Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Worse than death.

Zevran.

I knew that there was something going on between Chalice and this stand-in guard... but I just couldn’t prove it yet!

This was the thought swarming through my mind as I walked away from Chalice and her specially picked bodyguard. However, due to how suspicious I was, I had only walked a short distance before I turned around and quietly watched the bodyguard lift Chalice into his arms and walk away hurriedly; But if there was one thing I didn’t miss, it was the way they both seemed so familiar with each other.

It was how Chalice had blatantly refused his services at first, only to switch up so suddenly, it felt surreal.

I turned briefly to the guard standing not so far off from me, and guarding the dining area. I ordered; "Keep an eye on both of them."

For a second, the young soldier seemed so shocked that I would talk to him. His eyes widened for a second and then he dropped his gaze, quite unable to meet my eyes anymore. He muttered; "Yes, Alpha"

"And make sure to give me reports every single day. If you see anything out of the ordinary, then make sure to make a video or something for proper documentation. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Alpha."

"Good."

I made to walk away when suddenly I looked back at him again because for some reason, I couldn’t help but think that he looked quite familiar. Too familiar. His gaze fell under my intense scrutiny; But deciding to let this go... at least for now, I asked;

"What is your name?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He gulped. "Jon."

Jon.

Jon.

That also sounded familiar. But shrugging the thought off my mind, I walked away, returning to the dining area where I sat back down between my brothers; and funny enough, they didn’t seem so surprised that Chalice didn’t return with me.

If anything, they looked visibly relieved.

Uncle Damien’s eyes flashed when I walked in. He cleared his throat, flashed a grin at his son and set his fork down, his eyes not once leaving my face as he asked;

"Where’s the lady?"

I know what he meant. I knew who he was talking about, but deciding to act dumb, I furrowed my brows and asked, "Who?"

"Your traitorous Luna." He hissed, and as soon as he said those words, silence settled in the room. Everyone’s eyes turned to my brothers and I skeptically, as if afraid that we would go off on him; And even though I wasn’t mad at his choice of words per say, I was mad that he had the audacity to say it right in our faces.

I was pissed that he had the effrontery to look smug, as if savoring this very tiny win.

"Cat got your tongue? Or is she up to more mischief?!" He asked sarcastically, disrespecting me further;

And maybe it was because I was first frustrated with the whole Chalice issue... then there was Leilani and Alpha Frostclaw who could not stop thinking about; But I found myself rising to my feet so fast that my chair fell to the floor, my fork held tightly in my grip as I literally went off on him.

I vaguely heard the noises behind me as people tried to stop me from what I was about to do; But they were too late.

Too too late.

I had already stabbed the fork into the back of his hand, still not remotely satisfied when his loud cry filled my ears and his blood splattered onto the white tablecloth.

Due to the force I’d used, the fork had gone straight through his body and pierced into the table below. But was I still satisfied?

No. Of course not.

My eyes met his then, and only the goddess knew what he saw because then he shrunk deeper into his chair, his face contorted into a look of fear, wincing in pain as his lower lip trembled.

"I’m... I’m sorry!" He cried loudly, but I ignored him. God, I felt possessed.

Twisting the metal deeper, I spat; "She’s your Luna and everyone else’s. Do you understand that?"

He would remember this and try to repay it... and I hope he does.

I didn’t know for how long I drove my car or where I was headed, all I knew was that I needed to clear my head. That I needed to be as far away from the main house as possible... that I needed to have a few drinks in me as well before I lost my mind.

I stopped suddenly and turned off my car’s engine as soon as I stopped in front of a very familiar house, and it wasn’t until this moment that I realized that it was Leilani’s house...

It had to be hers.

Heck, it was always hers.

My breath caught when just as I arrived, she slipped out of her house as well, clad in dark leather pants and a dark hoodie that was so large, it could easily size me—and I was almost twice her size.

Her hair was styled into a high ponytail and her beautiful purple eyes were hidden behind the most hideous sunglasses I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

But damn... she still managed to pull off the look like a model— and better. She was still so breathtaking even though most of her features were hidden behind her clothes... and my wolf, the bastard growled in desire at the sight of her.

As soon as she got out, her smell immediately hit my nostrils, and I guess she felt the same way because then she also stopped abruptly and glanced around, as if looking for something before quickly slipping into her car.

I frowned.

One, because she was dressed suspiciously, and two because she was acting suspiciously.

I knew that I should let her be, that I shouldn’t follow her around like a pervert. Goddess, she had told me and my brothers times without number to stay away from her; But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but notice how difficult it was for me to be away from her... how as good as impossible it was to not be worried about her.

Especially now that it looked like she was driving headfirst into some sort of danger.

Hell, there was not a second in a day that I did not think about her; And for this reason, I leaned into my chair, watching her quietly as she drove off into the distance. My heart pounded wildly against my chest in anticipation as I also turned on my car and followed a few metres away from her, maintaining a safe distance from her to ensure that she doesn’t catch me in the act.

Because only the heavens knew who she was going to meet or why she had decided to go this late into the night; But I’d rather die protecting her than lose her again... and worse, to death.
