Chapter 67Stacey rushed into her room, slamming the door shut and rushing to the bathroom. She rushed back out when she remembered that she didn’t bolt it at the back. After doing that, she bolted the secret door too before rushing back to the bathroom.She didn’t bother to take off her clothes as she sat in the bathtub. It was not until she was swaying down that her heart rate slowed, making her calm down. What was that memory all about? Has she been lying to everyone all around and her parents treated her well at some part in her life? Did she lie about everything and she was at fault?“You have to calm down.” Freya mindlinked her.“I can’t! I can’t!” She yelled out. “I just discovered that I laughed genuinely at one part of my life. I did things that made me happy at a point in my life. And you’re telling me to calm down.”“If you were so happy about it, why did you forget? Why wasn’t it a memory that you did not want to let go?” Freya said to her. “I don’t know. I don’t know.
Chapter 68“What did you do again!” Ronan raged out as they kept on banging the door but to no avail.“Isn’t there spare keys in this house?” The priestess asked.“She used the lock and not the key.” Lena retorted.Suddenly, the door opened as Stacey stood there with a bored look on her face, “I was in the toilet taking a shower. Couldn’t you all have calmed down?” She said, eyeing them.Ronan pulled her into a hug immediately, wrapping his hand around her body as he buried his head to her neck. Stacey raised her brows, not understanding what was going on.“What’s wrong? Why are you acting like…“I’ll take my leave now if there’s nothing else. I just thought she was in danger because of the way she ran out of my place. I’m sorry.” The priestess said, meeting Stacey’s eyes before walking away with her guards. Ronan didn’t let go of her, not minding the looks he was receiving from some of the guards and maids that they called before.“You…you’re Cho…choking me..” Stacey stuttered.His
Chapter 69A loud bang on the door caused both of their heads to be turned towards it before Stacey sighed.“It could be Lena.” She said before standing up and going to open it.“How are you feeling? Hope you’re good? You scared me for a minute there.” Lena said as she entered, her hand patting every part in Stacey’s body.“The priestess must have scared you all. It was not something serious.” Stacey retorted.“And why are you still here? You have no shame, dragging her in like that and slamming the door to our face. Weren’t you at least supposed to pull me in?” “I’m sorry Lena, but no.” Ronan replied before standing up from the bed. He nodded at Stacey as he opened the secret door to his room, “I’ll talk to you later then.” He said before walking off. Lena hissed out as the door closed to their face before turning to Stacey. “So what have you been discussing? About what? Has he finally proposed to you or what?” Lena joked.“Nothing. He helped oil my hair, nothing much.” Stacey re
Chapter 70Both father and daughter sat down together, staring at Eric who sat in front of them. Eric’s eyes kept darting back and forth between them, his thoughts all over the place and wondering why a meeting like this was called abruptly.“I think it’s high time we start rolling in with our plans.” Janiya’s father started.“What plans?” Eric asked with a raised brow.Janiya’s father sat up, staring into Eric’s eyes. “The plan was to make sure Janiya ended up with Ronan. And I have the alpha position to myself.”“You promised to give me the position. You’ll be my beta! That’s what we agreed on.” Eric retorted.“Well, things have changed.” Janiya said as she stood up.“I’m surprised at how Ronan got to know I have feelings for him. I’ve always kept it at bay, not letting anyone know about it or telling it to anybody. How does he know? I’m so surprised.”“Maybe you were not good at hiding your feelings and he knew about it, or what else?” Eric replied.“I see you’ve gained some confi
Chapter 71Ronan decided to check up on Stacey before going for the pack inspection, only for him to see Lena patting her slowly.“What happened?” He asked.He frowned his face as he saw Lena’s face, all swollen from crying. “What happened here? Did you two beat each other up or what?” He asked with raised brows.Lena only shook her head, not saying any words as she kept on patting Stacey softly. Her lips curled up as she looked up at her brother again before looking at Stacey,“Do you think she can ever believe in herself?” Ronan walked to Lena and sat beside her, placing one of his hands on her leg as he stared at her. “What happened?” He questioned.“Nothing. I’ve just been thinking if this is actually fair on her, or what they did was fair on us too.”“Why did her father treat her that way? Why did her mother treat her that way too?” Lena asked as tears started to well in her eyes again.“Lena, stop crying and tell me what happened? Did she tell you anything? Have you told her a
Chapter 72The table was awkwardly silent in the night. Stacey kept on staring at Ronan, her eyes going back and forth between him and her food. He was never like this, he would have said something to her since she has been staring, or joke about it.“Did something happen?” She asked with a small smile on her lips.Ronan pretended not to hear her, continuing with his food without any reply. Stacey felt her heart sink at his reaction, continuing with her food too. Immediately he finished his food, he drank his water and cleaned his mouth with his towel and stood up.“Ronan,” Stacey called, not able to take it anymore.She stood up, dropping her spoon as she focused on him.“Did I do anything I don’t know about? Or say something? Or did Lena tell you anything?” She asked, clenching her jaw.“It’s nothing Stacey. I’m just tired from the pack round. I just need to rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.” He said without glancing at her, walking away from the table immediately.Stacey watched him go, he
Chapter 73“Fuck! I told you not to act like that to her! Why do you think with your dick and not your brain!” Lena yelled out.“What do you expect me to do? You know what we did to her. Am I supposed to sit down and laugh with her!”“Are you supposed to chase her off!” Lena yelled back.She ran her hand through her hair, hissing out as she walked to the secret room. “Follow me now.” She ordered, opening the door and tried opening the one to Stacey room only to find out it’s locked.“Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Open the door!” She yelled out as she started banging the door.Ronan locked the main door before walking towards Lena.“Let her be. When she’s ready, she’ll open the door.” He said.Lena turned to him and slapped his face. “Did you tell me about it then! Did you say anything to me! You went ahead, following his order stupidly and now you’re here, claiming things stupidly! You’re no different from him!” She spat at his face, hissing as she walked away from him. “You were in love
Chapter 74Stacey was on her own the next day. She didn’t go to the dining table for breakfast or greet anyone. The moment she woke up, she made her way directly to the priestess house even before the old woman was ready.“Did the alpha chase you out of his house? Or you’re taking your trainings serious from now on?”“The latter.” She replied with a bored expression.The priestess watched her for a while, noticing something was wrong before stopping what she was doing.“Tell me, what’s wrong? Did Ronan say something? Or is it Lena?”“So he’s a jerk and no one decided to warn me about it.” Stacey muttered loud enough for the priestess to hear. “Did he do something?” The priestess asked, her ears perked up.Stacey opened her mouth to start but shut it back. His words of last night ringing in her head. “You know what?” She started, looking at the priestess. “I blame the moon goddess for giving me such a bad fate. My first mate was such a jerk too and this one, the king of jerks.“Stace
