Chalice.
It’s been three days. Three whole days of being locked up in this godforsaken cell. Three whole days of starvation and filth... three days since I last enjoyed the freedom I used to have.
And three days since I last saw any of the triplets.
Even Louis in this desperate moment had decided not to show, and I couldn’t fault him for it because the triplets had specifically asked that no one is allowed into my cell.
They had successfully ostracised me from the rest of the pack, and for that reason, no one could help me— not even my parents.
However, I wasn’t mad anymore— maybe at some point, rage was all I felt— but now, by the gods, I had long gone past the stage of being mad.
Now, I was full blown panicking. Panicking because I now knew the extent to which they could go to make me pay for my crimes.
I now knew how badly they could hurt me for putting their one true mate through the extent of suffering I had put Leilani through.
And I hate to admit this, but now, I have come to the conclusion that I lost and she won.
But not for long.
Not when I had something new up my sleeves. Not when I could make them love me again as much as they always have and more. Not when I could get back all I have lost plus a little more just by snapping my fingers.
Now, all I needed was a way out of here. All I needed was a way to get my hands on Leilani— not to kill her though. No, she deserved worse than that and her blood was too filthy to be on my hands; So I had devised something better. Something more powerful... something interesting.
A small smile spread across my face despite the pain in my back, arms and ankles due to being chained up for so long, and just the thought of the things I had in store for her had me laughing hysterically.
Excited, I tipped my head back and barked out a laugh, one that would’ve scared me if it wasn’t coming from me.
Goddess, I just needed to get back all I have lost from her and then push Lou into killing her off. It wasn’t so difficult now that I think of it, so let’s just take it as my way of killing two birds with one stone.
End of story.
"If you intend to pretend to be insane, Chalice, just know that I wouldn’t buy it. Even if everyone does, I wouldn’t." A voice snapped me out of my reverie and I froze when my eyes slowly peeled open to find Zevran glowering down at me.
The expression on his face had my blood running cold in an instant and even though my body was beyond battered and sore, I managed to sit up and beam a smile at him, one that he didn’t return— not like he ever does.
He snarled; "I came to have a conversation with you."
"What’s it about?" I slurred back, smiling again when his eyes hardened.
Goddess, I was scared of him. Terrified even. But I couldn’t stop laughing. I couldn’t help the stupid smile gracing my face... and I began to realize to my horror that maybe, just maybe I was indeed going crazy.
Hopefully, I get to destroy Leilani first before this madness creeps in.
At my voice, Zevran pulled out a chair in front of me and sat down. And hades, my mouth instantly watered when he crossed his ankles and folded his large arms across his chest.
By the gods, he was handsome. Mouthwatering... tantalizing. Geez, if there’s a word better than those three, then that’s what I’d have used in describing him.
His sweet masculine scent seeped into my nostrils and I closed my eyes before I could help myself, a low moan slipping through my lips.
He snorted. "You know what I want to talk about, Chalice."
Leilani.
My face fell. I frowned. "I don’t want to talk about it."
A slow smile spread across his face before he lifted his gaze to meet mine, and when that happened, my heart began to pound against my chest.
Why?
Because he looked scary. Terrifying. His lower lip was curled into a snarl and his usually beautiful dark eyes were so stormy and had hardened so much, it looked like I was staring straight into the depths of death.
