Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Pink carnations.

Jarek.

"Alpha, lady Keisha whose treatment was supposed to be discontinued in two months has suddenly started responding to treatment." Orion, my beta, said to me and I froze.

My heart began to beat frantically against my chest, and a strange kind of chill instantly enveloped me as I turned to glare at him. "What did you just say?"

"I said that I got a report from the hospital two days ago... from Lady Agatha to be precise, and it entails that Ms Keisha has suddenly started responding to treatment."

"Did you check with the hospital to see if she was lying? If she only said that so that we wouldn’t pull the plug on her daughter by the end of January?" I asked coldly and he shrugged, his face expressionless as he said;

"Yes, we checked. And according to the doctors. Ms Keisha might be fully recovered next month if she continues to respond to treatment at the rate at which she is presently."

My heart fell.

The fucking wench!

Goddess, I knew I should be happy at the news. That I should be glad that we could finally get to complete our rejection process. But something in me still felt torn. Something within me— maybe a deep dark side— didn’t want her to recover because I knew she wouldn’t simply walk off when she gets better.

She has always been a pest. A leech. One who usually derived so much pleasure from making my life nothing but miserable. One who would try to manipulate me into keeping her by my side even when I didn’t want to.

Five years ago, we’d been inseparable. She was the absolute sweetest thing to ever happen to me at the time, until she began to mutate— and I use the word ’mutate’ because that was exactly what happened to her.

Her father had been a hybrid in secret. A part wolf, part Lycan and it wasn’t until five years ago that the effects began to manifest in her.

She turned afterwards. She said she had depression. That she wanted to try to make peace with herself so she started drinking. Started whoring... and then at some point left me to be with Gerald. She came back eight months ago with a daughter— Gerald’s daughter, but somehow, due to how tricky she’s always been, tried to make up with me.

And I would’ve agreed easily if I hadn’t fallen for Leilani at the time.

I shook my head to rid myself of these thoughts and whispered; "Fine then. Let me know when she’s fully recovered."

Orion sighed. He hated her more than I did. He drawled; "Will you take her back?"

And as soon as I heard that, my chest exploded with rage. I quickly looked up at him with my nostrils flaring and spat. "No. Never."

"I wanted to advise you against it." He answered with a shrug. "She’s not Luna material... plus, you of all people, know how terrible she can be."

With that, he walked away, leaving me to my thoughts. My fists clenched as I watched him leave, but instead of being mad at him, I was mad at myself.

I was mad at myself because of all the times that I let Keisha walk all over me in the past. I was embarrassed and pissed that she would go out there, cheat, and return to me smelling like another man, but I would still take her in.

I hated that I loved her so much, I lost myself because of her.

And I hated that she’s the reason my wolf became feral.

The reason I could no longer shift under the full moon like everyone else does, in fear of not being able to revert to normal.

My cell phone rang and I glanced at the screen just then to see that it was leilani. A sudden warmth spread in my chest. But I didn’t pick up. I couldn’t. I simply let the phone ring for a long time and then switched it off.

I couldn’t talk to her like this. I couldn’t burden her with my problems.

A strange headache split the back of my skull and I groaned, setting everything down to rest my head on my table.

It was one of the symptoms of having a feral wolf. And I knew... I just knew that I couldn’t be with Leilani like this.

—

Leilani.

The rest of the week happened in a blur. CUSP got launched. My parents and Gavin wouldn’t stop calling. Kael and Zevran became a constant thorn in my flesh; And Jarek... for some reason became even more distant.
