Becoming The Alpha's Lover のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

MIA POVArabella.Arabella.Arabella.She was truly the one. Oh, the thought of her name alone gave me chills. I stepped back from the figure in front of me, the figure that suddenly transformed into the one person I always thought was dead.“Arabella,” I said tasting the words in my mouth after such a long time.She smiled as she straightened; looking at me and folding her arms like she’d won a trophy. How did I not see it? All those times that she acted out of character and behaved like she had a motive, I should have looked into it then. Was I that blind? Had I overlooked her so easily as an omega that I didn’t believe she’d do such a thing to me?Even right now as she stood in front of me, she didn’t look like Arabella to me. The hospital scrubs and hat gave her a different look, and she had even changed her hair color. Oh, I should have known. I was so pissed that Emma had been the one that Rhys was seeing recently, not knowing it was Arabella who snuck into this pack and disguis

RHY POVI was scared for her. I’m not sure I’d ever been scared for anyone other than Arabella. I called her number over and over and when she did not pick up, I did the only reasonable thing to do—drive to her hospital.What about Mia? My wolf asked.I shut down the question immediately. I didn’t want to think about Mia or Craig or all the lies they’d been telling me for Years. Years! Thinking about it alone left me appalled. What else was she capable of? What else would she do if I didn’t pay attention? What else has she been doing?Crucify her.“Calm down,” I said to my wolf. “We don’t need to jump on the wagon yet. I’m sure there are other sides of Mia that I’m yet to see. We’ll expose all these sides one by one.”You’re scared of her.“Yes, dammit, I’m scared,” I grunted. “I’m scared of what she might do Arabella and her kids now that she’s found out her real identity. Mia is a nut job.”And yet you married her. “She’s our mate.”There was silence from my mate. He was always sil

RHYS POVThe ride home was chaotic, and so were the voices in my head. Every single time I leave Arabella, I come back with another secret. First was the whole paternity sham with my son, second was the real killer of my father, and third… the third was now Mia binding me under a spell.I glanced sideways at her as I drove, her words fading into the background. While she screamed into the air and said all sorts of profanities, I looked at her face and wondered I she was capable of doing just that—robbing me of my life.Yes, my wolf said to me. Yes, and she’s capable of so much more. No wonder we never truly loved her. I tried to think back to the events that led to my marriage to Mia. It was shaky and almost distant, almost like the sky had been foggy the whole time. Does this mean that she really took my life from me? Who was my mate then? I’d been so sure it was Arabella then, only to end up calling out Mia. While I was disappointed back then, I thought it was the work of the godde

MIA POVFinally, my day of reckoning was here! Just when I was beginning to lose hope, Jack showed up just like he always did. He was like the sunlight in a dark room, always at the end of the corner waiting for you to crawl out. I pressed the phone to my ear and jumped down from the bed in excitement.“What did you just say, Jack? Do you know where the witch is? How did you know that?”“I and Arabella kidnapped her and took her somewhere safe,” he said dryly.I licked my lips as I walked absentmindedly to my bathroom. I’d always known that Jack was involved in this mess, even though he kept giving off the energy of not caring enough to actively join in. Now that he was actively joining forces with me, nothing could have made me happier.“Where did you take her to? Does Arabella know you’re calling me?” I shook my head at the dumb question. “Of course,e she doesn’t. You wouldn’t be telling me about the witch if you didn’t truly need my help.”“This is a partnership,” Jack said. “Arabe

RHYS POVJack stayed in my house for a week. It was one whole week of torture. Of course I barely saw him as he was in the other compartment of the building, but I couldn’t help not spying on him or listening to him call Arabella and lie about how the pack is great and how everyone is just so welcoming of him.What was he running from, anyways? He should just go home so I won’t have to see his sparkly face when he went out every morning to enjoy the morning sun on his face. This was honestly my fault, really. I was trying to be heroic and score some points to myself, not knowing that it would come back to bite me at my foot.Also, I missed Arabella. I missed her so much I barely managed to sleep. Seeing Jack stay up on the phone with her and laugh made me green with envy. I was practically stopping myself from marching into her house and announcing that Jack was such a liar.My phone tinged with a notification. I checked it and saw that it was a text from Arabella“You have an appoint
