Ch. 171..175
Chapter 171
Neil looked at Ryan with eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at him. He thought back to the night of Glen’s birthday once again. He could remember how Allison hugged him and defended him. He recalled the night of Ryan’s birthday when Ryan was okay until he
announced Ethan’s wedding announcement.
“Did she feel the same?” He asked his son with a cold voice.
When Ryan heard that, he laughed out loud. While he glanced at Allison, he took a sip from his drink.
“I thought so. But…” He paused and smirked.
“Her faithfulness turned out to be unfaithful.”
Alpha Neil could not understand what to say. He was completely unaware of what was going
on around him.
“I–I-”
He stuttered for the first time as he lost his words. He tried and wanted to say something, but before that, someone mind linked him.
He immediately stood up with wide eyes.
“Ethan?”
He uttered it and turned to Ryan.
“Wade just linked me. He said something happened to Ethan.” After saying that, he dashed off in the direction of the garden area.
As Ryan saw every one of his family members, including Allison, head to the garden, he drained another glass of liquid.
All the guests that were there appeared to be confused. They had no idea what was causing everyone to rush in that direction.
Ryan got to his feet and started making his way toward the middle of the hall. Everyone’s attention was drawn to him immediately. Beta Max walked up next to him and said to others,
“Ladies and gentlemen. It’s nice to meet you all. I believe that the celebration is now over. I hope that Alpha will recognize you when you visit our pack. I hope Alpha will see you all in our pack next time. It is now time for us to leave. You can all depart at this time.”
The voice of one of the Alphas could be heard asking, “Where is Alpha Ethan? He should stay to at least see us off.”
Ryan arched his eyebrow. “Why? Am I not enough for you?”
The Alpha gulped and shook his head. “I didn’t mean that. Please don’t take it that way. My sincere apologies.”
Gamma Colin glared at everyone and said,
“You all have duties in your packs. Go back safely before dawn. No one knows when you will
get in danger.”
After being given the warning, everyone looked at one another, nodded their heads, and exited the pack house.
“I recalled, just like tonight, Ethan’s beta Wade instructed all the guests to leave that night.” Delta Owen broke the silence to Beta Max and lifted his drink with a sly grin on his face.
Ryan snickered when he recalled that night. He cast a cursory look toward the staircase.
“Ryan, will you go to see him?” Beta Max asked him about Ethan. His mate, Teresa, also went with Allison to see Ethan in the garden.
“No.”
“I think he is dead.” Gamma Colin said and dialed a number.
Ryan turned to him and said,
“You all, except Max, go back to the Black Moon.”
Gamma Colin paused and frowned at him.
“This was not the plan you have discussed with us.
“I changed the plan at the last moment.”
“Bro.”
“Just go back, Colin. I will be back soon.”
Colin sighed and nodded at him. He looked around at the others and motioned for them to head for the exit.
Vernon and Owen said to Ryan,
See
you soon.”
“Hmm.”
Vernon, Owen, and Colin left the pack house to leave the pack.
Beta Max stared at Ryan, which he ignored completely.
Max did not say anything to him and saw him going upstairs.
Ryan walked toward a bedroom and stopped at the door.
He could hear sobs coming from the room. He twisted the doorknob and looked inside the
room.
A woman was crying on the couch. Her mascara was messed up because of her tears. Her beautiful face turned pale.
She caught a glimpse of Ryan, who had only moments ago come into the room.
“R–Ryan!”
She uttered and got on her feet.
He closed the door behind him and walked to her.
She rushed to him to hug him. Her hands wrapped around him tightly as she began to cry aloud.
He embraced her and then gently stroked her back while looking at the blank wall.
“I–1 reject him.” She said and sobbed.
“You did well, Elora.”
She shook her head and replied,
“I didn’t want to.”
He frowned and grabbed her arms to move her away from him.
He then made his way to the couch and sat down.
