Chapter 124: 124- Now!

Arabella Toussaint:

For a few seconds, I couldn’t move. His words kept playing in my head.

She comes into my dreams every night.

I slowly lowered myself into the chair he had almost knocked over. Victor was terrified just like me when Theodora tried to attack me in my dreams.

Why was she doing this? And more importantly, what did Victor know that was worth frightening him into silence?

Footsteps approached outside, and a moment later Bradley appeared at the entrance. "Are you alright? What happened?" He looked over his shoulder. "Victor just ran past me."

"I don’t know." I rubbed my forehead, still trying to process everything. "He was fine until I asked him what happened the night Anika died."

Bradley’s expression changed, and for once, he had nothing to say. "He knows something, Bradley," I whispered.

I didn’t want to tell him about Victor’s dreams. And who would believe me that the queen was scaring a grown-up man, the beta of Blackthorn pack, in his dreams.

If she was trying to make him quiet all these years, then clearly she didn’t want any of us finding out what it was.

***

Bradley and I were walking through the palace grounds when I spotted Jasmine jogging across the training field.

Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and sweat glistened along her forehead and the exposed skin of her arms. She slowed down when she noticed us approaching.

"Jasmine!" Bradley waved at her. She looked at him, but instead of returning his smile, her eyes shifted to me. The moment they did, her face went blank.

She gave Bradley a stiff nod and jogged past us without saying a word. Bradley turned his head, watching her go. "What happened to her?"

"She’s pissed at me." I kept my eyes ahead.

"Pissed at you? Why?"

I didn’t answer and continued walking. Thankfully, he didn’t push. But I still wanted to be honest, so I let out a sigh. "She caught us kissing in the kitchen." Bradley’s brows shot up as I glanced at him.

"Us?" he repeated, although the look on his face told me he already knew exactly who I meant.

"Yes." I nodded. "Last night. King Lucien wanted some warm water, so I went to the kitchen to..."

"He needed what? And he asked you to get it?"

"No. There was no omega around, and it was late. They were all sleeping."

Bradley stopped walking. I took another step before realizing he was no longer beside me and turned around.

"All the omegas were sleeping?" he murmured, looking thoroughly confused now.

"I guess." I frowned. "The kitchen was empty." Bradley stared at me for a second before rubbing a hand over his jaw.

"Lucien is... fucking stupid," he muttered, more to himself than to me, and then started walking again.

I hurried after him. "Bradley?" He shook his head, but I caught the smile he was trying to hide.

"What?" I demanded again, but he shook his head.
