Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me (by Sherry) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 241

She raised her hand to strike me, but Evan moved with preternatural speed, catching her wrist mid swing. “What exactly do you think you’re doing?”

“Evan, what does this mean? Linda demanded, struggling against his ‘grip. “You’re protecting her? Taking her side?

“It means exactly what you think it means, Evan replied, his pale green eyes hardening to something glacial. “You won’t lay a hand on her. Not while I’m

here.‘

Daemon’s expression, already dark, turned even more thunderous as he watched Evan position himself protectively in front of me, something dangerously possessive flaring in his eyes.

“Please, everyone, stop!” Celeste’s voice cut through the tension, higher and more distressed than usual. She pushed herself up with visible effort, her good hand pressed against her chest. Tears welled in those impossibly blue eyes, spilling down her cheeks. “This is all my fault. I’m so sorry. Once the surgery is done, I’ll disappear completely. I won’t bother any of you ever again. I promise.”

Ruby immediately rushed to comfort her daughter, shooting reproachful looks at the rest of us.

I watched the performance with cold detachment. “Celeste,” I said, cutting through the theatrical sobbing with deliberate calm, “some truths are easier to confess before they’re forcibly extracted. Coming clean now might make things better for you. Otherwise, you’re going to lose everything you’ve worked so hard to build.

Celeste’s crying stuttered for just a moment, genuine fear flickering across her features before the innocent mask slammed back into place.

“That won’t be necessary,” Daemon interrupted flatly. He hadn’t taken his eyes off me since Evan’s declaration.

Triumph flashed across Celeste’s expression before she quickly suppressed it.

“Daemon!” Lucian s voice rang out across the lounge, sharp with urgency. He burst through the entrance looking disheveled and out of breath, as though hed sprinted here. His eyes swept the group before landing on Daemon with visible relief.

Senna appeared behind him, along with Jade and Lily. Celeste’s face brightened when she spotted Lucian. “Lucian, did you come to see me off

Us puthing, Baemon assured her, though his jaw was tight. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Then let’s not stay here, Celeste said quickly, rising and moving toward the boarding gate. “The sooner we leave, the better.”

“Wait – Lucian lunged forward, physreally blocking Daemon’s path. He yanked his phone from his pocket, fingers flying across the screen as he pulled up whatever he’d come here to show. Before Daemon could protest, Lucian thrust the device directly in front of his face and pressed play on an audio file.
