Chapter 117
ALPHA LEO.
I was still leaning on the wall, staring at Caroline and lost in my thoughts when I heard her groan,
“Good, the little angel’s awake,” Bolt said to me, but I ignored him and began to walk towards her bed,
“Are you okay?”
She fluttered her brows and stared at me.
“Fuck, my head hurts so much.”
When she said this, I suddenly recalled what the doctor had said. He had even confirmed it yesterday,
“What about the other lady, is she okay? Did she get hurt? And who was that earlier? How come he almost looked like you, Leo?”
I wasn’t going to answer any of her questions,
“How long were you planning on keeping it away from everyone?” I questioned and she arched her brows in surprise,
“Keeping what?”
Did her parents know about this and were keeping silent too? What the hell was I supposed to do with a sick Luna who had less than a year to live?
I clenched my fingers behind me, still staring at her without uttering words. For a second, I felt the something hard with my fist or break anything so I could relieve myself of the anger building up inside of me, urge to hit
“Blake would take you back to your pack, Caroline, the marriage has been called off. I can’t pick you as the future Luna of the blood moon pack. As soon as you’re strong enough to leave, I’ll send Blake to you.”
“What? You can’t be serious, Leo. I had taken a few steps away when she yelled, but I halted and turned around to face her.
“It’s Alpha Leo to you, Caroline,” I responded, but she yelled again,
“Is it because of her? The lady from last night. Katherine. I know you love her, Leo. She was the lady you mentioned when you were drunk.”
I was silent as I stared into her eyes,
“So what?”
“If you had her, why did you choose me in the first place? Why the hell did you try to be closer to me? emotions a sort of joke to you or you thought you could play me when you already had a mate?”
my
I could see tears at the brink of falling from her eyes as she spoke but all I could think about was the fact that she was hiding something this big from everyone, even her family. Why?
“Even after I knew you had someone you loved, I tried not to fall in love with you, but I couldn’t. For so many years I rejected every suitor that came for me, but you, I had no idea why I couldn’t get you off my mind after the first day we met. I guess my curiosity to know who my parents desperately wanted to match me up with made me fall in love with
you.
She tried to stand up on her feet but winced in pain while holding her head
“What’s going on with me?”
didn’t know
I couldn’t answer that because I was certain Caroline knew about her sickness, but maybe what she didn’t know was that she had limited time to live already.
“How long were you planning on hiding it from everyone, Caroline? Does your parents know?”
“What are you talking about?” She questioned and I scoffed at her.
“Don’t play dumb with me. I know you’re sick and you’re only getting worse. You do know how long you have to live, don’t you?”
The expression on her face suddenness changed when she heard this and she took her gaze away from mine.
“How did you…
“You passed out after the training and I had a doctor come to check up on you yesterday. He confirmed his suspicions.”
“Can you keep this a secret? I understand if you don’t want to go further with this marriage, but no one can find out. about this, especially my parents.”
“You’re the next heir to the Red Crystal pack and only daughter. You have to find a way to get that tumor cured else your family will lose their rights to the pack and their legacy ends after your death. You’re aware of that right?”
“I know, and it’s too late. I accepted my fate long ago, so there’s nothing I can do about it. This is my decision, Alpha.”
1 arched my brows,
Who in their right mind would be willing to choose death? There had to be a way out of it,
“I take back what I said. The marriage would still hold, and we’re getting a cure to that sickness no matter what, Caroline and I don’t fucking care what you say. No future Luna of mine would die in my pack or under my watch.” I responded and without allowing her to talk, I turned and began to walk away.
I wasn’t doing this because I loved her, but because even though she was trying so hard to hide it,
I could see the desperation to live in her eyes, and I wanted to help her.
KATHERINE:
Tristan didn’t tell me what he wanted last night
After what I said, he dino rose to his feet and walked out of my room without uttering a word to me
He was the only person that could help me at the moment.
The only person that could help me because as strong as I wanted to
I knew I was an Omega and my wolf was rarely active because I didn’t know how to control it yet. People who were unable to control their wolves were always considered omegas, but I had a feeling mine was different.
“Let’s hope Tristan agrees to help us out so I can learn how to communicate with you better, I uttered and rose to my feet,
A knock was rasped on the door, and I walked toward it,
As I opened the door, Tristan was standing at the entrance,
“Hey, good morning.” I greeted him, but he walked right in before responding.
“Good morning. Where’s Tanya?”
Fuck, Tanya. Where the hell was she?
“She went to check up on some friends.”
“She needs a good scolding for letting you act so stupid last night.”
“Tanya isn’t at fault here, Tristan. She tried to stop me, but I chose to go in there on my own and she couldn’t go in with me because after what she did for you, Leo would kill her if he set his eyes on her.”
He let out a deep breath and tucked his hand into his pocket without taking his gaze away from me,
Now that I was staring at Tristan closely, I was starting to see the resemblance between him and Leo.
How come I didn’t notice it all this while? All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
He was just as handsome as Leo, only that their eyes were different and I liked Leo’s more,
Their smile too was a bit different and while Leo had a small scar on his forehead, Tristan didn’t,
I swallowed a lump of saliva down my throat as Tristan began to walk towards me,
“W…wh…what’s wrong? Is something on my face? I questioned as I was still taking steps backward without looking,
“Fuck.” I groaned as I had just stepped on something and was about to fall when Tristan suddenly grabbed my waist, preventing me from falling,
“Were you always this clumsy?” He whispered close to my face,
“I thought about what I want last night, Katherine, and I’ll help you if you’re willing to do it.”
I widened my eyes and rose to my feet properly,
“What? What is it, Tristan?”
“A wish. When the time is right you grant me a
wish, Katherine. Promise me.”
Without thinking twice about it, I responded,
“I promise. I’ll grant you a wish. So when do we start?”
