Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayal, Love and Revenge: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

ASPEN VESPER“Kai…” Aspen breathed while she continued to push her failing legs past the thick forest. “Kai… Please…” Her eyes filled with tears but she quickly blinked them away. She would cry all she wanted once she’s safe in her mate’s arms.Besides, if her calculation was right, that day was their official mating ceremony. So, more reason to ignore the pain in her soul and get to the venue before her mate, Kailin Blackwood, could think otherwise of the love she had for him.So, Aspen ran until the wedding setup they planned came into view. With a limp in her soul and legs, she made for the exquisite decor which was already filled with people who came to wish the newlyweds well. As she moved, Aspen wondered if her parents were anywhere nearby. She was certain that with a quick wash and simple makeup, she would be ready in no time to-“Lycan Kailin Blackwood, do you accept Raven Vesper to be your mate?”The loud words of the officiating priest halted Aspen’s motion.Her heart thudde

KAILIN BLACKWOOD“I heard something strange,” Raven Vesper’s soft voice pulled him out of his simple slumber.Lycan Kailin cleared his throat, sat up and watched with coldness in his eyes as the woman carrying his heir walked towards him.“Did you send for a doctor from that Rebel Pack?”Kailin’s brows lifted a bit. “What if I did?”“Kai,” the Lycan almost winced at that form of his name, “the Rebel Pack is our enemy. Sending for one of them is as good as telling them to take over our palace.”Raven sat next to him, but he barely looked in her direction when he said, “You have no place or right to tell me what to do,”She gasped. “I am your Luna, Kai.”“Kailin,” he breathed through his gritted teeth. Then, with ferociousness in his eyes, he faced her. “My name is Kailin. You do not want to know how terrible I’ll treat you the next time you use that stupid nickname for me.”“Kai…lin,” Raven let out a shuddering breath, “are you still…?” The man narrowed his gaze, he knew what she was a

ASPEN VESPERIf Lance had nothing to do with what was happening, what then was going on?Was there a force, just like three years ago, trying to ruin her life? Does someone already know her true identity and has chosen to do something to shut her up forever?“Can you give us more details?” Lance queried. “You can’t just arrest us without evidence, but since you have done that, at least tell us what’s going on.”The guard leading the walk to the prison stopped. And when he turned to face others who had to halt their steps as well, he made sure not to hide his anger. “You need to stop talking. I don’t care if you are the Alpha King of your ridiculous pack. You are just a nobody and I am pretty sure you will be dead soon.”Lance wasn’t moved by the man’s fury. While he relaxed into the grips of the men holding him, he let a little smile grow and said, “You are avoiding the question. Are you trying to frame innocent souls just because they are from a pack you do not like?”The guard rushe

ASPEN VESPERThe desperation and bleakness in Kailin’s eyes caused her not to shrug his grip away. For many seconds, his request rang in her ears, and she realised why Lance was concerned she would not be able to carry out their mission fully.The moment she saw Kailin’s eyes and felt his touch, her soul became heated, and it felt like she would fall sick at that very moment. Her soul suddenly desired to be held by the man who used to be her mate. She wished for him to run his warm hands through her hair while calling her cheesy names. She wished to be in bed with him, talking about silly things. She wished, for the first time, that the last three years didn’t happen.And when the wishful side of Aspen realised that none of those things would be possible, her eyes teared up in a way she could not control.Thankfully, her emotions were shielded by her mask. So, when she snapped her soul back to reality, she gently walked out of Kailin’s grip.“What do you think you are doing?” she aske
