All Chapters of A Blind Gamble: The Mate I Never Chose: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Silver's POV“Get down, Miss Salvatore,” Kaleb demanded but I didn't move. His mercenaries attempted to take the stairs but they were intercepted by Algae who was already halfway to me. “Beta Algae!” Justin Horizon called out fiercely, the whole room became filled with gasp. He might be a Horizon but the aura he emitted was far more intimidating than Rune’s. I wasn't shocked- Kaleb tutored him. “Caution your friend or I will be forced to take action,” “Time for some fun,” Rune muttered beside his brother who pulled out his dagger with a satisfactory smirk. The air was thick with bloodlust, low menacing growls shot from every angle. “You might want to rethink, Silver,” Kaleb urged as he gestured to his mercenaries to stand down. “Then stop this nonsense!” I blurted. “You are killing Echo. Everyone in here doesn't care about the pack, they just care about themselves,” “It's a blood moon, tensions are high. We don't need this right now,” “You know what?” Jericho uttered as he g

Silver's POV The Savagers left but we knew better, we knew they were going to come back and all of us were going to be their target. The Underground Business world went silent the past week in Echo. Justin's death was nicknamed the ‘The Bloody Moon’ by the media. Some call out Raid as a butcher, some nicknamed him Khang's true nemesis. All these press- he was watching it and we knew he wasn't pleased. Sooner than later, he will strike again but Khang wasn't the only piece we were struggling to fit in. The man in the cloak. His partner was still unconscious, treated by the same shady doctor that helped Triscade. Me? I was locked in at work. My workers had returned but all division leaders were fired and replaced. Production was ongoing, market strategies were being formulated but were the people of the world going to work with us? After the stunt we killed, we were uncertain. “We can't do business with Scurrin City, their pack country will break our resource to meet their

Jericho's POV I had to leave late, made sure a ride was waiting for Silver because I took hers. I drove through Echo’s border, heading for Eclipse. It was going to be a long journey, so I stopped for gas. I paid the attendant as I went into the supermarket to grab an energy drink. I could feel the stress getting to me, weeks of planning and constructing without rest. But one thing still terrified me, Khang. The fact that he could eliminate any one of us at any time was something I dreaded the most. “You are worthless,” Silver's father's words rang through my mind. My mind flashed back to my training when I was fourteen. He was teaching me a maneuver but no matter how many times I did it, I could never nail the ending. One time when I slipped and fell just at the end, hitting my face against the pavement. My lips split upon impact, filling my mouth with blood. “I doubt if you are even a Salvation,” he grabbed a fist full of my hair, raising my head to meet his ferocio

Silver's POV “This is my father's journal,” he pulled out an old book from underneath the round table. We were all seated, everyone of us except Rory. But the look she had when he brought out the book; I was sure it was really important to them. “The bastard of a father was a traveler, Voyager I fact. Went around the world, scavenging for what he never found,” I kept silent because I knew a lot about Rune's father. It was actually what made us bond in college, our workaholic dads fixated on everything materialistic. “What do you want with it?” Macai asked Jane who was relenting to share the details. “Well, I might just burn the damn thing if I don't get answers,” “Kaleb!” She blurted swiftly. “Kaleb asked me to proclaim it by any means necessary,” “I knew you were here because of him,” Jericho muttered, shooting her a weird gaze that I guessed only both of them understood. “What about you Rory? Why does your man want it or does he just want it?” “I don't ask q

Silver’s POVAt least this time, I didn’t wake up in a hospital. I was on a couch with an IV stuck into my vein.“What…” I tried to sit up, but a firm hand held me down.“Don’t,” Triscade’s voice came from behind me.“Don’t torture yourself further. You need to rest.”“What’s going on?” Panic crept in as the memories rushed back, fear following close behind.“Where’s Jericho?”“He was stabbed twice, but he’ll live,” he answered softly. “Raid lost a lot of blood and was infected with a paralytic—same one that was in all your systems.”“Macai?” My eyes welled up the moment I saw his expression.“Did he make it?”I already knew the answer, but I needed to hear it. I was hoping for a miracle because the reality was too difficult to accept. “He’s dead,” he said.“His brother, Rune, almost broke the sacred law. Thankfully, that drew the Savagers who were tracking Raid. They saved you—all of you.”“Why?”“They said Khang still has use for you.”The room felt eerie. I didn’t recognize where