She bowed her head in submission. When she afterward became aware of what she had just said to him, she hastened to wipe her eyes.
He lit a cigarette and observed her.
“Didn’t I ask you if you fell for him? Why did you lie?” He asked while inhaling smoke.
“I–I…”
“Stop stuttering like a weak woman. Did I turn you into a hybrid for behaving like this?”
“No.” She shook her head.
“No.” o
She approached him in a deliberate manner and kneeled down in front of him.
‘Alpha”
He stared at her. She was sitting close to his legs.
“If you think you can use your body to please me, then you are wrong. On this day, you should mourn and not think to give pleasure to others.” He let out coldly.
She ignored his remarks, rested her head on his left thigh, and then shed tears.
He did not push her. She sobbed, and her tears fell on his black pants.
He looked away from her. He placed his hand on her head and stroked her hair. As if he were soothing her, she closed her eyes.
After a while, she mumbled,
“He didn’t know that I was a true hybrid. He will die, Alpha.”
His hand paused, and he replied,
“Then let him die.”
She raised her head and looked at him.
“Alpha, I know what he did with Allison was wrong. But she didn’t die. She is alive.”
He blew out the smoke from his mouth and stared at the woman, who looked vulnerable to him.
“If I hadn’t gone to the forest, she would have died that night.”
She parted her lips in shock and averted her eyes from him.
He flickered the ash of the cigarette and said,
“He thinks compensation means asking for an apology without experiencing anything. But that’s not how things work in my world.
He has to feel the same way that he made my woman feel.
No mercy for him.”
Chapter 172
Everyone rushed to the garden when Wade contacted them through mind links.
He told them that Ethan was not okay.
“ETHAN!”
When Ella saw her son laying on the ground, she let out a shrieking cry. The white shirt he was wearing was covered with blood.
“What in the world happened to him?” In a fit of rage, Alpha Neil asked Wade.
“I don’t know. I was searching for him when Allison said he was in the garden.” Wade replied. Everyone turned their heads toward Allison.
“How did something like this happen, Allison?” Glen put the question to his daughter.
Allison was rendered, unable to respond due to her shock. Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at him. She had a hard time accepting that Ethan was in the condition that he was in. She just saw him, and he seemed to be in perfect health.
She balled her hands into fists as she recalled that Elora had been with Ethan when she left him there.
“It’s not time for this. Call Linus.” Alpha Neil said.
“He is on the way.” Wade replied.
Other officials of Ethan were also gathered around.
In a few moments, Doctor Linus arrived at the garden. The state that Ethan was in shook him to his core.
He raced up to him, and the first thing he did was place his fingers on Ethan’s nose.
When Ella witnessed this, she burst into sobs and wailed loudly. How could a mother see her. son die like that?
“He is still breathing. But…” Linus continued after a little pause.
“But what?” Alpha Neil growled.
“I can’t find his wolf inside him. It’s getting harder for him to catch his breath.”
“You are talking nonsense! Get him to the nearest hospital immediately. Do something. Treat him hurriedly, Linus.”
Linus fixed his gaze on Ethan and then informed,
“Uncle, he doesn’t have any wounds outside. H–His mate rejected him. His wolf is leaving his body. I don’t know how I will be able to control his heartbeat.” Linus said as he got emotional by looking at his head Alpha, who was his closest friend in this situation.
Everyone was startled by hearing Linus.
“Rejection?” Alpha Neil muttered and turned to Allison.
Allison stared at Ethan. Ella looked at Allison and asked,
“Did you reject my son?”
“I–I am not the one.” Allison forced herself to let out the reply.
Ethan was assisted in taking to a bedroom downstairs by Linus and Ethan’s officials.
Linus managed all the equipment in the room. He wiped clean Ethan’s upper body, which was filled with blood.
But there was not a single scratch or cut on his body. It was the hurt to his wolf, the wound to his inner body, that a physician was unable to treat.
