Semua Bab The Alpha's Ruined Bride: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Ronan.Kessa had really accomplished what she wanted. It was why they said to never underestimate a woman who had been hurt. I wondered if the person I had sent that flash drive to as a gift had received it, and if it was what had helped Kessa out.Don't get me wrong. I didn't send it out to help Kessa. I sent it to help myself. It was a step closer to finding out the truth, if she was Kessa or Aurora."I think we should move on to something else." My wolf suggested, but it was more like he was trying to hide something away from me.I didn't push it away. Instead, I grasped it. "Trust me, I wished I was hiding something, but it is becoming too much. Everything is becoming Kessa or Aurora when it could be better. For starters, deal with Naledi." He added.He was right. For the past few days, all I had been talking about and pressing on was how I was going to prove that Kessa was Aurora. I was dragging myself back, making it look like I was pathetic and worn out over every single piece

Kessa.I smiled, staring at the letter that Alpha Ronan had sent to me. It had arrived late in the night, with the seal intact, and it made me wonder if he had my contact or if he had always just been old school about these things."That man is trapped in the old days," my wolf joked, and we both laughed.My body was growing warm with something I didn't want to name as I broke open the seal. Out of every man I had ever met or spoken to in my life, he was the only one who could have killed me in an instant if he had wanted to and yet he had chosen not to. He had put his trust in me instead.He still believed I was his ex-mate, Aurora, yet he hadn't done anything about it. Mia had briefed me on what had happened to him in the past, and it had helped me understand why he was so relentlessly driven to find her. But if you asked me honestly, I would tell you he was a man who didn't fully know what he wanted. His heart was pulling him in two directions at once, one moment he wanted to find

Naledi.Everything seemed to be falling apart, even though I had taken time to plan it. It was as if the Goddess was watching my hard work and had decided that it wasn't worth it.Kessa was almost like Aurora. She was Aurora, and I could prove it. The same faint scent she carried around was the same as Aurora's. They were so much alike, yet different in ways I hadn't been able to put my finger on yet. "All of this, I am doing it for Alpha Ronan," I reminded myself.I was doing it because I loved him. We should have been together even when Aurora was around, but she had stood between us and taken him away from me. So now it was going to be up to me to make sure that no one took him away from me again. Not Aurora. Not whatever version of her was currently walking around calling herself Kessa Winslow."I believe, Miss Naledi, this is getting dangerous." I looked up at the voice, wondering what could possibly be so dangerous about fighting for what you loved.I kissed my teeth loudly. "Yo

Ronan.Beta Sage did his best to avoid eye contact with me, because this was the second time he had messed up in the space of a month. "You let her go?" I asked again, just to be sure that maybe I hadn't heard him wrongly or had misunderstood what he said.He nodded his head gently.I clenched my teeth.Naledi had never been up to any good. I mean, she had always presented herself as a decent enough person on the surface, but there had always been this mischievousness in her that never let go. She always had to get what she set her mind on, even if it meant going against everyone and everything around her. And now she had gone to Silverpine. To Kessa.Without my knowledge. Without my permission. Without a single word.I grabbed the stick ornament that had been hanging on the wall, pulling it open until it stretched to its full length. With a swing, I brought it down hard, and it connected with Beta Sage's side, sending him stumbling sideways before he dropped to one knee on the floor.

Ronan."To what do I owe this meeting from you?" I asked Alpha James. He looked lost but also desperate. "For as long as I can remember, you hated me." I reminded him.He hated me because I had taken away what he wanted, the last shred of humanity he had been left with. It was why I had been so thrown when I found out that Kessa was his daughter, because I had known this man since my father was the Alpha, orI trailed off.The smile dropped from my face as I stared at Alpha James, who held a carefully blank expression across from me. Something was moving at the back of my mind, slow and deliberate, like a shape forming in fog."Get straight into why you are here," I ordered, my voice coming out lower than I intended.I didn't fully understand why I had shifted,why my tone had changed, why my expression had closed off the way it had. But there was a thread pulling at the edge of my thoughts now, and I couldn't shake it. There was a chance, a real, growing chance, that I had been sitti
