182 When Zevran hates\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chalice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been three days. Three whole days of being locked up in this godforsaken cell. Three whole days of starvation and filth\u2026 three days since I last enjoyed the freedom I used to have.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And three days since I last saw any of the triplets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Louis in this desperate moment had decided not to show, and I couldn\u2019t fault him for it because the triplets had specifically asked that no one is allowed into my cell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had successfully ostracised me from the rest of the pack, and for that reason, no one could help me- not even my parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, I wasn\u2019t mad anymore\u2014 maybe at some point, rage was all I felt\u2014 but now, by the gods, I had long gone past the stage of being mad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, I was full blown panicking. Panicking because I now knew the extent to which they could go to make me pay for my crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I now knew how badly they could hurt me for putting their one true mate through the extent of suffering I had put Leilani through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I hate to admit this, but now, I have come to the conclusion that I lost and she\u00a0<\/p>\n
won.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But not for long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not when I had something new up my sleeves. Not when I could make them love me again as much as they always have and more. Not when I could get back all I have lost plus a little more just by snapping my fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, all I needed was a way out of here. All I needed was a way to get my hands on Leilani- not to kill her though. No, she deserved worse than that and her blood was too filthy to be on my hands; So I had devised something better. Something more powerful\u2026 something interesting. 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
A small smile spread across my face despite the pain in my back, arms and ankles due to being chained up for so long, and just the thought of the things I had in store for her had me laughing hysterically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Excited, I tipped my head back and barked out a laugh, one that would\u2019ve scared me if it wasn\u2019t coming from me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
20:38\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/6\u00a0<\/p>\n
182 When Zevran hang\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess. I just needed to get back all I have est from her and them push Lomo\u00a0<\/p>\n
killing her off. It wasn\u2019t so difficult now that think of it, so let\u2019s fast take it as he was of killing two birds with one stone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
End of story.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you intend to pretend to be insane, Chalice, just know that I wouldn\u2019t buy it. Even f everyone does, I wouldn\u2019t. A voice snapped me out of my reverie and I fraze when g eyes slowly peeled open to find Zevran glowering down at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The expression on his face had my blood running cold in an instant and even my body was beyond battered and sore, I managed to sit up and beam a smile one that he didn\u2019t return- not like he ever does.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He snarled; \u201cI came to have a conversation with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s it about?\u201d I slurred back, smiling again when his eyes hardened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess, I was scared of him. Terrified even. But I couldn\u2019t stop laughing. I couldn\u2019t help the stupid smile gracing my face\u2026 and I began to realize to my horror that mache. just maybe I was indeed going crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hopefully, I get to destroy Leilani first before this madness creeps in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At my voice, Zevran pulled out a chair in front of me and sat down. And bades, g mouth instantly watered when he crossed his ankles and folded his large arms a\u00a0<\/p>\n
his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the gods, he was handsome. Mouthwatering\u2026 tantalizing. Geez, if there\u2019s a word better than those three, then that\u2019s what I\u2019d have used in describing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His sweet masculine scent seeped into my nostrils and I closed my eyes before I could help myself, a low moan slipping through my lips. \u00a9\u00a0<\/p>\n
He snorted. \u201cYou know what I want to talk about, Chalice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leilani.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My face fell. I frowned. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A slow smile spread across his face before he lifted his gaze to meet mine, and when that happened, my heart began to pound against my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because he looked scary. Terrifying. His lower lip was curled into a snart and his\u00a0<\/p>\n
usually beautiful dark eyes were so stormy and had hardened so much, it looked like l was staring straight into the depths of death,\u00a0<\/p>\n
20:38\u00a0<\/p>\n
182 When Zevran hates\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
He seethed; \u201cIt\u2019s funny how you think that I\u2019m asking you. Look around Chalice\u2026\u201d he growled in his Alpha voice and I had no option but to look around us, my breath hitching when I saw the murder weapons hanging on the walls like trophies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued; \u201cI\u2019m willing to pry the words out of your mouth if that\u2019s what it takes for you to speak. So the choice is all-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Zevran-\u201d I began to say but stopped when he pinned me with a harsh glare,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care about the baby if that\u2019s what you\u2019re about to talk about.\u201d He spat, meeting my gaze; and hell, I wanted to bury myself alive. I wanted to shrink into this chair and disappear into it for all of eternity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was that scary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It took a moment for his words to settle at the back of my mind, and when it did, I couldn\u2019t help the tears that streamed down my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My tears fell harder when I noticed the small silver dagger he played with between his fingers. And then he looked up at me and smiled;\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were the one in that video right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to say no. I wanted to lie, to pretend like I had no idea what he was talking about. But I couldn\u2019t. Not when it felt like he was in my head, moving around like some fucking virus. Not when he wouldn\u2019t stop twilling that godforsaken knife between his fingers, as if silently daring me to do or say something stupid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My fear got the best of me as my heart soon began to race. I nodded meekly. \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cSo why did you make us all believe that it was Leilani? Why did you spread it knowing fully well that it was you in it? Gosh Chalice, why did you dress up as your sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, I had no idea what to say. I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out. Instead, more tears slipped out of my eyes as I shook my head slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My body shook violently and the corners of my vision blurred. But apparently, Zevran wasn\u2019t done with me. He leaned forward, his wicked eyes meeting mine as he continued; \u201cYou were also responsible for that rogue attack.\u201d He said in a way that made it seem like he was accusing me, not asking a question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I dropped my gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat else did you do? What other lie did you tell about your sister? Did Leilani really accuse us- my brothers and I\u2014 of raping and murdering Jennifer? Did she really start that war that nearly cost us everything?\u201d He drawled, and this time, I swear, even if I\u00a0<\/p>\n
20:38\u00a0<\/p>\n
182 When Zevran hates\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
wanted to respond, I definitely could not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart had begun to beat so fast, I feared I would hyperventilate. And now, despite how cold my cell was, I was sweating profusely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Memories I had buried deep inside my mind began to resurface, stirring in my heart like a wildfire; and I trembled slightly before shaking my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I whispered; \u201cI have no idea. I don\u2019t know. All know is that I overheard her telling Elder Pius that you used three used to bully and sexually harass Jennifer. She started the rumor is all I know. I don\u2019t know anything else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zevran stared at me for a long while, his breathing loud as he stared pointedly at my face. And then he said something I least expected him to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He drawled: \u201cI don\u2019t believe you. I could never even if I wanted to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with that, he rose slowly and walked out of my cell; But not before saying; \u201cTake two more days in here to reflect on your answers. Chalice, I want the truth, and you won\u2019t leave this room without it. Understood?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you said three days earlier! I\u2019ve been here for three days already and I need to clean up! I\u2019m hungry too and I\u2019m carrying your baby!\u201d I screamed back, but he was long gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All I had left was the scent of his lingering perfume\u2026 and my voice echoing back at me as if mocking me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shivered slightly as a cold wind blew against my body, causing the sound of clattering to fill my ear before I felt the beginnings of something dreadful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was hurting so badly I could barely breathe through the pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
my teeth\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to clamp my hands over my stomach but failed due to the chains around my wrists. I closed my eyes, gasping as more pain wracked through my body until I began to sob uncontrollably due to how terribly it hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, I felt something warm trickle between my thighs and when I looked down at it, my breath hitched. My heart fell down down into my stomach and panic like no other coursed through my veins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
20:38\u00a0<\/p>\n
182 When Zevran hates\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
My blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I screamed. \u201cHELLLLLPPPPP!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
