85 BATheir stay on Alpha Mikhail's place has lasted for almost a week and they will be counting more days in his territory. Alpha Lachlan have not figure it yet on how they will find a safe place of their own to hide. Going back to his territory is dire. It is the hotspot for the enemy's eyes. He is certain all the way in and out of his vicinity— everywhere, there is an enemy lurking and waiting for them to get seized.Sebastian handed Alpha Lachlan a cup of coffee he made himself. From a distance, from the balcony of Alpha Mikhail's mansion, they both witnessed how much Nyx is relishing Alpha Mikhail's company. “I did not expect that,” he stated, “she did not want to come here and there she goes smiling like there is no tomorrow.”Alpha Lachlan remained expressionless. “Let her be. She is still in love with that asshole,” he muttered contemptuously.His eyes grew wide and mouth gaping. Sebastian gazed at Alpha Lachlan with a dumbfounded look. “Did you just called him 'asshole'?” he
86 BAHe stayed there, hesitating even to breathe. His heart is pounding so hard that he thought even the sound of his breathing will put him to danger. Alpha Lachlan felt he is seized though he is not— not yet. The weight of the stare have not left his direction.“You are getting paranoid.” Alpha Mikhail spoke irritated. “You need a break, Cere.”“But, Alpha—”“You did enough. You may go.” Alpha Mikhail snapped him. “You did great.”“Thank you. But what am I going to do with the Alliance?” Cere asked like he is waiting for Alpha Mikhail to give him the command.“Continue spying. I still need your eyes and ears inside the Alliance.”He was so shocked that Alpha Lachlan almost rushed to see who Alpha Mikhail is speaking to. The good thing is he is able to prevent himself to do it— not to give into the temptation of seeing them or else he will be putting himself in great danger. A spy… this is something knew to him; a huge fragment of information that will soon be beneficial.“Sure. As
Nyx shook her head contemplating, searching for the right and logical reason her twin is using to act that way because up to this time, no matter how she cogitate, she can’t understand him.“So are you really going to insist Alpha Mikhail is up to something?” Nyx rolled her eyes and then it went to challenge her twin. Her angry glare went deeper into his orbs. But Alpha Lachlan did not have a change of emotion. “I see. You are sticking to your act, huh? This is extremely ridiculous!”“I saw how—” he was snapped immediately. He wanted to tell her he is not insisting lies, but the truth he found out. Nyx needs awakening; he needs to scrape whatever matter Alpha Mikhail has put before her eyes, blindfolding her to see what is really happening. Nyx bitterly smiled then her vision landed into each of them. She lastly glanced at Maridelle before her eyes returned to Alpha Lachlan. Before she uttered something, memories of how she dislikes Maridelle for her twin; the instances she had repea
88 BAHe is doubling his steps towards the guestroom. Behind him is Sebastian; he is panting, catching for his breath. Alpha Lachlan is walking too fast with his long strides. But Sebastian is not in a mood to use his super speed.Alpha Lachlan halted himself from walking just few steps away from the guestroom's door. He lifted his gaze and landed it on his twin. He could not, not yet, give Alpha Mikhail a glance. It boils his blood beholding him staying close to his twin and making her feel special when in reality, everything he is showing her is fraud.Sebastian stopped his steps and remained behind Alpha Lachlan. From Nyx's perspective, she can only see a glimpse of him.Nyx still remembers them bickering over petty concerns. But they are still siblings and she cannot let the bridge of their relationship burn again. It has been fixed for a short time; its destruction is unwanted. “Hi,” she timidly said.“Hey.” Alpha Lachlan embraced Nyx. He tucked few of the hair strands swaying in
89 BA Nyx felt instantly relieved. The way Alpha Lachlan has gave an introduction to asking pieces of information from Alpha Mikhail has made her tensed. Remembering their fight about Alpha Mikhail pulling an act is the source. “You had just asked the right wolf for that twin,” she commented, being proud of Alpha Mikhail’s ability in information seeking. Sometimes the same thing rendered Nyx to daydream it had made them compatible. Both of them got the knack to know what is ought to be known.“Right. Since Nyx and I are getting okay and I am foreseeing this as the start of stronger bond” —he looked at Nyx with her face reddening in front of everyone— “feel free to ask me anything, Alpha Lachlan. We are going to be a family soon. We should both learn to work together.”Alpha Lachlan had his stomach turned up side down for the umpteenth time. Every word coming from Alpha Mikhail nauseates him. He could not take another bite regardless how tasty Nyx has made it. Even Sebastian got nau
Alpha Lachlan hastily closes the door. Maridelle who is preceding him abruptly glanced at Alpha Lachlan. “You look anxious and nervous, are you okay? Is everything fine?” Maridelle is perplexed. Recalling everything that had happened within the passing minutes, she saw nothing that should worry him— well aside from the wounds that she got.Alpha Lachlan just walked past her. She found it strange. He never ignored her. She observes him hurried his steps towards Sebastian. Sebastian is swaying in front of him a discolored rose. His world revolves around his wild and alarming thoughts as he stared on each petals. He was so out of the reality that he did not heed the repeated calling of his attention from Alpha Lachlan. “Give it to me. Let me see,” Alpha Lachlan demanded for Sebastian to give him the rose. He got his suspecion correct regarding the rose. Maridelle's blood must have flowed in droplets directly into the rose.Sebastian is finally snapped out of his train of thoughts. “He
She found herself on two minds. One thought of her says to stop following him; the other says, to keep going. Whichever thought she would harken to, Nyx is frightened to discover the truth. That the euphoria she had felt is an illusion; that she had said the piercing words to her only family for the wrong reason. That Alpha Mikhail— the wolf she will be willingly offering her entirety and whole life to— is not worthy of the second chance. Nevertheless, her feet continued following his footsteps along the dark corridors. She carefully observed the things she passes by. Within few minutes of stealth movements, a warm streak of light came into view. It is coming from few lamps attached on the walls. She found the place really weird. Few meters away from her, Alpha Mikhail stopped. She found it strange. It is a cul-de-sac and no one except them are in the place. She stealthily closed a considerable gap to closely learned from Alpha Mikhail's strange behaviour.“He is few minutes late. I
His voice faded as Nyx lengthened the gap betweem them. She guessed the Omega did not just only bought her enough time, but ample of it. She doubled her steps.Her hand in hovering near the door; her head is leaned against it. She planned to apply some manners just like what Sebastian has told her. She will knock. Is it not too late to apologize.“No one’s going to open that door.”Nyx lifted her gaze. It was Sebastian.“What do you mean? Where are they?” Nyx worriedly uttered, “are they okay? Are they safe?”Nyx did not receive a word for an answer. Sebastian just stared at her.“Answer me, Seb!” she screamed, “where are they?”Sebastian remained silent. Instead of direclty asking her, he wanted to figure it out herself why she suddenly changed his behaviour. It was just few hours ago that Nyx wanted them to leave, like they are the most detestable creature she had ever laid her eyes on. But now she seeks for them.“This is bullshitt! I am just wasting my time with you!” Nyx kicked t
