Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377: An alternate universe.

Kael.

I thought I was mad when I woke up to the scent of Leilani filling the air like some damned incense. I thought that perhaps I was losing it when I heard her soft voice coming from a couple of rooms away, echoing around the house like ghosts of my past that had returned in a bid to tempt me.

My eyes flew open in panic and I threw the blanket off my now sweat soaked body before I swiftly rose from the bed... But like this, wide awake, her voice still tempted me more than it had in my sleep. It still rang in my head as if reminding me of what could be but isn’t.

"What the heck is happening?" I hissed under my breath as I paddled to the bathroom barefooted and sprinkled some cold water on my face.

The shock of having water so cold against my skin jerked me fully awake, but do you know what happened next?

I didn’t stop hearing her voice. If anything, it got louder.

I didn’t stop perceiving her very... goddess, her very mouth watering scent.

Hell, I could even swear that her scent has become a lot more potent now that I am wide awake!

Earlier, I had thought... hoped... that it was just my mind playing tricks at me. That it may have been some kind of sexual dream, you know, or a sneak peek into one of my deepest fantasies; But like this, with me wide awake, it now meant one of two things. Which were:

One: that she was somewhere in this house, taunting me with her sweet voice.

And two: that I had finally lost my sanity.

Leaning towards the second option, I threw on a sweatshirt and stepped out of my room, my heart hammering wildly in my chest because... I could still hear her. Still feel her.

Goddess, what the Hell?

I slowly made my way downstairs and the scene I was met with almost immediately brought me to my knees. The breath in my lungs was knocked out of me at once and I gasped, feeling as though I was about to pass out from shock.

Why?

Because Leilani was indeed right in front of me!

She was indeed here, sitting on the red couch which Caelum had impulsively gotten from Temu one night when he was drunk, with a cookie tray resting on her thighs. Her striking purple eyes were glued to the TV which was showing a rom-com, but as soon as she sensed my presence, she turned to me, smiled slightly and muttered;

"Alpha Kael."

’Alpha Kael’ like the only relationship we shared was an Alpha- subject relationship.

’Alpha Kael’ like she hadn’t just singlehandedly lit my soul ablaze by simply just existing.

My eyes raked her body in disbelief and when I realized that the gray large top she wore like a dress was actually Caelum’s, my eyebrow shot into my hairline and suspicion crawled into my heart as I whispered softly; "Are you real?"

And at the sound of my voice, she set the cookie tray onto the table and rose slowly, her eyes never leaving mine even for a moment as she stumbled closer in slow calculated steps.

She didn’t need to touch me. In fact, she didn’t touch me for me to feel the warmth emanating from her skin. I didn’t even need to poke her to know that this was indeed her.

I mean, I could feel it.

I could feel the way my wolf was jumping around in excitement. I could sense the slight buzz existing somewhere underneath my skin, vibrating through my veins, merely at the sight of her.

My eyes widened in surprise and I took a subconscious step back, sighing in relief as I hissed; "You’re alive. You’re safe. You seem good."

"That I am," she drawled in that tone that always manages to steal my breath away. "I was kidnapped."

And this was the part where I should’ve asked ’by who?’ This was the part where I should’ve tried to ask her some questions regarding the fire and her disappearance shortly afterwards; But for some reason, I couldn’t bring my mouth to form the right words. I couldn’t bring my brain to function properly and hell, even breathing around her felt like a very tough sport.

Again, my eyes raked her body, a little more slowly this time, and unlike a few seconds ago when I’d just first seen her in Caleum’s cloth, I became slightly jealous.

Not slightly jealous but really jealous.

I hissed; "Caleum found you?"

"No, she found us." Someone answered from behind me and I didn’t even need to turn around to know that it was him. Him who had been fast enough to find her first. Him who now for some reason was holding a plate of creamy pasta and some grilled chicken dipped in sweet sauce.
