Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: A trap.

Kael.

For a moment, all I felt and wanted to feel was anger. Anger at Zevran for stubbornly reaching out to that mad Lycan despite all our warnings. Anger at myself for not being able to do anything besides stand here and watch Lani deteriorate further with each passing second.

And do you know what was most annoying?

The fact that there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing at all besides wait for a miracle...

A miracle which now was in the form of a possessed looking man dressed in a shiny three piece suit with glitters all over his slick black hair and the most menacing look to ever exist on his face.

His spread out both of his hands as his eyes raked from the tops of our heads to our feet. Then he drawled; "What did you say you needed me for again?"

I gulped. I could swear that I had heard him speak. I could swear that his deep voice had reverberated across the room, but I could also swear that I never saw his lips move.

He had spoken in my head. In our heads.

"How is that possible?" I found myself asking softly, unable to raise my voice any more than it already is. "How can you get into my head? I am an alpha and..."

"I do not think that this is the time to ask such questions. Your main concern should be what to do about her."

Her.

I turned to Leilani without a thought, cocking my eyebrows when I found Darius watching me like a predator would do to its prey.

Something about his swirling purple eyes nearly reminded me of Leilani— nearly— until he smiled at me.

"What did you say was injected into her?" He asked, snapping me out of my reverie.

"We don’t know. That’s exactly what I told you over the phone—" Zevran began to say but stopped when Darius flippantly waved him off.

He didn’t for once turn to look at him, and at the same time, never stopped looking at me as he asked; "Kael Luciano Stormborn, what did you see the strange girl inject into Leilani?"

For a moment, I was stunned into silence. Shocked that he knew my middle name— a name I rarely used, and equally shocked that he knew without being told that I had been the one to witness it happen.

I wanted to meet his eyes defiantly, wanted to talk to him like an Alpha would to another Alpha. But one look at his swirling eyes and it wasn’t him I saw anymore.

It was Leilani.

She was smiling at me. Waving slightly at me. Her silky silver hair floated around her head like a curtain, and her lips—pink and full pouted slightly as she blew a kiss at me.

Heat rushed to my groin when that happened and I do not know what happened next, but when I finally came to, I was standing right in front of Darius with my hands held out and my eyes slightly closed.

I whispered; "Beautiful."

"Was beauty what she injected into her?" Caelum’s snarky voice was what snapped me back to the present. I blinked like a man in a trance and shook my head.

"No... no. It was a clear substance. It smelled metallic and looked... I don’t know... oily."

But as I talked, I noticed Darius watching me closely, his eyes darting from my eyes to my lips and then back again.

"That doesn’t sound like any organic substance that I know of."
