Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Misunderstandings.

Kael.

"How the fuck were you so stupid!" Zevran growled at Caelum from behind me but I was too frustrated to turn around, and too pissed to even bring myself to look at them.

Especially Caelum.

The idiot who has just made life ten times harder by impregnating Chalice.

I burned with rage as I squeezed hard on the wine glass in my hands, and didn’t even realize how hard I was squeezing until...

*Crash!*

It broke.

Some bits of glass tore into my flesh, drawing blood. But I didn’t feel any pain. I didn’t even feel anything at all. I simply felt bad.

Absolute-fucking-ly bad!

How the hell do I explain this news to Leilani now? How would she look at me after finding out that we’d gotten Chalice pregnant, especially since I’d been trying to get into her good graces?

My eyebrows twitched when something flew past my head and I turned around just then to see that both Caelum and Zevran were now involved in a heated argument. And while Zevran was just as pissed as I was about the whole thing, Caelum wasn’t.

He felt it was okay since we had all planned to marry her in the first place.

I growled; "What?!"

"Didn’t we all agree to wed her? We’d even fixed a date and all... so why the hell are you guys acting like I committed a heinous crime because she got pregnant with my child only a few weeks before the wedding?"

At that, I dropped back into my chair and closed my eyes. My chest was suddenly feeling very tight so I had to breathe in and out countless times, hoping desperately that it would help with the unease.

It didn’t.

If anything, the ache in my chest happened to spread out even more. I sighed. "I don’t know... Caelum..."

"You don’t know what?" Caelum snarled.

"I don’t know if I want to wed her anymore... I don’t think I want to go on with this wedding anymore."

Now that the words were finally out of my chest, I felt lighter. Better.

But that was not the case with Caelum who looked now like he was about to murder me. His face had gone stone cold and his hands, once holding onto a book now looked chalk white with veins popping up on them like they were about to burst.

He flung his book aggressively at me, his voice icy as he seethed; "You don’t mean that, do you?"

"I do." I answered softly as I turned to look at Zevran who just seemed... there. Obviously, he agreed with me. Hell, he’s never even wanted Chalice from the onset!

"God!" Caelum growled, rubbing at his face desperately as he turned away from Zevran and I. His eyes had deepened and in just a few seconds, he looked like he’d aged about a few years.

Suddenly, he plopped down on the chair close to mine and dropped his gaze, his voice rough as he asked; "is this because of Leilani?"

"Oh, shit... no, of course not! No!" I rushed out quickly, ignoring the stutter in my words and how uncontrollably my heart was beating fast.

Caelum didn’t seem to buy my words but he didn’t push it. Instead for the first time, he nodded as if in understanding and drawled;

"Then why?"

"Because I don’t know... I feel like I am not ready for this kind of long commitment..."

"I also feel like we do not know her well enough." Zevran butted in, causing us both to turn to him in surprise.
