Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me

Chapter 221

Violet’s POV:

After Iris disappeared back toward the elevator and Felix had vanished into the night, the three of us stood alone in Wild Oak’s lobby.

“Okay, what the hell just happened? Sienna demanded, turning to face me fully. “One minute we’re waiting for dinner, the next minute Daemon’s carrying Celeste out like she’s dying, and you’re standing here looking like you just watched a predictable play reach its inevitable conclusion.”

Lucian’s arm tightened around his wife’s shoulders, but his eyes were fixed on me with sharp curiosity, “Yeah, Violet. What did you say to make her collapse like that?

I glanced around the lobby, confirming we were truly alone before answering. “I told her about Aurora Winters.”

“Aurora?” Lucian’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Who’s that?”

I took a breath, feeling the weight of finally sharing this toxic secret with people who might actually believe me. ‘Aurora Winters was a girl who died years ago-jumped into a river because she couldn’t handle losing Daemon. Before she died, she was in the hospital for a few days. They managed to keep her alive long enough to harvest her organs.” I paused, watching their faces. “Celeste received Aurora’s heart.”

The silence that followed was absolute. Sienna’s hand flew to her own chest, her eyes widening with shock. Lucian’s mouth opened, then closed, then opened

again.

“Holy shit,” Sienna finally breathed. “So Daemon and Linda are obsessed with Celeste because she’s literally walking around with a dead girl’s heart?”

“Exactly, I confirmed.

“Wait, wait, wait.” Lucian held up a hand, his expression cycling through disbelief. “I’m one of his best friends, and I had no idea there was this whole thing with some girl named Aurora. When did this even happen?”

“Before our mating ceremony,” I said. “Daemon loved Aurora. She loved him. But his family forced him to marry me instead for political reasons. Aurora couldn’t handle it, so she killed herself.”

Sienna’s face had gone pale. “Jesus Christ, Violet.”

‘But here’s what I don’t understand,” Lucian said, leaning forward with the intense focus he usually reserved for complex legal problems. “How did Daemon

Γ even know Celeste had Aurora’s heart? Did Celeste tell him herself?”

I shook my head. ‘No, she’s been pretending she doesn’t know anything about Aurora. I think Linda told him she must have somehow figured out the

connection.”

“But how would Linda recognize Celeste as the recipient? Sienna pressed, her analytical mind clearly working through the logistics. Hospitals don’t just hand out donor information. Recipient families and donor families arent supposed to meet.”

That was the exact question that had been circling in my mind like a vulture, the missing piece that would make this entire nightmare make sense. I felt my frustration building as t voiced it aloud. I don’t know. That s one of the things I can’t figure out how did Linda identify Celeste as Aurora’s recipient? And when exactly did Linda tell Daemon about the heart? I shook my head. These questions are all connected somehow, but I cant see the full picture set.

This is so fucked up. Lucian muttered, running a hand through his hair.

That’s my theory, I said. And Linda’s involved because Aurora was her sister

Tersists? Sienna looked like she might be sick. “So Linda is helping Celeste because of some twisted connection to her dead sister? That s-that

chotic

“It’s grief,” I said quietly. “Grief make people do insarre things.”

The next morning, Sienna forwarded me a series of voice messages from Lucian. I listened to them while making coffee, feeling a grim satisfaction at the

intelligence he’d gathered.

According to what Lucian had overheard at the hospital, Celeste had woken up crying and demanded Daemon explain everything about Aurora. After he finished, she’d conveniently fainted again. Ruby and Mason had also shown up, begging Daemon to leave their daughter alone, completely oblivious to the fact that Celeste had been the one chasing him all along.

But the most interesting detail came in Sienna’s final message: “Violet, we got answers to some of those questions! Remember you were wondering how Linda Enew about Celeste? Apparently Linda found out when you and she came back for that business trip and ran into Daemon. She investigated Daemons relationship with Celeste afterward, recognized her as her sister’s heart recipient, and told Daemon. Before that, he only knew Celeste had a heart condition.”
