บททั้งหมดของ The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Nadia's POVJessica was helping me get ready for the big dinner. She brushed my hair and helped me into a beautiful green dress. I felt nervous about tonight. I had to find the traitor.There was a knock at the door. Jessica opened it. Neal stood there. He looked handsome in his clothes, but his eyes were sad."Can I speak with Valerie?" he asked.Jessica looked at me. I nodded. "I'll wait outside," she said, and left us alone.Neal closed the door. He came closer to me. "Valerie," he said, his voice low. "Why are you doing things with my brother that you can't involve me in?" He looked hurt. "I'm your mate. You should trust me."I looked down at my hands. I couldn't tell him about the deal. Noah was like a bone stuck in my throat. This was the only way to make him stop looking down on me. It was the only way to get what I wanted.I shook my head. I couldn't explain."Don't bother," Neal said, his voice getting angry. "I'm just going to beat the words out of Noah's mouth."The door op

Nadia's POVI walked to the gardens with a heavy heart. The sun was bright, but I felt cold inside. Jessica had helped me into a simple blue dress. "Be careful, Miss," she had whispered. "Delta Sarah is beautiful like a rose, but she has thorns. She knows how to use her beauty to get what she wants."Now I saw Sarah waiting for me near the fountain. She looked different from when she was in her formal wear because now she wore a red dress that hugged her curves. Her long black hair shone in the sun. She was beautiful, I had to admit. About the same age as Noah and Neal."Luna Valerie," she said with a bright smile that didn't reach her cold eyes. "Thank you for coming. I know you didn't have to accept my apology."I nodded and gave her a small smile back."I want to say I'm truly sorry," Sarah said, her voice sweet like honey. She picked a red rose from a nearby bush. "I was wrong to speak to you that way at the dinner. I was just... worried."I looked at her, curious. I wrote on my n

Nadia's POVNoah walked so fast through the dark castle that I nearly tripped trying to keep up. He didn't speak, didn't look back. My heart hammered against my ribs. Was this it? Did he see us? Was he angry about me and Neal? Was he taking me somewhere to punish me?We slipped out through a hidden door I never knew existed. The cold night air bit at my skin. The forest ahead was a wall of black shadows."Where are we going?" I scribbled on my notepad, my hands shaking."Don't you want to know about my other business, the one you heard the last time about Lucien was true but this one I'm about to show you, no one in the pack knows about it.” he said, his voice flat. "So now you will seeWe pushed deeper into the woods. Branches clawed at my clothes. Every shadow looked like a monster. My back began to burn with fear. I was sure now, he meant to kill me where no one would find me.Finally, we stopped in a small path. Moonlight entered through the trees. We were completely alone.Noah t

Nadia's POVThe pulling from my locket would not stop. It felt like a string was tied to my chest, pulling me forward. I had to follow it. I walked through the castle halls, my heart beating fast. If anyone saw me, I would say I was exploring. Being a spy gave me a good excuse to wander around.The halls got older and dustier the farther I went. Spider webs touched my face like ghost fingers. The air smelled like old wood and wet stone. I saw mouse droppings on the floor. No one had been here for a long time.Then I saw it. The chapel from my vision.It was just like in my dream. Big and dark. Broken windows let in the cold night air. Parts of the roof had fallen in. Moonlight came through the holes, making pools of silver light on the dusty floor.My hands were shaking as I stepped inside. My feet kicked up clouds of dust that danced in the moonlight. The locket burned against my skin now, pulling me toward one particular wall.Part of the wall had crumbled away. Behind it, I saw a s

Nadia's POVThe pack healer looked at my hand with worried eyes. She put another ointment on the burn. It felt cool for a moment, but the pain came back quickly."I don't understand," the healer said. "This should have healed hours ago. A wolf's body always heals fast. But this burn... it stays the same."I sat on the clean white bed in the infirmary. Noah stood in the corner watching. His arms were crossed over his chest. His face showed nothing.Neal stood near the door. He looked from my hand to Noah's face. His eyes were angry."Try another ointment," Noah said. His voice angry."I have tried three different ones," the healer said. "This is not a normal burn. This is... something else. Maybe magic. Dark magic."Noah's eyes moved to my face. "Magic," he said slowly. "What kind of magic?""I don't know," the healer said. "But this wound will not heal with normal medicine. The fire that caused this was not a normal fire."The healer wrapped my hand in a clean white cloth. "Keep it cl
