Chapter 74A New Line Of Thoughts /-Manda-/As soon as Roman left the room with Aaron, I immediately dialed Liana. I wasn't sure how I was going to get her out of this but I hoped I could save her at least. That stupid Beta! Swooping in like he was some knight in shining armour. I didn't ask him to save me! I would have preferred Roman to beat me up and eventually rush out there to realise that she was dead. Liana answered on the second ring. “What happened? We just spoke barely…”“That doesn't matter. Kill her now and get the hell out of there!” I cut her short. “What? Why? The boys were just about to have fun with her, I can't just go out there and ruin their fun by killing her. You said I could do whatever I liked with her…” she complained. Seriously? Did she hear a word of what I just said?“You're not listening to me!” I groaned. “You need to get the hell out of there. Roman is headed your way now and while I can't tell how long it will take him to find you, I do know that y
Chapter 73Anger and Bitterness /-Isla-/The voice that boomed through the room was one I had etched into every corner of my soul. Roman.I couldn't see him clearly through the haze of blood, tears, and bruised vision, but his presence was undeniable. The air itself recoiled in fear. The men who had surrounded me, who had violated and humiliated me, froze mid-motion like terrified statues caught in the storm’s eye.“Roman,” I whispered, my voice so weak it barely came out. But Arla roared inside me, lifting her head for the first time in what felt like forever.And then all hell broke loose.Roman didn’t walk into the room. He stormed in, a black blur of fury and dominance. His eyes were glowing, molten silver, and his aura burned hotter than fire. The man with the knife barely had time to react before Roman gripped his throat and slammed him against the nearest wall so hard his skull cracked audibly.The others scattered like roaches, but Roman moved faster. A blur to my battered v
Chapter 72Blood /-Isla-/I froze.My breath lodged itself in my throat as Allen’s words echoed like a death sentence in the cold, damp room. “I want to watch them ruin her.”Every inch of my body trembled. Arla whimpered inside me, too weak to rise, too broken to fight. I had never felt so alone, so utterly helpless.The men stared at me, some grinning like rabid dogs on the brink of a feast, others silently assessing me like a slab of meat. My skin crawled beneath their gaze, shame and terror already scraping at me like jagged claws.“Don’t touch me,” I whispered, the words trembling as they left my mouth. “Please…”One of them stepped forward. I could smell the stench of whiskey and blood on him. My stomach churned. I tried to push the chair backwards since I couldn't move but I only succeeded in tipping it over and I fell along with it.Laughter erupted in the room and I was jacked up with the chair. “Where do you think you are going, princess?” He asked with a laugh. My stomach
Chapter 71I Want To Watch /-Isla-/He wouldn't tell me, no matter how much I pestered him to. Liana had him hold on because she needed to take an important call. Which I very much suspected was from her accomplice, Manda. Allen remained in position, glaring at me with hate I didn't quite understand.He called me his in-law, but while I went through all my possible relatives in my head, there was just no one that was possible linked to him. Except Roman. My mother for one was an only child so there are no aunties from her side. My father had only one sibling and that was Roman, his step brother. And he was married to Manda now, so where the hell did this Allen guy come from? Liana was Manda's older sister and if Allen's supposed sister was death then there was no chance it would be her.It was so complicated and confusing. But what terrified me the most was this bucket of acid in front of me. I couldn't even imagine the excruciating pain that came with that. Even if it didn't ki
Chapter 70Rage/-Manda-/“Luna.” I turned from her retreating figure to him. His head was still bowed. “I think you are misunderstanding the situation. She meant no harm and I… I would never do anything to betray you…”“Oh really?” I scoffed. “You really think I care what you do? I was only trying to save her from you. You should be ashamed of yourself. You have a mate and yet you are looking towards another woman!” Call me a hypocrite or whatever but who cares? Aaron was my mate! It's not my fault that I happen to have a husband I love very much.He should always wait until I am able to get my husband back from that homewrecker that claims to be his mate.He raised his head slowly and I saw the hurt dancing in his eyes. “I'm sorry.”“What were you even thinking? If you have nothing to do, just stand at my freaking door so I can reach you whenever I want!” I said. “It's just that… last night you…”“Last night I slept with my husband, so what?” I retorted and I could see the raw p
Chapter 69Jealousy /-Manda-/“What's the current situation?” I asked Liana over the phone. After Roman threatened me to take those pills, I knew I couldn't just sit back anymore and wait. I had to do something or that brat was going to kick me out of my home. Aaron has done enough already and if I keep using him with how close he is to the Alpha, Roman might just discover the truth one day. And I couldn't afford that So I had to use Liana but even then, i had to make sure that even if she got caught, the possibility of me being involved was zero to one. She loved me so much that she would never put me in harm's way even if she got caught. That was why I was keeping out of Riley's sight. “We have her in our custody but I don't know how long before Roman finds out. Allen might not care about all this, he is after Roman's brother-in-law, but I don't think Roman holds me in the same regard. It would have been best if we just stuck to my plan,” she said. “You know it wasn't good en
