Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 89

VIOLETPoison?Did he just say poison? Judging by his uniform, he was probably one of the securities that lined the perimeter of the main house.Lucian’s eyes narrowed. “Poisoned? Who?”“One of the upper maids.” The man said breathlessly.Lucian turned to me. “Stay here. I’ll be back.”“What do you mean stay here?” I got out of my seat. “I’m coming with.”He didn’t argue, instead turning back to the man. “Lead the way.”We hurried right after the man who led us to the second kitchen at the back. Sure enough, there was a maid on the floor, frothing from the mouth.A bunch of other people were gathered around her, panic and tension filling the air. Her eyes weren’t open anymore. And her face seemed drained of all color.“Move.” Lucian ordered.Everyone cleared a path instantly. He got down to the floor and moved one hand to check her breathing. Then her pulse. I could feel the moment Lucian’s entire mood shifted. All the staffs around seemed to get it to.“What’s going on?”Zayn and Ree

VIOLET“For the hundredth time, I am not avoiding him.”This conversation was starting to feel repetitive. And the longer I exchanged words with Reese, the more intense the feeling of déjà vu that was hitting me.I’d definitely had that conversation before. Reese was the closest thing to a best friend, someone I’d never had before. Which meant I told her every single thing that happened in my life (the fake bits of course), right down to what color of panties I was wearing.That was how much I trusted and cared about her. I wasn’t exactly lying to her. I only told her the bits and pieces of my relationship with Lucian.And I’d told her about the kiss. Well, tweaked it a little. She’d seemed puzzled as to why Lucian would go as far as avoiding me over something as simple as a kiss but eventually she let it go.Now though, it was a different case entirely. “Girl, be serious. You literally came all the way to my room to avoid staying in the same room with him.”“For a valid reason.” I ar

VIOLET“Are you serious?” I stepped forward.The guard turned to me, a disturbed look in his eyes as he nodded. “Yes, Luna.”Another growl left Lucian’s lips. “Well, who is it? Who’s the person behind this?”There was a small pause. It seemed the man was at a loss for what to say. Or rather he seemed too disturbed to speak. I knew if he didn’t get to talking anytime soon, Lucian would lose his cool and end up lashing out on him.I put a hand on Lucian’s shoulder, noting as the look of irritation in his eyes slowly softened. Turning back to the man, I steeled my expression once again.“Speak.”The man let out a deep breath. “We did a thorough investigation of their individual rooms hoping to find something. It ended up leaving us at a dead end. We considered coming to just report it to you but something pushed me to suggest searching her room.”I blinked. “You went through her belongings?”“Forgive me!” The man nearly slammed his head into the ground with how fast he bowed. “I know how

VIOLET“Anon?”It had been so low that I doubt anyone at the table caught on. They were too busy placing their orders to notice my panic.“What’s wrong?” Lucian asked, breaking through the haze in my head.Of course, he’d noticed. Even if the others hadn’t been paying attention, he always noticed these things.“What?” I blinked away the surprise. “Nothing’s wrong. Why do you ask?”He followed the path my gaze had been on, then turned back to me. “You sure?”Shit. He really had noticed. Curse him and his attentiveness. And here I’d thought I was so slick. The smile was easy to force on my face.“I’m fine. Honestly.”He let out a grunt, not sounding like he believed me. “I was asking what you wanted for dessert.”I turned back to the menu, running my eyes over the dessert section. Every bit of excitement I’d had initially had been replaced with anxiousness. I couldn’t check the man out again. Not when Lucian was paying increasing attention to me.“How about the lemon meringue?” I turned

VIOLETI knew things were changing. Faster than I’d like to say I had control over them. But it wasn’t exactly something I could actively fix either.Anon had been borderline mute since lunch at Masos. All attempts at trying to get a reply from him after then? Failed.That wasn’t the most unusual. Lucian’s actions had been more or less strange. I wouldn’t say I was completely opposed to it either. That night, he’d stayed with me through out as he promised. Didn’t leave my side even till morning.Was it embarrassing? Yes. But even my attempts at shaking him off weren’t working. He was…clingy. Something that was all sorts of odd for Lucian Sinclair.“So, what do you say?” Lucian asked, eyes filled with eagerness and a hint of excitement.I stared, unable to hide my amusement. “You’re not actually serious.”“Oh, but I am.” He chuckled, jingling his keys a little.“Don’t you have Alpha duties to attend to?” I folded my arms.He fixed me a look. “Now I feel like you’ll keep using that agai
