Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403: An agreement.

Leilani.

My eyes fluttered open tiredly as I awoke from my much needed but also very un-peaceful sleep if I must say.

After the whole thing with Caelum, I had gone to bed, hoping to quickly fall back asleep; But do you know what happened instead?

I tossed and turned uncomfortably.

I went from one end of my space on the bed to the other, again and again over and over in such a way that I did not make any noise until I finally slept off about two hours later.

And that is when the dreams started. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The wet dreams. The erotic ’nightmares’ that Caelum had cursed me with.

They plagued my sleeping and waking moments and continuously replayed itself behind my closed eyes until I had no other choice but to remain awake.

I tiredly rolled out of bed and went into the adjoining bathroom to clean my face and brush my teeth, and when I finally stepped out several minutes later, Maya was there, sitting on the bed and waiting for me.

Her eyes were filled with a kind of curiosity that I found confusing, and her eyebrows furrowed as she watched me get out of the bathroom.

"You look like shit," she muttered after a while and I shook my head.

"I feel like shit," I snapped back, "in fact, I am shit."

Hearing my words, she sat up quickly, a flicker of worry crossing her features as she asked; "Is this about the triplets again?"

And while it was obviously about them and me, and the weird feelings I have begun to develop for them, I shook my head quickly. "No. This is about Keisha and a guy called Gerald."

"Gerald? Who the fuck is Gerald?"

"Did you know that some time ago, Jarek and Keisha were mates?" I asked slowly, wanting— no needing— to start from the baseline of the story I knew of, and when she nodded expectantly, I smiled.

"I know. I witnessed that phase as well."

Oh, true! Sometimes I tend to forget that she belongs in his pack! That she is one of his subjects!

"Good," I sighed. "So you also know that she left him for someone else, right?"

"Yes, a Lycan whom she had fallen in love with shortly after she found out that she was a little bit of both sides."

She is up to date. I like that.

I crossed my arms over my chest as I leaned against the wall behind me, and in a voice so small, I was sure that she would strain to hear me, I continued; "Yeah, Gerald. The guy who she ran off with was Gerald." I drawled, not missing the way her eyes widened in surprise, and in the same breath, I added; "...the said Gerald was here last night."

"Oh."

"And he came to inform me about Keisha’s plans for me. He also urged me to leave NYC. But there’s a problem."

"A problem?" She asked confusedly,

"He acted strangely shortly before he left, when I touched him, and mentioned something along the lines of how the Moonveil draught no longer has any effects on me."

"But I thought—"

"I know what you think," I said, interrupting her softly. "You’re about to tell me about how I’ve lost touch with my beast ever since, and I told him exactly that. But he was adamant."

She frowned. "Well, that’s new."

"No."

"Please," I was pushy. In fact, pushy was such a small word to describe just how much I pressed on, "I won’t be a bother. Hell, you won’t even know that I am there. Let me come with you!"

"No." She answered again,

Oh, scratch that! It wasn’t her! It was someone else standing by the door.

"Zevran," I drawled dryly, "what is it?"

"You cannot leave." He answered with a smile— one that didn’t quite reach his eyes, "I know you want to leave because it has become uncomfortable for you, but I cannot allow it, especially now that Darius knows you’re alive... and especially since you’ve agreed to help us out with the other Valemont."

"Because I agreed to do it?" I snarled and he rolled his eyes.

"No. It is mostly because of Darius, you uptight little woman."

And with that, he strolled away, leaving me to curse at him as he went.

And guess what?

He heard me— very clearly. And he only laughed.

However, it wasn’t until he was gone that his words echoed again and again in my head, and my heart instantly dropped to my rectum when I remembered his words:

’Darius knows,’

Oh, hell no!
