Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Never too late with her.

Leilani.

First came silence, a never ending silence. Then came pain.

I knew no other feeling besides pain for so long that I had become so accustomed to it, it became a part of me. And sometimes, a few times where I’d lose hope and wait patiently for my death, the pain would subside only to be replaced with a weird kind of chill.

—That or the annoying sound of one of my mates calling out to me.

For the past couple of —days? Months? Hours? I had no idea of time anymore— I had grown too used to and had become quite dependent on that quiet voice at the back of my head. The one that claims to have always been there but had been too far away for me to hear; So today, when she whispered to me to open my eyes, I didn’t question her.

I didn’t complain about how many times I had tried to do that in the past, I simply did as told and gasped when my eyelids fluttered open to reveal a crisp white ceiling.

A frown formed on my face when I felt my chest burning, but that wasn’t all. My throat was burning too. My body felt like I’d jumped from a three-storey building and the chaos happening all around me made me instinctively begin to question if world war three was already happening.

"Lani?" A soft voice that sounded somewhat shocked yet familiar called to me, and as soon as I turned to the sound, half-expecting it to be Zevran or perhaps even Jarek, I was annoyed to see that it was Caelum instead.

I frowned.

His brows were drawn together in a look of worry and his hands trembled slightly when he pushed them forward carefully to examine my temple, my cheek, my eyes...

"Let go, I can do just fine!" I rasped, swatting his hands off me.

The sound of my voice caused the others in the room to turn to me and my breath hitched when both Zevran and Darius looked over— not like I cared about Darius anyway.

My main focus was on Zevran.

Zevran the man whose voice would always slip through the cracks of my fuzzy mind. Zevran who didn’t leave my side for a moment... Yes, him and Kael.

Where the fuck is Kael?

Just then, I saw him standing to the side, his eyes portraying nothing but horror. His response to me being awake shocked me to no end and I balked, waving my hands dismissively just as Darius drawled;

"Leilani, meet—"

"Miranda. I know who she is," I rasped through gritted teeth, feeling slightly confused, "...however, I don’t understand how or why I know her, but it feels like I’ve met her before."

As soon as I said that, a look of horror appeared on the said Miranda’s face. It rivalled the ones on Zevran’s and Kael’s faces and at the same time, annoyed me so much that I found myself saying;

"What the hell is wrong with all of you?" then glancing at the door, I added; "...and Maya, why are you just standing there? Is something wrong with me?"

For a moment, nobody moved. Nobody said a thing or even gave me something as little as a smile.

I groaned when a strange kind of head-splitting headache tore through my skull, and do you know what was funny?

The fact that no one tried to help.

I frowned again. "What is the matter? Do I look different?"
