Alle Kapitel von VENGEFUL TIES: Bonds formed from Revenge : Kapitel 91 – Kapitel 98

LUCIAN’S POVI sat outside the emergency room as the doctor ran in and out, his face tight with urgency. I didn’t know what to think anymore, my mind was clouded, drowning and barely functioning.I couldn’t even cry now. I had already used up every tear I had. All I could do was sit there and pray to the Moon Goddess that my mate and our pup came out alive.Footsteps echoed down the hall. King Aldric, his wife, and Talia arrived, their expressions twisted with shock and confusion. Xavier immediately got up to speak with them because I wasn’t in any state to talk. I couldn’t even lift my head.King Aldric turned sharply to Talia. “How did this happen? Weren't you with her the whole time?”“I don’t know. I stepped out for a bit to get us a drink and told her to wait for me,” Her voice trembled as she spoke. “It was when I got a call from Xavier that I went back to look for her. She was not in the shop I had told her to wait for me, then I walked around to find her and that was when ….”

LUCIAN’S POV I pressed my back against the cold hospital wall, arms crossed so tightly over my chest that my knuckles ached. Xavier stood beside me, silent and still as a statue, but I could feel his occasional glances. Across the room, Darcy sat on the edge of Selena’s bed, holding her sister’s hand like she was afraid Selena would slip away again. Also because she was the only one Selena recognised.The doctor stood on the other side, a clipboard in his hand, asking questions in that calm, clinical voice that made me want to scream.“What is your full name?”“Selena Ravenwood.”Her voice was weak but steady. That was good.“Do you know where you are?”She hesitated. “A hospital. But how did i get here?”“Selena, what is the last thing you remember before waking up here?”She was quiet for a long moment. Darcy squeezed her hand. I held my breath.“I was…” Selena’s brow furrowed, her eyes distant. “I was getting ready for a date with Caius. I remember leaving my house, that's it. Di

LUCIAN'S POVI sat outside in the hallway when Darcy came out and said Selena was asleep due to the medication she took. I nodded without saying a word.“What are you going to do now?” she asked with her arms folded, and I knew she was asking about the incident.She believed it was Talia's doing, and i also believed the same. King Aldric won't admit it without any evidence he would surely try to cover up for her if there's evidence proving it was Talia's doing.“I have to go to the palace,” I stood up, and Xavier followed suit. “There are guards around the hospital to look after you and Selena. Make sure you call me immediately if anything happens.”She nodded, and I walked toward the exit with Xavier beside me.The drive back to the palace was quiet. Xavier stared out the window, and I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles ached. Neither of us spoke. There was nothing left to say that wouldn't end in a fight.When we arrived, the palace was oddly quiet. I strode through the

DARCY'S POVSelena sat propped against her pillows, a tray of breakfast balanced on her lap, pushing scrambled eggs around with her fork like they personally offended her.I sat in the chair beside her, close enough to help if she needed it, far enough to give her space. The doctor had just left after his morning rounds, and his words still echoed in my head."She's healing well. I'm discharging her in three days."I was happy for the good news except for what he'd said right after, pulling me into the hallway while Selena pretended not to notice."Miss Darcy, we need to discuss her pregnancy. We can't hide it forever. It's her body. She'll start showing signs soon, fatigue, nausea, physical changes. You need to break it to her without shocking her."I nodded, promised I'd figure something out, and walked back into the room with a smile I didn't feel.Now I watched my sister eat, her brow furrowed in concentration like each bite required effort.How was I supposed to tell her that she
