch in my guts. I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. it was you who sent that video?”

“Yes,” she nodded. “1 saved you from him that time.”

“Stop saying like you are the victim here, Lucien snapped. “You saved yourself as wel.”

1 did she replied, shaking her head. “But it did bring peace for a long time, until I realized that Bam was pushing toward insanity. He missed his wolf and the only person he ever wanted was to be with Auren.” She lowered her head to the floor” Honestly, I am happy that he is no more..

There was an awkward silence in the room for a long time as each of us tried to process her words. “So what now?” I asked finally. Seriously, I didn’t know where we were standing at this junction of life.

The question is where is my daughter? Lucien growled, snapping. “Bram kidnapped her. So I am sure you know about it? 1 don’t!” she pleaded. “All I know is that- She glanced at Josh again. “After I returned home, I wanted to talk to Josh, but Bram had sent him to spy on your border saying that he had gone for a very important mission.”

Lucien’s eyes went wide in shock. “Fuck?” he cursed.

I realized that Bram had used Josh to divert our attention.

“Yes,” Maris said. “1 don’t know why or how he kidnapped your pup, because he had gone for a war with you. I caled Josh a few nights ago, asking him to retum and challenge Bram as an Alpha of the Crimson Howl pack.”

Lucien stabbed his fingers in his hair as he sat on the sofa behind him. Our minds were flooded with a thousand scenarios now as Bram’s scheme unfolded.

Maris added, “Bram had gone to fight alongside other rebel Alphas against you. Not once did he mention that he was going to kidnap your pup! I mean do you understand what I’m trying to say? If I knew that Bram would return with your pup, why would I ask Josh to marry me?”
