《The mute Alpha king’s chosen mate》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

DIAMOND POV:I drop the knife, satisfied that I don't even need to say anything for the guard to give me the information I need.Normally, I wouldn't like what's going on here. It's obvious that Tristan has taken liberties and employed his usual processes on these guards without my permission and now they are bleeding, shaking, and afraid. I should be furious with him, but I'm not. All I feel is this deep sense of emptiness, even as the information slips out of the guard's mouth. And as soon as he started, he couldn't stop."He told us he would give us money from his very own safe if we set him free," he says, shaking against his restraints. “I... My family needs it badly. I have a sick daughter. My wife left me years ago and ran off into someplace with someone else. I'm all they have now. The only reason I let him gois because I needed it, and I thought he would see through his promise..."He trails off, sobbing. Tristan looks at me as though asking permission to hurt them still an

ALICE POV:Time is playing with us right now, and I can feel it. It's going way too fast when I look at the blood flowing out of Diamond’s puncture wound, but it's going too slow when I try to move.It almost feels surreal. Everything about it doesn't feel real. I just hear the claw of the beast exiting Diamond’s body with a wet squelch, and he falls to his knees right in front of me. I catch him, but my hands are so numb that it's almost like catching air. There seems to be blood everywhere as I take Diamond in my arms. It's soaking through his torn shirt, seeping into the rocks below us. It's on my hands, on my legs as I lay him on my lap.The monster goes right in for another stab, and this time it's Carlos who gets in the way, kicking its arm and going in with a punch. He shifts into his wolf form, and even though he looks like a pup next to the beast, he attacks, trying to distract it away from us.I look down at Diamond, cradling his face. “Diamond, just hold on, okay? We will

DIAMOND POV:Alice tilts her head, looking at me in confusion. "No one else was there. It was just the two of us."'I know, but there was a different healer working for us back then, and I don't think my father hid anything from her,' I say, trying to think about that night. However, the harder I think, the worse I feel. It's almost as though the memories don't even want to be unearthed.For a moment I wonder if remembering would truly do us good if it hurts this bad with just trying, but it has to be worth it. It has to be something truly important if I keep coming back to it like this. It has to be something connected to everything that happened.However, Alice seems to notice that I'mstruggling, so she puts her hand on my cheek and makes me turn to her. "You don't need to tell me if you can't remember-"'No, I do know the healer,' I interject, shaking my head. 'It's Drake’s estranged aunt. Her name is Aristea. She worked for the royal family for centuries but she moved out when Dr

ALICE POV:My throat closes up as mixed emotions start to swirl in my chest. I try to steady myself by pulling my shirt over my belly, but my hands are frozen. They seem to have formed a consciousness of their own and now they're refusing to obey me. I just want to stop looking at myself.I don't like the thoughts in my mind. Particularly that one thought. I don't like that it came up. I don't like that it seemed to have emerged from the back of my mind as opposed to nowhere. And I especially don't like that it could be true. But then again, what evidence do I have? I can't just go off the single fact that the existence of the child coincided with my loss of powers. This could very well be just a figment of my imagination, just a by-product of exhaustion and stress and perhaps even the hormones raging through my body. It can't be real. This sweet, innocent being growing inside of me, created out of love, can't possibly be causing me any harm. Just to get it out of my system and prove

DIAMOND POV:When I come back, I promise myself. When I come back, I will offer this ring to Alice. It would be my reward to myself, in a way. Because I doubt that I would have the strength to leave for another mission if Alice said yes and I knew that she would be my wife.With that in mind, I pocket the velvet box and head back to our room. Thankfully, she's still fast asleep, so I just cuddle next to her and close my eyes, reverting back to a dreamless, silent sleep that stretches all the way to daybreak.The muted blue light of the early morning coming from the windows is what pulls me back from sleep. I wake up, kiss Alice who's still sleeping, then take a shower and get dressed. Drake has provided a gear that he promises would withstand the conditions of the underground, a gray jumpsuit. I just about finished zipping myself in it when I notice that Alice is already awake, sitting up and watching me.She smiles when I turn, but I can still see the worry in her eyes. "Good morning
