Jealousy Alpha's Regret novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

“Even my own daughter must make sacrifices for the pack,” I thought

grimly, hauling her up the stairs despite her resistance.

Kim’s sobbing grew louder, but I knew the drug would soon override

her reluctance. “The wolf’s bane will make her more compliant,” I

assured myself. “By morning, this will be done, and Phillips will be

obligated to us.”

When we reached the door to the guest bedroom, I paused, listening.

There should have been sounds of Noah moving around, affected by

the drug. But there was silence. A flicker of unease ran through me.

“Something’s not right,” I whispered to Thomas, who had followed us

-up.

I pushed Kim against the wall beside the door, making sure she

couldn’t run, then turned the handle and pushed the door open.

The scene inside stopped my heart for a moment. Noah Phillips was

sitting upright on the bed, fully clothed and completely alert. His

eyes locked onto mine with a clarity that should have been impossible given the dose of wolf’s bane he’d consumed.

“How?” The word escaped my lips before I could stop it.

Noah stood slowly, his movements steady and deliberate. The fury in

his eyes made me take a step back. “Antidote,” he said simply. “Iris figured out your plan and gave me something to counter the effects.”

My mind raced. Antidote? How could she have known? And where

would she get-

“Catherine Stone,” Noah’s voice cut through my thoughts, cold and

formal. “As of this moment, any relationship between Phillips and

Stone is terminated. I’ll be informing the Council of your actions

tonight.”

“Noah, please,” I stammered, desperately trying to regain control of

the situation. “You misunderstand. We were just-”

“Trying to drug me and your daughter into a forced mating?” he

finished for me. “Then when that failed, you were planning to use

your own drugged daughter instead?” His eyes flicked to Kim, who

was slumped against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

“It’s disgusting,” he spat, grabbing his jacket from the chair. “To think

I once respected your pack.”

As he pushed past us toward the stairs, my world seemed to collapse

around me. “Noah, wait! The Stone pack needs-”

“The Stone pack,” he cut me off with a glare that froze the words in

my throat, “is no longer any concern of mine or my pack. Goodbye,

Catherine.”

I stood there, unable to move as his footsteps receded down the stairs

and the front door slammed shut. The silence that followed was

deafening.

“What have you done?” Thomas hissed beside me, his face contorted

with rage. “What the hell were you thinking? First Grey, now Phillips

-we’ve lost two major allies in one night!”

“Me?” I whirled on him, desperation making my voice shrill. “This was

your brilliant idea! ‘Let’s invite Noah over,‘ you said. ‘Iris will respond

to the pressure,‘ you said. Well, look where that got us!”

Thomas stepped closer, his finger jabbing toward my chest. “Don’t

you dare put this on me! I suggested approaching Noah normally, not

drugging him like some kind of animal!”

“Like you had any better ideas!” I screamed back. “What have you

contributed except criticism? At least I’m trying to save what’s left of

our pack’s status!”