After affixing an oxygen mask to Ethan’s face, he turned to the other people and said, “I don’t know how long he will take a breath. But it is impossible to reject an alpha. I don’t know how this happened.”
“How can we save him?” Allison asked.
Teresa rubbed her forearms to try to calm her down.
“Only a powerful force can save him. But only a miracle can make it possible.” Linus said with disappointment.
Alpha Neil–looked at Wade.
“CALL GEORGIANA NOW.“!
Almost instantly, Wade reached for his phone and dialed Georgiana’s number.
“We don’t have much time. We have to do something tomorrow morning.” Linus told him.
Wade tried Goergiana’s call several times, but she did not pick up once.
“Anyhow, I want her here. Only she can save my son. She is a powerful lunar witch. She has the power of force.” Alpha Neil said and dialed her number himself.
“I want my son back, Neil. Do something.” Ella cried while hugging Ethan’s lying body.
Allison took a few steps backward before turning around.
“Where are you going?” Joey asked her.
She did not reply to her mother and left the room. Teresa followed her behind.
“Where are you going, Allison?” She asked her.
Allison proceeded to climb the staircase. Her expression radiated rage in every way.
“How can she reject her mate?” Allison said and headed to Elora’s room.
She opened the door and paused. The view in front of her enraged her more.
She noticed that Elora had her head resting on Ryan’s leg. While doing so, he gently stroked the top of her head.
He continued smoking as if he could care less who had entered the room because he did not move at all.
“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?” Allison yelled at Elora.
Hearing the yelling, Elora stood up and wiped her face.
Allison could see her shredded makeup. “What’s the use of crying now? How could your own mate? i
“Allison, calm down.” Teresa said to Allison.
“No, how can I? How could she reject her mate? She was his second chance.”
“So? He was not her second chance.”
They heard Ryan’s voice..
you reject
He got up and tossed the cigarette away before doing so. After destroying it with his shoe, he turned to gaze at Allison.
she has the right to reject him. The man who doesn’t deserve her and is going to marry
someone else, how can she not reject him?”
Allison glared at him. “This is all happening because of you. He is dying. Are you happy now?”
He rolled his eyes and left the room without replying.
Allison turned her head to Elora, whose tears were rolling nonstop.
“While we were in the garden, he told me that he has feelings for you. He said he could not marry me because he had fallen for you. And this is what you gave him? Rejection?”
Elora was stunned by Allison’s words. “He said what?”
“Yes, you heard right. He expressed his regret to me and told me that he would no longer be able to be with me. He said he loved his mate. Why did you decide against him when you were aware that your decision could end his life? You could have given him some time.”
“I…” Elora felt lost. She looked at Teresa with lost eyes.
Teresa felt bad looking at Elora’s condition. Allison did not let Teresa comfort Elora and said,
“I will never forgive you if something happens to him. His life is in your hands.”
“What? In my hand?” Elora asked in disarray.
Allison nodded at her and said,
“If you have even the slightest amount of guilt in your heart, call your mother to come here. before morning.
Only Georgiana James has the key to his salvation.”
Chapter 173
“My mom? How can she help him?” Elora asked with confusion.
“Only
she can describe that. Uncle Neil is trying to contact her. But she is not picking up calls. Do something and ask her to come here. Hurry up.” Allison said to her.
Teresa took her phone out of her purse and gave it to Elora.
“Here is my phone. Call her.”
Elora shook her head. “No, I need to call her with my phone.”
Allison scoffed at her. “Stop crying and wasting your time. He doesn’t have much time.”
Saying that, she left the room.
“Teresa, I didn’t mean to kill him. I didn’t want to.” Elora sobbed and hugged her.
“Elora, please call your mom.
Elora nodded and rushed to her bed to search for her phone. She found it and dialed her mother’s number.
She glanced at Teresa. Teresa smiled at her and said,
“You can talk to her. I am leaving. Take care of yourself.”
his
Elora stared at Teresa, who walked to the door. She left the room and closed the door behind her.
