All Chapters of Alpha’s Halfling Mate: Branded By My Sister’s Death : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sireen’s POVI am able to slip out of the hospital grounds without bumping into Alpha Ocean and Luna Elowen because my fear that no one would be able to hold her back if she were to decide to strangle me on sight still tastes fresh on my lips, so I’m not taking any chances.My brain says I should head straight home and unwind, but my lack of answers in the midst of all this chaos causes my mind to wander some place else. I know that what I’m about to do is a terrible idea, and I might just be running headfirst into the very people I’m trying to avoid, but I need answers.So against my better judgement, I head to the other side of town, to Lily’s estate. The place looks deserted when I cross through the gates, because without Lily, there’s hardly any life here. I try my best not to replay images of the place from this same time yesterday, but a round of shivers still manage to run down my spine with just the thought.“Thank you, moon goddess,” I repeat for the umpteenth time, that thi

Sireen’s POVI decide to share enough with Jessica that she has an idea of what’s happening, but not anything that is a secret or too much information. After all, the real culprit is still out there and like Lily said, who knows what they’re up to? So, I tell her. “The lady I work with, Lily, she was hurt under my care. Someone from inside or someone who broke into the estate…I don’t know… put some harmful meds among her usual ones, and it got her…hurt. I look like the suspect, so it has me a little bit disoriented.”Jessica’s jaw visibly slacks. “Oh my. That’s terrible. Is she okay? How bad is it?”“She’ll be fine, I hope,” I say quietly. “It’s bad enough that I almost lost my job, but hey, who needs a job when there’s tea?” I ask, tipping my now empty cup up, but my joke does not register, even with me. “Goddess. When did this happen?”“Really recently,” I say with a humorless laughter, because truthfully, I think I’ll cry if I don’t find it funny.“I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”I

Sireen’s POVThere’s not enough time to pretend like I wasn’t looking because Kristy has already seen me, and her stony glare only hardens the moment she realizes that I was staring at her and Enzo. She stares back at me for a few seconds, and it’s like it clicks in her head that she can gain some upper power in this moment, because she turns to Enzo and flashes him the brightest, flirtiest smile. I fight the urge to roll my eyes at the instant change in behavior, and turn to the field below us. “Can they start this debacle already?” I ask no one in particular, but Camille doesn’t even hear me as she’s busy fixing her hair and shirt beside me, using the camera of her phone. I wonder what has her distracted like this since she said she’s not hooking up with anyone. Letting Camille be Camille, I watch what’s happening on the field.I try not to look to my right where Camille is probably kissing Enzo’s lips just for the sake of it, and I succeed right until the first challenge is about

Trevor’s POV Confronting Kristy on the shitty stunt she pulled in the qualifiers was not my main priority after witnessing how she disrespected Sireen, tainted Kylie’s memory, and used both Kylie and Lily as pawns in pushing her ridiculous agenda. I didn’t even see Kristy after that because five seconds after Sireen stormed out of the field, I went out after her and didn’t return. I knew that she was going to chew my head off because we weren’t exactly in the best place with each other, but I needed to know that she was okay. I got the information I wanted, but not because I went after her. Sireen was already long gone when I stepped outside the school gates. After Lily told me that Sireen looked better than fine to her when I visited the hospital, I took the rest of the time to reflect on how rash I and everyone else truly have been to Sireen, me most of all. Instead of trying to find reason to see Sireen as guilty, I’m supposed to be helping her clear her name. So when I see Kri

Sireen’s POV“You need to leave.”Panicking, that’s the first thing that comes out of my mouth when I see Trevor standing on the other side of my room after crawling in like a thief. My heart is still galloping in my chest, only slowing down a few beats because Trevor is not the intruder that I thought he was, but I’m still riddled with nerves because I can't think of why else he would be here other than to turn me in.With a frown on his face, chest heaving lightly from the activity, he speaks. “You don’t even know why I’m here.”I shake my head. “I don’t need to. Leave.”Trevor is one of the few people who know exactly how Lily got hurt, and he also happened to be there when Beta George revealed that Mr. Abel suffered his heart attack in the same way, so he must have already figured out the connection between the two cases, and that is all I need to know.“I’m not going anywhere until you hear me out,” Trevor objects, and there is no backing down in his tone, neither is there any
