Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Call me over...

Jarek.

It took me approximately three hours to get all I needed done, and by the time all that was over and I was rounding up with my lawyer, I already felt weak. Too weak.

I already knew that there was no way I could get to see Leilani one more time, especially not like this.

And I knew, goddess I knew that she wouldn’t forgive me so easily for what I am about to do.

My chest felt heavy as I glanced up at my lawyer through blurry eyes. I lifted my hands slowly, shocked when he caught them and shoved his face into them.

I was trembling from all the pain but I felt his own trembling even more. And goddess, he was doing everything possible not to burst out crying.

"Alpha," when he said those words, they came off as a whisper. Hell, he didn’t even sound like the sturdy, arrogant prick I have grown to know, respect and work with for so long. His trembling fingers came to wipe the sweat off my forehead and his lips moved even before his voice could slip through.

He muttered; "Is there no other way?"

I sighed but even doing that felt so tedious, my chest ached tremendously. "There is... but I don’t want it."

"Alpha..."

"All I ask of you is that you uphold my wishes and that you guide her just as you guided me."

"Yes, Alpha."

By saying the word ’her’, I meant Leilani. I meant the woman who managed to keep me sane when I would’ve gone feral many months ago. The thought that I would not see her... that I couldn’t bring myself to see her made me feel like a piece of shit. It made my chest burn with emotions so raw, my throat instantly felt clogged.

When I turned to look at the lawyer one more time, my vision had gone blurry. My ears wouldn’t stop ringing and an indescribable pain wouldn’t stop searing its way through every fucking part of my body.

I opened my mouth to speak but because the pain I felt was too great, I could only clamp it back shut and whispered;

"Thank you,"

He nodded.

"Thank you for coming in such short notice... and thank you for what you intend to do afterwards."

My eyes darted to the door as I spoke and for a very brief moment, I imagined Leilani walking into the room, her wild silvery hair flowing around her small smooth face and her legs crisscrossing in that dainty manner that makes her look like she is cat walking even when she isn’t.

The image was false but my eyes rested on it for a moment too long and then I sighed;

"Leilani, I am sorry. I love you. I always will."

Those were the last words I said before my heart failed.

And I mean that.

It literally failed.

It began to beat so fast until I could no longer feel it or hear its extremely fast rhythm in my head.

My skin broke out in cold sweat with goosebumps spreading all over my body.

But I didn’t feel any pain.

I didn’t feel panic or sadness (maybe I was a little sad), especially due to the loud beeping sounds of the machines connected to my body.

However, what I felt the most at the time was peace. Peace from the horrendous pain I had been forced to endure for too long in the hands of my estranged mate. Peace from all the grief, the sadness, the burdens and... the longing I’ve felt for most of my life.

—And there was nothing I found more painful than loving a woman for so long, building her, helping her, and waiting for her to come around, only to lose her one more time to the same people who had almost broken her in the first place. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
