Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: My wolf.

Leilani.

"No... no!" Chalice stuttered, her face turning into a bright shade of pink. She glared at me for a very brief second before she turned to Zevran and gritted out; "My nickname isn’t Candy and I don’t know why Leilani here keeps calling me that."

Maybe I was just twisted or maybe I had fully embraced my villain arc because as soon as I heard her words and saw how terribly she was struggling for words, I felt satisfied. So satisfied that a wide smile cracked my face.

"I never knew you hated that name this badly," I said again, chuckling when her gaze went from dark to pleading in an instant. She cried;

"I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

"Oh, no you do!" I answered gravelly, flashing her a smile despite the way her parents glared at me with open contempt. I added; "You do... but don’t worry, I’m too ill to argue with you right now, so you’ll just have to wait until I get your present."

The way she nearly fell to her knees gave me all the satisfaction that I needed... and more. She turned away from me to drape an arm around Zevran, but as soon as she touched him, he shrugged her off and turned to me, his eyes thinning in suspicion.

He seethed; "Leilani, what are you after?"

And for the first time, I couldn’t hide it. I didn’t even want to sugarcoat it. I simply drawled; "Your downfall."

Mom and Chalice gasped, and while Dad and Zevran looked like they were about to have constipation, Jarek was obviously entertained. He leaned against the wall, smiling as he took in the scene with keen interest.

Sometimes, he’d whistle when I said something he liked, and other times, he’d simply nod, as if telling me to go on.

"Leilani, don’t be stupid!"

That was Chalice, the whore. The two faced bitch who has made my life nothing but a living hell. I smiled at her but for some reason, she didn’t return the smile. Instead she cowered behind her father, with tears pooling in her eyes as she glared at me.

"You don’t have the power to bring down my fiancés so stop with your half-assed threats."

"I may not easily bring them down, but you..." I let my voice trail off, watching as she frowned before turning away from me totally. "Also, you don’t want to know how stupid I can be, do you?"

My tone held a tinge of mockery... or warning; and she instantly guessed it because she then clamped her mouth shut and lowered her lashes, trembling slightly when I wouldn’t stop glaring at her.

For the first time since the Big Bang occurred, Chalice looked at me with pleading eyes, tears spilling from her eyes as she turned to Father and cried;

"Let’s go and see Kael. Forget about Leilani please."

"You’ve not told me why she keeps calling you Candy!" Zevran seethed just as Father spat too; 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Why do you seem so afraid of her?"

"Because, Mr Blackthorne and Alpha Stormborn, your woman here seems to have a sweet tooth." Jarek butted in, whilst draping his arm possessively around my shoulders.

I watched Zevran as his eyes followed Jarek’s hands. I noticed the way his frown deepened when I— the firecracker— leaned impossibly closer to Jarek and placed my hand over his chest.

Just then, Jay glanced at me with a soft smile, his eyes glinting with mischief as he raised his head to meet Zevran’s gaze and drawled; "Maybe you should get to know your woman very well before your wedding. I heard she loves tons and tons of candy."

Chalice’s face crumpled again, and goddess, it took everything in me not to laugh at her.

Seeing her like this— so lost, so frightened— made me extremely giddy, and maybe you all would call me a witch now, but it was the cutest thing I’ve seen today.
