“What did you find out?”I demanded , impatient to know what he knew.
The boy looked shaken at my tone. “A-Alpha Richard is her father , the fire Cross Pack is Princess Lucy’s real family.”
Shock raced through my veins at the speed of light , paralyzing my entire body.
They were her brothers?
Her brothers?
Lucy didn’t have an affair ?
What the f**k did I do!
My mother gasped. “Oh no , what have we done?”She asked in horror.” We didn’t give the child a chance to explain herself.”
Lucas shook his head at me .” I told you Lucy wasn’t capable of having an affair .”He snapped.
“You said Alpha Eric told you?”I asked the boy.”Did Ariana know as well?’
The boy swallowed and slowly nodded his head.
The betrayal ate at me raw , she knew all along?
“Why did you come to us?”I asked suspiciously .”What is it you want?”
“I would like to join your pack Alpha .I have no where else to turn too.”He answered honestly.
It made sense now.
“I see.”I said studying the boy in front of me , he looked like he really had no where else to turn. “I will discuss it more with you when I return in the meantime have James help you.”
“Where are you going?”My father asked anxiously .
“To pay someone a visit.” I answered , my voice sounding ice cold to my own ear.
..
As soon as Ariana saw the look on my face she doubled back against the wall in fear.
“You knew?” I spat at her in disgust .”All this time you knew ?”
Her face instantly paled.
“‘I-I don’t know what you’re talking about .”She stuttered .
“Don’t lie to me Ariana , you knew all along that they were her f*****g brothers1??I roared as my fist connected to the wall behind her ,some of the blocks falling to the ground into a million pieces.”And yet you continued to say all those things about her , making me believe she really was having an affair.”
I looked at her in disgust for the first time ever since I’d found out we were mates.
“I was scared I was losing you .”She cried .”I needed to do something .”
“I don’t want to hear anything .”I shouted . “Don’t expect to see me for a few days.”
“Where are you going ?” She asked in horror.
I gave her a death glare. “To bring Lucy back.”
She gasped. “You can’t”
“I can.”I growled . “And I f*****g will.”
I was halfway out the door when her next words lashed out at me.
“You don’t understand they took her back to the council!”She screamed .
My body froze , the council?
for a moment I stood there paralyzed , unable to think or breathe properly .
They took her to the f*****g council? Lucy couldn’t be there , it wasn’t safe for someone as delicate as her , f**k even the strongest struggled to survive in that hell hole! I had to leave now before anything happened to her.
“Don’t go!”Ariana screamed again.”Please Austin , I love you!”
I ignored all her calls as the anger of her betrayal mixed with my fear for Lucy’s safety pounded against my temples , giving me an instant excruciating headache .
I felt my gut twist in agony ,I needed to get to Lucy , needed to see her in front of my eyes , needed to touch her , caress her , needed to see for myself that she was safe and out of any danger , needed these things more than I needed f*****g air to breathe.
