" Linda?" The three of them called at the same time, shock apparent on their faces. They didn't expect to see me here, much less catch them talking about me."Tell me Alex, how long have you known about this or did you know all along and played me for a fool all this time? You never brought me here because we are mates but because you were planning to use me all along. You just wanted to use me to bait my mother? How could you do that? " I accused him unscrupulously, the pain in my chest multiplied tenfold.Now I even doubt that Rosabella's return is his plan too." Leave us!" Alex ordered and both Valeria and Leo nodded before walking away.Valeria gave me a glance, shaking her head at me but I was too drowned in anger to even decipher the meaning of her actions .Have you ever felt your world tearing apart because everything you knew about yourself was all a lie ? That was what I was feeling at that moment. Broken and shattered, used and discarded and trust me, that has got to be th

" Something else?" Valeria asked and I nodded." Yes, I seem to feel something pulsating inside me. I felt it when those vampires tried escaping. I did not attack them, but something else did. Something emanating from my body." I explained and Valeria seemed deep in thought. " What are you thinking about?"" The way you are describing the situation sounds like how unsealed power reveals itself ." She said, " Abilities are usually related to the race of a being. But they can evolve or change when something major happens, such as the user reaching a certain level alternatively, it could be because your power was sealed and it was forced out because of a circumstance. In your case, the second option seems more feasible. " Valeria explained." But Melody said nothing about it. I can feel it, she's clueless about the whole thing. " I muttered loud enough for Valeria to hear." That's because she's clueless. That's not her power. It's another power hidden inside you." She explained, making

Our gazes locked and nobody said a word.I didn't know what to say. I was afraid that I would run into his arms, forgetting about everything.Even though I agreed to talk to him, that didn't mean I simply forgave him.No way. He has to prove his sincerity to me. He has to show me that the arrival of a third party wouldn't change anything between us." I figured out that you would not have taken anything so I brought you some porridge." Alex finally said, breaking the silence between us. He had been staring at me since he had entered my room." I did not ask you to come," I answered, breaking eye contact with him." You're right, I'm just trying to do the right thing. Please Linda, don't push me away. " He pleaded. I could feel the helplessness in his voice." Just leave, please." I turned my back on him, unable to withstand his gaze. He did not move from his position." I would not be able to rest peacefully knowing that you are angry at me. I know that I have hurt you, but you should

Alex's POVI decided to bring my mate for the council meeting today because I am sure with Rosabella coming back, the elders will try to push me to take her as the Lycan Queen considering that she has my son, a son I haven't met yet.It's not like I don't want to meet him, it's just that Seeing him would remind me of the pain I have caused my mate.For some reasons, I'd rather keep Linda happy than meet that so-called son.Crazy right? But that's how crazy I am for my Mate. At some point, I even thought of leaving everything behind and be with her as she asked." You don't have to worry so much about her,your highness, she is strong. Nothing can put her down." Leo comforted me as we headed to the meeting room but that did not make me feel any better. If anything, it made me feel even more guilty. I promised to protect her. Is thistle how I keep my word? By dragging her to a den of vultures ready to devour her." I have failed her Leo, I have disappointed her. It hurts so much." I repl

Staring at Rosabella walking away, I could not help but frown. I don't Know if I am just overly suspicious or not but I think I caught a faint familiar scent from her body.Deciding to stop overthinking, I headed straight to my room. After the disagreement I had with Alex or should I say misunderstanding, even after solving it, I did not move back to his room .With everything happening, I will prefer to stick around. If he wants, he can move in with me but I swore to myself that I'll only move back to his room after I become his Queen.In the meantime, I'll stay in the room he prepared for me when I came here.I had just Stepped inside the room when the door was pushed open revealing a frowning Alex.One look at him and I could tell that he was worried about the impromptu decision I had made earlier." What's up lover boy?" I asked, sending wink his way. I Just wanted to lighten the mood but Alex was not having any of it." Quite fooling around Linda. Do you know what you just did?"