The moment the door closed, Elora sat on the bed and looked at her phone screen. Her mother cut off her call.
She dialed again and again. At the seventh time, her mother picked up the call.
“I was busy with some procedures. How can you disturb me like this after so many times I rejected your calls?” Georgiana’s voice came from the other side.
Elora was quiet for a minute. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
‘Are you crying? What happened? Did Ryan scold you for something?” Her mother asked.
“He is dying, Mom.” Teresa let out a cry.
Her mother did not respond to her as she understood who she was talking about. She sobbed and said,
“Mom, he needs you. Please come fast.”
Georgiana spoke out with a cold tone,
“Have you rejected him?”
“Y–Yes, Mom. I did what Ryan wanted. I rejected him. I knew his life could be in danger, but I still did it. I didn’t know what had happened to me that tim-
She paused, and her eyes widened.
“MOM!”
She shouted and got on her feet when she realized something.
“Stop shouting. I can hear you clearly.”
“Mom, how could you do that?” Elora asked as she recalled that the force that messed up mind in the time of rejection was actually her mother’s craft against her heart.
her
“I just helped you to stop being foolish. Ryan wanted the right thing. You had to reject Ethan, and it was your fate.”
“Mom, I have done what you wanted. Now, please come to the pack house to save him.” “Who says I can save him?”
“Alpha Neil said that. He is trying to contact you; why are you not receiving anyone’s call?”
“Well, I am busy in my coven. I can’t receive anyone’s call right now. I can’t use my phone. It’s against the law.”
Elora frowned when she heard that. “Mom, why are you lying? You met me two days ago. You are in this pack.”
“But Alpha Neil doesn’t know that, honey.”
“If he gets to know that, he will kill you.”
“No one has the audacity or power to harm me except Alpha Ryan. And how will Neil get to know about it? Who will tell him that I am here?”
“I will tell him.” Elora said in anger.
“Stop talking nonsense. Go to Alpha and try to be with him. Don’t waste your time on silly things. Ethan is just a pawn in your destiny. Your master is Ryan.”
Elora bit her bottom lip as she tried to control herself.
“Mom, this time, I will not listen to you. You have to save Ethan. He is not my mate anymore. So just save him. If you don’t come to the pack house before the morning, I will tell Ryan everything.”
“ELORA!”
“Bye, Mom. See you here soon.”
When Allison left Elora’s bedroom in anger, she turned her heels and headed to the last bedroom.
She did not knock and flung open the door.
She saw Ryan standing in front of the window while resting his hands on his pants pockets.
She shut the door loudly and walked to him.
He turned around and got a hard push on his chest by her.
She pushed him while glaring at him.
“How could you do that?” She asked.
He frowned at her without answering her.
“I can’t believe that I loved this kind of man. You made me feel guilty all the time about your broken heart that you loved me and waited for me. But what happened to your that heart when you yourself
hurt your own brother? How could you let her do that?”
The wrath rose, and her anger came out through her mouth.
His eyes turned dark, and he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.
“You look so desperate to save him. It looks like you were right. People can’t forget their first love. Does old love grow in your heart once again?”
Allison’s eyes shot a glare at him. She was not afraid of him.
“You took your revenge. Are you happy now? Or do you need to confirm your brother’s death first to become happy, Alpha Ryan?”
He scoffed at her. “Have you forgotten how he rejected you? Didn’t he leave you to die just like that?”
“So? Does that mean I expect him to feel the same? No, never. I can never imagine that. He made a mistake, and he asked for forgiveness for each passing day. Now, what should I want? His death?
Ryan released her arm, and she shifted backward.
“Didn’t I warn you about it first? I only have two people in my target. Ethan got what he deserved. Now..” He paused and smirked.
She grabbed his collar and warned,
“Don’t dare to hurt my dad.”
