Chapter 153 If You Want My Life, Rosalie, Then Take it **Madalynnâs POV I was so close. My guys almost got her.
They were supposed to bring her to me, and I could almost feel my claws sinking into that stupid bitch Rosalie. F*cking tramp. I had lost everything because of her. I was going to make her pay. I was going to rip her heart out in front of Ethan and devour it like a gourmet meal.
But I came up short and I lost a few of my best b*tches.
I had to retreat to make sure that I didnât lose my life. F*cking Ethan! He ruined it for me. Again!
I should have known, though. That fool was head over heels for her, even if he had lost his soul and taken on red eyes.
He had befallen the same fate as I hadâkarma really is a bitch.
For weeks, we had been watching Rosalieâs forces, and I thought this time we were going to get her.
Why did everyone work against me and help that worthless nobody? I just couldnât f*cking get it.
Igasped in pain as the doctor changed the bandage on my side.
âWatch your freaking hands! Donât you know how to treat your f*cking patient right?â | snarled.
One of the wolves with Ethan had gotten me good, and even though I took down many of Rosalieâs warriors, I was no match for the power of those with Ethan.
Perhaps once I got rid of Rosalie, he would see who the stronger wolf was. Then he would beg me to be his queen. A Rogue King and his Rogue Queen.
The idea was one that brought amusement to my eyes, but at the same time, there was no way I would agree after everything he had done to me.
Iâd rather see him slowly die beneath my claws.
âMadalynn!â a voice called from the front of my tent, bringing me back to realization.
âWhat?â | snapped as my eyes darted towards the figure of one of my rogues.
He hesitated for a moment as disgust smeared itself across his face. âSomeone is here to see you.â
âTell him Iâm busy.â Annoyance filled me, knowing someone would dare to interrupt me after the battle I had just gone through. I wasnât in the mood to deal with anyoneâs bullshit.
Standing to my feet, I made my way from the tent, however I came face to face with one of Jamesâ
guys.
âYou have a lot of balls coming here,â I smirked. âI should kill you now and send your head back to James on a platter.â
Rolling his eyes, he sighed, âEnough, Madalynn. I have an updated offer to give you.â
He held out a rolled up parchment in his hand, and quickly, I snatched it. A huff of irritation left him at my actions.
I unrolled the parchment and quickly glanced over the words inside.
James was more of a pathetic fool than I thought him to be.
âYour king is really desperate, huh?â | sneered at the messenger.
He ignored my comment and exited the room after making sure that Iâd gotten the message. âI will be back in two Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 153 11 You Want My He Rosalie Then take it days for your response,â he said.
Laughter escaped my lips as I shook my head. Tossing the letter into a small trunk on the table, I grabbed a small green vial and downed the contents. The warming liquid of the herbs rejuvenates me with excessive force, the power of the magical herbs running through my veins like a wildfire.
My eyes glanced down at the parchment with curiosity as I twirled it over in my fingers.
âAre you really just going to let him go?â the man next to me snapped.
Glancing up at him, a smile crossed my lips as my hand darted out, gripping his throat.
âAre you f*cking questioning me, wolf? I would highly suggest you rethink that action.â
His eyes widened at my tone, and quickly, he shook his head. âNo, Iâm sorry.â
Irritated by his weakness, I let go and took the parchment, walking back into my tent.
âMadalynn, the scouting group is ready for your command!â my second called out through the open tent, causing a smile to crest my lips.
âWonderful. Nightfall is approaching, and we have much work to do.â
**Ethanâs POV âWhat is it, Talon?â I asked him as he came inside of the tent.
âAlpha⦠I want to talk to you about Rosalie.â He stood in front of my desk, his hands folded in front of him.
âShe asked to leave again?â | roared.
âNo.â Talon shook his head.
âHer people found us?â
âNo.â
âThen what the f*ck do you want?â
Talon was taken aback a little, but he was quickly back to his normal self.
| pinched the bridge of my nose.
Recently, my temper had been short. Talon had been a loyal friend and subordinate. It wasnât necessary for me to have said what I said. âSorry, man. Yes, Rosalie, what about her?â
I could tell he was a bit worried about me, but he didnât comment on that. Instead, he went on with his report. âIt has been three daysâ¦â he started.
| almost burst out roaring at him again for bringing this up, but I managed to control my volume. I reminded him, âWeâve talked about this, Talon. I know that you, Vicky, and Georgia are concerned about me keeping her in the tent, but this is whatâs best for her at the moment.â
Rosalie⦠even the thought of her made my heart heavy. Why wasnât she feeling the matebond like I was? Why was she fighting me at every turn? Why wouldnât she just listen?
âI understand that, sir, but thatâs not what I wanted to tell you.â
My eyebrows arched as I studied his face. âWhat is it then?â I asked him, pressing down my frustration.
He cleared his throat. âLong story short, Rosalie hasnât been eating. Every meal we take to her, she sends back untouched. It doesnât matter what it is or who brings it to her. Even when itâs Georgia, and she reminds her that itâs important that she keep her strength, for the baby, Rosalie still wonât eat it.
