Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: 99-Tempting Him

Verity:

The next time I regained consciousness, I was back home.

I recognized my room immediately.

For a split second, my heart started racing, thinking Ragnar had actually brought me here himself.

Then it hit me.

Ragnar must have sent one of his drivers to drop me off.

I had no idea what had happened after I passed out, but one thing was certain.

I was fully awake now.

As I lay there in bed, only one thought kept circling through my mind.

What had happened to me?

That dream where I killed Ragnar—

Had it really been just a dream?

Or had I actually slit his throat?

However, I quickly realized an Alpha King wouldn’t die that easily.

I climbed out of bed and carefully made my way outside.

The moment I stepped into the living room, I saw Alpha King Ragnar standing there.

He was trying to make a phone call.

Then a thunderclap jolted through my body, and I suddenly realized why he couldn’t get through.

Whenever the weather turned this bad in the omega community, the phone signal disappeared.

Ragnar let out a frustrated groan.

That was when I finally understood.

It had all been a dream.

No!

A hallucination.

The bats that lived in the woods left their teeth inside their victims after biting them, causing vivid hallucinations for a while.

So I could use this hallucination to my advantage.

For the first time, while standing face to face with Ragnar, I found the courage to start something between us.

I dramatically stumbled out of the bedroom, swaying as I walked.

"Roman, when did you get here?" I called out, watching Ragnar turn around and frown at me.

"Roman," I called again, blinking repeatedly.

"I’m Ragnar. Your boss," he corrected.

But I kept walking toward him.

The moment I got close enough, I felt my heart flip in my chest as I placed my hand against him. Even through his shirt, I could feel how firm and muscular his chest was.

He immediately grabbed my wrist to stop me.

Then he bent down until we were at eye level, gently shaking my hand.

"I’m Ragnar," he repeated, staring straight into my eyes.

He was so close that our gazes locked completely.

I slowly lifted my free hand and brushed my fingertips against his cheek.

Then I let them trail through his beard before tracing along his jaw.

I watched his eyes widen ever so slightly at my audacity.

"Miss Verity," he said, grabbing my other wrist as well before giving me another gentle shake. "I’m not who you think I am."

His voice carried even more frustration this time.

"But you told me you’d be everything I wanted," I mumbled, continuing to pretend I was speaking to Roman.

Ragnar closed his eyes and swallowed.

"I’ll leave you here to rest. I’ll check on you tomorrow," he said, slowly guiding me backward as he turned to leave.

But I already knew what I was going to do.

"Then I’ll come after you," I murmured. "I’ll keep looking for you, Roman."

The moment those words left my mouth, Ragnar stopped.

He slowly turned back to face me.
