Chapter 90

Rhea

“Aron, stop” I call for him. The worry and terror rise higher.

I follow him outside his office; he doesn’t pay any mind to me, not a bit. I run down the stairs behind him as panic grows in my throat. I don’t know what he’ll do once he finds Kovas, and that is what I’m terrified about. Kovas shouldn’t be paying the price of knowing what I know

“He told me because I asked him to my words come out as a plea, almost. “It’s not his fault. I wanted to know”

1 almost reach for his arm, but I don’t have to as he comes to a complete halt in front of me just down the stairs. He turns, and his eyes have only anger and betrayal in them.

“How long?” he demands from me.

“What?” I blink and take a step closer to him, but then I stop, as if afraid to even breathe too loudly to make him snap at me and hurt me.

I know Aron will ne

never do it, not ever.

But this isn’t Aron. This is someone else, Kael.

“It’s been a while. A few weeks-

“Weeks

“I asked him to tell me. Aron, please. My tone turns into a begging one. I don’t want him to hate or hurt Kovas for something I wanted. Im the one to blame here.

He takes a step back. “Stay here.

“Don’t

My chest rises and drops as I watch him go outside from the front door. It’s all too sudden for me to do anything I can’t stop hirn. He’s already gone before I can even blink. I bite down on my lip hard, avoiding the temptation of letting my tears fall.

I messed up.

Fuck

My hand

goes against my chest as if it will somehow calm down the heart inside. He’s going to go to kovas, straight to him, to wherever he is, and he’s going to hurt him. Maybe even kill him.

Kovas warned me before.

“Rhea” Marcella walk tops in front of me

in the foyer and towards me. I still there, still staring at the front doors. “What’s wrong?” She

I narrow my eyes and look away from the door. If I can’t stop Aron, I can at least warn Kovas that he’s coming.

“Where’s Kova?” I ask quickly. There is a hint of desperation and urgency in my voice, enough to show her how much I’m in a panic at the moment.

She frowns. “What happened? I heard you two argue. What’s going on?”

Chapter 900

I try

to even my breathing as much as I can. My voice is a little steadier. “Where is he? Tell me, Marcella.

“What’s wrong?”

“I need to-“My words cut off when I see the phone far inside the hall. “Do you have his number? I make my way towards the Landline phone on the desk.

Marcella follows behind, she nods, and I waste no time in asking for the mumber. She recites it for me, and I dial it up before bringing the receiver to my car. It takes a moment, and I have to close my eyes to even my racing heart. I try to calm down. I try to relax, to focus and get a hold of mysell

Hello-

“Aron knows that you told me, I quickly say, wasting no time. “He figured it out, and he’s angry. And he just left to find you. He’s going to do something.” The fear rises in my voice as the last words leave my lips.

“Fuck,” he mutters. “When did it happen?”

Just a couple of minutes. He just left the manor. My voice shakes as I talk to him.

He takes a pause, and there’s a long silence on the other end of the line. I can only imagine his mind going through the same thoughts that mine did.

Tl handle Karl I’ve known him for a very long time, but once he can’t reach me, he’ll come for you, and to him. this betrayal. You have to find a way to leave the manor, Rhea. Don’t stay there-

HI

“No, I can’t I quickly shake my

head at

the sound of that. I’ll talk to him. He’ll listen to me.”

“Not after this. No.” he pauses, “You have to leave because he will end up hurting you if you don’t.” The way he says those words. I know he’s right, but I don’t want to leave.

I can’t

“Rhea, listen to me. For as long as he’s Kael, he won’t think twice before punishing you or me for this. You’re his mate, and you know his darkest secret, and him, you’ve been lying to him for weeks. And that’s something that doesn’t sit well with him. I can sense the seriousness of his situation.

“He won’t hurt me

I’ll take my chances and fight him off. With the attack on Redhollow tonight, he will spare me out of it. He can’t risk fighting me before a battle. He’ll not do it to me, but he’ll do it to you.” He’s quiet for a second, as if giving it a thought. “I’ll figure out something to get back at him. But Rhea, right now, for you, you need to get away. Don’t stay in that house. You hear me?” I can hear his footsteps in the background, as if running or walking somewhere. “Get out of there.

My heart skips a beat at the sound of that, but I know, somewhere inside, I know he’s right

The call drops after that, and I’m left standing with the phone in my hand, unable to form a word out of the fear in my

chest.

going on, Rhea?” Marcella questions me. I’m sure she has heard most of it. She can see the worry in my eyes. “What is he saying to your Why is he telling you to leave?“

The words get stuck in my throat.

I don’t want to tell her. That’s the last thing I want to do, bring her into this. But there’s no way I can leave without her knowing, and she’ll stop me if she knows about it.

“Rhears

Chapter 90

“It’s, it’s nothing.” I take a step back away from the phone, my heart thunders in my ears. I’m going to my room”

She won’t understand. No, she won’t. She doesn’t know, and it’s better if she doesn’t know about it.

As I head up the stairs, I feel her eyes trailing me, and when I glance back at her, I find that I’m correct. Taking a deep breath, I make it back to my room before closing the door shut.

My hand goes against my chest in a wave of despair. It feels like the room is getting smaller, and there’s little to no space for me to breathe or move or think.
