Semua Bab Betrayed by her Destined mate, Claimed by the Alpha: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 22Sharon's POV The whole thing still confused me. Are they not aware that Mirabel is mated to Killian??"The thing is , Mirabel is carrying Killian's baby ," I concluded after a moment of deep thought.."That is true , must I say. Didn't they think about that?" Jake asked , furrowing his brow."I don't think the pack realizes she's pregnant. We have that one advantage over them ," I said , a new fire flickering in my eyes."Then it becomes our game plan to dismantle their useless plan ," he agreed with a firm nod."But before we go to them.. you remember when you claimed my child?" I began , my gaze locking onto his. "I still don’t understand. I have no memory of you and I being together..”Jake shifted uncomfortably , while avoiding my eyes. “Let’s catch Mirabel and Killian for now..”“No.” I stepped forward, voice resolute. “I need answers. You can’t just drop something like that and expect me to ignore it.. Tell me the truth..”He exhaled sharply and ran a hand through hi

Chapter 24Jake’s POV“You hugged me ,” I started , my voice low as I stared into her teary eyes. “And in that moment, Sharon.. I wasn’t the same man anymore.”She looked up at me, her lips trembling. “Jake.. what are you saying?”My hand rose instinctively , cupping her cheek.The warmth of her skin against my palm sent a shiver racing down my spine. “I’m saying.. you don’t know what you do to me. When you're near, I lose all control. And right now.. I don’t want to fight it anymore.”Sharon’s cheeks flushed , and she whispered, “Jake..”“No, let me finish ,” I said, my voice was firm but laced with longing..“The minute your body touched mine , my world shifted. It was just a hug, Sharon but my body.. it reacted to you in ways I couldn’t control. And it was the last thing I expected.”.I took a deep breath.. “All I could think of was our first night together. It’s a pity you can’t remember that blissful moment.”She turned her face slightly , vulnerable but brave. Her fingers clung

Chapter 26Sharon’s POVJake pulled the door open , and he was there Killian, with his face dark , and his emotions unreadable."Killian?" Jake muttered , clearly not expecting his brother..Killian didn’t say a word . Instead , he stepped forward and swung a punch , landing it hard across Jake’s jaw..“What the hell?” Jake growled , stumbling but recovering in an instant.. He didn’t hesitate his fist collided with Killian’s stomach with a sickening thud."Stop it!" I shrieked , my voice breaking as the brothers clashed like titans.Neither of them listened. Jake ducked another wild punch , seized Killian by the collar, and slammed him hard against the wall.. Killian retaliated with a sharp elbow into Jake’s ribs."Stop! Both of you!!" I shouted louder this time, my throat raw.At last , my voice broke through the haze of rage..Jake froze , chest heaving , fists still clenched. Killian glared, his own breathing rough , his eyes stormy.“What are you doing here , Killian?” Jake asked

Chapter 28Sharon's POVEveryone had just left the hall after the meeting. I walked back to Jake’s side , my heart was still heavy but somehow relieved.“Are you okay?” Jake asked softly , with his hand brushing mine.“Yes,” I said , “I only hope this is all over soon.”“It will be ,” he said gently.We reached the house.. Jake stopped at the door. “Go rest.. I’ll be back soon.”“Where are you going?” I asked..“To check on the guards ,” he said. “I won’t be long.”“Be careful ,” I whispered.He kissed my forehead.. “Always.”I stepped inside and locked the door behind me. Sitting down , my mind spun with Mirabel’s reaction playing over and over..“She didn’t expect it ,” I whispered to myself. “She thought I wouldn’t fight back..”I lay in bed upstairs , sleep evading me as memories of her betrayal cut through my thoughts like jagged glass..“How could she?” I whispered to the dark..She had been my best friend once.. We’d laughed together , cried together , trusted each other with e

Chapter 30Mirabel’s POV“Ryker ,” I said, with my voice low and laced with wariness as he materialized from the shadows like a curse come alive. His presence was suffocating , and I hated how the air seemed to be still when he stepped into view.“Mirabel ,” he greeted , his voice was smooth like silk and just as cold.“What are you doing here?” I asked , with my arms folding across my chest , and eyes narrowing.“Following through ,” he replied , with a sick grin curling on his lips.“Following through on what?” I pressed , annoyed.“You..”I flinched.. “Me? What do you want from me?”He began circling me like a predator , slow , deliberate. “I want Sharon..”I blinked , looking all confused and suddenly chilled.. “Sharon?
