All Chapters of Broken: Claiming her place: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ariana’s POVI stretched out my arms on the bed as my eyes flung open, the room was freezing cold and the lights were even dim but I could see every corner of the room. I looked around and Liam was still laid on his ground, sleeping. Then, I looked over at Fernando’s spot, he wasn’t there.I paused for a second, had he not come back the night before?I refused to believe that he had shied away from responsibility and I just shut my eyes again. However, a lingering scent kept hovering around my nostrils. It was a familiar woody scent. Then, my eyes opened again. This time, with realization. It was Victoire’s scent.Had she come to my quarters?Was Fernando out with her?No?The door opened gently with a slight force and Fernando slipped in through the door, his face filled with an empty space and sweat. He looked exhausted as though he had fought the whole night.“Where were you?” I asked, not to exact dominance.He halted in his steps and slowly turned in my direction before forcin

Ariana’s POVI couldn’t believe the same woman who my father married was responsible for his death.Victoire didn’t have a single remorse on her face, her pride was still over the top. The experience I always had with her wasn't so sweet but I always overlooked it. Her presence as a mother figure made me feel valuable.My heart ached with a lot of unsaid words.How could she?“What’s this about, Ariana?” Elder Richter, the head of the council asked, his eyes darting between myself and Liam. “How could you lock us all in?”“No worries, I would ensure that it is opened after I’m done revealing all that needs to be. You said you needed proof that I didn’t kill my father right?” I asked, confident even more than ever.I took several steps closer to Elena and her eyes darted away from mine, nervously as her hands shook.“Pathetic,” I hissed under my breath.She had obviously tried to distract the pack by faking her own injury but let’s see what she can do now.“You… you… what did you just

Ariana’s POVMy eyes followed Fernando with each step he took towards me, suddenly, I didn’t feel Liam hover around me anymore.I blinked my eyes within seconds and when I opened them again, Liam had bridged the gap between Fernando and I. “Good to see you back,” Liam said, “thank you,” he shook his hand.Fernando nodded his head, directing his attention to me, “Are you good?”I shook my head, and picked up the squeezed paper again and handed it over to him.He didn’t seem surprised, his eyes darting around on the paper as he checked the entire content.“How did you get this?” He asked, his tone sharp, glancing up at me briefly before his eyes landed back on the crumpled paper in his hand.“Victoire left it there,” I said, staring at the spot she had stayed before she left. “This is not her handwriting,” he said, his words piquing more curiosity within me, he reached into his pocket and brought out a paper to compare with it, “someone else is behind all these…”“Someone? Who would w

Ariana’s POVMy bike came to an abrupt halt when I saw bikers fleeing from a nearby hut, my bikers had chased after them and seeing how it was a distraction. “Let’s go,” I instructed the bikers who were left with me and I was about to turn around to leave.“Ari…” Liam called, but paused, his eyes filled with horror as he stared in a direction without uttering any more words.“What..” I asked, then followed his eyes and my eyes landed on two figures on the ground.Then, I saw the silver eyes, it was more glaring due to its contrast with the dark.My mother?She was the only one who ever had silver eyes, I strained my eyes trying to see who it truly was. Then, I turned my headlight back on and in the same direction.My heart stopped.I had thought my mother was dead for the longest and there she was, on the ground holding unto someone…Fernando?The sight that was before me carried too much weight for my heart to withhold. Fernando in the pool of his own blood, being held by my long lo

Ariana’s POVRichter’s body had fallen down flat and the bikers cheered, loudly. For the longest, I hadn’t known how much of a pest he was. I stared at my hands, the pistol I had used fell from my hand, not out of fear but of guilt. I didn’t want to kill him.My trembling hands were beginning to extend to my entire body so I had to clench my fists together to steady them. “Get your act together, don’t beat yourself up for it because you did what needed to be done for your pack,” Liam whispered to me. I could barely even focus on Doc. Ramirez that had been standing before me.I looked at him, his eyes were filled with worry and encouragement, I smiled briefly at him and looked back at Doc. Ramirez.Doc. Ramirez pulled me to the side.Fernando needed blood and the urgency made my skin feel heavy.“What do we need to do about it?” I demanded, “Any nearby blood banks where we can get it?” Doc. Ramirez paused for a moment, looked up in the sky with a long, deliberate sigh, “It’s unique,
