CHAPTER 73
“What’s with your ugly face?” Rael asked obviously mocking me. I rolled my eyes as I walked inside the house.
“Don’t talk to me Rael,” I said not in the mood. He chuckled and followed me until the stairs.
“Alqamar went out to check on Lexis, Gray is with his girl, Fin is still doing the same,” Rael reported. I sighed and stopped walking. I faced him and crossed my arms.
“Do you need something Rael?” I asked. I know this. I know what he’s up to. He shrugged and smiled. I just hit the right word.
“I will have a party tonight. Can…I?” he asked. I rolled my eyes. This dumbass man really messing up this mansion.
“What do you think about this mansion? A freaking bar?” I asked with my sarcastic tone.
“You know I can’t go to bars, Cristine!” he countered.
“Of course! You can’t! The last time you went to a bar you broke hundred of bottles of liquor when you got drunk!” I spat. He smiled awkwardly.
CHAPTER 74I couldn’t move my feet as soon as our eyes met. I feel like I was pinned down the floor. My heart is beating so fast. I know I was searching for him earlier, but I didn’t know that I wasn’t ready to face him like this!Damn! It’s that old man’s fault!“I-I’m…sorry…” I said nervously and tried so hard to get up. I bit my lower lip as I stood up in front of him. I feel so little in front of him. His eyes were staring at me intently. I can feel the sweat on my forehead as I feel so embarrassed in front of him. He seems different now. His looks changed and even how he stares at me.He looks colder. He looks arrogant and I feel like he’s not the nerd I used to know. Everything changed about him. I feel like I doesn’t know him anymore. No…even before…I still don’t know him.My eyes stay on the ground while I am waiting for him to speak.
CHAPTER 75I cannot swallow properly because of the intense feeling he’s making me feel. I know that this day will eventually happen, but I didn’t know that I’d be feel so scared while facing the truth.He’s so close to me. His minty and warm breath is tickling my nose. His eyes are staring deeply into me. I feel so exposed in front of him. I feel like he knows my deepest secret. My deepest desire and lies. This thought made me anxious.Silence filled in the air after his whispers. I couldn’t find words to counter all his words. I am pinned down to the hospital bed, unable to move or even speak a word.“Dr. Madrigal?” My eyes widened when I heard Sir Hendrick voice through the door. I quickly pushed Ronald away and looked at Hendrick who’s confused for what he saw. Damn it! I am so panicking so hard, but Ronald remained calm and collected.“You’re checking up Cristine?”
CHAPTER 76I didn’t know that mate thing is like this. I didn’t know that if we are bonded there’s a risk behind it. I don’t know if I’ll be happy because of the information or not. Of course, I am not! It only means that if I will see Ronald love someone else, I’ll be hurting! Physically and mentally!Those thoughts didn’t leave my mind until I arrived in the hospital. Looking at the hospital, I suddenly felt nervous knowing that I’ll see Ronald once again. His words from last night echoed inside my mind again. Damn! Why am I always chickening out when it comes to him? He’s always unaffected when it comes to me and it’s so unfair!I didn’t know that this is how huge the risk that Alqamar is facing right now. Lexis thought that he died. Lexis has a possibility to love someone else and for Alqamar it’ll be his death.Being mated to a human is risky. It’s far better
CHAPTER 77I can hear the crickets in my ears after I say the revelation I keep for years. He was just staring at me, but he was emotionless. His face was blank. I didn’t know what he’s thinking but in looking at his face I know that his anger towards me will doubled.“You knew all along and yet you didn’t tell me?” his voice darkened. I looked down. I know he’ll get mad at me. I know it’s my fault. I won’t blame him if he’ll hate me forever. I deserve this.“I-I’m…sorry…” I said regretfully.“Do you know how much I suffered in finding that bastard who killed my father?” he said grittily. I breathed painfully. My heart breaks in tiny pieces. If I can just comfort him but I know I can’t do that when I am the reason of his sufferings.“And yet you know? I trusted you, Cristine!” he thundered. I almost jump because of his v
CHAPTER 78I don’t know if my mind can take all the information that I heard from Alqamar. I realized that I don’t really know the lineage I’m from. I didn’t know that our clan is different from other wolves. We have different abilities from them, and we have different power that we are the only one that can do.My thoughts are haywire until morning. I am sipping my coffee while sitting on my seat in the dining when I saw Alqamar. He looks like he’s going somewhere.“Where are you going?” I asked. We know that he can’t go anywhere because he’s hiding. Everyone knows that he died because of what happened five years ago. Carlos also thought that he died and if Carlos would find out that he’s alive he’ll start to bother our lives again.I know that without this necklace protecting me and Ronald, Carlos probably killed us or harm Ronald.“I’ll check Lexis,&rdquo
CHAPTER 79I feel so nervous while seeing Carlos in front of us. I don’t know what’s happening and he’s here or maybe he felt that Ronald took off the necklace that he used it as his chance to come here. He smirked at me. I can see the intense anger that seething through him.“Long time no see my dear sister,” Carlos said while a smirk on his lips is plastered. I tried my best to be calm at this moment because this is a very dangerous situation for us. Carlos is dangerous. He can do anything in just a snap. I have strength and power, but I am no match with him. Only Alqamar can defeat him.“What are you doing here?” I asked grittily. I felt Ronald moved behind me. Damn it! I hope Ronald would just stay behind me!“Why? Am I not welcome here?” I can hear the sarcasm and darkness in his voice.“Carlos…do not cause a commotion here. Let’s talk outside,” I said
CHAPTER 80I saw how that stranger walk near and was about to get the necklace from my neck when someone attacked that man! My eyes widened when I saw that it was Rael and Alqamar!“Cristine!” I heard Ronald’s voice. I swallowed hard but I can’t move properly because of the pain in my stomach. I am fucking soaking with my own blood. Damn it!“Damn it!” I heard Ronald’s curses while he held me and carried me somewhere while I can hear the wolves’ growls. I think Rael and Alqamar are having a fight against Carlos and that stranger.“Breathe in, Cristine. I’ll get this out, okay?” Ronald’s voice is calming my nerves. My eyes are getting blurry as I felt so cold.“I-I’m…o-okay…” I tried so hard to speak because I can hear Ronald’s worried voice. I don’t know if I’d be happy in this situation. I am wounded and physicall
CHAPTER 81I felt the stinging feeling on my stomach, but my eyes still lingered with Ronald as he slowly walks towards me. My tears are like a waterfall streaming down my eyes. I was happy to see my mom in that dream, but I am scared that I almost chose to be with her forever. I almost forgot that I still have Ronald. We may not be in good terms but…I want to protect him.I can’t die just like that. I can’t be dead while Carlos is still alive and freely breathing. I could be at ease if I’d see his cold body lying down the ground.“Why are you crying?” Ronald softly asked. He sat down on the side of the bed and stared at my face. I looked away and wiped off my tears.“Cristine, does your wound hurts?” he asked trying to find out what my tears are for. I shook my head still trying to dry my cheeks, but I stopped when he held my both wrist and put it down on my lap. My eyes fixed on his hands ho
