Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 208

Caelum.

With the intention of looking for an avenue to channel my anger and frustration after being forced to witness Leilani’s and Frostclaw’s lovey-doveyness at Time’s square, I decided that I would spend the rest of the evening literally drilling out information from ex Beta Malakai and

his wife.

I however never hoped to bump into anyone, much less Chalice who for some reason had dyed her hair a sharp shade of silver. And God help me, as soon as I saw that, I had a very crazy urge to deny being responsible for her pregnancy.

I know that that must not have come out the right way, so I’ll explain:

I was just embarrassed. Utterly and absolutely

embarrassed to be associated with her. If there

was some word to describe an extreme amount of embarrassment, so severe that I could literally feel my hair falling off my scalp, then that was exactly what I felt.

2

It was so bad that at some point, I couldn’t help but wonder if I really wanted the mother of my

future kids to be someone like her. Someone so callous and unthinking.

1

Someone with the inability to comprehend or

make adult decisions.

Her hair contrasted against her smooth pale face, making her appear ghostly… and I couldn’t help wondering why the color silver looked so hideous on her when it was so beautiful on Leilani.

‘It’s because one of them is a counterfeit!” My wolf snarled, but I didn’t argue with him. If anything, I agreed with him.

I frowned when she beamed a smile at me, as if

expecting me to commend her for walking around looking like a freaking Leilani 2.0, and after giving her a piece of my mind- which was also not a good piece- I turned away and left, mumbling under my breath;

“First it’s a wig. Now, it’s a dye. Only the heavens know what she’ll do next.”

“Don’t forget to take it out.” Zevran hissed, walking away, and in that moment, I turned around to look at Chalice, not missing the way her eyes flashed with contempt and something else. Something darker. My heart skipped a beat.

She turned quickly to face Kael, but even then, I couldn’t help but sense an ominous feeling coiling deep in the base of my stomach.

Something about her felt weird and unsettling… and trust me, it wasn’t in a good way. Against my best will, I watched her for a while,

eavesdropping on her conversation with Kael,

and as I did, I noticed how her expression kept getting darker… more calculating…

And knowing Chalice, I knew that she was up to no good.

To her, someone else was to be blamed for all of

her troubles. She never bore responsibility. Never took the blame.

A shudder ran down my spine when she subconsciously fisted her hands into her dress, and from the dark look on her face (or maybe it was due to the half-assed mark we never

consummated on her neck), I knew.

I immediately knew who her next target was, and

I’d rather choke down a whole mountain filled

with molten magma than let her go on with whatever she was planning against her sister, Leilani. 2

Even if it meant going even lower than hell.

A strange surge of anger coursed through me as I slipped into the dark halls of the pack’s dungeon, and as I walked past several stinky cells occupied by criminals, murderers and people of the sort, a series of thoughts began to plague my mind.

Flashes of memories from several years ago filled my head, and now, at this moment, all I could think about was how blind I have been for so long. How oblivious I have been to the things happening all around me.

I could remember how separated Leilani had always been from her family. How different and haggard she’s always looked. She was always dressed in Chalice’s hand-me-downs while

Chalice’s wardrobe was always up to date with the newest collections from Gucci, Chanel, Louis

Vuitton and the likes…

And now, thinking about it, all I could say was: I

was stupid.?

Stupid to believe Chalice when she pointed out how her sister who was blinded with jealousy always liked to wear her clothes and never wore

hers.

I was stupid to have thought that the same girl who was timid and segregated could have it in her to bully her twin.

And I was the most stipid to not have thought about it when Beta Malakai said the words; “My only daughter!” on the day he publicly announced our engagement to Chalice.

He’d told us and the world that he only had one daughter-Chalice, and we all never thought to ask him what he meant.

We all never considered the possibility of how

that could be true because the said child had a

twin sister.

I gasped.

Could it be… could it possibly be that they are not

in fact, twins?

Or is there some sort of scientific voodoo going on around here right now?

When I stormed into Beta Malakai’s cell and

found him hunched over a metallic chair with his eyes glinting with malice and his chin set into a stubborn tilt, I knew then and there that this

would take a while.

And frankly, I do not care.

It’s been hours. Two hours to be precise since I started trying to drill out something- anything— from this old man’s stiff lips, but no matter how hard I tried, he just wouldn’t budge.

Out of respect for him, I’ve been trying to go easy on him but he wasn’t helping matters at all;

19:00

Because tell me why whenever I asked him any question, he would easily answer; but once Leilani’s name is mentioned, he would

immediately go mute like her name was too heavy

a burden to bear?

Like he hated her too much to even say her

name?

His attitude riled me up to no end and my hands trembled in rage as I picked up a pair of silver scissors from the tray of dark weapons spread in front of me.

And as I walked over to him with the cold object burning the tips of my fingers, causing the flesh to sizzle, he flinched.

I saw the horror on his face. Felt the way the smell of his fear permeated the air.

I flashed him a smile- one that I was certain he had seen before- and asked; “What is your deal with Leilani?”

“I-I don’t understand!” He cried,

“Why do you hate her so much?” I asked, and I saw a conflicted emotion sweep past his face before he suddenly schooled it back into place and then shook his head vehemently.

“I don’t hate her,” he cried, his voice trembling, “I just do not like what she stood for.”

“And what does she stand for?” I asked, and when he wouldn’t respond right away, I began to list off a few things I could think of. “Because she has different features than the rest of you?”

He shook his head.

“Because she doesn’t have a wolf?” I continued

but soon stopped and shook my head. “You know she has a wolf now?”

He seemed to ponder over that then shook his

head. “I don’t care.”

But I had heard the slight trembling in his voice. I

heard the tremors he tried to hide; And I knew

that he was scared.

But he wasn’t scared of me.

It was something else.

I smiled. “Why do you not care? Is she not your daughter?” I asked, and as soon as those words slipped past my lips, I could swear that I heard his heart drop. His hands fisted into his sides and his eyes filled with something strange.

Right then and there, I immediately had my answer and my face dropped when I realised where the whole Leilani hate originated from.

I hissed; “She’s not your daughter.”

It was not a question but a statement, and I wasn’t so surprised when he dropped his head and looked away, silently answering my question.

“What about Chalice? Is she your daughter?” I asked quietly, already knowing the answer.

“Yes.”

“And are they twins?” I asked, noting the conflict in his eyes when he raised them to look at me.

“Yes.” He answered, surprising me even more. I

frowned.

How’s that even possible?
