Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: No.

Leilani.

"But you cannot!" She cried so loud, I could literally hear my wall clock rattle perilously, threatening to fall.

And while her loud voice made me wince in pain, goddess, I couldn’t even blame her.

I couldn’t fault her for worrying so much about me.

I lowered my gaze, feeling shame crawl over me like several reptiles and whispered; "I can and I will. He promised to make it a marriage without set boundaries. He said that I’ll always be free to do whatever I want..."

"And you’ll be fucking your cousin every night! Did you never think about that?!"

At her words, I clamped my lips shut and looked away, hating the way bile now rose at the back of my throat as if making a mockery of me... as if showing me exactly how it would feel to have his hands on my body... his lips on mine after we said I do...

And bloody hell, I shuddered, almost convulsing when the repelling images flashed across my mind.

"Exactly that!" She screeched, pounding at my face. "That expression on your face is exactly how it would feel, Leilani... Gosh, why would you even suddenly think that? What does he have to offer you?"

"His mark!" I answered coldly— emotionlessly, "his mark which is the mark of a very strong Lycan... who coincidentally is also a dark knight. My wolf would have no option but to be in tune with his... it would have no option but to accept his mark and stop troubling me so much!"

"Leilani—"

"I wouldn’t have to be in so much pain whenever my wolf decides to act up and tries to come out. Gosh, I wouldn’t even encounter problems that come with being unable to control her by then!"

"So this is about your health then..." she said suddenly, causing me to snap my lips together. "This is about your strange wolf and that power within you that you cannot understand."

"Yes. And it is also about the agony I am put through whenever it acts up like this... Maya, you wouldn’t understand it but it is worse than what you think. It is more painful than the worst cramp you could ever imagine!"

"And I may not know what he— the Darius guy— must’ve told you, but have you ever stopped to think that he could be manipulating you? That he could be doing all of these just to get under your skin, or perhaps, entrap you?"

I have always known that most men were people who would easily lie just to get what they wanted. Goddess, I didn’t even fully trust Darius to begin with. I always knew that there was something he wanted out of all of this, but hearing Maya spell it out to me made me feel some type of way.

I sighed. "I don’t know Maya, but I am desperate."

"And I get it!" She snapped back, and even though I wanted to tell her that she doesn’t... that she would never get it as she’d never had problems with her wolf before, I couldn’t bring myself to say those words.

So instead, I settled for; "I will marry him."

A couple of seconds passed between us with each of us not knowing what to say to the other.

Her eyes met mine and held, and as if suddenly realizing that I had made up my mind, she sighed and said; "Okay."

For real? She’s agreeing?

Goo—

"Gavin has been looking for an antidote and if he doesn’t get it by Saturday, then you’re free to do what you want!" She snapped suddenly, interrupting my thoughts.

At first, I didn’t want to settle for that. I didn’t want to agree with her. But after seeing the stubborn set of her chin and the way she raked her eyes over my body, as if daring me to refute her opinion, I shook my head and muttered;

"Okay."

"So be it."

—

It is a couple of days after my agreement with Maya and guess what? We’ve finally come to a united conclusion; which is...

*Inserts drumrolls*

Darius was right!

There was no such thing as an antidote for the Moonveil draught elixir.
