The Heart Of The Beast The Alpha's Pawn (Sonia and Ramon) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

RAMON’S POV

Liam walked up to me, and handed me the bottle of whiskey.

I didn’t want to

to drink before, Init I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out, and grabbing the drink.

1 brought the top to my lips, took a deep breath, before I drank from it.

I burned my chest so good, and I closed my eyes just to relish in its effect.

I took another swig, and another. At this rate, the bottle was going to be emply soon

My thoughts were mumb. So many things to think about, yet I lacked the real to do so.

When Liam sat beside me, I didn’t feel it until he spoke,

“Ramon, what are we doing to do?” He asked.

A simple question. One that shouldn’t be hard to answer.

Solutions right! No matter how difficult a situation was, I was damn good with solutions.

But right now. I just couldn’t think. I couldn’t- I took from the bottle again, silencing the voices in my head.

“You know I won’t do it, right? This is basically mum playing the moon goddess. If she hasn’t provided my mate, there’s no way in hell I’m taking one just for the heck of it,” he said.

I could see what he was trying to do. Trying to reassure me, and alleviate my worries.

I appreciated the strategy, but it was like I mentioned before, I was too numb to think of a response.

“Also, I don’t believe Sonia accepted this crap. She adores you. I think this is all a ploy by Ferins, but to what end?”

I heard him clearly. I knew he was expecting a response. A response I wasn’t going to give, because I didn’t have one.

However, when he stretched out his hand, that I could understand.

I passed him the bottle, and he drank from it too.

Sharing a drink. Something that was supposed to be normal in friendships had just been tainted in my mind.

It felt very much like passing Sonia to him. The same way it was playing out in reality.

“Coming from the guy who offered her to his beta?” That damn mocking voice in my head, spoke the loudest.

I had a counter for that. It was then. When I thought she was a bratty bitch who needed a good humbling

Back when I swore to do everything I could to bring down Ferins, including using his daughter.

my plans had backfired.

How could I then tell anyone how all my plans had backfired.

It had gone from using my head to play the game, to answering to my heart.

Hey, but at least, I was thinking again

“Hey Rainon, I’m really sorry about this. I hope you know I didn’t have a hand in this? I’ve also been blindsided”

“I know,” I was finally able to say.

I could feel the relief wash through him. Even though I had once questioned our friendship, Liam had never.

No matter what, he never acted differently towards me

He didn’t play about me either. I was priority to him. 1/3

It should be the same for me, but I was a different kind of person.

1 thought of the worst, and acted accordingly. That was why I needed time to think about this entire situation

ain in his eyes.

“Wait, what?” He faced me, and as I lifted my head up, I could see the pain.

“You have to go house and see what this is about. Who knows what you might discover! I think I need to deal with this alone. You’re always somehow around in my toughest times. Whilst Tappreciate that, we’re both alpha’s with heavy responsibilities. Solve yours, and I’ll solve mine”

“No way!” He protested heavily. “That just sounds like you’re trying to kick me to the side like you always do. It doesn’t make sense, Ramon. We’re both involved in this bullshit. We need to work together

shook my head vehemently. “Things are just going to get too complicated at this rate. Let’s just think about this individually. Your pack needs you Liam Go. I said.

“I’m not going anywhere, Ramon. Not until I get to the root of this madness”

He rose to his feet, and didn’t waste time in walking out of the room.

I sighed the door closed behind him. My thoughts were back to bring clouded, and painful

Drowning myself in the alcohol could probably work for the night. But what of when morning came?

I’d have a headache the size of ten packs, without a solution anywhere in sight.

That just seemed like stabbing myself with my own claws.

Instead. I chose to lay on my back, and look up at the ceiling.
