Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Another bloody lie.

Caelum.

Mad and jealous.

Those were the only words capable of explaining just how I felt at the moment.

I hated that Leilani was flaunting her relationship with Frostclaw in our faces like it was suddenly something to be so proud of. I hated that she wouldn’t even look at me without frowning. I hated her indifference towards me, but what I hated the most was how badly it affected me.

How terrible I felt watching her happy in the arms of another man.

My blood boiled in my veins, sizzling with vengeance when my eyes latched on their clasped hands.

’I hate to say this but they look so good together,’ My wolf, Ashen, said from within me, and that in itself was more than enough reasons to see red.

’Shut up!’ I snarled back at him, and in response, he made a sound akin to a huff before retreating to the farthest corner of my mind.

—And I instinctively knew that he was hurt.

He was just as mad as I was, if not more, with the concept of watching our mate with another man.

Snorting, I turned away from Jarek’s retreating figure, only to bump into a red faced Chalice. I frowned instantly.

"What happened to you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Chalice sniffled softly, her red rimmed eyes pooling with tears as she murmured under her breath; "Leilani and Alpha Frostclaw bumped into me on their way out. I think it was intentional because see..." she cried, holding out her dress for me to see a dark stain; "...she said nasty things to me and ruined my dress... and it’s Chanel!"

That wretch!

As soon as she said that, whatever feeling I’d felt earlier towards Leilani quickly dissipated. It morphed into rage and annoyance. I spat; "What did she say?"

"You don’t have to worry about it!" He said quickly— too quickly. "I don’t want you worrying about something as trivial as that."

While that should’ve sounded placating, it didn’t. If anything, it only strengthened my resolve to fight for her. Only reminded me that Leilani would keep tormenting her if we didn’t curb her nonsensical behavior.

’Chalice can fight for herself, can’t she?’ Ashen drawled in my mind. ’She has a wolf and she is strong; so why’s it that her wolfless sister always manages to bully her with ease?’

I pondered over these words for a minute, but before I could come up with something viable, I felt her hands slowly wrap around my neck, pulling me into a hug.

"You’re not trivial." I gritted out in annoyance. "You’ve never been trivial... and you’ll never be."

"I’m so sorry," she purred, making me cock my eyebrows at her, "...but I don’t want you to be mad at her. Just ignore her."

Chalice looked like she was about to say something else but for some reason today, I didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t even want to talk to her or waste my time consoling her.

I strangely felt uncomfortable. Anxious even. So I did the only thing I knew was capable of shutting her up for good— even if it was only for a while.

I kissed her.

—

Two days later, the first news we got from the hospital was one informing us that Kael was awake. Zevran and I had been having breakfast when we learned of this and quickly, we dropped everything we were doing and rushed out of the house.

By the time we arrived at the hospital, I was shocked to find Kael, who I’d seen only a couple of hours ago, sitting down. He looked perfectly fine, save for his overly pale complexion and the bandages around his legs and head.

My heart raced with excitement upon seeing him, and slowly... very slowly, I made my way towards his bed. "Kael..." I began to say but before I could finish, I felt something strike my nose so hard, I almost blacked out.

Bam!
