Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Her expression fell, and she fidgeted with her hands.

“Sorry, Raven, but in this instance, I have to agree with Hades,” Jackson said with a grimace, “I for one happen to think she doesn’t deserve your mercy. To be honest, if she became rogue, she would be hunted down for her white wolf by other alphas or by rogues who are drawn to her. This might be more merciful in the long run.”

“I guess that’s the decision I have to make.”

She didn’t sound thrilled about it. Maybe because she had known Marissa her entire life. I put a comforting hard on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to kill her with your own hands,” I said gently.

It was the least I could do for her. Make sure she doesn’t have to live with the guilt. I could kill without a second thought, but Raven was different. She was softer, kinder, and more compassionate. She didn’t just kill without a reason.

“Man, you are like a different person,” Aeress exclaimed, “Raven, you’re a miracle worker. Or maybe he’s possessed,” she muttered, “and will go back to his normal self at midnight.”

Jackson laughed and Raven giggled. The atmosphere lightened. I couldn’t help but grin, unaccustomed to the feeling. It was almost as though a weight had lifted off my shoulders the instant I decided that Raven was the one for me. Like all my worries had simply vanished away and left a much happier man in his wake. I had Raven to thank for that.

“Alpha!” a shout stopped all of us, my head swivelling as a warrior came running, his expression filled with panic.

“What is it?” I snarled.

He better have a damn good reason for interrupting us.

“Marissa’s gone, sir. She’s escaped.”

He looked at me, trembling. He knew exactly what my reaction would be.
