Semua Bab The Beta and The Lost Heiress: Bab 231 - Bab 240

TESSA’S POVThe days passed by in a blur; the only things more prominent were the pain I had to endure every day, its steady worsening, and Wraith’s absence.My mother had visited a few times, and it was getting harder to deceive her that I was fine, because even to a blind, I wasn’t.Now Angelina sat beside me, wiping away the sweat on my forehead with a damp towel.“How are you feeling?”“Like crap.”“Well, at least you’re speaking.”There’ve been times I found myself unable to make out a sensible word. She was right; at least I was speaking.“Angelina… Do you have any idea on Wraith whereabout?”She placed the towel into a bowl.“I have no Idea where he is at the moment. In fact, It seems I have little or no idea on a lot of things happening recently. I don’t even know what is really going on with you. All I can tell is that this illness is even beyond our healers knowledge, and they know literally… everything.”“Well, clearly not everything.” I said, offering her a small smile, bu

JAKE’S POVThe last time I’d been to this manor, the Callisters were still the owners. A lot has changed since then. Now, the building was almost unrecognizable—which was a good thing.“I came as soon as I could.” I said to Logan.“Thank you for coming,” he replied, letting me in. “I know this is the last place you’d want to be, but I choose this place because it’s a safer spot.”“It’s fine. And you’ve made a lot of impressive changes since then. ”“I’d hope the changes would make it feel like a whole different place entirely.”“Does it?”“Not really.” He answered. “Do you need something to drink?”“No, I’m fine. I’m eager to hear more about this plan of yours…” I trailed off when I spotted her. Jessica. The woman who’d deceived us and attempted to kill Tessa with the poison, disguised as a cure. “You.” I hissed.She seemed a bit taken aback before realization dawned on her. I didn’t miss the fact that her once red eyes were now grey and her black curls were short and red. She was c

Aaron took off his shirt, flexing his muscles.“I promise to make it quick.” He said and then charged at me. With a swiftness I never thought I had, I countered, landing a punch at the back of his head; he staggered forward but never lost his footing. He spun on his heel, delivering a kick to my knee, and I lost my balance. I was back to my feet just as quickly.He aimed for a low kick, but I backed away just in time, surprising even myself.I’d never gone through any real training, and yet, I’d somehow managed to stand my ground.I dodged his punch. In the same moment, I grabbed his arm and flipped him over. Now I had him pinned, but my weight wasn’t enough to keep him down. He shoved me off him with enough force to send me flying feet above the ground and I landed hard on my back, winded.I tried rising back to my feet, but before I even got the chance, he had his hand wrapped around my throat, lifting me above the ground. I struggled against his grip, but his hold remained true.I

Lilith swiped her access card through the slot, and the door to the control room slid open.She walked in, and I followed.There were about four surveillance staff, all humans, dressed uniformly in navy blue. Their alarmed gazes met us.“Miss L. Your mother has been waiting.” The one closest to us said, but I didn’t miss the suspicion in his eyes as his gaze trailed back to me.“I know that. But I was wondering if I could talk to you first.”“Lady Jessica might be your mother, but we both know that you aren't supposed to be here, and bringing him along..."I could see him secretly reaching for the red buttons. Red buttons were never good.Before he had the chance to push it, I yanked him up by the throat. The other two also reached out to do the same, but Lilith was faster.She smashed both heads against the table and, with one ruthless move, snapped their necks. Their limp bodies fell off the chair.“Kill him,” she said to me.“I promise—I won’t say any—”I snapped his neck, tossing

WRAITH’S POVI sprinted into the Healing ward. “Where is she?” I questioned Helen—one of our pack healers."The Luna had been transferred to the critical care unit—"That’s all the answer I needed and now I sprinted for the CCU.Elizabeth was making her way out of one of the rooms, her gloved hands covered in blood. And from the scent, I could tell whose it was.“Alpha, I don’t think you should go in there—”I stepped past her, making my way into the ward Tessa had been transferred to. Healers swarmed the room, all doing their best to keep her breathing. It seemed nothing was working.“Leave us, all of you.”“But Alpha—”“Leave.”One after the other, they all walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her.Tessa’s heartbeat was so silent, I could have missed it, even in the silent room.I walked to the operating table she’d been placed on, noticing the stitches on her abdomen. Aaron Sylas had stabbed her thrice and left her in a pool of her own blood. If the bastard were still ali
