All Chapters of A Blind Gamble: The Mate I Never Chose: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Raid's POV I spent the rest of my day buried in the books, looking for the answer my father might have hidden in the Study. I had no idea what they were transporting to Khang but I knew it was in there. The number of hours he spent studying, there's no way he didn't leave a clue. “Alpha,” Algae walked in. I gestured for him to pause as I read my father's note carefully. He wrote about a rare tree that produced a flower often mistaken for wolfsbane. I wondered why he was fascinated about a topic such as that. “Raid, it's important,” "Of course it is,” I exhaled as I kept the book back on the shelf. “Everything that comes to me is important. I don't even remember the last time I had genuine fun without mixing it with work,” “Let me in!” Someone roared from the other side of the door. Judging from the voice, it was Silver's hot headed cousin. “Is that the important event?” I asked with a weary expression. “Just handle him please. I don't have the strength to babysit a temperate w

Silver's POVI laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling as I recalled what happened to be the most intriguing night I have had in a while. The strange part was that we were discussing business but the strange sexual tension was still there. As much as my insides craved something, I knew the timing was wrong. “Are you going to tell me what happened?” Jericho stood by the door. “You have been lying there for hours and I have waiting for you to say something,” “First, cousin, you love gossip like a girl. Second, there's nothing to say,” “We used to talk about things a lot. Why change that now?” He sat beside me. “That was when we were kids. Don't you have a life outside all these? Dating anyone? Dated anyone?” I was genuinely eager to know. “I dated and that was years ago, the first year at college. You had just left at the time,” He answered with a calm look. Suddenly he was the one that appeared lost in thought. “What happened to her?” “Ask your new business partner,” He answered

Silver's POV“I'm sorry if I am intruding your space,” Raid broke the silence as we drove into the parking space. “I felt more safe driving with you. I know you will protect me if something goes wrong,” “What?” I was lost. I could hear what he said but found it difficult to process with the terrorizing imaginations in my head. “I meant it as a joke but you seem distraught. Are you sure you are okay?” He drew nearer. My body instantly recoiled at his touch, reacting in panic. I didn't mean it to be obvious but unfortunately it was. From the surprised look on his face, I knew he had picked on it. “Don't you want to do this?” I was quiet, allowed the driver to step out before I muttered my response“What if I say I don't want to? What if I just want to go to a beach and escape all of this? What will you do?” His countenance changed with a brief smile to hide the awkwardness of the moment. “Then, I will personally drive you to the beach. You are free, Silver, to do whatever you wan

Silver's POV A day that was supposed to be known in history as Raid’s first official day in office was marked with bloodshed. Echo Secret Agents lost their lives during the altercation. Algae, Jericho and other injured agents were admitted as soon as we could. It was difficult for their healing to kick in as they used silver bullets. “Silver bullets, mistletoe, wolfsbane, these guys didn't come out of thin air. They came prepared, financially especially,” The leader of the Echo Secret Agents said. I was in a room with him and the elders in the Alpha mansion. The alpha seat remained empty as no one had seen Raid since. My mind lashed back to the moment I saw him carving the skin of one of the attackers. The joy that came off him terrified me, he felt really happy. He took off the second I laid eyes on him. “The one known as Sanders escaped,” He continued his briefing. “ I have squads covering a twelve mile radius. He can't escape,” “They planned it down to the last detai

Silver's POV “You threatened to kill his child?” Jericho reacted furiously. “Silver, we are desperate but not petty. We don't threaten to kill kids, we don't torture children for the sins of their father. You should know better,” “Your sister only did that to …” “Spare me the lecture, Argyle.” He disrupted Raid arrogantly. “You and your manipulation made her take a measure such as this. The Silver I knew would never use a man's child against them,” “Things change,” I breathed. I was exhausted from listening to them argue about what I could and couldn't do. “Arent you tired of fighting in a war that isn't ours? Taking up a burden that the past generation left behind for us. We are threatened by the Grand Alpha, Jericho,” “A very big reason why you shouldn't have done what you did,” He replied with a calm voice. “You just showed that there is no difference between you and him. I told you from the start, you can't do business with Argyles without tainting your soul,” “W
