Chapter 76Carlson's povI didn't want him to come out of the situation he was in and I didn't care if he died. He was too wicked to be among the living werewolves."Can you let me go?" he commanded me."no, I won't. You walked in here yourself.""of course, I know that. You don't have to remind me." he refuted and I scoffed."Why?" I asked him, my voice rough with the residual anger, but laced with a curiosity that surprised me. I didn't want to understand the rogue, not really. But the question hung between them, unspoken yet undeniable. I needed to know why he had chosen today of all days to attack. Antonio acted like he had not heard what I said."I'm asking you a question. I demand an answer." I said and pushed him to fall at the wall. He stared at me and for some reason, I spotted a smirk. One that irked my very being and forced me to lash out at him. I sent kicks to his face causing him to repeatedly spit off blood. "you… you wouldn't understand." he managed to say as he tu
Chapter 77Carlson's pov"There is nothing I would never be able to understand you dick. Just go ahead and say it." I said in anger."well I don't think I feel like saying it out," he said and tried to stand up.I had expected answers, explanations, and a roadmap of the invasion. Instead, I was being met with an impenetrable wall of silence in the next minutes that followed. Antonio's face was a mask of coldness, his dark eyes were unreadable behind the veil of his hood. Every attempt to pry information from him was met with a stoic shrug or a cryptic, "You really want to know?" he asked but I knew he was trying to toy with me."There’s a reason you are here Antonio." my voice was low, a rumble that shook the rogue slightly. "I need to understand the "I won't understand" you speak of. I need to hear it, to know what I would face.""And you will," Antonio said, his voice a low growl that echoed across my room, "well in due time. Patience, my friend. The answers will reveal themselves
Chapter 78Carlson's povBut the fight was never between me and him. I had only watched Alpha Xander defeat him and chose not to kill him. Was he still holding in that beef and how was that related to Sonia and Amelia?I was going to hear everything I needed else we would be stuck in there for life. I thought to myself."Why are you doing this?" I rasped the words in a choked whisper. I had seen the rogue’s face, the look of despair that had flickered across his features, and he knew it wasn't just about the disaster that was being caused in the pack. There was something deeper, something that gnawed at the rogue's soul.Antonio shifted a tinge of mockery in his eyes. He coughed, a dry, rasping sound that echoed in the silence of my room. "It was... a mistake...at first," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper.I leaned closer. "A mistake? You risked your life, risked the lives of everyone in this pack, for a mistake?" I felt a surge of anger, a hot, volatile force that threatened to
Chapter 79Carlson's povI couldn't believe my existence as I wished everything was a dream. I looked up at the wall close to the ceiling and found Sonia's picture up there with mine. One we had taken a time we went to the garden.The weight of this betrayal bore down upon me with an intensity that threatened to suffocate me. The realization of my mate's infidelity had shattered my world, tearing apart the very fabric of my existence. The bitter sting of betrayal coursed through my veins, paralyzing my mind and body. The thought of his my, the one I had sworn to protect and cherish forever forging a bond with another consumed me with an anguish that was almost unbearable. The once-solid foundation of our relationship had crumbled into dust, replaced by a chasm of shattered trust.As the seconds turned into restless minutes, my thoughts spiraled into a whirl of self-reproach. But it had nothing to do with Sonia and Amelia but Leila who was also my seed.The guilt I had secretly harbo
Chapter 80Carlson's povThen suddenly, the rain started falling so heavily, thereby adding to my anguish.The rain hammered against the windowpanes, mirroring the pain inside me. I stared at the other window as I watched the rain wash the whole pack, its glow dancing across the walls of my building, a stark contrast to the hot pepper that had settled in my bones. I was already a man stripped bare, my carefully constructed facade crumbling around me, revealing the raw, wounded man beneath.My life, once brimming with ambition and purpose, lay in ruins. My legacy, his very identity was gone in the wind, all reduced to ashes by a single, insidious act of betrayal. It was a betrayal that had not come from a stranger, a competitor, or an enemy. It came from my soul nest. One I had nurtured, the people I had showered with love and affection, the ones I had foolishly believed loved me in return.I thought of my daughter, Amelia. Someone who I had invested my existence in. Whose every whim
Chapter 81Carlson's pov"You traitor. You are an animal." I said as I did all I could, trying my best to hurt him so badly. Dragging his neck in my bittered state, I hit his head numerous times on the wall, my mission, to break his skull."I didn't tell you to treat her bad! He screamed back at me."You failed in your responsibility as a father and husband. Your foolishness is the reason my lover is in the red den tight in this fucking pack and all you have to do about that is stand here and scream about how betrayed you feel? How about when you hurt her at the beginning of the relationship? After hurting me, you went ahead and hurt the woman of my life and expect me never to retaliate? Nah! This is the best time to get back to you. The best time to show you who is boss. Who told you and your alpha that you would get away from me? I hate you! I hate Xander and I will make every single one of you pay just like I let the other enemies die like chickens." he said, laughing maniacally.
Chapter 82Carlson's pov"So now you see I don't need to tell you just how cruel of a person you are. You made her life hell and think I would let you be around my daughter and call her yours? You know that's not true you bastard." Antonio said and attempted a successful kick on my face. I felt weak so I couldn't stop him. Without waiting for another one, he sent a chill punch at my spine, causing me to go back a little bit. I was wounded but noticed that despite the wound, I couldn't feel the real pain. It was just inches of it that felt like scratch."What now uh!" Antonio said and approached me. "are you regretting your actions? You shouldn't anymore. You should just leave the earth after all, you now know that no one wants you.""shut up you bastard," I screamed and ran to him, giving him punching in all parts of his body. But then he stood, looking at me with a wild grin on his face. The green sent needles straight to my heart and pierced it relentlessly. This feeling made me no
Chapter 83Carlson's pov"you can't be serious Antonio? Tell me the truth." I screamed at him, scared for my life."the truth, you already know," he said, approaching me."I don't know anything. Tell me what I need to know.""the truth is..." he said, completing his statement with a large punch on my face.My nose bled but that was not my issue.I was wondering if I would ever be able to live to correct my life mistakes. Even though I never get to correct it with Amelia and Sonia, I badly wish to correct it with Leila and I really hoped it wasn't what I was thinking."you will die!" he said to me and brought out a long rope.I couldn't stand to defend myself and couldn't shift because of the poison in my body system. The inky thing I could use was my hands but the sane hands were pressing my legs, trying to ensure that the poison did not get to a fragile part of my body. That was how helpless I was at that point. He tied me and lifted me, throwing me to the top of my bed.I was then l
