Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: An eye for an eye.

Leilani.

I wanted to scream at his face, to scratch at his skin until there was no smile left and until he was bleeding all over the place, but I couldn’t even bring myself to move. Besides the ropes holding me down, I felt weak.

Too weak.

I grunted; "You’ll pay for this."

"That has been your mantra ever since you returned from the dead months ago. And I’ve still not paid for shit." He drawled cockily, his eyes glazing with amusement and mischief. "If anything, I’ve been the one winning... and I’ll continue to win over you for as long as you live."

For as long as I lived...

That was not just a threat, it was a claim.

I sighed, swallowed back my retort and closed my eyes, letting the pain wash over me. When I snapped my eyes back open moments later, it wasn’t just Caelum I found by the door but Kael too. He had conflicted emotions in his eyes as they roved over my shaking frame, and then he turned to Caelum, asking;

"Don’t you think that’s enough? She looks pale and blue... and I don’t think Chalice needs that much blood."

When he spoke up, only one word stuck out to me: Chalice.

She was the reason they were doing this to me. The reason they were draining me dry, uncaring if I lived or died.

Of course, who would it be for?

I gritted my teeth in rage. Tears burned at the corners of my eyes but I refused to let them drop. I didn’t falter even as my body shook with exhaustion and pain.

I drawled; "You’re doing this for Chalice?"

"Of course!" Caelum snapped. "Or did you think I woke up one morning and suddenly began craving your blood or something?"

I shuddered.

Goddess, I should be used to things like this by now. I should not be affected by words like this... but I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t control the way it twisted the knife deeper into my chest or the way it made my heart feel like it was being wrung out.

My eyes snagged onto his, and onto the maniacal smile gracing his features. And when he tipped his head back and laughed so loudly, I nearly lost it. Or maybe I did lose it.

"You made Chalice lose our baby. She’s been haemorrhaging for hours because small abnormal tissues have been discovered in her body as a side effect of her miscarriage. And do you know who caused that? You!" He growled, earning himself a chuckle from my end.

My chuckle soon grew into full blown laughter, because Jesus, I couldn’t believe that they could be Alphas and still be so stupid. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

I snorted; "Right!"

"Yeah, right!" He sassed back.

"And in return, we’ve decided that you should give back all the blood she’s lost... as that way you can make up for what you did to her." Kael said slowly, sounding almost like he was carefully picking his words, his voice shaking with something that felt like despair.

But it didn’t matter now. Nothing did. Not even the pitiful expression on his face.

Zevran was nowhere to be found—not that it mattered.

I bit down on my tongue so hard that the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. My head was whoozy, my eyes fluttering shut, as if unable to keep itself open for a few more minutes.

My heart ached so badly, I wanted to rip it out. And do you know what was worse than having to watch them drain me for Chalice? The same Chalice who was never pregnant to begin with?

The fact they were not even remorseful. There was not a sign of remorse on their faces as they sized me up, Caelum clucking his tongue while he muttered;

Punishment....

To seal the deal...

Blah blah blah!

However, Caelum’s insensitive words wouldn’t stop ringing in my head. His; "I wanted something from you and I took it. I don’t fucking care how you feel about it as long as I want it. That’s you ’donating’ it to me." wouldn’t stop echoing at the back of my skull over and over again.
