Chapter 78: He Could Be Dead!

“Pardon?” I asked, my hand reaching up to my neck, running over the cold chill that was chasing down my spine.

“I don’t think you want beyond Alpha to the countless other bodies that loitered the halls, left behind by the turmoil and destruction that was Havoc.

to know.” Sage added, and my eyes closed as I looked away:

I watched my mates walk the direction my Alpha lay, lifeless and alone and had to agree with Sage;

I didn’t want to know. But I had to!

“Are you coming?” Kane asked over his shoulder, his eyes boring into mine. needily.

“No, love. Your brother needs you!” I nodded with a small smile.

“But I need YOU!” He whined, a smile slipping across my lips at the tenderness in his tone, something he rarely shared with me, although I knew it was there.

守.57%真 “I am not going anywhere, Ace!” I offered. Truthfully, I wanted to follow them. and be at their side, but I didn’t trust myself to hide whatever Sage was about to tell me from my face. They would have enough suffering to wade through when the reality of everything hit them; if I could give them some answers, did I not owe it to them? To those who I loved.

Sucking down a sob, I watched Knox’s legs buckle from under him as he saw the body of his father.

The howl that left their lips shattered what strength I had left, sending me to my ass as I crouched and buried my face in my hands, unable to bear the despair I felt my mate’s feeling, the guilt and utter ruin drowning them both.

“Tell me.” I moaned to Sage, who, like me, was suffering from the overwhelming emotions sliding through the bond. We both wanted to do more, but we knew they had to face this together, for them, but also to show the pack that their brotherly bond was intact! And if Kane trusted Knox, they had to as well! Sage and I were here, right behind them and at the slightest sight they needed me, I would be there. Always!

“What happened?” I heard Knox say, and I compelled my legs to work as I switched on autopilot and lifted to my feet. Needing to give them some space, but ! also had a feeling I would need it so I could think and process whatever bomb Sage was about to drop in my lap.

“Sebastian was who the hit was for!”

“Pardon?” I gibed, “Sebastian is an Alpha with royal blood and ancient Lycan ties; a hit on him would be suicide!” I gasped; his power and reach were beyond Chapter 76 He Could Be Dead!

anything anyone here had. It made no sense.

“Char, Mike told Knox everything; apparently, the debt he had agreed to was to kill Sebastian. Once Mike did it, he would get his payment..”

“So when Havoc saw Sebastian…” Sage said with a heavy sigh that had my heart sinking. “He acted.”

“But Kane, Knox and I were trying to find a way around the debt; none of us wanted anyone to die.

We wanted to find out the facts and bring them to justice.” I expressed my heart in my throat.

“I know, and so does Havoc; he just felt compelled to… kill him.” Sage defended, and I hated that we were even having this conversation, that she was so calm over discussing the death of our Alpha at the hands of our mate.

“When Mike told Knox earlier..” Sage started to say, and suddenly, the penny dropped. My jaw falling open in shock.

“Earlier?” I questioned, pausing in my pacing to look over at Knox, second–guessing him for a minute. Had he known about who the hit was for the whole time sinc leaving Mike’s room?

“Yes.” Sage whimpered, picking up on my darkening mood.

Chapter 75 He Could Be Dead “If people know about that, if they find out that Knox knew about the hit on Sebastian and that he was who Havoc intended to kill…even if he failed” I processed quickly, my head feeling like a conveyor belt going a million miles an hour.

“Shit!” I roared in my head to myself.

“They won’t!” Sage maintained, but how could she know? How could any of us know?

“You don’t know that, Sage, neither of us do; we didn’t see him with Sebestain, we didn’t see Alpha fall, we have no idea what happened, but what if people saw Havoc making a beeline for Sebestain.. if they did..we are fucked! We will have WAR, Sage!” I snapped, running my hand down my face, surprised to feel the tears. coating my palm.

“Charlotte?” Kane asked, his tone filled with concern. Nodding to him without answering, I kept replaying the night in my mind, trying desperately to find an image, a memory of Alpha.

“Are you ok?” I heard Knox ask through the link, and I smiled, hating how much they comforted me.

Turning to look at them, I nodded again, this time with more determination than I felt.

“I am just processing.” I admitted, and it was true. I was! Just not what they |||

thought I was.

“No one knows Char, just me, you and Knox.” Sage tried to reassure me, and I wanted to believe her. Honestly, I did. However, there was one more wild card we needed to consider…

Havoc!

“And Havoc?” I asked, exhausted from the night and the pain that was still rippling through my shoulder. Have you seen how unpredictable he is.. what is to stop him from seizing control and trying again?” I asked as, yet again, I felt the shame and responsibility ate at me.

“Havoc won’t be making any appearances, Char.. he is.. broken!”

“Don’t we fuckin know it!” I snapped, regretting it instantly.

If the circumstances were different, and the first time I met Knox’s wolf wasn’t when he was on a murderous rampage, killing my Alpha and trying to kill my mate and his twin, I had a feeling I might like the giant fucker! He was cute.. in a.. mangey kind of way.

“Char! He didn’t mean to kill Sebastian.” Sage tried to explain, but again I cut her off.

Chapter 78 He Could Be Dead!

“But he didn’t kill him!” I expressed, shaking my head, “We would know if one of the bodies that lined this floor was Sebastian, for one of the men he brought with him would be in here killing us all and for two… Lilly, his mate, would sense it.

“They have no wolves, char… He could be… dead!”
