All Chapters of The Beast's Ugly Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I even thought about spending some time in the library before going to bed, but I was so tired that my eyes felt like they were about to close on their own. I don't think I realized how many things I had done that day until the kitchen was completely clean and the food was with Noah in his office.Goddess, it was always a pleasure to stretch out and relax on that soft bed, which seemed to embrace me every time I lay down.And, as I drifted off to sleep easily, I found myself wishing, for the first time in my life, that one of those dreams would visit me. I could still think that nothing good would come of them, but at the same time I trusted Noah to be able to use them to his advantage… Somehow.However, I never imagined that my wish would be fulfilled in that way.

“What the fuck!” Atticus gasped, his tone filled with shock, but I was faster than either of them.However, this did not prevent Holly's body from hitting the floor, causing a heavy noise that seemed to make something inside my chest fall out along with her.“Shit!” Even without being able to see her, that strong smell of blood guided me to where Holly was, and I was able to pick up her limp, unconscious body from the floor “What happened to her?” That fucking feeling of despair grew inside me when I felt that she seemed to be covered in something liquid and warm, which I knew very well what it was “What happened to her!” I yelled “Speak, damn it!”“She drank what was in Gerald’s bottle and…” Elliott’s voice approached “

I was still finishing my tea when the bedroom door was slammed shut with a punch, making me gag.Alarmed, I looked up to find Noah standing in the doorway, and the expression on his face made me wonder if Elliott was mistaken in saying he wasn't angry with me. Because that certainly wasn't what that frown made it seem.“Uh… Hi.” I tried to sound casual and even friendly, but all I managed was for him to start approaching my bed with that intense look “I… I’m so sorry for what happened with Gerald…” I shrank into the sheets, starting to panic “I swear I had no idea about the things he did. I just had a dream and had to act, I swear…”I swallowed my words as he dropped to his knees right beside me, my breath catching in my throat as I waited to see

“You…” Holly’s voice trembled “You think the Alpha’s mate could…?”“Don’t say that out loud!” Louis hissed “If anyone hears us theorizing something like that, Alpha Kaia could even kick us out of the pack. Never make any kind of accusation against her mate or the Second Prince, understand? It’s ridiculous to think something like that anyway. They are the Alpha’s family, by the Glory of the Goddess! There may be differences, but… They wouldn’t do something like that. The Nightmoor's are probably responsible. They know General Noah is their greatest opponent. Their biggest plans probably involve killing him so they can invade our territory.”“I see…” Holly murmured, and I could hear the murmur of pure terror in her voice “But even so&h

“Uh… I…” my gaze instinctively sought Noah’s, since I had absolutely no idea what to do “Thank you, my Alpha, but I don’t think I’m worthy of…”“Oh, our daughter is so humble. We’ve raised her so well…” my mother was suddenly there again, almost placing herself between me and Alpha Kaia “She won’t say anything because she doesn’t want to seem greedy, my Alpha. But, if you really want to know, I’m sure Holly would love to use that wish to improve our family home. The summers have been merciless, and the winters even worse. In fact, Holly would certainly want to…”"Was it you who drank a near-lethal poison and saved the pack from the influence of a traitor?" Noah growled, not only interrupting her but making my mother flinch.
