《The mute Alpha king’s chosen mate》全部章節：第 131 章 - 第 140 章

ALICE POV:"We don't need to find out now," Diamond says, holding me against him. His hand is on my belly as though checking for something, and I can't blame him for this gesture. The things that have happened, how we almost lost our baby... those things were not long ago. "You can stop now. We can just call it a night for now and come back to this in the morning.""I agree," Aristea says. "The important thing is you can do it. You can read his mind. We don't need to get to the bottom of the problem right now."I know that they are right. I know that I should probably not push myself too far. I mean, it's not like Larkin has any place to go. He will still be here at night when I come back for him, and I can still do what I was meant to do in the first place. But a part of me feels like this is the only chance I would ever get.However, before I can say anything, Diamond is already steering me away from Larkin, who keeps crying out and saying that he shouldn't have done it.The anguish

DIAMOND POV:"Are you certain that the Moonlight Grove Pack is truly abandoned?" Aristea asks as Carlos and I load up the horses with some supplies. We are about to leave with Alice already in the saddle, and Aristea is helping her stock up on some potions that would help her and our baby."I am completely certain," I assure her. "We have escaped from that place unscathed after I slayed the monster. We are more prepared this time. We will be with people who are completely worthy of trust.""That's very true," she agrees, then to my surprise, she gets on the other horse with complete ease. Even Carlos stares at her in surprise. However, it's not her agility I am feeling this about. It's the fact that she volunteered to come."Um, Aristea," I start to say, but she raises a hand to cut me off."I know what you are going to say," she says coldly. "I am old and I shouldn't come. You might think I'm a liability, boy, but I am more than capable of protecting myself and any of you if need be.

DIAMOND POV:When I leaped to attack Drake, I fully expected to have the upper hand. Even though it didn't have any honor in it, I decided to go at him from behind while he was too busy trying to take the family tree painting from Carlos.Fuck it, I thought. It wasn't like honor was very much valued in our dynamic. All I know is that right now, I'm full of rage and I want to take him down. But this is exactly my mistake.My vision is so bright with anger that I'm fighting erratically. Drake faces me at the last second while Carlos makes a break for the hallway where the ladies disappeared, and I almost don't see him brandishing a small blade from his sleeve. He twists the small knife in his hand and makes a wild stab at my stomach.I feel the tip of his blade grazing my side. Even though he looks practically insane, he didn't lose his speed one bit. He advances towards me in great leaps, taking wild stabs at every opening he can find. I parry his blows with the same agility, putting m

ALICE POV:I'm dreaming. I must be, right?Because the moment I shifted into my wolf form and saved everyone from the fire, I felt like I was forced out of my body. Suddenly, I'm nothing but a floating ghost of consciousness, watching my own wolf form saving everyone from the fire. I see my wolf giving way to my human form. I see Diamond capturing me in his arms, holding me like it was the last time… I couldn't have died from that stunt, right?"Diamond," I try to say, but no sound comes out of my mouth. "Diamond, I am right here-""You are, but at the same time, you're not."The female voice makes me turn around. There I find, standing at the edge of the palace where she should have been burned to a crisp, is a woman with pure white skin, white hair, and the palest blue eyes I have ever seen. Her palette is so light that it feels like she's glowing. A soft muted glow, like the moon.That's when it clicks to me.I make a move to bow down but my shadowy form doesn't allow me.The Moon

ALICE POV:The last lines of the letter seem to have manifested in front of us, moving like a gigantic red flag that none of us could ignore. I could almost swear that the words themselves peeled away from the paper and flashed before our eyes like the glare of a lighthouse calling us home.For a whole moment, none of us speaks. I don't think any of us are able to speak after that revelation. Diamond, Carlos, and I sit back down on the couch, staring into the distance while Aristea slinks back against her chair like she wants it to swallow her whole.The silence creeps all around us. How long we stay there unmoving and completely silent, I don't know. But by the time I decide to move, it feels like my joints are no longer cooperating. Perhaps it's still just the shock lingering in my bones. Because how can you even recover from something like that?But then again, it all makes sense. Now that that piece of information is out there, I finally understand so many things."Tristan is ha
