Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: The Uninvited Guest.

Leilani.

Like a completely rational person with a functioning brain, my first reaction to seeing Zevran standing on my porch was confusion.

Then I tiptoed to my couch, sat down and listened while he continued to ring the doorbell over and over again until it soon began to sound like some sad music on loop.

But I knew that I wasn’t opening that damn door. I never will.

After the wave of confusion vanished, another emotion struck me. Anger... plus a ton of curiosity.

I wanted to know how he had managed to find out about where I live.

I wanted to know why he was here, if he had followed me, and why these people couldn’t allow me to breathe peacefully at least for a second.

Suddenly, after several minutes, he finally stopped ringing the doorbell. I watched him quietly as he tried to peek into the camera hole, and as if suddenly realizing that he wouldn’t be able to see me through it, he shook his head and turned away.

—so much for being the brightest triplet!

And then he got into his Porsche and drove off.

About forty minutes later, my doorbell rang again while I was preparing some Chinese noodles. I peeped into the intercom again, ready to curse out if I found anyone related to my family or the triplets, but upon realizing that it was a delivery guy, I walked up to the door, opened it and asked;

"What are you doing?"

Silence. He didn’t respond. "How are you here? I didn’t order anything."

"And I knew you were in, you just didn’t want to see me."

I froze. I knew that voice. I hated that voice.

My heart raced in my chest when the delivery guy suddenly dropped the carton of milk on the floor, and then he slowly began to advance towards me, his eyes shielded behind dark sunglasses.

"Leilani, I only wish to talk to you. For a moment. You don’t have to be nice to me, all you need to do is just hear me out."

"Zevran?" I breathed out in both surprise and anger. Surprised that he was back here so soon and angry because he’d managed to fool me so easily.

I couldn’t stop the tremor shooting up my spine or control the jolts of electricity running up my body when he stood so close to me, it felt as though we were practically rubbing chests against each other. My heart raced.

"Yes, it’s me." He whispered softly, taking off his sunglasses and face cap simultaneously. "I’m sorry, I just really wanted to talk to you."

I frowned, folding my arms across my chest. "What now?" I snorted. "Are you also here to remind me of how much money you’ll make when I let you collaborate with Frostclaw? And how it would also magically mean improving my sister’s livelihood?"

Zevran gasped. "No, I didn’t..." then stopping to glance around, he asked; "Can we go inside and talk?"

"And you’re dumber than you look if you think I’ll let you come into my house after everything." I retorted sharply, my voice sounding so cold, even I was stunned.

He sighed dejectedly, rubbing at his face so much, he turned red. A moment of silence passed between us before he finally spoke. He said; "Don’t you think you should return to your family?"

I froze. What the...??

You guys remember when I said Zevran was the smartest triplet? Well, I take back my words. He’s even dumber than Chalice ever was!

"What makes you think you can come here, ask me to do shit... and then believe I’ll do it?"

"Nothing besides the fact that I am still your Alpha." He answered quickly "You were never branded a rogue. You only separated from your family because you were jealous of your sister; And now that I think about it, that’s totally understandable. I’d be mad too if everyone loved Kael and Caelum and shoved me to the side like I didn’t matter."

"Zevran..."

"I’m telling you that I understand how you felt!" He continued dumbly. "Though you went too far with your theatrics. You lied a lot. Hurt your sister countless times. You even made rogues attack the pack and murdered your own grandmother... but I don’t know, I don’t think I hold it against you anymore. Your family doesn’t even seem to be bothered by it these days." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The laugh that wrenched free from my throat was dark and icy. I laughed until the corners of my eyes teared up, and until I was gasping for air, unable to bear his stupidity anymore.

Was that why he had asked to come inside?

Why he’s been looking around as if scared of being caught?

"No, I’m not returning to your pack because I belong to one now. No, I’m not apologizing to any goddamn person for something I didn’t do. No, I’m not going to hand over what you’re seeking from Frostclaw to you simply because I’m trying ’to be the bigger person’ and no. You can take your shitty self and your box of expired milk off my porch!"
