chapter 54

SELIORA POV

I was sure either Kaelion or Jackson was behind this.

“I haven’t been here to see him since we arrived back here yesterday,” Kaelion answered with a straight face.

“You have to be lying! Why are you doing this?” I barked, facing Zack again before rushing out of the pack cell.

There was no way I was going to wait for one more second and listen to more lies about my father.

I could hear Kaelion calling out to me as I walked away but I was too upset. I had been looking forward to this day, for the chance to finally clear my father’s name only to be lied to instead.

“You have to finally face the truth, Seliora. It's not going to change just because you refuse to believe it!” Kaelion stated, further fueling my anger.

“It's all a lie, he is clearly lying and so are you!”I yelled, looking back at him. “You would do anything to make this lie about my father true. He clearly denied knowing my father yesterday. What changed?”

“He was not telling the truth, Seliora,” He answered. “Not only did Alexa see your father, but I got a private investigator right after the attack. He confirmed she was right.”

“No, Kaelion, I do not want to listen to any more of your lies,” I said, running into the house.

I made my way into the room and instantly looked at the door.

All I wanted to do in this moment was to talk to my father. I needed to hear him to back me up on this.

It could not be true.

My father has no connection with Kaelion’s pack whatsoever, he had nothing to gain by ending his pack.

Taking a deep breath, I opened up the door again and hurried out of the room. I then made my way to Kaelion’s office hoping he was going to be there.

I had the perfect way to end this forever.

No more lies.

“Kaelion,” I called out to him in a loud tone, banging on the door.

“Come in, Seliora,” He replied.

I instantly walked in and walked over to his table where he was seated.

“I need you to give me a cell phone, I need to call my father right now!” I demanded. “He is the only one who could tell me what really happened.”

“How are you so sure he would tell you the truth, Seliora?” He asked.

“Because he is my father and he is innocent,” I responded.

“Okay then but you take the call here and put it on speaker,” Kaelion said, to my surprise placing his phone on the table.

I couldn't believe he agreed so easily.

“Fine!” I stated, dialling my father's number.

Instead of going through all the trouble to get Zack from the blood moon pack, I should have done this.

“Hello,” The voice which I immediately recognised to be my father’s said.

“Hello father, it's Seliora,” I muttered, smiling.

I had missed his voice and just talking to him so much.

“Seliora, is that really you? I promise to get you out of there. I just need some more time,” Father said while I fought my tears. “I am much stronger now.”

“Put it in the speaker, Seliora!” Kaelion stated.

“Father, I need to ask you something and I need you to tell me the truth,” I said before putting it on speaker and dropping it on the table where Kaelion could hear it.

“Did you really ravage the Obsidian fang pack and kill the mate of their Alpha?” I asked in a stern tone, holding my breath.

“What nonsense is this, Seliora? Who told you all of these? You don't possibly believe this is true right?” Father answered.

“I was right,” I muttered, sighing in relief and glaring at Kaelion who had a straight face on. “I knew this was all a lie, Father.”

I should have killed Kaelion when I had the chance to. All this has been a lie and baseless accusations.

I had been right all along.

I tried to pick up the phone but Kaelion stopped me by gripping my hands.

“Wait,” He stated, opening his drawer.

Before I could even ask what he was doing, he brought out a knife and pulled me to himself.

He then placed the knife to my neck while my heart raced.

“I am sorry but I have to do this, Seliora. It's the only way your father will tell us what the real truth is,” He whispered to my ears moving closer to the phone.

“Are you there, Seliora?” Father asked as I struggled to talk due to the knife being too close to my neck.

“Alpha Thane, I think it's time you tell your daughter the truth or I'll kill her right here and right now like I did to your pack,” Kaelion stated, while I struggled to let go of his grip on my but he was too strong.

“You are so delusional that you can not even see the truth which is right in front of you,” I muttered. “Do not worry about me Father, I will die peacefully knowing I believed you until my last breath.”

“Tell her now, Alpha Thane!” Kaelion growled.

“Please do not hurt her, Kaelion. I beg of you,” Father pleaded.

“Then tell her and end all this once and for all. Can you not see how blindly she trusts you? You have lied to her for way too long,” Kaelion stated.

“Fine!” Father muttered. “I am sorry, Seliora. Kaelion had been right about me all along.”

“Don't say this because you are scared he will kill me,” I muttered as Kaelion let go of me.

“No, Seliora. He is right, it is time you know the real truth about what happened. I really did do it,” Father said. “I ravaged his pack and killed his mate.”

I froze in shock as he continued to speak. All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat thumping and the wind blowing.

Everything I once believed in and would have gladly died for was all a lie.
