Chapter 44Elena's povRunning under the shelter of my car, I slammed the door closed. Frantically igniting the car's engine, I drove off to a deserted street. As minutes ticks down the clock, my tears kept streaming down my cheeks and my eyes now being too blurry, I stopped the car and scurried out of it. My head hurts, my hearts bleeding, I feel stabbed. I can't even think properly. It's as if am going crazy, the spinning of my thoughts in my head is driving me crazy. The sky thundered and on other occasions I would have ran for shelter, instead I stayed cause I was finding shelter here too.I held my head in between my palms as yet again I felt a bang. A heavy rain began to pour, falling down on me but I care less. Her voice resonated through my memories and I screamed, tightening my palms against my ear.'It was your mate that stabbed you in the back.'I want to erase her mocking voice from my memories but again, I found myself listening. Listening to how I had been truly betrayed
Chapter 45Chase's pov"...And if otherwise you haven't gotten the message, it means Get. The. Fuck. Away. From. Me. Good-bye, Chase."But I didn't, I didn't get the fucking message yet she walked away. Nadia- that was the only word I could catch onto that made my head whirl up in different dimensions. She did the deed, I know Nadia was the one who told her about our plans. Though I was grateful the letter got to her father's hand, I despise how she walked away from me and I couldn't hold her back this time. Even though Nadia was hell-bent on ruining Elena, she'd better know it's going to affect me one way or the other. Mates- that's one term she doesn't seem to understand.Taking my phone out of my pocket to call one of my informant, I heard a bang which made me stop. I was stalking towards the direction Elena had got lost in before I could even think."L-et me go, you're hurting me."Elena was choking amidst her words, her tormentor back there grabbing her throat and sneering his nos
Chapter 46Nadia's povI didn't bother going where I was heading before, I only climbed back into my car after Elena had ran into hers immediately I had thrown the heart-recking bomb at her. I drove back home and harbored into my room, a smile smile plastered on my face. Getting my heels of, I threw it somewhere on the hardwood floor and jumped upon my bed. I know of how enraged Chase would be when he gets to know of what I had; how I had spluttered out our secret plan to her without even a moment of thinking through it. But if I'm the one that's causing him anger evaporation, I should also know how to quench that anger when he comes to face me. I did it in jest of her, but I can't say I regret it one bit because I didn't.If there's one thing I know- it's the fact that Elena deserves nothing of sort from me. In the beginning, I shouldn't have challenged her for Chase. Her being my friend's mate, I should be loving her, cherishing her and wanting her to stay forever with him but it's
Chapter 47Elena's povI drove back home and parking my car at the parking lot, I wasn't surprised when I looked sideways and the guards are anticipating their waits at either sides of my car. Sighing out, I retrieved my car key from the ignition and climbed out of the car, slamming it shut and pressing down on the keys for the lock. It peeped positively and I walked away, the guards on my trail."Princess, the Alpha wants you in his chamber immediately after your arrival."one of them said, opening the door and stepping aside at the doorway. I briskly walked away from them and straight to my father's chamber. I knew I just have to accept my fate; whatever comes after it, I have no other choice. I was raising my hand to knock when his voice interrupted me."Come in."I didn't bother thinking how he knew I was here, I put my hand on the doorknob and pushed my way in, shutting it quietly behind me. The letter was dumped on my face immediately and catching it midway the air, I looked up a
Chapter 48Elena's povI slammed the door to my room shut and turned the keys securely in the lock. Pangs of breath escaped my nostrils as I backed the door, awaiting the next turn of my life. Father gets to know about what have just done, he rebukes me- What next? If there's anything I know, I'd rather take for the hills than get with someone out of the blue in the name of being 'betrothed'.My eyes caught the glimpse of a tray of food on the table. My stomach growled in the pit of my stomach as if on clue. I backed away from the door and grabbing the tray of food from the table, I plopped onto the bed. I uncovered the food and luckily, a fork was chunked inside the chicken casserole. I haven't eaten since yesterday night, and instead of wondering who had placed this here, I took the fork and got a forkful of the casserole."Elena!"The casserole was halfway the way to my mouth when father's angry growl from downstairs reached my ear. Frantically with widened eyes, I hastily began chu
Chapter 49Elena's povI parked my car inside of Chase's building as an unsettling feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Holding the steering wheel, I wanted to reverse out of the parking lot immediately but I guess since I was already here, I might as well drop it and go on. Since naturally the last time we met was just yesterday, and everything was clearly fine between us before I left. Moreover, meeting him would be more better than staying around Maddox-freaking-lustful-eyes for the whole of today, because it doesn't seems like he would be leaving anything soon.Before I can think against it again, I was already out of my car and walking to the front door. I was surprised when it was only a few guards standing around, this isn't his pack so all his workers here are minimal. I raised my hand to knock on the door, acknowledging a smile at the guards standing sideways and they bowed their heads in return. A thick cold familiar voice resonated through the air, and draws away my at

Chapter 51Chase's povI knocked on the door and await a response from my father. He's been staying here with me since when he came to pay me a visit. I heard shuffling of foots and shifted back just as the door opened, and my father looked up at me as he tried smoothing his hair out. He smiled at me and instead of returning the gesture, I briefly bowed."Good morning, father."Raising my head up, he patted my back as he shut the door and moved to stand beside me. I pointed towards the staircases and his eyes followed my signal."Breakfast is ready."I muttered and instead of the usual reply of 'OK' he nervously rubbed the nape of his head, while avoiding an eye contact with me. I arched my brow in confusion, leaning my back against the doorway to give me a full arc of his face."Sorry, Chase. But, I have to go."Still not sparing a look at me, he turned to the door and pushing his way in and grabbing a coat from inside, he walked back out and shutting the door, he patted my shoulder twi