She just sits there, staring at the wall of the tent, like sheâs in a trance.â
Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 53 di You Want My After the whole then take I could feel my fury building up How could she be that stubborn and irresponsible? 1 restricted her freedorn to protect her. Why couldnât she understand that?
*Itâs not healthy, Ethan. And we are worried about her. She wonât be able to keep feeding the baby if she doesnât start eating, not to mention clearly sheâs struggling right now.â With that, he stopped talking, taking a deep breath and letting it out, like he was glad Iâd let him say all of that.
I pondered the situation for a minute, *F*ck.â I muttered, slamming my hands down on the desk I was sitting at. âIâll go talk to her.â
âDo you think â Talon stopped as I rose from my chair. I met his eyes and waited. âNothing.â He shook his head.
âWhat?â I asked, wondering what heâd been about to say.
âJust⦠do you think itâs for the best if youâre the one to talk to her, Ethan? I mean⦠sheâs unhappy with you.â He shrugged, and I knew it wasnât easy for him to say that to me.
Meeting his eyes, I said, âIâm the one who upset her, so Iâm the one who needs to speak to her. Iâll talk some sense into her.â
Talon had a skeptical look on his face as I walked past him to the tent door.
Perhaps he was right, and I wasnât the best person for this job, but obviously, no one else had been able to persuade Rosalie either.
Thad avoided going to her tent because I wasnât sure whether I could resist my desire for my mate. Iâd tried my best not to force her, but it had been getting harder.
I couldnât understand why, after all the difficulties we had gone through together, she just couldnât accept me into her life?
Two guards stood outside of Rosalieâs tent. They both made the sign of respect to me as I approached, and I gave them a wave of my hand to say that wasnât necessary.
Opening the tent door, I walked in, my eyes falling immediately on Rosalieâs face. Talon was right. She was sitting on the cot, her knees pulled up to her chest with her arms wrapped around them.
She didnât even look at me when I came in. Her eyes were still locked on the tent wall across from her. I wasnât even sure if she was blinking.
âRosalie?â I called her name, but she didnât turn to look at me. She was wearing the same clothes sheâd had on the day before when Iâd come in, sweatpants, a large Tâshirt, and thick wool socks that went almost to her knees.
She looked sexy in anything, and even with her messy hair piled on top of her head, I wanted to go to her and take her in my arms, but thatâs not what she wanted right now.
âRosalie,â I said, closing the distance between us. âI hear youâre not eating. Listen, youâve got to eat.
What about the baby? If you donât eat, he canât eat.â
She still didnât look up at me.
Talon was rightâshe really was in a trance.
Dropping to my knees, I leaned against the cot, hoping sheâd acknowledge that I was there, but she didnât turn her head.
âRosalie?â I said again. This time, I had to work really hard to make myself sound calm.
I took a deep breath and put my hand on her shoulder. âI know that youâre angry at me, but you have to trust me that itâs for the best.â
Rubbing her back, I leaned closer to her face, willing her to just turn her head a little. She didnât.
I lifted my hand to her hair, gently tugging on a loose curl, but she continued to ignore me. Even when I ran my hand across her cheek, she didnât turn to face me.
Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 153 If You Want My Life, Rosalie, Then Take it Her sweet scent filled my nostril, and I had to fight hard against the desire to claim her and mark her right there. But at the same time, her behavior started to get on my nerves, Ileaned closer to her so that my face was in front of hers. âRosalie?â I said again. âCan you hear me?â
She blinked then, and her eyes came to focus on mine. At that moment, I felt my heart flutter in my chest just at the eye contact. A small smile pulled at the corners of my mouth.
âThere you are,â I said. âEverything is going to be okay, I promise. I love you, Rosalie.â
I leaned forward to kiss her, but a flash of her hand and the feel of cold metal against my chest had me pausing a few inches from her lips.
Glancing down, I saw that sheâd pulled a blade on me. A silver knife gleamed in the lamplight. She had it pressed against my chest, right above my heart Shocked, I met her eyes again. I realized that was the knife I brought in along with her birthday lunch.
She said nonchalantly, âYou say you love me, Ethan, but Iâm your prisoner here.â
âYouâre not my prisoner. If you promise me that you wonât run away, then you will have all the freedom you want. Iâm just trying to protect you.â
Her eyes narrowed. âIf you truly loved me, Ethan, youâd let me leave. You wouldnât be keeping me here against my will when you know how badly I want to leave!â
It wouldâve been easy for me to grab her wrist and pull the knife out of her grip. I was much stronger than her, and she was weaker than normal from not eating But at that moment, I didnât care. With Rosalie angry at me, with the state of how everything was at the moment⦠part of me didnât even care anymore.
âIf you want my life, Rosalie, then take it. You already have my heart You may as well have all of me.
With that, I leaned forward to press my lips against hers with the knife still pointing against my skin.
As my lips pressed against her warm, still mouth, a sharp pain radiated through my chest, and the scent of blood filled the air, but I didnât care.
I continued to push myself forward.
Her delicious pink lips were calling for me and I was so desperate for her that nothing else mattered
