THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 200

Chapter 0200

RHEA’S POV.

“Get on your feet and start moving!” The guard who walks into the room barks, but I’m too weak and stunned to move.

…you will be punished for your crimes…

Those words are still ringing in my mind. The wild look in his eyes spoke a hundred unspoken promises to me when he said those words to me.

Promises to make my life a living hell. Promises to make me go through suffering ten times worse than anything I’ve put Ashanti through. This is the end for me. That reality makes me feel like I’ve been struck in the chest with a lightning bolt.

I still have one question in my mind.

How?

How the fuck did they trace all of this to me?

“If you make me repeat myself, you won’t like what will happen to you.‘

“Leave us.” A feminine voice orders and the next thing I hear is heels clicking on the floor. My composure dissipates when I look up and see Alina approaching the table with a bright smile on her face.

alina.” I call as I eagerly rise to my feet. The guard has left us and the door has been shut. Alina you are here.” I breathe with relief. A smile even dares to form on my face.

beal.

If Alina is here then everything is going to be alright. She’s going to get me out of here.

“I’m here.” She pulls out the chair across from me and sits down. “Sit down.” She says and I prop on my seat. Energy is coursing through me with such vigour I have never felt before. I feel relieved. So relieved, it makes me want to laugh.

For a moment I thought it was over for me.

I place my cuffed hands on the table and lean closer to her.

“Did you run into Alpha Reagan on your way here?” a ridge forms between her eyebrows as she gives me a confused look.

“No. Why?” She asks blankly.

“Well…” I sigh heavily. “He was here a while ago and he gave me a good scare.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“He told me he had evidence to prove that I’m the one involved in the poisoning and that I’ll be punished for my crimes. The only evidence he could have is CCTV footage which you said you’d make sure no one gets a hold of. I don’t know if he has it at all. And if he does, I don’t know how he got a hold of it. The girls must have ratted me out when they were being interrogated.” I’m talking so fast, I wonder if she can hear a word I just said. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I’m nervous and scared.

I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t want to be hanged in public. This has got to be a mistake.

‘Alina, you can get me out of this, right?” I ask her with hope–filled eyes. The emotionless expression on her face has not changed. Compared to how chatty she can get when she has a plan to destroy Ashanti in mind, she’s very quiet and I wonder why. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” I reach out for her hands with mine, but she dodges and leans back on her chair. My heart misses a beat.

What was that?

“Rhea you need to calm down. You are saying too many things at once. I can’t even keep up with you. Relax.” I try to relax on my seat to no avail. My heart is beating too fast, my body is too hot, my stomach is flipping in and out and I feel like there’s a volcano about to erupt within me. I risk facing a death sentence because of what the two of us planned and did. I can’t keep calm.

I watch in terror as she picks her pristine manicure without any care in the world. It feels like to her, I’m not in this room at all. My fear and nervousness have no effect whatsoever on her.

lina.” I call her name and she looks up at me. “What do you have to say about this situation?”

“What I have to say is that it’s pretty bad.” She says carelessly. Heat–like oil splatters all over my face and I go numb.

“What do you mean by that?”

“The crime you’re being accused of is too serious. If I try to get you out, I’ll be dragging myself in. I can’t let that happen.”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” My voice is a broken whisper.

“It means you’ll be taking the fall for what we did.” The fluid tone of her voice makes me go limp. I blink and stars explode and a new torture rages through my limbs. I start shaking my head in complete denial.

“No. No. No, no, no,no.“/1 cry within short, heavy breaths. “You can’t do this. I can’t take the fall for this. Alina, someone died. I’ll be convicted for murder. I could be sentenced to death and hanged in public!” My voice rises with each word and I’m yelling by the end of the sentence. Alina, however, is as calm as a wave.

She looks unbothered by my current predicament and the prospect of me being hanged in public if she doesn’t help me out.

I stare at her in total disbelief. Reality taps wine on my face.

She’s not going to help me. She doesn’t care.

She smirks at me and says;

“I don’t care.”
