Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: 194-The Banned Thought

Verity:

"Jaguar," I gasped, almost out of breath as I tried to get his attention.

"What?" he asked, pulling away as I quickly covered myself.

I quickly grabbed the sheet and pulled it over my chest, moving completely away from him as I sat on the bed.

I watched him and handed him the phone.

"It says your brother had a heart attack," I whispered, barely able to contain myself.

I didn’t know what had happened, but tears suddenly filled my eyes.

I just didn’t understand.

I mean, I’d always thought I wouldn’t care if he died, but why were tears suddenly filling my eyes?

Why was my heart pounding so hard?

Jaguar reacted the same way.

He froze, but he had far more control over himself than I did.

I’d already seen the notification when it appeared on the screen, so he opened the message to confirm what it said.

However, that was all it contained.

There wasn’t any other information.

He jumped out of bed and grabbed his trousers.

"How can that—," While he was putting on his trousers, I spoke, hugging the sheet tightly around my body, my eyes fixed on the floor.

I tried to convince myself I was only upset because if anything happened to the Alpha King, how would I ever get my revenge on him?

It would be an easy way out for him.

"He’s the Alpha King. How can he have a heart attack?" I muttered to myself.

I guess that caught Jaguar’s attention because he turned around while buttoning his shirt.

Then he came back to the bed.

"Are you okay?" he asked, climbing onto the bed on his knees and wrapping his arms around me.

"How can—how can he have a heart attack?" I couldn’t even speak properly.

My voice caught in my throat.

"Are you okay, Verity?" Jaguar asked, gently shaking me.

I had no clue why I was reacting this way.

It didn’t make sense, but I couldn’t stop.

My eyes kept filling with tears.

"Hey, hey," Jaguar murmured as he shifted onto his knees in front of me, cupping my face in his hands.

"He’s a powerful Alpha King. Like you said, there must’ve been a misunderstanding. Don’t worry, okay?" he reassured me, gently brushing his thumbs across my cheeks.

"Can— I come?" I asked.

The request slipped out before I could stop it.

Jaguar looked at me for a moment, then slowly straightened up.

"Of course. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking. If I come with you, they’ll think we were together," I said, immediately pulling myself together.

"If you want to, it’s okay," Jaguar replied suddenly, cupping my face again.

I hadn’t expected him to agree.

I studied his face, weighing my options.

Why the fuck was I so worried?

It wasn’t like I cared about that motherfucker.

"Oh, no. It’s okay. I don’t want to. But let me know how he is, okay?" I said as I adjusted myself on the bed, making sure I was completely covered by the sheet.

"Okay. I’ll let you know," Jaguar replied, leaning down to kiss my forehead.

Then he got out of bed and headed for the door.

As soon as he left, I rushed over and locked it before Mrs. Baker could barge in.

She always did.

I turned around with the sheet still wrapped around me, clutching it tightly at the front.

Confused.

As I replayed my reaction in my mind, I frowned.

"What the fuck happened to me?" I scratched my scalp.

I’d been so overwhelmed by feelings I didn’t even realize that I hadn’t reacted properly to Jaguar.

Me: Are you okay? Please don’t stress. Everything will be okay. Your brother will be fine soon.

Man in a fox mask.
