She was staring at Marianne with a kind of eyes that seemed as if only the older lady could read." I did have a fall, Alpha." Marianne spoke up and Estelle didn't know if it was only her that saw how Kaileyn heaved a sigh of relief. All this couldn't have been Kaileyn's plan, right? Could Kaileyn have wanted to hurt her to the extent that she had to hurt herself too? She had to give herself so much injuries and scars all over her body just because of a plan against her? It couldn't be as she was thinking, could it?" I didn't want anyone to know about it but Kaileyn kind of figured it out. My legs were starting to hurt that day and I also couldn't find them too. She's not lying." Marianne concurred and Lord Chels continued." According to Larry Mirko, the blacksmith who had firstly staged the attacked on Lady Estelle, he was allegedly told to do as he did." Lord Chels read and Estelle's eyes dimmed confusingly." Including disrespecting me and threatening to give her a more quic
No one knew what happened except Kaileyn herself who might have seen who attacked her and say who the person was but she was seriously injured and had been unconscious since in the morning when she was attacked.She got a cracked head, a broken nose, and a broken limb from what happened to her. She had injuries before the incident so a new, cruel attack as the one that just happened had reopened the old wounds. Large, scary looking handprints were also around her fair neck, giving them a very despicable look. Her father, Lord Diego, kept ranting words that weren't very pleasant to the ears about how a bad omen had came into the pack." They found a bloodstain on the terrace. It looked like it was rubbed there by someone because of the handprints that was seen on it." Neil reported, he looked weary." Merlin should be able to find out the owner behind the handprints, you didn't call him?" The Alpha asked with a stoic face too. He had just returned from Kaileyn's ward and he wasn't l
" What is wrong with you?" River asked, seeing the pained look on Jesse's face. He had been in the dungeon for quite a while now, cajoling Jesse but just as Neil said, the man wasn't saying anything and the Alpha could see the clear, maddening fear all over the doctor." We checked all over for you at your home to no avail but you're saying you were at your house all along? Talk to me!" The Alpha yelled, he was starting to get mad already. What exactly was all these nonsense going on about?Jesse paused for a moment. He was going to die anyways. With a sigh, the next thing the man did was using his fingers to write something on the air. When he saw the Alpha wasn't getting what he was doing, he started making signs on the air too." You don't want to speak? Then just link me and tell me what's wrong." The Alpha suggested but Jesse shook his head negatively. He wasn't and wouldn't be able to.Then in the next minute, he pointed at nothing in particular then made a killing sign past
He smiled, hearing her soft snores and seeing how peaceful her face was as she slept soundly. He gently took her head to his chest as he caressed her hair. All the things that had been happening thorough the days hadn't really made him concentrate on her and he didn't like it at all. She was supposed to feel like she was atop of the whole world but as usual, everything was always trying to be against him.Jesse's words recalled in his ears again. They needed his Estelle's blood? For what exactly? Do they really think he was just going to open his eyes and watch them harm her? He stared down at the sleeping beauty in his hands again then placed a lingering kiss on her forehead with a smile on his face. A little birdie became his everything and all he could think of in just a short while and he was very glad about it. He had always been praying to meet her and finally, for once in his entire life, a wish of his had been granted but some dumb people wanted to take her away from him?
The Alpha was already in the hallways just then, returning from the training ground with the others when they heard Estelle's scream. His heart thudded at that moment and immediately, he took off with Neil and Lair running behind him.Marianne had hurriedly grabbed a cloth and tried to use it to cover the wounded part of Estelle's leg where the blood was really flowing out from, at least the cloth could manage to stop the blood from pumping out. But before she could, the Alpha was in already, his eyes haphazardly rummaging through the room till they landed on a whimpering Estelle and on Marianne who looked quite startled as he entered.She felt guilty as he had counted on her with Estelle's safety before leaving for training but she had failed to do as she was asked to again.A maid had rushed to the other side of the room to get the first aid box while another had rushed out to call Sameer as they already knew the Alpha wasn't going to be calm until a doctor checked on his mate.W
Naina was already on the floor when she heard a chuckle." Calm down, dear." The woman chuckled from behind. Naina immediately turned to stare at who talked and it took a while for her to recognize the face of the person." Zora?" She slowly asked and the woman nodded with a smile." I'm glad you remembered my name. But," Zora's eyes turned wary and stern. " It's evening and you shouldn't be sitting outside in such an unguarded environment so carelessly. Can I go in?" The woman added.Naina who was just returning from the other world where her mind had flown to sighed. No matter how beautiful Zora looked despite her quite old age, the woman was still very scary to her and she wouldn't even lie she was having a second thought about allowing Zora into the apartment.She didn't even know her well and for Zora to have kept the address of her house in mind since that day, it made her the more cautious of the woman. Zora smiled." I'm just a poor old woman, Naina. You can search me if yo
Estelle rolled her eyes when she saw River glancing down at her for the hundredth time since they had left the palace. Neil and Lair were behind them and the Gamma also wouldn't stop asking if she was really okay." Okay, that's enough now. I'm really fine, okay? If you keep looking at me, you might hit your head on the wall." She sighed while he chuckled." You think hitting my head on a wall would hurt me in any way?" He said with a smirk while she rolled her eyes again." Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot this big man here is an Alpha." She said, clicking her tongue. " I actually can't believe I'm this short." She muttered again after a while and he laughed again. Neil and Lair looked really uncomfortable hearing him laugh, it was a distant and an unfamiliar sound to them from him." Why do you say so?" He asked with a teasing smile even though he already knew why she said so." Are you serious right now? Can't you see how I keep straining my neck to look up at you? You're just too ta
" Gift?" " Yes." Kaileyn replied, all smiles. She noticed almost everyone had paused eating to watch. It seems as if they all knew she was up to something, it was dinner time and not the time for giving gifts but Kaileyn had sought it as the best time for her to give gifts." Y'all can stop watching and continue eating. I'm talking to Estelle who's right here beside me so I'm certainly not going to spit into anyone's food." She scorned." I thought Lady Estelle already received her pre-wedding gifts earlier today." Zahara, Lord Limbert daughter and a blonde beauty, murmured with a snarl. She had said it on purpose.Kaileyn turned to glare at her. Her father and Zahara's father were in in good terms at all so it was normal for them, the daughters not to be in good terms too. Even before their fathers had started banting, she and Zahara were sworn enemies and it had all started because of a dress which escalated as they grew." You know I wasn't talking to you, right?" Kaileyn would
