บททั้งหมดของ THE ALPHA’S ACCUSED MATE: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Aurora's POVThe elder leaned closer, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. He was relishing my pain as if it were his favorite snack. What a psychopath.A part of me wondered if the rest of the elders were like this.Well, they did want me dead, so I’d already gotten the answer I was looking for."Stop trying to fight it, because it will only make things worse. All you have to do is confess, and I will make it stop."My vision blurred so badly that I couldn't see anything. It was like I was in a trance.But the pounding from my head told me otherwise. It was like my head was splitting in half.The sweat was already seeping from my pores. The drumming sound bubbling from my chest made the veins on my head bulge out.It was like I could see my life force slowly leaving my body."Please stop. Please... I beg you," I gasped, my voice coming out in harsh breaths.No matter how much air I took in, it never seemed to be enough.I couldn't breathe.The elder noticed my eyes flickering, so he

Lucien’s POVArnaud, that traitor, I grumble inwardly. So he was working for my father after all. How could I not see that?"And what did your informant tell you?" I ask casually.My father leans back, adjusting his posture as his fingers meet in a prayer-mantis style."Hmm." He purses his lips together."He said a lot of things, but I need to hear them from my son first before I make my decision. The boy I raised knows how to make the right decisions, so I'm sure this is all probably just a misunderstanding." He grins, amusement shining in his eyes, but I find nothing funny.If there was anything this discussion made me feel, it was anger, though I didn’t let it show. It was best to keep things natural.The door opens, and one of my father's servants walks in. I notice a glimmer of happiness in his eyes.My brows arch as the servant places cups of tea in front of us.I have to admit that this was unexpected. Just as quickly as he entered, the servant disappears from sight, closing th

I kept my expression tight as I put on a brave face. Breaking was not an option at this point. They were not going to see me fall apart.My hands were clammy as I waited, my gaze flicking from side to side as I examined the people before me. Slowly, disappointment began to creep into my chest. A part of me was really hoping to see Lucien again. Since he wanted me dead, the least he could do was actually look me in the eyes as I met my end. But he wasn’t here? Now that I gave it some thought, ever since Arnaud brought me here, I hadn’t seen him.My resolve hardened as I narrowed my eyes, then dropped them to my hands bound with chains. My hands had never been delicate and soft like my sister’s, who was the true definition of a soft and feminine lady. Staring at what had become of me made me regret every choice I’d made that led to this moment.Life was governed by choices, and all my life I just happened to make the wrong ones... else I might not be in this condition.A loud creak from

Aurora's POVWhat the hell was going on?I wanted to scream those words aloud with each passing second the moment I saw Aria standing in front of me.From the look on her face and the pace of her heartbeat, it was clear she was going to testify against me."Aria," I mumbled under my breath, just enough for her to hear.Was this the evidence Nathalie had orchestrated to secure my downfall?Aria didn’t say anything. Honestly, I didn’t think she would, given the circumstances."Speak, child. Do not be afraid; that murderer has nothing against you now," one of the elders said, sucking in a deep breath. The smile on his face grew wider. Unlike me, he was enjoying every bit of this.Aria’s gaze shifted to me, her eyes devoid of any emotion."The Alpha asked me to serve Lady Aurora after she framed her previous maids. I used to think what happened was true, until the... same thing happened to me."Every ounce of composure I was holding onto evaporated from my body instantly as I whipped my n

Lucien's POVSeeing Aurora in so much danger nearly made me lose my mind. My chest was tight with anger, but I kept a straight face."Lucien."My father growled from the side, but it didn't matter—especially after that stunt he pulled. He poisoned his own son, Arnaud, betraying me because he felt he was doing the right thing. Thankfully, I was able to get through to him, and he gave me the antidote.This case was just bringing out the worst in everyone, which left me to figure out this whole thing by myself.That was the only option."No one will touch Aurora until it has been proven that she is the murderer," I said, making sure my voice was hoarse with command.I was the alpha, and it was high time it sank into their brains."There is evidence. More than enough to show that she is a murderer. Look at my daughter, Nathalie. She has more than enough evidence to show that girl is evil."My hands flew over to Nathalie, who was in the corner, and she flinched. She wasn't expecting me to
