Chapter 54Sharon’s POV"I can't believe my eyes right now. What in the actual hell is this ?" I spat , my voice sharper than I intended.. "Why are you in his house, you cheap slut ? Dressed like a whore , in another woman's territory.".Mirabel scoffed and snapped back without missing a beat.. "Don’t call me a whore. Takes one to know one. That’s why you weren’t here in the first place , isn’t it?"I had come to Jake’s house to plead to ask him to see things from my perspective, from my pain. But clearly , he had other plans. I wasn’t even on his mind.. Not me. Not the baby..The moment was almost identical to when I caught Killian and Mirabel kissing . Except this.. this was worse.Now , I couldn’t explain what had just happened or what could’ve happened if I hadn’t walked in . Maybe this was why my gut had twisted all day.. Maybe this was what I’d feared all along..Mirabel.. That venomous witch. She was after the only thing that gave me safety , Jake. My mate."You already took Ki
Chapter 53Jake’s POVMirabel stood in front of me , with her red lingerie glowing under the soft , dim light. I swallowed hard , unsure of what to say."Why exactly are you here , Mirabel ?" I finally spoke , still holding the door.."Why shouldn’t I be here , Jake ?" she purred , stepping forward. “The moment you left the Alpha’s chambers , I knew you’d be hurting. And I knew you’d need someone someone who understands. That’s me . I understand you. I’ve been where you are. Sharon did to me what she’s doing to you now .”Her words stung , and I instinctively stepped back , shaking my head. “No. I have Sharon.. ”“Sharon?” Mirabel cut me off, scoffing. She stepped closer again.. “Tell me where is Sharon now ? When you need her the most , where is she? She’s out there lying , betraying you , over and over again. And yet , you still choose her?”“Sharon didn’t betray me ,” I said quickly, but even I wasn’t sure if I believed it anymore.Mirabel’s smile widened.. Her fingers lightly trac
Chapter 52Mirabel's POVI knew that Killian had been suspicious of me from the very beginning. With the new developments, I had to find a way to make things easier for myself. His suspicion must have been what led him to the Blood Moon Pack.. But since the accusations weren't aimed at me , silence was my best weapon for now.Even though I was carrying his child , I could feel Killian slipping away from me. I needed a stronger hold on him . I envied how Jake defended Sharon at all times.. Even now , when he was clearly shaken by the revelations , his instincts still seemed wired to protect her.But this was my chance. Jake was heartbroken , and I would be the one to mend his heart.. I would walk right into it.I made my way to his house.. I wasn’t sure if Sharon was there or not. Still , I had come too far to turn back now.Knock knock..I knocked softly , and after a brief pause , I heard footsteps approaching.. Strong, confident definitely male . My heart leapt.Jake opened the doo
Chapter 51Sharon's POV"Killian , will you shut up and let me think!! This is just too much I can't take it!" Jake snapped as he yanked the piece of paper from Killian’s hand..I stared at both of them , my heart hammering wildly in my chest. What on earth could be in that paper?? So many thoughts raced through my mind , but the loudest of them all screamed I didn’t do anything.. I had no memory of being with Ryker , not in any intimate way. And a picture? Where did that come from??It made no sense.. If anyone should be questioned , it was Killian.. Yet , I stood here , again , the accused..Mirabel sat in silence too silent. Suspiciously silent. Why did it feel like this whole charade had been orchestrated by her?? How could she be so calm , so smug , unless she already knew what was coming??Jake’s reaction broke through my thoughts. As he stared at the contents of the paper , something in him snapped. He tore the paper to shreds , grabbed me by the arm , and yanked me to my feet
Chapter 50Sharon’s POVAs Killian handed the paper over to Alpha Mendez, a chill swept through my body . My breath hitched , and my knees felt like they could give way. Something about the Alpha’s reaction sent alarm bells ringing in my head..“What??” Alpha Mendez muttered , stunned.All eyes turned to him. Even Luna Zahra immediately rose from her seat , rushing to his side. She glanced at the paper and then at me.Her mouth fell open , and the look she gave me.. it was pure malice. Like a predator finally cornering its prey.What had I done to deserve this level of hatred?? Had I not already endured enough? What more did they want from me? To bleed? To break??Alpha Mendez cleared his throat , his voice slicing through the thick silence. "Have you met with someone called Ryker previously?? If so , speak now or remain silent forever.."“My lord.. I..I don’t know,” I stammered, confused and shaken. “I’ve never met anyone by that name before. I mean , not that I can remember. Somethi
Chapter 49Sharon's POV"Why isn't Jake back yet??" I wondered aloud , alone in the house.He said he needed to speak with Alpha Mendez , but it was taking longer than expected."What on earth could be the problem??" I muttered , pacing anxiously like my life depended on it..Suddenly , I heard the faint sound of the door creaking open.. My heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation , I rushed to the living room , my steps light and quick.As I entered , my eyes darted across the room until they landed on him."Jake!" I cried , running into his arms.He pulled me close , embracing me tightly. We stayed like that for a long , quiet moment. Then , he kissed my forehead and led me gently to the couch."How have you been since the trip??" he asked softly."I’ve been holding out. It wasn’t easy , but I’m gaining my strength back ," I said , holding onto his hands.His expression shifted. A shadow crossed his face."Is everything okay??" I asked, peering into his eyes. He was hiding something
