The Alpha Beast's Hundred-Night Bride. Chapter 33: Amber Eyes Don't Lie.
Elara crossed the room in four strides and grabbed the syringe directly from Kael's grip.She stood there holding it, turning it slowly between her fingers, studying it.She lifted her eyes to his face with an expression that was asking a question her mouth hadn't formed yet."Why," Elara said, her voice measured and deliberate, "are you trying to inject this into her?"Kael looked at her for a long moment, the particular look of a man deciding how much truth is useful right now."I was not doing it with bad intentions," Kael said, his voice carrying the practised ease of someone who had explained their way out of worse. "She was yelling, she was completely out of control, and I felt she needed something to keep her calm and help her rest. That was all it was."Elara looked at the syringe again.Then back at him.Then she exhaled, not entirely satisfied but willing, in this moment, to accept the surface of it."This particular sedative is used to keep patients calm," she said, turning

The doctor exhaled heavily before he spoke, the kind of exhale that carries the full weight of several hours of uncertainty.He looked at them both, there was something genuinely warm sitting behind his professional composure."After putting her through a series of intensive medications and close monitoring," the doctor said, folding his hands together, "it is with a very glad heart that I can tell you both, she is getting better. Significantly and steadily better. We expect a full recovery with continued treatment and proper rest."Elara's entire body responded before her mind caught up with the words...her shoulders dropped, her hand flew to her mouth, and her eyes filled immediately with the kind of tears that come not from sadness but from the sudden and overwhelming release of something that had been gripping you far too tightly for far too long.A sound left her that was somewhere between a laugh and a sob, and she pressed her fingers hard against her lips trying to contain it.

Elara hurried toward the door alongside Kael, her steps were quick and filled with desperate urgency.Kael paused at the entrance, pretending to fumble with the lock as if struggling to open it.When Elara turned to adjust her bag, he swiftly pulled a spare key from his pocket.“Hold on,” he said smoothly. “I have a spare right here.” He unlocked the door with practiced ease, and they stepped inside together.The moment they entered, Lucas raised his head in shock from where he had been hastily concealing the gun.His eyes widened dramatically as he stared at Elara and Kael, the color draining from his face.He lingered on Elara for a long time, disbelief etched into every line of his expression. “Elara, what are you doing here?” he managed to ask, his voice strained.She pushed past him without a word, rushing deeper into the apartment and searching frantically.“Jasmine? Jasmine!” Her voice echoed with panic as she moved from room to room, her face a mask of worry and determination.

Kael and Lucas stood completely still, staring at Jasmine, and for a long, suspended moment, nothing happened.Then the blood came fast and dark, spreading through the fabric of her blouse like ink through paper.Jasmine's legs gave out beneath her as she crumpled to the floor, her body folding slowly, like something that had simply run out of the will to stay upright."You shot her," Lucas said, barely above a whisper, his face was completely drained.He moved before the words had fully left his mouth, dropping to his knees beside her, his hands going to her shoulders. "Jasmine! Jasmine!"He said her name twice, his voice climbing slightly with each repetition, his hands pressing against the wound with the desperate, useless logic of someone who knows it is already too late but cannot stop themselves from trying.Her body shuddered once, a long, violent tremor that ran from her shoulders to her feet and then she went still.Completely, finally still.Lucas pressed two fingers to her

Jasmine smiled as she walked toward Kael, her heels pressing into Lucas's floor like she owned every inch of it.There was nothing nervous in her posture, nothing flinching in her eyes.She moved like a woman who had been waiting a very long time for this moment and had finally decided that waiting was done.Kael looked at Lucas. It lasted only a second, but it carried everything.The disbelief, the fury being held back by the thinnest thread of restraint, the silent question of are you seeing this? Lucas stared back, jaw tight, saying nothing.Then Kael turned back to Jasmine, his voice so controlled it was almost frightening. "Jasmine," Kael said. "I'm going to ask you this one last time. What did you hear, and how long have you been listening?"Jasmine tilted her head, the smile never leaving. "Well, I'm going to say it anyway, because what is the point of hiding it now?"She unfolded her arms casually. "I have spent a great deal of time reading things from your room, Kael. I have

Kael stood frozen for a moment, the ring burning against his skin like a brand.Jasmine’s concerned eyes searched his face, but he forced a tight smile, slipping the ring off and sliding it into his pocket before she could notice anything.His heart hammered against his ribs, a chaotic rhythm of dread and confusion.“Hey, babe,” he said, his voice steadier than he felt.He pulled her into a quick hug, inhaling the familiar scent of her perfume to ground himself. “I’m fine, really. Just... car trouble messing with my head, nothing serious.”Jasmine tilted her head, her perfectly arched brows knitting together in doubt. “You don’t look fine, Kael. You were staring at that ring like it was about to bite you. What’s going on?”He chuckled softly, the sound hollow even to his own ears, and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Just tired. Hand me your car keys, will you? I need to run a quick errand. I’ll explain everything later, I promise.”She blinked, dumbfounded, her mouth p
