All Chapters of Alpha’s Halfling Mate: Branded By My Sister’s Death : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sireen’s POVTrevor and I stand for a long moment, watching and waiting for the other to break the ice.He looks downright feral.His dark eyes are hooded, holding me captive and peeling me back inch by inch, because there aren’t that many layers left of me that he hasn’t seen. At a point, his grip on the handle of the door tightens till his knuckles are white and popping with veins, and I wonder if he’s restraining himself from doing something.When Trevor releases the handle, fists his hands, and takes a long purposeful step in my direction, I draw in a sharp breath and start to ramble.“I don’t know why I said that. I’m so sorry. I’ve made things worse for you. I shouldn’t have been listening, and I shouldn’t have spoken, but I just got so angry at the way…”Trevor closes the entire gap between us and steals the words right out of my lips as he seals them in a rough kiss. I gasp, but he takes the opportunity to slide his tongue between my open lips, taking me even more by surprise.

Sireen’s POVI don’t know the scene I expect to see once my eyes make out Lily inside the room, but the imagination of her sitting up on the hospital bed and demanding to be taken home while threatening everyone in her way is immediately erased when I see the first room empty. Light on my feet but with my heart about to burst through my chest, I move to the door on the opposite side and press my face to the see-through square.This time, there’s a man on the bed, not anywhere near my age, and a far younger looking man sitting on a chair beside his bed, holding his hand with his head resting against the sick one’s thigh.It takes me seconds to check two more doors, and none of them have Lily inside, and a bigger fear materializes, daring me to think that I might be checking the wrong section entirely. My scattered thoughts are the reason why I don’t notice someone entering the hallway from the other end, and not just someone, but it’s the frustrated doctor I saw outside when I came her

Sireen’s POVAn hour class feels like an eternity of torture in hell with Trevor being Lucifer. I only dared look his way twice, and on both times, he was already looking at me with the same expression on his face. Accusation.It was so bold, and there was no mistaking it for something else.My plan is that the minute Mr Abel finishes with us, I’m out of class because thankfully, this is the only class for the day that I have with Trevor. I don’t know the first thing to say to him when his look tells me all that I need to know. He finds me guilty. My plan is scattered because the moment class is over, Trevor pushes to his feet and marches up to me with purpose like he knows of my attempt to run. People file out with the lecturer, but a handful of people remain. I feel a hand slide into my left one and Camilla’s voice in my ear. “I’m not going anywhere, okay?”Before I can respond to her reassurance, which I’m thankful for, Trevor is in front of me, and if I thought his presence wa

Trevor’s POVOn another day, I’d berate myself for ignorantly letting someone sneak up on me like this, but my limbs all ache, shooting pain up my arms and thighs. A conviction in my heart tells me that I’d give a lot for this pain to matter enough to make a decent dent in the one I feel inside, which it doesn’t. Sweat forms a sheen on my forehead and neck, and rolls down my chest and back, soaking the black sleeveless shirt I have on.Swallowing my pants with a heaving chest, I take Kevin in before turning back to the bag. I don’t want him here, but he looks like he’s dressed up for this place, a training bag wrapped around his left hand, so I know that my chances of getting rid of him are incredibly thin.“What the fuck are you doing here, Kevin?” I spit out. “Your mates are in class.”I imagine the smug look on the pest’s face before I even hear his voice as he says. “No. My mate is right here.”I grunt, spare him a heated glance, and just as I bet, the look is there. I refuse to t

Sireen’s POVI’m still very very stunned. Beyond confused as to why Lily would try to kill herself, but I try my hardest to remain quiet because it’s not in my place to ask questions. Not once in all the weeks that I’ve worked with her did she give me any indication that she didn’t want to live. It just makes no sense. When she then asks me to stay behind without any more explanation to her family, I see the resistance in both Trevor’s parent’s eyes and his, and I think Lily does too, because she speaks to everyone again.“Now that I’m not going to be around in the mean time, Sireen will have more work on her hands with tending to my herbs and plants, so can you all hurry on out so she can be at the estate soon? I need to give her some notes.”Elowen audibly gasps and I silently wish that the ground would split under my feet take me in, and spit me out somewhere far away from here.I’m not surprised when she speaks or with what she says. “That won’t be necessary.” She turns to Lily.
