Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Prove it II.

Zevran.

"I will kill you!" Those words echoed through the air, pulling me out of the fuzzy daze I had once been lost in.

My hands which were balled into fists loosened and I lifted my head briefly only to realize that my brothers were looking just as stunned and confused as I was— if not more.

Our gazes latched onto and held onto each other’s for a moment before Caelum finally broke the ice. He asked; "What was that?"

I do not know.

Goddess, I hate that I do not know.

"Should we go to her now?" He added when no one would respond to his question, his voice dripping with worry and panic... and something else. Something almost maniacal that even seeped into his eyes.

For the past couple of minutes, I— we— have been standing here, with our backs pressed against the wall while we waited for a sign or anything from Leilani.

And to me, that shout was all the sign I needed. Heck, it was more than enough.

"Do you think that is the signal she talked about? Do you think it’s best to go to her now?" Caelum wouldn’t stop blabbering; And for some reason, the more he talked, the more anxious I became.

"If you come close to me or try to talk dirty to me another time, I will kill you and I will feed your filthy corpse to the dogs! You hear me?!" Her frantic voice echoed once again throughout the quiet parking lot, causing my already pounding heart to hammer even harder against my chest.

At the sound, I pushed away from the wall and didn’t even bother to check in with my brothers first before stumbling away from them and to her in frantic desperate movements.

I do not know when I moved and can not remember how exactly one minute ago, I was standing with my back to the wall, and in the next, I was halting in my tracks, panting like the devil was running right after me, after covering a distance of about three miles in a minute. My breath caught in my throat just as soon as I stopped moving when I came face to face with...

"Leilani?" Caelum gasped from behind me. I guess he’d run just as fast as I had. "What are you doing?"

His question made me blink at the almost impossible scene unfolding in front of me, and even until now— now that enough oxygen has flowed into my brain, giving me more than enough opportunity to process what I was seeing— I still couldn’t believe it.

I still couldn’t believe that the almighty Darius was sprawled on the floor with his hands thrown up while Leilani hovered above him looking very much like a predator, while he was her prey. I still couldn’t believe that she clutched his neck with one of her hands while the other was balled into a fist and pulled backwards in a frozen punch.

—And I still couldn’t believe that he simply laid there, as if waiting to be hit, his eyes holding nothing but guilt and embarrassment... and goddess is that admiration?

Fuck, why the hell is he admiring her so openly?

My eyes trailed between his face to her hand which was still raised mid-punch— a punch which would have landed squarely on his face if we didn’t step in by the time we did.

That thought made me almost regret walking in at the time that I did as I couldn’t help but be mad that she didn’t get the chance to hit him in the way he deserved.

"It looks like she is taking proper care of herself." Kael whistled from behind me, and I didn’t miss the hint of pride that laced his tone as he spoke. Hell, I couldn’t even blame him as I too was also proud of her.
