Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Her Royal prisoner.

Chalice.

It felt like I was drowning, like I was falling deep into an abyss that only I could see. Whenever I closed my eyes to sleep, I would always see Leilani’s face hovering just above mine, laughing hysterically as she pointed her perfectly manicured finger at me.

That image haunted me so much that I jolted from my sleep, my heavy eyelids slowly peeling open as I stopped to glance around me.

And I noticed to my horror that I was in a holding cell.

A whole me; Chalice Blackthorne, the golden child of Beta Malakai Blackthorne and his wife, was in a holding cell meant for criminals.

Tears stung my eyes. Besides being humiliated like this, what hurt the most was the fact that I now wasn’t only the daughter of my parents, but I was this pack’s Luna too, and they had no right to treat me this way.

They had no fucking rights!

The damp acrid smell of the cold cemented room filled my nostrils, causing me to immediately feel nauseous; And I scrunched up my nose, my stomach churning with both hunger and disgust.

I retched several times until I started to feel pain, but that.. that didn’t stop the weird sensation spreading in my stomach nor the tears now pouring down my face in torrents.

A sudden movement in the distance caught my attention and I looked up slowly, my head banging as I squinted into the darkness. I winced when a sudden bright light filled the room and my eyes widened slightly when I saw a familiar figure standing quietly to the side, his hands clasped behind his back and his head hung low.

More tears streamed down my face and I dropped my head in shame, my voice breaking as I whispered; "Lou?"

"Babe."

"Lou, what are you doing here? Don’t you know that you’re not meant to be here?"

The moment those words left my mouth, Louis looked at me like I had suddenly sprouted a second head. His eyes gleamed with mischief but then he shrugged and muttered;

"I’m guarding your cell."

The fucking irony!

"And do you think that the Alphas will spare you when they find out that—"

"Chill, they wouldn’t find out anything until you tell them." He snapped irritatedly, interrupting me. "My elder brother, James, is slightly ill and I am only here to help him out with his rounds and guard your cell as he’d been assigned to it by Alpha Kael."

"Oh,"

Awkward silence settled between us. My eyes dropped from his face to watch my feet instead and I shuddered when I felt his fingers lightly graze my exposed shoulders. He murmured;

"See the men you gave up everything to be with, Babe." He said slowly, and then hooking his hands around my neck, he added; "You tried so hard to be with them. You literally dumped me, discarding what we shared just for them... now, look at you. You’re miserable."

"Lou please..."

"It’s just a day after your wedding, and while you should be on your honeymoon or someplace far away shaking your ass on a yacht, you’re in a holding cell, rotting away and being punished for something so... meaningless."

I closed my eyes again as I let shame wash over me. And maybe it was desperation, but when his words registered in my mind, filling me with more despair than I could’ve ever imagined, I pressed my lips together and cried; "Help me, Lou."

I felt him stiffen.

"Help me. They wouldn’t let me go and I am pregnant... The child in my womb is yours too, and even though I deserve what I’m going through right now, he doesn’t. Please."

Lou’s eyes widened slightly as soon as he heard those words. His hands cupped my face, and using it to push my face upward, he leaned close, his warm breath tickling my face as he whispered; "Don’t play with me, little miss Blackthorne."

"I am not," I cried, and with a softer firmer voice, I added; "I swear to the goddess, Louis, I am not lying."

A strange emotion flashed across his eyes then. He pulled away, drew himself to his full height and whispered;

"I am sorry."

"Huh? Lou please!"