Ryan glanced at her hands, which were grabbing his collar as if she would kill him.
“If I do, then what? What can you
do?”
Allison pushed him and stepped back.
“You are a beast. I just hate you, Ryan Iversen. I hate you.”
Chapter 174
Allison stared at Ryan. He showed no emotion whatsoever, making it appear as though her remarks had no impact on him at all.
“Stay away from me and my family.” After saying that, she exited the room.
She was seething with rage. She was taken aback by the fact that Ryan was aware of the mate bond between Ethan and Elora. She knew Elora was not the only one behind the rejection. Ryan might push her to do that.
Allison proceeded to the room in which Ethan had been moved.
She noticed Ella was crying silently. Alpha Neil was walking back and forth in the room.
Linus was sitting on the edge of the bed, checking on Ethan’s health from time to time. Allison glanced at Ethan. He was lying on the bed, lifeless. Only his heart was beating to tell others that he was still alive.
“I will put an end to her life if I ever find the woman who rejected my son.” Alpha Neil said. “I asked the maids if they saw who had entered the garden at that time.” Glen said to Alpha Neil while gazing at Allison.
Allison turned to him and shook her head. She tried to stop him from saying anything. Ethan had already been rejected by Elora, and there was now nothing that could be done about it. However, at least her mother had a chance of saving Ethan.
“Tell me the names.” Alpha Neil said to his best friend, who was still trying to play his beta’s role after retirement. Just like a loyal beta, he went to find out about the incident. Since Wade was busy
with Ethan’s health and had to manage the pack activities at that time, he thought he should step forward.
“At first, Allison went into the garden with Ethan, but when Elora walked in, Allison left the garden.”
“Elora?” Ella mumbled as she heard Glen’s statement.
“But how is it connected to her?” she asked.
“Call that woman and ask her.” Alpha Neil growled at Wade.
Wade looked away from him and remained silent.
Everyone in the room was surprised by his silence.
“Did you already know about that?” As Alpha Neil approached him, he questioned.
Wade lowered his head. “Ethan strictly forbid me from discussing it with anyone else. I am obligated to follow the order of my Alpha.”
“Total nonsense! Is it anything that ought to be kept a secret?” He roared.
At that time, the door opened, and Elora walked into the room.
She gave Ethan on the bed a glance before clenching her hands to bring herself back under
control.
Allison took note of the appearance of Elora’s face. It appeared as though she cried a lot. Behind him, Ryan entered the room.
Allison turned away from him. She did not want to look at him right now. She was angry with him. The way he warned her about her father, she was afraid that he would hurt him in the future.
“How dare you come here? You dared to hurt my son.” Alpha Neil hastened his approach to Elora.
Ryan, however, came between them and halted him before he could get to her.
“Whoever will try to hurt her, I will take action by myself.” He muttered to Alpha Neil.
Elora lowered her head in silence.
“Take action? What about what she had done to Ethan?‘
“That’s her and his private matter, Alpha Neil. Why do you bother to come between mates who don’t want to be with each other and have different partners?” Ryan replied calmly. Hearing him, Neil turned his head toward Allison. He shifted his gaze back to Ryan and asked,
“You took revenge, didn’t you?”
Alpha Neil’s words astounded everyone.
“Revenge for what? Your son is so fragile that he is unable to deal with anything, not even the rejection of a hybrid.”
Neil looked at Elora and asked,
“Who are you? An Alpha can never be turned down by anyone. It is the power that we Alphas inherited from the goddess of the moon. Then how could you reject an Alpha?”
Elora raised her head. She was not in her right mind. She was regretting rejecting Ethan. She was caught off guard by the unexpected nature of her feelings. Her wolf was wallowing in regret inside of her like a bereaved widow.
“I–I am-
“She is not obligated in any way to explain anything to anyone. How can you expect her to accept your son when she is engaged to be married to someone else? Or perhaps it has become. your habit to snatch others‘ partners and give it to your son as he wishes.”
