Semua Bab HER DESTINY : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Abbey's point of view.My feet seemed to move on their own, carrying me through the hushed hallways. The silence was thick, and I kept my steps light so as not to wake anyone. I didn’t know where I was going—only that instinct tugged me forward. Turning back felt impossible; I doubted I’d even find my way to my room again.I hadn’t planned a midnight walk, but the mate bond pressed against me, guiding me on. My hand brushed the wall as I went, fingertips gliding across the painted surface like a tether to reality. The motion was calming, almost lulling, until the corridor ended at a pair of large oak doors.I froze, my heart pounding. His scent was stronger here. On the other side.“She’s killing me, whether she knows it or not,” I heard Jeremy’s voice, rough with exhaustion, speaking to someone inside. My pulse spiked. I turned to retreat—but the door burst open before I could take a step.Jeremy filled the doorway, rumpled and weary in a suit he had clearly worn all day. His shirt w

Abbey's point of view I clutched a leather-bound book close to my chest to help calm my nerves. It's been nearly two hours since Jeremy left and not back yet. In the meantime, I managed to freshen up and get changed into a fresh set of clothes. My hair is still damp, dead end sticking to the nape of my neck."Alpha will be here soon." Aira breaks me from my string of thoughts, her eyes refocused from their previous cloudy stare. I nodded, to let her know I had heard her, taking a small step closer to her. I felt uneasy, standing out in the open pack house hallway. I was still a stranger to her. I could feel their hated stare piecing through my skin as pack members passed me by. They aren't even shy about it, openly staring at me, trying to figure out who I am.All of a sudden, their stares were gone. Instead of glaring into my soul, their eyes are cast down as they pass us. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, the answers to my unspoken questions came walking right towards me. Jeremy

Abbey's point of view I almost lost my life, and the bitter truth was that I had no way to defend myself. My father hated me for even daring to learn how to fight. To him, a daughter had no business trying to raise a blade or stand her ground. I was a beta by birth, but what difference did that really make? I might as well have been an omega for all the power and respect I commanded. I could not even recall the color of my wolf anymore, not since it had been so long since I last shifted. That part of me felt foreign, locked away and nearly forgotten. If not for Jeremy, I would have been long gone, swallowed by the cruelty of the world, left to rot on the other side of the earth.Jeremy’s temper was a storm that night. He was boiling with rage, shouting at Ezekiel and Eric as though they were the ones who had left the gates open for the rogue wolf to enter. His voice thundered against the walls, sharp and merciless. He tore into them with words so severe I almost winced on their behal

Abbey's point of view.I can't help but feel anxious about tomorrow. What if Ezekiel agrees with his guards and decides not to change Charity's Prison? There is no way Charity would result in violence without a good reason. All this doesn't make any sense. Not to talk about the conspiracy theory. I drag my dull nails against the carpet floor, peering out the window. It is just past midnight, but it feels late. My eyes are heavy, desperate to sleep, but my body fails to listen. I couldn't stop thinking about Charity and what she is doing now. If I was down in the cell right now, she would be there to comfort me. To hold me, telling me everything would be alright.My gaze trails away from the window to rest on the door. I hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and pulling myself up. I try my best to be light on my feet, quietly padding on to the door. I decided for once to listen to the undeniable pull engraved in my brain.My bare feet padded across the hallway, quietly as

Abbey's point of view It was nearly lunchtime when Jeremy finally came back from his pack business. I didn't have time to be upset about his lack of communication. I am still too wrapped up in Ezekeil's cryptic words. 'I have my reasons.' Before I could even attempt to beg him for more details, he was gone. Slipping into the woods surrounding the house and making his exit.I shifted my weight on the seat, slightly moving around food on my plate. I contemplated what to do about Charity since she has been released temporarily from the cell and locked up in the pack guest house similar to where I stayed when I first came here. She would be assigned her own Aira just like me to look after her and take good care of her."Jeremy can I" I hadn't finished my question when he replied "NO!". He said."But I think it would be better if I.." Jeremy's sharp tongues cut me off. "I said no, and it is final Abbey!" He said. At times like this, I question if Jeremy and I have made any progress in o
