All Chapters of Abandoned by All, Until the Mad Alpha Claimed Me: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

OpheliaA wave of courage hit me as I coughed softly into my clenched fists. Cedric’s eyes didn’t leave mine the whole time, as he awaited my response.“I want to know if we’re alike Cedric..” I blurted. He smiled and folded his arms firmly over his chest.“If the totem on your back isn’t enough proof, then I don’t know what else is..” he shot back, like he had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell me this.My lips parted and cold air escaped my mouth, something rose up to my throat. “How did you know there was a mark on my back?” I asked.“I just figured. A mark like that only appears on the chest and on the back, it’s obviously not on your chest because I would have noticed it yesterday in that lovely evening dress of yours… so I just figured it was on your back.” His explanation only made my curiosity spike.My eyes lowered as my heart pounded heavily in my ears. Did my father know all of this before now? Anger clouded my brain as I tightened my fists until my knuckles t

OpheliaI took a sip of the tea, the tightness in my chest eased as the warmth spread through my body. It almost felt as though she knew my body needed to calm down before she delved into whatever it was I came for.“Feeling better?” Sura asked, cutting me a glance.“Yes… thank you.” I sighed, lowering the teacup from my lips.“Good. Ophelia, there are things that shouldn’t be kept hidden from you for much longer.” She started, folding her hands neatly over her chest.I leaned forward, putting the cup back down on the stool between us. “Then what are you waiting for? Start talking?” I blurted impatiently.Her eyes lingered on my face, searching for something I didn’t know. She paused and looked out the window, like she was summoning the help of the ancestors before the words could leave her mouth.“You… are not like the other werewolves.” Sura said.I sighed and fell back on the chair, a humorous smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I crossed my hands in front of me. “Tell me som

OpheliaWarm tears streamed down my face as I clenched my chest. My lips parted and I let out a gut wrenching shrill, loud enough to cause the entire neighborhood to rattle.“All my life….” I growled, sniffling and gasping for air at the same time, “I have always believed that I was useless. My father made it crystal clear to me that I was worth nothing. That I was a dent on the face of the earth.I believed him, because why not. He’s my father after all. Then I got married off to Alric and I had every cause to believe even more, that I was indeed a useless dent!My father has been the one tying me down! All these years, my father has been the reason I have no abilities?” My voice broke and I gritted my teeth.“And you knew this all along?” I asked and Sura nodded. Rage doubled inside of me. I was dying in the dark silence of ignorance and she knew all of this but didn’t tell me?“You allowed me to wallow in ignorance, Sura….. why?” I broke down and she lowered her head.“My own fathe

OpheliaThe morning sun hit my face and I slowly stirred on the mattress, pulling the sheets over my head as I tried to continue my sleep.But a throbbing headache jolted me up instantly. I slowly sat up on the bed, holding my head in my hands as I winced in pain.“Ughh..” I grunted in frustration, rubbing my forehead with my fingers in a bid to reduce the pressure I felt in my head. But that was of no use at all because the pounding only grew worse.It just felt like a thousand soldiers were galloping around in my head. My stomach twisted, my entire body went limp.“What have I done to myself..” I whispered under my breath, the smell of that strong rum filling the air once again. I managed to scan the room in search of any sign of Alric.But the silence greeted me and I knew he had gone for one of his council meetings. How could he leave me in this state? What even transpired last night?The more I tried to remember everything, the more my head ached and I couldn’t continue. I even t

OpheliaThe scent of soap clung faintly to my body as I stepped out of the washroom, wrapping my body inside my robe. Laura was still busy in the library and I insisted on dressing myself so I rummaged through my wardrobe until I settled for a simple silk dress.I tried so hard not to think about everything that has been happening so far, so I picked up my fan and left the room.The palace bustled with activities. Servants went up and down the halls, chatting and giggling in low tones. I slipped past all of them and headed to the library.Laura was there already and I knew exactly where to find her. So I strolled over to the fashion aisle and saw her crouched on a table, her face buried deep in the magazine.“Good morning Laura..” I muttered and she jerked, flinging her head around as shock etched on her face.“Oh good heavens…” she gasped, clutching her chest tightly. “You frightened the devil out of me, my lady..”I scoffed and pulled out a seat beside her. “Well, you’re welcome.” I
