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

Chapter 208: Strange Phenomenon.

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.

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.

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.

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.
