even if he did, where did he go? Vanish in thin air?" "There was no one or no scent except yours when I found you. " My heart thuds in my chest. What? How can it be possible. swear Xavier! I saw that man! He -" "Shut up your lies doll, you don't want to make me more angry. " "Stop covering your stupid suicide attempt with your bullshit. " "You were well aware of the repercussion of something happening to you on my territory, yet you did a stunt like this. " "You know what? I have a better explanation for your actions. " My heart thuds faster, it can't be good. I just know. "You and your father planned this. If something happened to you here, council will consider it a violation of the barter and strip me of my title. " III 12 Woucher "Once out of power, you father will attack and take over. " "Am I right?" I blink in disbelief. What the fuc*? Has he lost his marbles? Me planning with Dad? I was rendered speechless. At that point, words meant nothing. This man can go to any extent to find an excuse to hate me. Before I could stop myself, my eyes roll at him "Did you dare to roll your eyes at me?" He grips my jaw to seethe and I sigh. "You think too high of yourself Alpha Xavier. Do you seriously think I will try to kill myself just to strip you off your power?" "My life is way more valuable to give away for a bastard like. you. " He keeps staring at me and I hold his stare. "Then why didn't you kill yourself before marrying me, huh? Why -now?" 111 15. 36 Chapin Is this man dumb? "I fuc*ing told you it wasn't suicide! A man tried to kill me!" He lets go of me and starts pacing the room. His veiny fingers run through his hair. 中 After 5 long minutes of losing in deep thought, he nods to stand beside me. "I will check thoroughly once and until I find a proof, you will stay here. " "I don't trust you one bit. As if I trust him. He can go and never show me his face again for all I care. I know Dom told me to not argue with him but he doesn't help. He starts walking out and right before his last step, he presses a switch. Pitch darkness surrounds me and my throat clogs in fear. "What the hell-" "It's called the dark room for a reason. And yes, as I promised, 35 46% your company will join you shortly" "Thank your luck, they are edentate. " With this he slams the door shut and I am welcomed with pitch darkness. Company? What company? Edentate?And what does that word even mean? The man is going crazy with every passing day. I tug on my wrists to find them tied above my head. My feet had similar fate. Aghh a little effort and I already feel. drained. Closing my eyes, I just decided to get some rest. I barely survived today and look at him, ready to punish me again. I deserved some rest at least. My mind wanders to that killer and I couldn't help rewind his words. He said Xavier sent him. Lie. Xavier wasn't acting. From his reaction it was clear he knew. nothing about this. He hates me, I know but he won't kill me. And even if one day he decides to do it, it will from the front, in my face, by his hands. Not from behind. ။ 1537 Or his dear ego will be hurt. Then why did he lie? Think Sierra. There must be a reason. Think! It clicks and I freeze. It's obvious. He wanted me and everyone else to believe that Xavier did it and broke the terms of barter.noveldrama It was a trap to ruin him using me! But if no one entered the pack, does this mean it's an insider. Or rather a pack member working as an agent? I have to find out. The threat is inside! And I know this is not going to be his last attempt. He failed in this one. But he will try again. But how will I if I am not released and Xavier doesn't trust me? Dropping my head back I sigh, When suddenly I hear a chirp followed by a hiss. 71. 15:37 I decide to ignore it. But it resonates again. And then before I know it, the only voice audible was chirping. I struggle in the chains, desperate to see what it was, but I am only welcomed with darkness. "What the hell is this now!" I freeze as I feel something crawling up my legs and then it happened. Something bit my thigh and a scream left my lips. It didn't stop…. more and more of those creatures start crawling on me and I thrash desperately. Searing pain hits my feet, then my leg, my chest. And then I saw one of them crawling up my face. Fucking Rats! Xavier, you can't be serious!
