Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Eww again.

Leilani.

"I lied."

"I lied."

The words echoed in my mind like the sound of music from a broken tape, and the more I heard it, the more frustrated I grew. And the more heartbroken I felt.

Goddess, I had believed him.

I had believed everything he said to me.

As soon as I heard those words, my heart dropped. Anger and frustration coiled tight within me. However, just as I tried to walk away from him, he continued to speak with a detached tone, his voice ringing in the quiet air between us as he rasped;

"I grew up with Ragnar. He took care of me, and to everyone who knew us, he was my father. Lani, I know you may think that I lied to you but I didn’t because even I myself love to acknowledge him as my father too. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that he isn’t my biological father."

Blah blah blah blah.

Those were the things I heard as I listened to him speak while I hated myself for still granting him the gift of my attention.

"My father is Darius the mad, the abusive elder brother of Ragnar, your father. Well since my father died two years after the death of his mate, my mother, your dad became the alpha and my adoptive father."

I froze. I had no idea who those people were but since they were my supposed family, I listened.

"So we’re cousins, not siblings?" I asked tentatively and to my utmost bewilderment, he smiled.

"I’d like to not think of you as family."

"So if you don’t want to think about me as one of your family members, then what do you like to think of me as?" I snapped. My curiosity was peaking... skyrocketing. And he wasn’t making matters any easier for me as he kept going around in circles.

"I see you as a beautiful young woman." He said and I frowned when I heard that.

"So you mean to tell me that you’ve been stalking me? That you’ve been trying to reach out to me simply because you think I am beautiful?" I asked, snorting at the craziness of it all.

And then...

Then Darius turned away from me and waved his hand. I gasped in horror when my locked door creaked open when he did that and I hadn’t even unlocked it yet!

That means he could’ve easily gone into my house if he wanted to from the start! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With wide eyes, I watched him walk into the house and I had no option but to follow him, jumping in fright when the door slammed shut as soon as I walked in.

"We’re alike, Leilani." He said after a moment of awkward silence. "I’ve never met anyone like myself until I met you."

"You are a dark knight." I pointed out. "There are six more people like you."

Darius seemed taken aback as soon as I said that but he quickly snapped himself out of his self-induced shock in an instant. He shrugged; "None of the other dark knights are like me or you. We’re different."
