Semua Bab Mated To The Brutal Alpha: Bab 41 - Bab 50

TessaAunt Ophelia is dead? My chest tightens.None of these makes any sense. She wasn't even ill the last time we spoke to each other and she never struck as one easy to kill.“How did she die?” I ask as Lennox rises from the sofa.“Her body was found in a car garage,” he says, walking to me.“A car garage?” I repeat, glancing at both Renric and Lennox. “The wife of the richest man in the GoldenMoon Pack… killed and dumped in a car garage?” My breath stutters. “That doesn’t make sense.”And then it does. My heart pounds as the realization crashes into me. “It’s George,” I say, the words tumbling out before I can stop them. “And his father…. It has to be.” I throw my gaze at Lennox.“I believe you,” he says, stepping closer. He then takes a hold of my hand.In that instant, I see Renric throwing him glare from the corner of my eyes and that's surprising. Regardless, Lennox doesn't withdraw his hand, perhaps because he doesn't notice the sudden reaction of Renric or he doesn't care.Le

TessaHis gaze moves slowly, taking in the red gown clinging to my body, the way my shoulders are bare.For a heartbeat, I feel seen.Then he exhales and pulls himself back, as though he’s just realized where he is. He reaches into his pocket and brings out a small set of keys. He presses them into my palm. “I’ve had your locks worked on,” he says. “Your privacy is now yours alone.”I stare at the keys, “thank you,” I whisper.He nods once, already turning away.“Kael,” I call before he can take another step.He pauses but doesn’t face me. “Dr. Jessica has resigned…Do… Do you know why?”He turns back slowly. His expression hardens, “I had a chat with her,” he says calmly. “She was a problem… Now she isn’t.”My breath hitches. My lips part, but nothing comes out. I furrow my brows in confusion, trying to understand. “What did you tell her?”“You don’t have to know everything, little wolf.”I nod, swallowing the knot in my throat. But deep down, I want to know what he told her that cou

TessaA murmur ripples through the ballroom as Alpha Lennox stride in behind Renric, as if they came together.Suddenly the music stops. A clear, commanding voice cuts through the air from the elevated DJ platform. “Alpha Renric, the Lycan King of the Northern Lythengar… and Alpha Lennox, the Lycan King of the Eastern Lythengar.”Every Alpha in the room straightens. One by one, they bow as both Renric and Lennox walk in.Lennox veers to the right, his sharp eyes already locked on George and his family. I watch his shoulders square as he approaches them. Oh goddess, what is he up to?Renric, however, stops directly in front of me.My pulse quickens. I suddenly feel the need to hide like a child caught doing something forbidden.For a heartbeat, he only looks at me. Then, to my utter shock, he extends his hand, obviously expecting me to take a hold of it and walk with him.Kael stiffens beside me. “Where is Bianca?” he asks, unable to hide the edge in his voice.Renric’s eyes shift to h

TessaGeorge, my sister's murderer, hangs from chains bolted into the ceiling, wrists shackled above his head, ankles barely touching the ground.His face is swollen, one eye nearly sealed shut, lips split and dark with dried blood, bruises blooming across his ribs.When Kael dragged George in last night, Renric had ordered him to keep George comfortable. I should have known this was what he meant.It is still surprising that Renric reacted the way he did. He has been distanced towards me ever since I arrived and yet flared up. Perhaps all this is just about his ego, his so-called bride-to-be beaten by a mere alpha’s heir and he wants to show superiority.Regardless, the sweetest part of all these is that I am standing right before George, satisfaction booming inside of me, my arms folded across my chest.“You .. are finally getting what you deserve…murderer.” I blurt.His head lifts slowly. “Don’t gloat yet,” he rasps. “Not when you still don’t know the fate of your precious friends.

Tessa Who exactly is she? And why does he have a painting of us in wedding gowns?My breath stutters as my gaze flicks between the date and the paintings.I hear footsteps approaching and I hurriedly step out, walking back into the room.I am still around the cabinet area when Renric walks in. He halts, locking eyes with me and that makes my heart pound.“What are you doing?” he asks.“N..nothing,” I say too quickly.He looks behind me, furrowing his brows. “Did you go into my painting room?”“You have a painting room?” I ask, looking behind, trying to pretend to be unaware. "Of course you do,” I say, throwing my gaze back to him, my feet trembling beneath me.His expression suddenly becomes unreadable.“I just came to put the first-aid box back…” I point at the cabinet beside me.” “This was exactly where you brought it from…. Wasn't it?”I swallow hard, my heart now pounding so violently.He says nothing, only stares at me for a while, like I'm auditioning for a role.“You may leave
