Chase Me Alpha (Daria and Caleb) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Caleb’s POV

Everyone was in such shock by Sabrina’s actions that everything became quiet for a brief moment, then suddenly burst into

chaos.

“You.” Felicia was seething, her veins on her neck and forehead bulging. “You HIT ME!”

“AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN,” Sabrina’s unrepentant attitude was like a bucket of ice water was thrown at all of us. She glared at everyone: the Elders, Felicia, and even I with an anger so great I had to wonder what could have caused such a switch.

“You dare say those words like you were even doing the right thing back then!!” Sabrina growled, taking a step closer to Felicia. Only the firm hand of a guard stopped her from getting ven closer. And Felicia herself shrank back with a wordless shriek.

“Alpha Caleb has NEVER been your mate in any sense of the word. You were nothing but the mistress back then and you’re not even ashamed of yourself! Acting all high and mighty because what? Your family’s Elder chose to make you his puppet and you’re SO HAPPY!”

The Elder Talen with a dark glance at her cleared his throat and addressed Jacob who stood right next to me now. He had come out after Sabrina only to find this mess.

“Beta Jacob, please control your mate-”

“Oh screw you, you old fool! Do you even feel sorry for what you put Daria through?! You ALL played a part in her leaving! Yet you call her disloyal!” Sabrina wasn’t done. Elder Talen was increasingly more shocked into silence and his gaze grew ever grimmer.

I glanced at Daria, who remained silent. I couldn’t see her expression from where I was standing but her posture said it all. She was shaking, trembling like a leaf that was being blown about in the wind.

An ache shot through to my chest, and I swallowed.

“And don’t even get me started on YOU! YOU and your Alpha Caleb who you want so much! If she hadn’t been under so much stress because of you two, do you think she would have le?!”

“Then she’s nothing but a weak coward!” Felicia shrieked, and this time I couldn’t help it. I growled loudly, and she pressed her lips together, forcing herself into silence again.

“You’re the WEAK COWARD here!” Sabrina yelled. “Congratulations, you made her leave! You even pushed her to the brink that she lost a child! Do YOU feel satisfied?!”

What?

Everyone gaped at Sabrina.

It felt like all the blood in my body was rushing through my ears now, hearing those words.

I was thrown back into that void I had been in all those years I’d pent searching for Daria.

Lost a child..?

What could that mean..?

I wasn’t a fool. I knew exactly what that meant.

“Daria… was pregnant?” I couldn’t help the visceral pain that coad my words in my voice.

Then I heard a small sob, and turned to find Daria already running, so far away from us all.

Panic flooded my body and I turned to go after her. I had to speak with her, to hear from her directly-

“Caleb, let her go. Give her some time,” the firm hand of my best friend grabbed my shoulder, stopping me. I growled-

Before I knew it I had slammed my elbow into his gut and he bowled over in pain. But his grip on my shoulder only tightened.

Meanwhile my mind was raging.

Let her go?!

I had lost her before. I wasn’t going to lose her again!

Thinking about it, I raised my head to the darkened moonlit sky and gave a loud guttural cry.

It had been my fault after all.

It was my fault that she had lost our child.

That was the reason she had left.

Memories of all the times that we spoke recently reminded me. Daria had been hiding something since she arrived back at the pack.

I hadn’t been able to figure it out, and that had forced an invisible boundary between us that even when I tried to get closer to her, she wouldn’t let me go further.

When I raised my head again, it was raining. The skies had gotten even fuller. Rain had begun to drizzle over my body, yet my mind couldn’t be still. In the rain, no one could notice how reddened my eyes were, or the prickling of tears that flowed down my cheeks.

Glancing at Elder Talen who stood there with Felicia and surrounded by guards, I could only sneer in hatred at them both.

Even the other Elders that he had gathered around him had all disappeared, leaving them to stew in the consequences of their own machinations.

“Take them to the cells,” my voice was hoarse as I ordered the guards. They moved firmly and Elder Talen’s expression shuttered, almost like an admission of defeat.

But Felicia didn’t show any remorse. She screamed, yelled, cried out and struggled against the firm hold of the guards.

Watching them leave I only felt numb.

This was my own fault.

“Jacob,” Sabrina looked apologetic, so much that she hesitated to look at me. She wrung her hands tightly and pressed her lips together before saying,

“Let him go. It’s raining. Daria’s out there without anyone. We need to find her quickly,”

“Leave it to me,” I said, standing up. Jacob finally released my ar. It hurt a little and I rolled my shoulder back, before glancing at his pale faced mate. She flinched under my gaze.

“I’ll bring her back. I promise.”

She could only nod, and Jacob sighed and wrapped his arms around Sabrina murmuring

Chapter 73

“Let’s get inside. The guests will be wondering what happened. We have to be there.”

I turned around and began to walk through the rain in the dire on that Daria had gone.

If I didn’t find her then I wouldn’t return. I wouldn’t leave her ale again.

My steps quickened just as the rain did. The cool wind pierced my body down to my bones. Even I couldn’t help shivering as the rain grew heavier and heavier.

“Daria!” I screamed her name over and over again until my voic was hoarse, trying to hear any hints of her presence,

The rain continued, muddying the tracks and mixing up scentsat made it impossible to think properly.

But I persisted, feeling pain lance through my chest with each sp.

I had been so foolish.

So foolish to treat her that way, so foolish to pretend like she didn’t mean anything to me.

And because of my foolishness back then, not only had she lefte, but she had lost our child.

Thinking of how old that child would have been now, I could understand exactly why she wouldn’t forgive me. wouldn’t she even dare to consider giving me another chance?

I would have done the same in her shoes.

Eventually I paused, leaving against a massive willow tree that gave me shade from the rain.

Why

The rain gradually began to peter out, with the heavy raindrops becoming lighter and lighter until it returned to a drizzle

once more.

As it stopped, I glanced around me. The forest was deep and dar, with not even the sounds of birds in the air.

Where could she have gone?

I pressed my hand against my chest. In the last hour I had felt the deep pain become greater and heavier, making it difficult to even breathe.

It wasn’t a physical pain entirely, I knew. It was the mate bond acing out.
