Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333: A criminal.

Leilani.

By the time I finally stepped out of the bathroom several minutes later, I was all red and sore. My body still bled from open cuts lining my arms and legs and I groaned in pain with each step I took.

So in other words, I didn’t feel better. Instead, I felt worse and someone had to pay for it.

Darius was also long gone by this time, but I still couldn’t help feeling like I was being watched when I took off the towel wrapped around my body and changed into a pair of grey shorts and a blue tank top.

I didn’t even bother to comb my wet hair before wrapping it into a messy bun, and when I was done, I stepped out of the house with my car keys, that is after shooting Gavin a quick text.

A few minutes later, I parked in front of my old house— now Gavin’s home, and stepped out of my car, my heart racing with anticipation as I walked through the open gates. I barely responded to the guards that greeted me as I walked past, and—

"Leilani, what are you doing here?!" Gavin’s warm voice pulled me out of my reverie. I barely even had the chance to register his words when I felt his warm arms circle around my body, pulling me into an embrace; But because I was still very traumatized by what happened only a few hours ago, I struggled against him and pushed him so hard that he stumbled backwards.

Her eyes widened as a shocked gasp slipped out of his mouth. He whispered; "Lani?"

It took me a moment to realise what I had just done, but by this time, it was already a little too late.

My throat closed up and tears burned at the corners of my eyes. Feeling embarrassed and mortified at the same time, I shook my head at him, my voice quiet as I whispered; "I didn’t mean to... I really didn’t."

"Leilani?"

"Gavin, I would never hurt you. You know that, don’t you?" I cried, my voice breaking at each word I uttered.

"Goddess, what happened to you?" He asked, and at the sound of his voice... and the worry that dripped off each word like honey, I literally broke.

I swear, I wanted to be strong but I couldn’t. I couldn’t even help myself when I fell to the floor, gripping at the collar of my shirt and gasping for air as more tears streamed down my face.

I vaguely heard my name being called before a familiar sweet scent wafted into my nostrils, and next thing I knew, I was being pulled up by someone I didn’t get the urge to push off. Soft warm arms wrapped around my neck and a familiar voice called out to me, whispering into my ear;

"Baby, baby I am here... I am so so sorry! Please breathe! Breathe!"

But I couldn’t breathe. I wasn’t sure I knew how to anymore.

"My love, it is me. It is me, Maya, the absolute love of your life. So please, listen to me and breathe... do it one at a time. Don’t be greedy."

Following her command, I began to breathe slowly... very slowly until I felt the air return to my lungs, until I could feel warmth return to my body and until I no longer felt like I was on the very edge of death.

I do not recollect when she led me into the house but next thing I knew, she was helping me into a chair and shoving a bottle of chilled water into my hands, her touch overly soft as she brushed off my hair from the spot where it had stuck to my face. She asked softly;

"What happened to you?"

And it wasn’t until she asked that question that I also began to wonder too. I frowned, wondering what had made me spiral so badly.

Was it Darius or the things he’d said to me?

Was it because I am just getting to know that my father died three years ago and not earlier?

Was it because my entire life felt like a lie?

Was it because I now knew that the Alphas... my mates... may have something to do with my father’s death?
