Mated To The Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Liana's POV I had no idea why I hadn't thought about it till now. I'd always prided myself on the fact that I was a really thoughtful person, and that I took tinu details to heart, but right now, I couldn't but think maybe it was time to take a step back. How could I have missed it? The signs were glaring and in front of me, so how could it have skipped my mind? Had I been that occupied with snooping out Richard's secret that I was losing focus of other important things? I didn't give myself an answer immediately, but I felt I didn't need one. Deep down, I knew the truth, and whether I admitted it or not, nothing was going to change that. “Liana?” The sound of my name beside me was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked back a couple of seconds, willing my eyes to adjust to my immediate surroundings again. Richard's face came into view first, and I didn't miss the shock etched into his expression. “Are you okay?”“Yeah. Yeah.” I nodded. “I'm sorry, I just zoned out

Liana's POV I didn't know what was happening, and if I was being honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to know. A groan slid past my lips as pain blossomed all around me. It started from the center of my skull, before spreading down and into places I didn't even know was possible. My lungs were on fire, and every breath I took felt like it would be the last. Like all of that wasn't bad enough, I had no idea where the hell I was. Was I dead? As far as I know, it was said that dead people couldn't feel pain once they were gone or in the afterlife, and right now, what I was feeling was more than pain. In fact, I could bet my life that the right word to describe my situation, hadn't been discovered yet. So if I wasn't dead, yet, what the hell was going on? I slowly peeled my eyes open, and believe me when I said it was nothing like I imagined. Smoke billowed into my eyes and mouth, and a series of coughs raked through my entire body. My eyes burned, but I just couldn't afford to keep the

Liana's POV When Kieran and I had left the hospital, I didn't know how I felt. Perhaps it was exhaustion or it had something to do with the trauma of almost losing your life and watching it flash before your eyes, I wasn't exactly sure. All I knew, was the fact that I wanted the hollow feeling inside me to disappear. I always knew life was fickle, but the amount of time it took for something to go horribly wrong, was too little, I couldn't even bare it anymore. Tiva and I had set out today to get Kieran's favorite paintbrushes. None of us would have been able to predict that we would get into an accident, and if the driver hadn't acted when he did, then the chances that she would have gone up into flames alongside the car, was very very high. It was the height of it all, that made me slightly nauseous, and also increased the burning in my skin. I didn't want Kieran to find out, but I knew he would eventually. Trying to keep it from him would be equivalent to trying to hide the

Liana's POV I didn't rest,there was no way I could. No matter how hard I tried, I always found one thing or the other bugging my thoughts. “You need to relax.” Kieran's words made their way to my mind. “I want you to do that while I'm gone today. Okay?” “Yes.” I'd responded. “Don't worry. I will.” I didn't tell a lie when I told him I was going to rest, but in my defense, I'd been trying to do that all day, but to no avail. No matter what I tried, or what method I used, it just didn't work. In fact, you could say that the more I tried to rest, the more restless I became. It was like trying to do something, and getting the exact opposite of it. I honestly tried taking a stroll in the gardens, and even sunbathing, but nothing seemed to work. By the time it was high noon, I literally gave up even trying. It was no longer possible to follow what Kieran had asked of me, so I decided to put my day to good use. And by good use, I simply meant trying to analyze and figure out who coul

Liana's POV      If I had thought the conversation at the table was weird, then clearly, I was in for an entirely different thing altogether. A wave of silence blanketed the entire room, and Richard's words hung in the air.  I allowed it to sink in, but no matter how many times the words echoed in my head, I just couldn't make sense of it.  “In other packs.” He'd finished the words before Kieran could even complete the sentence. “I understand. And I can really help you with that. I don't even mind going as far as four packs, just to see if the problem is fixed.”Just like that? It was a nice gesture, don't get me wrong, but right now, that was the last thing I expected to happen. Judging from the fact that in the beginning, Richard was totally against the project in the first place, and now, he was volunteering to help him out, by going all the way to packs four times farther than our
