Semua Bab Mated To The Brutal Alpha: Bab 51 - Bab 59

TessaI lie on my side, facing the wall clock, my eyes fixed on the slow, merciless crawl of the second hand, my heart beating so fast.It's pathetically still 10:26 p.m. The guards, the maids and every other household servant eats by ten. And I had hoped that at least in thirty minutes time, the sleeping pills should have begun to do their work. I mean that's what the vendor Beatrice bought the pills from made her believe. Yet, I can't help but wonder, what if they were wrong. What if this doesn't work?I have to help George escape tonight. My father was explicit about killing Freya if George doesn't return to the pack by tomorrow. I swallow, my throat dry, forcing myself to stay still, to wait for at least another four minutes. But my fingers keep twitching against the sheets. I squeeze my eyes shut, then open them again, staring at the clock like I can push the time forward.Yet, it's 10:28. Two minutes more.My legs ache with tension. I can’t do this anymore. I sit up abruptly.

TessaMy chest feels too tight, like something is sitting on it. I remain silent, staring at him. I don't even know what to say.I can't just bluntly say it was Beatrice, I doubt he will let this pass.“You’ve suddenly grown mute, haven’t you?” he says, his brows furrowing.I swallow.He takes a step back, jaw tightening. “Very well. I’ll find out myself.” His eyes harden. “And every single person who helped you achieve this will be severely punished.”He turns to leave.Fear creeps in and I rush towards him. “No.. Please!” I say, grabbing his wrist.He stops and slowly, his gaze drops to where my hand clutches him. I pull away instantly as though I’ve touched fire.“Please don’t hurt her,” I whisper.One brow lifts. “So….it’s a she….Fantastic”My stomach drops and he strides past me, hurriedly.“Alpha Renric…please!” I hurry after him, my feet barely keeping up. “I gave her no choice. Please!”He doesn’t slow. “So I’m supposed to be comfortable having someone whose loyalty lies elsew

Tessa“My bride-to-be thinks I should spare your life.” Renric says, his gaze hardening. “But I can’t.” He moves the gun forward, letting the metal press against her forehead.My heart begins to beat faster.“You undermined my authority. You chose to collide with her and drugged my household.”She gasps, her entire body going rigid as she squeezes her eyes shut.“B-but… she is to be your Luna,” she stammers, voice breaking. “Your queen…She gave me an order and I obeyed. I have always been loyal to the royal household, Your Majesty. Please… I don’t deserve to die for being obedient.”My hands rub together helplessly. “Alpha Renric, you don’t have to kill her,” I whisper, dragging myself out of Kael's grip. “Please.”His eyes flick to me and he stares for a while. “She was willing to let those two die with her….How diabolical.”Her breathing turns ragged. “It would have been a quick death,” she says hoarsely. “Only the Goddess knows what you intend to do with me now.”He scoffs and surp

TessaI spent the previous night scrolling on Facebook and reading everything written about the rogue prince.“A true Lycan King,” they all acclaimed him to be.But what really baffled me was Damon agreeing to centralise the rogues in the West and make them a pack.What was he thinking?I am about to make a turn, heading back to my room when I see Renric's study room slightly ajar. I take a step closer, curiosity peeking in. That's when I hear Renric and Lennox's voices, creeping out. “What’s this I hear?” Lennox says, sounding angry. “That you still intend to wed the girl? After promising me you wouldn’t?”My heart slams against my ribs. Are they really talking about me?I press myself against the cold wall beside the door, trying to eavesdrop further.“I paid a huge amount for that girl.” Renric replies.“So it’s about the fucking money?” A chair scrapes sharply across the floor. “I will refund you all of it. How much? Three hundred million?”“Why do you even care so much about my
