เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 122.Vera’s Pov.I had agreed to his request. Anyone in my shoes would have. I mean, I have always wanted Pearl out of my way, so why wouldn’t I?And to be frank? I didn’t care about the outcome of this. I just wanted her out of my way.Putting up with her self-righteous personality just pushed me to the edge, and I can’t even emphasize how much I just wanted her out of my sight.I knew she was going to come find me, and now she was at my place. She had come bearing gifts, pleading and begging like a lost puppy.Definitely. She was a lost puppy. No family, no home… just a man who would burn the world for her, and that angered me even more. Because for me, it’s not the case. Everything between Jasper and I were lies.In reality, I am the one begging and burning bridges for him. I love him. I love him so damn much. The things he does to me behind closed doors, the way he fucked me, was breathless, and I can’t trade it for anything regardless. I can’t stay away from him, and the
Chapter 121.Pearl’s Pov.Alpha Lucien was here. I could feel it.I can’t tell how much I slept, but I slept long enough to avoid his presence and long enough to know that he had been in my room all night.Trust me, even in my deepest slumber I still felt his presence… the way he dragged me up into his arms, pulled me into his body, and stroked my hair all through the night. I was just too tired and perhaps too mad at him to pull away.It’s morning again, and I still woke up with that tiny ache in my heart. Now I can barely tell if it was from the anger he had caused me, or if it was from knowing that I am slowly drifting away from two of my friends.I am mad at Imani. But a tiny part of me says that all of this could really be an accusation.I don’t know what to believe, I don’t know how to believe it, but I know that I also don’t want to lose Vera. Last night she had left my place in pain, and for some reason, the pain in her eyes didn’t seem to be because I told her late… perhaps s
Chapter 120.Alpha Lucien’s POV.The witch house was quiet.Too quiet.The glass walls reflected the soft blue glow of the runes carved into the floor, lines of power glowing beneath my feet like veins beneath skin. The world outside was modern… steel, glass, technology… but in here, magic still breathed. Old magic. Ancient. Alive.I sat on the couch, my back straight, my hands resting calmly on my knees. Stillness was something I had mastered long ago. Power did not need movement to be felt. It only needed presence.Melina stood a few steps away from me. The witch. Her silver hair was tied back, her eyes fixed on the floating symbols before her. They pulsed slowly, like a weak heartbeat.Something was wrong.“The power of the curse has reduced,” she finally said, but I did not move. I knew it. I had felt it. Her voice did not tremble, but her magic did. I could feel it in the air… thin, stretched, and uncertain.“The line is thinner now,” she continued. “Much thinner than it has eve
Chapter 119.Logan’s POV.“You bastard!” I cursed, smashing the glass of wine in my hand against the wall, but Andrew dodged it before it could even get to him.“How dare you!” I cursed, staring at him in rage!“I am sorry, Rogue King. I am incompetent and should be punished.”“Yes! You are incompetent and should really be punished! You bastard should be punished! The only opportunity you had to get that girl was to monitor her, and now you let her slip away.”“Forgive me,” he said again, bowing his head.My blood boiled with rage and I hurriedly reached into the drawer, pulled out a stick of cigarettes, lit it up, then began to take harsh drags from it.Every drag was meant to quench the anger that was boiling through me, but somehow, the only thing it did was intensify the rage beneath my skin.Definitely, that girl was something I could use to my benefit. Perhaps kill her… or use her.With a deep drag, I turned to Andrew.“Who ruled the pack when Lucien was away?”Andrew stood for
Chapter 118.Pearl’s Pov.“Vera.” I called, feeling guilty already, but she didn’t say a word. She simply just walked into my room. I could tell she was pissed, but Vera wasn’t one to let her anger out. She just walked through it quietly.I pressed my lips into a thin line, slamming the door gently while staring at her from behind.“Hey…” I called, but she just sat on the edge of my bed, staring at me with that big sister look expression.“Where have you been?”She asked, and I pressed my lips harder together.Alpha Lucien had asked me not to inform anyone about us, and of course I wanted to tell her, but I couldn’t.Not that I doubted her. Vera is to me a sister no one can ever imagine. I trust her and trust that she is a nice person who would never do anything to harm me. But after everything that happened the last time, I have really been trying to listen to Alpha Lucien and do whatever he wills.Speaking of Alpha Lucien… I was still fucking pissed at him and how he had handled us.
Chapter 117.Alpha Lucien’s Pov.“We should get going,” I said, grabbing Pearl’s wrist.Her brows pulled together. “Going?”“Yes…”The smile on her face dropped and she stared up at me. “No… We can’t go. We are… we are not even done having fun.”“We could always have fun, princess. But now that’s enough fun.”Her eyes moved around mine… but sha, she didn’t say a word. But I knew… I knew deep down that she was not happy. We got to the car, and I made sure she entered first before moving to the driver’s seat, where I hurriedly zoomed off.The drive back home was long, not because of the kilometers, just because the silence between us was thick and heavy. I wanted to speak to her, but how do I explain that someone was watching us without creeping the hell out of her? I mean, one minute we were smiling in excitement and the next minute we were in the car, driving back home in anger.But now I get it… I have never been stalked before. I mean… no one would actually dare to stalk the Alpha K
