Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

. "What are you trying to say? That we should never have run three years ago?" Hycinth asked with her lower lip trembling."Maybe...as much as I hate to admit it." I ran my hands through my hair. The more I thought about it, the more I questioned our decision because the facts all pointed to one conclusion. "What happened after he finally caught you? He did everything in his power to make you love him."Hycinth shook her head. "It's not that easy. Lucky, you didn't see his face that day. He wasn't happy to find out I was his mate. You heard him yourself. He thought of me as his whore when he first found out. That's not someone who intends to be gentle and loving.""True..." I acknowledged, "but happy or not, the bond is powerful. I haven't experienced it personally...and now I never will,"I swallowed to contain the lump in my throat before continuing, "but, I know it to be true. Think of it this way. How many names did you call him in those early days as well? We both did. Leander di

All of the animosity trained from her face, replaced by confusion. "I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you get the answers you seek. But it is a very dangerous time right now. You are standing in the crosshairs of a volatile conflict. We have not been able to confirm where everyone's loyalties stand. For your own sake and that of your sister, it would be better for you to return to her right now. Stay away because the blood of many wolves is going to be shed.""I can't leave, not yet. Tell me what happened. Have you tried negotiations? I didn't come here for that, but maybe I can help." Truthfully, the last thing I wanted to involve myself with was a war. Hycinth needed me now more than ever.Sydney replied flatly, "We're at war because Hycinth left him."And then I understood...My heart sank.Swallowing thickly, I tried to contain my dread. "What happened to Leander?" Somehow, I just knew I wasn't going to like the answer.For the first time, all of her defenses were gone. Her bott

At her words. memories of Hycinth floated through my mind...her barely able to get out of bed and the haunted look in her dead eyes. I shook my head sadly. "Hycinth may have had the willpower to walk away, but what good is it when she's left miserable without him?"Sydney studied my expression. "Hycinth really wants to come back?"Bringing my other knee up, I rested both elbows on them and nodded. "She'd been making strides...grieving and facing the past. I hoped it would only be a matter of time before she was strong enough to make the decision on her own, and I think she was getting there slowly but surely. But she's devastated after everything the Oracle told us yesterday. Alpha Grant hurt so many wolves in his effort to manipulate her future. Right now, she's internalizing guilt for all of them and can't see how anyone would want her when she was the catalyst for all of the pain."Sydney contemplated my words. "The pack is hurting now without their Luna and the effect her absence

FeralLuckyA storm was coming......and when he arrived, he would burn the world down to get to Hycinth.There would be nothing and no one who could stop the devastation he left in his wake.I just hoped he got there before Dagger could carry out whatever diabolical plan he had for her. I'd seen the craziness in that male's eyes. He wasn't right in the head even before Leander maimed him.I snapped out of my dark thoughts. I still had work to do. There had to be a way to trace the license plate. I worked to keep my fingers from trembling as I dialed Tommy's number."What's up, Whiskey?" Tommy answered on the first ring, his voice instantly wary. I didn't normally call him, and certainly, not late at night.My throat was bone dry as I gritted out, "I need your help.""Fuck, "he swore. "What's going on? Is it Abby? I mean, Hycinth. Is she okay?"I worked to keep my emotion at bay. "No, Tommy, she's not.Someone abducted her. I got the plate, but I don't have any resource to run it."Wi

"The way she said it," I replied, still trying to wrap my head around the truth. "Hycinth had been adamant that she knew everything. And her wording could have been taken to be consistent that she did.""Well, fuck." He exhaled heavily and ran a hand through his hair. "Honestly, it makes more sense that she wouldn't know that particular aspect."My hand clenched into a fist. "Does it really matter? Maybe she didn't know, but it still doesn't change the reason she left me-I killed her parents.""I don't know if it would have changed anything or not," he admitted in resignation."Maybe not," Sydney said softly, "but according to Luca, Hycinth has been just as miserable away from you as you have been away from her. He's been trying to help her grieve and finally let go of the past. We didn't get into the details, other than for him to confirm she wants to come back to you. Didn't she call you? Isn't that where we're headed?"Hope flared so sharply in my chest, I couldn't breathe. Gulping