The taunt that Ryan made was clearly understandable to Neil, Allison’s parents, and even Allison herself.
Glen got to his feet and started walking over to Neil. “Alpha, this is not the time to argue with your family. It is time for everyone to get together and pray for Ethan.”
“See? Learn something from him. Ethan’s future father–in–law is really worried for him. He can feel the pain because who knows when people get in danger like this.” Ryan said while looking at Glen.
Glen could feel that Ryan’s words were intended for him. He ignored his remarks.
“But he doesn’t behave like family, Glen.” After declaring his defeat to his closest companion, Neil turned around.
“Can you all just stop it?” Ella said and stood up.
She wiped her eyes and turned to look at her husband and son.
“If the two of you can not stand to be in the same room together without arguing, then you should leave the room. Can’t you see Ethan’s situation? Is it a joke to you both?”
Ryan could see how broken his mother looked. He did not say anything. On the other hand, Neil was glaring at Elora. He could not just think of letting go of the culprit because of whom his son was
dying.
Elora lowered her head and said,
“Please forgive me. I should not have done that. I should have waited for my wedding and let Ryan mark me so Ethan did not have to feel the rejection like this. By that, the mate bond would break easily with less pain.”
Alpha Neil was about to reprimand her, but before that, Wade spoke out as if someone had informed him of something in mind link.
“Georgiana is here.”
Chapter 175
Goegiriana entered the room and cast her gaze around everyone there.
“Georgiana! Thanks a lot that you have come here.” When Neil saw her old friend arrive to
son, he felt compelled to speak up. save hi
Georgiana’s eyes fell on Ryan, who was there, standing next to her daughter.
She moved closer to him and bowed to him.
“Alpha”
Neil frowned at her and asked,
“You knew about him? But why didn’t you tell us?”
“It was his forbidden law. It is only up
to him to reveal to others who he truly is. Anyone who
wants to divulge it will be required to exit his pack.
“His pack? Are you living in his pack?” Glen asked with a shocked tone.
“Yeah, he has the biggest coven in the world. There is no other pack that can provide the
witches with the conveniences that he does. We owe him an enormous amount of gratitude for giving us such a nice life.”
Everyone was stunned by her praise.
“Stop trying to butter me up and do what they ask you to do.” Ryan said and rolled his eyes. Before leaving the room, he cast one final look over his shoulder at Ethan.
Ella rushed to Georgiana and held her hands.
“Please help my son, Georgiana. He is dying.”
“What in the world happened to him?” She inquired as if she were what had taken place.
“This woman rejected him.” Neil said to Georgiana while pointing at Elora.
tely aware o
Elora turned her attention away from Neil’s rage and toward Georgiana instead. “Mom, please do something to save him.”
“Mom?”
Everyone in the room except Allison was taken aback.
“Did you just call her your mom?” Neil asked.
Georgiana smiled at Neil and replied,
“She is my only daughter, Elora James.”
The others‘ eyes widened in response.
“Your daughter? But she is a hybrid.” Joey said with confusion.
“There is a long story. I can’t tell you about it. But what she had done was something your son
+IS BONUS
had in his fate to take inevitably.”
“What are you saying? Are you trying to hide your daughter’s fault, Georgiana?” Neil asked in a furious tone. No matter how powerful a witch was standing in front of him, for him, his son– came first.
“No way. Didn’t I warn your son on your other son’s birthday night? I predicted that he would become a powerful Alpha, and that is exactly what happened. I predicted that he would have a smooth reign over the pack, and he did so. After that, I cautioned him that he would have to face the consequences of his actions. It would be a punishment for the sin that he had committed himself.”
“My son is not a sinner. Why are you saying this, Georgiana?” Ella cried out.
“Ella, your son is not a saint either. Ask your soon–to–be daughter–in–law. Didn’t he reject her?”
Except for Neil and Ella,
every!
person in the room was aware of the rejection.
