Chapter 0240 , ZAIA. , “My patience is gone, and I don’t want to resort to any harsh methods, but I will if I have to,” I warn dangerously, my eyes flashing as I look over at Annalise. “Who was the person you talked to back in Atticus’s pack on New Year’s Eve?” , It’s the following day and although I did not get any sleep, it didn’t stop me from doing what’s needed. I hate that I had to make Jai work so soon, but I had sent him to Dad’s pack to question the guards and staff around Mom’s home. , A postmortem would be carried out to see what injuries she had been dealt and hope we get an idea of when they snuck into Mom’s home. , Our home… , By her final words, it was clear they wanted to know about the Moon Dust. That would be my second goal of the day after this visit to Annalise. , “I don’t remember!” She says in an extremely , Strassed–out voice. , “You do!” I growl, slamming my fist onto the table. , She flinches, her heart thumping as she stares at me fearfully. , I know my eyes are as orange as my hair and I know I’m being harsher than normal, but I have no option. Kindness did not get me far., “I… I don’t… it… Gaspard! It was Gaspard!” , She’s still lying…. , I can tell from the way her eyes are darting around the room that she just said his , name on impulse. , I sit back. “I know you can’t mention the name of the person behind it all as it can , affect you and the baby… So how about this? I will ask a few questions, Annalise. A , yes and no can work… I’m sure that can get us past the magic.” I say thoughtfully. , hoping it did. , “The man you spoke to is the same man you could not mention when you said you. , were told to pretend you were kidnapped, correct?” , She purses her lips before she looks down, then back at me. , That’s a yes… , “Do I know this person? I ask. , Her lips tremble, and her heartbeat races, but she doesn’t reply. , “Ok, you can’t say… , She stares stubbornly to the side, stroking her stomach, and I stand up. “The moment the baby is born, it will be taken from you and you will serve a proper sentence,” I say coldly as I stand up., She simply stares off to the side, and I turn about to leave the room when I look back , at her. , “I met Zade, my brother… he killed my mother. As for our father… he’s missing.” , I’m terrified… terrified that what if Zade has forced him to give him the Alpha title. Maybe something has happened to Dad, and I won’t know because he’s done the , same ritual with Zade and that would override the first one- , Stop Zaia. , My heart is thumping and even she’s tensed at my words, and I know although she is not his biological daughter, she is still his daughter. , “Wait, what happened to Dad? Is Mom ok?!” she asks, panicking. , “She is for now, but the way things are going, everyone is in danger.” I remind her. We need the answers, and you need to reevaluate whose side you are on because , they will kill anyone who is of no use to them or those who defy them.” , “They won’t kill me! I’m carrying a baby! Gaspard won’t let them!” , “And what power does Gaspard hold?” , Her heart skips a beat, and I look at her suspiciously. , 15 BONUS , “Gaspard…” He is from Dad’s pack, and Mom mentioned a boy…, Could it be? , The puzzle contains a thousand pieces and I keep finding more that do not fit. , “What power does Gaspard hold, Annalise?” I ask, now turning to face her fully. , She remains silent, and my eyes flash. “Answer me if you are not bound by magic!” I , say, my alpha command rippling through me. , “He is important to them!” she shouts, her eyes flashing and her heart thumps as she , realises she’s answered me. , So that at least rules out the fact Gaspard was definitely not the one in Atticus’s pack. , “Important… everyone has a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, everyone. becomes collateral. Just like the Rogue Alpha was.” , “What do you mean?” she asks. , “I killed Olivan, and none of his so–called allies came to protect him, and when I find Gaspard… he too will suffer the same fate as Olivan, I am done playing nice.” , “You’ve changed… What happened to you?” she asks, curiosity and fear in her eyes. I raise an eyebrow. “I lost my patience. I trusted far too many… now it’s time for the Alpha within me to end this. I will give you one final warning, Annalise… choose your side carefully because the Sublime will win this.” , With those words I shut the door, not waiting for a reply as I make my way out of her new room in the prison facility. She’ll be given everything she needs here, but I can’t risk not having her in prison., SURPERISE GIFT: 3000 bonus free for you.activity time is limited! , Komentar , Vote (640x) , GET IT , ☐ 15 BONUS , Chapter 0241, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
