Right Love, Wrong Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 165

VioletMy hands were shaking as I moved to the adjoining bathroom, looking for anything that might help. It broke my heart to see him like this, bloodied and beaten just because of me.Alpha Alaric’s words still rang in my head of how Elijah had killed his brother. Could he have really odne that?He loved Cassie a lot and protected her more than his own self. How could he have taken the life of another sibling?But then Elijah had often called himself a monster and that he had done some irredeemable things.But right now as I stared at his mangled back, I could not bring myself to think of anything else.I had no doubts Kelly was telling the truth about Elijah’s father not wanting a doctor to tend to his wounds.I had to clean the wounds to the best of my ability.Thankfully, I found a first aid kit tucked under the sink not long after. It was a forgotten old box but consisted of basic supplies such as bandages, and some antiseptic. Nothing seemed adequate for the severity of his inju

VioletShe began applying it to Elijah's back, her touch gentle in a way that seemed at odds with her usual cold demeanor. Her fingers traced the damaged tattoos, the ruined skin, with something that looked almost like tenderness.I couldn't help but stare at her. This woman who'd threatened me, who'd ordered me to break her son's heart, who'd stood by while her husband beat Elijah bloody…she was shaking while treating his wounds.

I'd completely forgotten about it. Everything that had happened last night, especially seeing Elijah covered in blood had driven all thoughts of the actual wedding from my mind."I need to stay with him," I said, moving closer to the bed. "Until he wakes up. I need to make sure he's okay.""No," Lady Aurelia said firmly, not looking up from her examination of Elijah's wounds. "You need to go get ready. Hair and makeup start in two hours. The ceremony is at four o'clock. As a maid of honor, your presence is required.""But…""I will stay with him," Lady Aurelia interrupted. "I'll make sure the healer treats him properly. You have other obligations to fulfill."The way she said it made it clear this wasn't a suggestion but an order. I thought about our conversation last night while she'd looked at him with such tenderness while telling me love wasn't enough in this place."You'll take care of him?" I asked, hating how small my voice sounded.Lady Aurelia finally looked up at me, and he
