Chapter 145 An Enquiry
Chapter 142
Rosa's POV
Lyra!” Ryder called out.
I watched as he quickened his steps towards me.
Anger brewed in me like a fresh wine. I balled my fingers, squeezed my brow, my eyes laced with fury as I gazed at him from head to toe.
The kind of eye I was looking at Ryder like the earth should open up and swallow him.
Backstabber!
I wanted to ask him what he was doing here at first but it was my business after all. The last time I checked, Alpha Vexhood was still his father.
He marched towards me.
So you are here to confess all your sins to my father?” He said,
“Sins?" I asked, letting out a bitter laughter, you are the one that is supposed to go to that shrine over there and ask the moon goddess for forgiveness…"
Forgiveness for what?” The voice bellowed behind Ryder.
Everywhere stood still. Alpha Vexhood stood far off.
I quickly changed composure. Ryder stood still, facing me but backing his father.
From where Alpha Vexhood stood, he tried to read the air, what was wrong. He paused a bit.
Ryder countenance changed. The anger in his face quickly disappeared. His body became rigid for a minute,
Then he turned to face Alpha Vexhood. He quickly reached for my hand. His palm felt like a spike entering my body. My body became not because of anything but because of the hate I nursed against him recently.
“Nothing much father," Jax replied, as he turned towards his Father. His face plastered with a fake smile. Just a little stuff we are ironing out.”
Oh! That's fine,"Alpha Vexhood replied.
Fine?
Just like that…
Alpha Vexhood that you can't lie to? Alpha Vexhood that can accurately tell you the next thought from your heart before you even think of it.
No! Is something wrong here? Or am I the one overthinking it. Stupid would not have read that. He is only good at sleeping with caramel, who is sent to an early afterlife.
I watched Alpha Vexhood, as he closed the distance between us. He was limping, resting his weight slightly on his totem. That should be a big issue. Everyone can limp.
‘You ask me to show up here the holy one,”
I could see anxiety on the face of Ryder huge enough that a knife could cut.
First and foremost you have lost direction and purpose.”
The word hit me hard. If he was just anyone I would fired back with rage.
That he should take that back. While I was just trying to live by in the palace, with Jax who doesn't like me, whose heart was always glue to his heart robe, and I was doing everything to pave way for your son, he was in another pack, getting busy to penetrate holes between all she-wolf legs she come across.
But I kept quiet.
How? Your honor? I have always been committed to the goals ahead.” I replied sheepishly.
Noo… you are not …"Alpha Vexhood quickly countered, his totem hitting the floor as he closed the distance between us.
You have completely lost focus…”
Myself and Ryder quickly exchanged glances. Then he tightened his grip around my hand. A sign that should not let out any secret.
So it means you didn't inform your father about any of your evil deeds.
“… The Omega, I asked you to bring it to me , did you bring it…”
My throat clumped together, word stuck in my mouth
I…I…”
This is not about i…” it is about you losing your focus…” alpha Vexhood countered.
He marched closer to us. His eyes fixated on mine leaving behind Ryder, like he was a saint.
Or… have you found solace in the hand of Jax… so you are compromising the mission?”
Nooo… I swear to Asheteroth the moon goddess… I have not compromised my stance…” I quickly replied, throwing my hands up in the air to show my innocence.
It was alpha Jax… he warned me not to bring a needle to your place, since you and elders ganged up against him to leave him to face all the challenges facing pack,”
The Utterances had hardly left my lips.
Stupid dog! Until he leaves that throne, peace will not sleep and wake with him.”
Alpha Vexhood snapped.
I was terrified.
Since Jax didn't let the omega visit me, does that mean he is sleeping with her?”
“I doubt it, the issue ravaging the pack had made Jax not have time for such.”
I paused a bit exchanging glances with Ryder who had tightened his grip around my hand more not to talk beyond the escalation point.
He hardly touch me?
Touch you?” He wrinkled his face, when the gods have joined you and …”
He cut his word abruptly and looked into Ryder's face.
We hardly have time for each other. Even when I visit him in alpha Dominion's pack. He sleeps with everyone in skirt…”
Father I can explain,”
Shut your trap there…” alpha Vexhood snapped, else …”
I watched as alpha Vexhood jammed his totem on the ground slightly.
He turned back to me gritting his teeth. This time I can't cover Ryder's excess anymore.
He sleeps with different she-wolf to extent that the information got to me that Astra is carrying his heir…”
Alpha Vexhood turned to Ryder who was getting angry
Is that true…”
I can explain father
Enough, no explanation from you…”
“Holy one, I will not lie…” I paused a bit, my voice thickened , so that I could gain sympathy from Alpha Vexhood.
“I am sorry to make this confession…” I paused a bit again and tears started to roll down my eyes. “I had to go to Astra's place to eradicate her.”
You did right thing dear. If I were you I would do worse…”
His utterance shocked me. I knew this is what I want , watching Ryder's ship sinking in front of me In presence of his father , and influenced by his father.
Ryder couldn't speak. I watched our he buried his head into the ground. I didn't even sympathized with him.
He is fool,” alpha Vexhood's voice cut-through like a hot knife through butter.
He can't sacrifice half what you have done for him,"
Alpha Vexhood turned as he was about to walk away.
Yes, less I forget,” he said, the gods told me that Jax is having an affair with someone in the palace, of which will spell doom for everyone.
