Semua Bab Chained By Fate: Bab 91 - Bab 100

FAITHThere was a long, unsettling silence as we both got ready for bed, and I found myself watching him from the corner of my eye. The more he relaxed, the more I regretted not asking him my questions sooner. I couldn't keep sleeping with him and sleeping next to him without knowing the truth. “That meeting you went to, the one that took a week,” I asked as he laid down, and I leaned over, running my finger down the new scar there, hating that he had been hurt and had no way to contact anyone in our pack for backup. “Can you tell me which pack you were visiting?”“That’s not a question I can answer right now. All I can tell you is that they had once been an ally. I went to ask for their support, and they said no. That’s all there is to it.” He said, but his voice was strained. The ceiling fan spun over us, the slight humming filling the room as I felt his stress through our bond. He had hidden it well before, but I could feel that he was really bothered by this. “How badly do we

KAIDEN“Tell me you found a way to shield her,” I demanded as Juliana sat in the chair across from me on the other side of my desk.Faith’s scent had been all over the room. She had seen everything. The ancient weapons, the map, and the ledger. Gods, when I picked it up, I could smell her fear and stress on it. She must have been really convincing for Will to have believed her when she told him that a nightmare had caused her fear because my office still reeked of it. “I’m on the verge, but I can’t seem to get it quite right,” Juliana said with frustration. “How close are you?” I asked, and she shrugged. “I am not working with a lot of blood. You are asking a lot here. You have me wanting to shield her, but also to figure out how Cain is collecting magic from his mates and with the bond in place…” Juliana said, and I cut her off. “A Binding Blade. He was about to cut Sable’s throat with it.” I said, and her eyes widened. “I thought those had been destroyed!” Juliana gasped with

FAITH A groan left my lips as I rolled onto my back, the damp sheets beneath me sending a shiver through my entire body.I felt like I was on fire, yet the layer of sweat covering me had me shaking uncontrollably. The nightmares had been awful, but the more I returned to consciousness, the more I feared that it had been real with how hot the room was.In my dream, Cain and Ryan had retaliated, and our pack house had been burning down. We had all been trapped inside, clawing at the stone walls, but they had been heating up, too, like an oven. One by one, everyone I cared about dropped dead, burnt alive, and I was scrambling, struggling to find an exit that hadn't been blocked. Kaiden had been at my side, holding my hand, pulling me left and right through the maze of hallways, guiding me through the pack house as we tried to locate a possible exit.There had been flames everywhere, on every flammable surface, reaching for us like hands trying to grab us as we ran past. We couldn’t

KAIDENJackson glared at me as I left the room, and I put my hand out for the cell phone. He handed it over to me, and I pressed End Call before shoving it into my pocket. I could have laughed as Jackson sputtered in frustration that I had just hung up on the very frustrated and frustrating Alpha Hilliard.Once I was in the security of my office, I would call her back, but sometimes, even Alphas needed to understand that they were not in charge of other packs. I had rules, procedures, and boundaries. If I told her I would call her back, she had no right to tell me that wasn't how this would go.“Alpha, I don’t think… She was really angry.” He warned, and I nodded, knowing that was probably true. It only took a minute before we arrived, and I pulled out the phone. It was Jackson’s personal phone, and I assumed Lilly had gotten angry at me for not answering and had called him as a workaround.The screen lit up, and I recognized the number, amazed that I could do so after all this time

FAITH The dungeon was charged with energy, the tension was practically palpable, and I glanced at Will nervously. All of the guards looked exhausted and annoyed, leaving me feeling anxious about what I was about to face. Still, I needed to do this. I had to see my sister. I had to try to reason with her. She had always been a little territorial and jealous but never crazy to this extreme, and this new version of her was certifiable. The darkness inside her was consuming, and I knew she wouldn’t be able to get it out without help. “Faith,” Will said, sounding hesitant, and from the way he was glancing at one of the guards, I figured he was being talked to in the pack link. “We should come back tomorrow.” “What?” I asked, spinning to face him. My shield was up, and I had permission to wander the pack land still, so there was no reason for me to have to leave. “Why?” A low giggle filled the room, getting louder by the second until it was a full maniacal laugh. I knew the sound.
