Alpha's STOLEN Mate (by Abigail Hayes) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

My heart drops.

70

Scarlett jumps off the desk, her eyes flashing with anger as she takes in Evelyn’s injuries. “Who did this to you?” she snarls. “Tell me who,

and I’ll make them pay for every single mark!”

She grabs Evelyn’s arm, guiding her to a chair. “Sit. Now.” Then she’s at the door, shouting for a medic.

The palace doctor arrives within minutes, medical bag in hand. He gets to work immediately-cleaning wounds, checking for broken

bones, setting up an IV drip to combat the blood loss and magical exhaustion.

I can barely contain myself as I watch the needle slide into Evelyn’s arm, the clear fluid beginning to flow. “Tell us what happened,” I

demand. “Everything.”

Evelyn’s voice is weak at first, but as she speaks, the horror of what transpired becomes clear. The trap. Morgath’s twisted domain. Kaius’s transformation into that… thing. The way he turned on Elowen without hesitation. How Morgath played with them like toys.

By the time she finishes, rage is burning through my veins like wildfire.

“Fuck!” I slam my fist on the desk. “Kaius… how could he-”

“Evelyn!” Scarlett interrupts, her voice sharp with urgency. She turns to the witch, and I can see the desperation in her eyes. “I know this isn’t fair to you. I know you just escaped with your life. But we don’t have much time!” She leans forward, gripping the armrest of Evelyn’s chair. “If you have any strength left-if you can hold on just a little longer-you have to send us into that world. Now.”

Evelyn’s eyes go distant for a moment. Hesitant.

“Christ!” Scarlett’s voice rises. “Don’t tell me you’re too scared to go back! You don’t even have to come with us-just send us through!

We’ll find our own way out!”

Evelyn’s head snaps up, her hand dropping from her forehead. She stares at Scarlett with an expression of pure disbelief. “Seriously? You

think I’m a coward?”