Neil looked at Glen, who was silent. Neil frowned and asked,
“You were aware of it? Why did you hide it from me?”
“I did not want to hurt you. After some time had passed, he reconciled with Allison and pleaded for forgiveness. Therefore, there is no point in continuing to discuss it.” Glen explained to Neil.
Neil experienced a loss of words that prevented him from uttering anything. He turned his head to look at Allison, who was completely silent as she kept her attention fixed on Ethan.
A flash of memory brought him back to Ryan’s few words about Ethan and Allison.
He touched his chest as he felt a slight pain in his heart.
“NEIL!” Ella screamed.
Glen and Wade were holding Neil to keep him from collapsing. Everyone helped him to sit on the couch.
“Please, drink some water, Uncle.” Allison handed a glass of water to Neil.
Neil held the glass and looked at Allison. He thought back to the day when she made him realize how cruelly he had behaved toward Ryan all these years. That day, he felt suspicious. about her defending Ryan. Tonight, when Ryan told him about Allison, he made it abundantly evident that he used to have feelings for Allison.
‘Did I make a big mistake?‘
He thought, and his hand trembled. The water from the glass spilled a little.
Linus checked on him and gave him some medicine.

“You should not put much pressure on yourself mentally. Just calm down.” Linus advised him. He gave Georgiana a thoughtful look before saying,
“We can not afford to waste even a single second. He does not have a lot of free time. The mechanical apparatus will not be able to control the rate of his heartbeat. Since you are a Lunar witch, you are the only one who can save him. You can summon the power directly from the
moon. Please help our Alpha.”
Georgiana gave Ethan her full attention before giving a slight nod. “I will do everything in my power. You all are my old friends. Through my prophecies and cautionary words, I have always- pointed you in the right direction. If it means giving up anything important, I will do everything it takes to ensure the safety of your child. Ethan is like my son, too.”
When everyone heard Georgiana, they all experienced a momentary pause in the activity of their hearts. They believed she would help him. He was so dead that no one could save a dead body. He was still alive, so there was hope.
“Everyone, please leave the room. Let me do my work.” Georgiana said to others.
One by one, everyone left the room to let Georgiana do what she wanted.
She cast a glance in Ethan’s direction before turning to face her mother.
“Mom, please save him. I am aware that you are keeping many of your powers hidden from me. You have the power to save him.”
“Do you believe your mother this much?” She said and stroked her hair.
“Mom, I beg you. For me, save him.”
Elora thought her mother would give her a condition not to go close to Ethan if she saved her. But to her surprise, she replied,
“I will try.”
Elora gave her a warm grin and an embrace. “Thank you very much, Mom.” Then she left the room with her fingers crossed.
Georgiana looked at Ethan as soon as the door had been closed.
Her normally placid expression morphed into one of rage. She hurried over to him and stood beside him.
“How can you still be alive?” She asked him as if he were listening to her and would reply back
The color of her eyes changed. As she directed her gaze toward the man who was lying on the bed, they began to glow.
She bent and leaned toward him. “You should have died when she rejected you. What is it that is keeping your body from releasing its hold on your soul?”
Her silver nails grew to an impressive length. She stroked his face with her nails.
“I lied to my daughter. You are the main thorn in my daughter’s path. She lost her heart to you. in a few days without much interaction. I kept calling her to remind her not to go close to you. But she failed to do that. She can not become a stone heart like her mother. It’s her loss.”
She closed her eyes and chanted a spell before opening her eyes again.
She removed the blanket from his upper body and placed the palms of both hands on his chest.
“Mors tua inevitabilis est.”
Ethan’s body jerked up and fell back to the bed.
Georgiana stepped back with a dark grin on her lips.
“Now, even if they go to someone else, no one can save you. I will tell your parents that I helped you.
But the truth is, I clenched your wolf’s heart inside. You and your wolf will both perish together before the sun rises.”
