HER ALPHA'S CARNAL SINS
Chapter 140: Betrayal

Chapter 140: Betrayal

"Stop moving so much or I can’t... John stop!" Talia sternly yelled when he wouldn’t let her clean his wound— more so touch him.

"John, stop wriggling like a child." Jephthah managed to say. He was on the bed, his knee drawn up, his other leg stretched out Infront of him. His face was shielded with the back of his palm, while his other hand was lying across his bare stomach where a bandage was wrapped around to enable him heal faster

His voice was strained and croaky, he was too weak so he didn’t bother raising his head .

"I want that chic with the gorgeous lips to tend to my wounds." John wined, politely refusing Talia’s attempt to clean his wound and bandage it.

Talia’s brows furrowed.

"Ugh! You’re such a conceited whore. We’re in the middle of a serious situation, and all you care about is hitting on her."

Liliana came in at that moment.

"I brought extra bandages." She said as she walked in, sitting on the space beside John.

His eyes shimmered as he moved close to her while Talia rolled her eyes, giving up on him already.

"Hey," Liliana turned to him and spotted the blistering wound on his chest; Almost like a dagger had gone through it. "Do you mind helping me with this."

"Oh my goodness," She gasped, running her hands over the wound while John bit his lip, staring at her. She turned to Talia. "Why haven’t you cleaned his wounds yet? It could be infected!"

Talia just sighed frustratingly.

"Can you help me?" John asked innocently, winking at her.

Liliana blushed, and Talia rolled her eyes again, focusing her attention on Jephthah.

As she crawled close to him on the bed, she heard John said,

"We’ll be back guys. Figured out you’d need privacy."

"Huh?" Talia turned in time to see John leading a confused Liliana out the door holding the iodine and bandages.

Her eyebrows twitched, but she made no move to go after them. After all, they had limited time to rest before the Kitsunes strike again, and she was sure this time, they needed to give it their all if they wanted to live.

Jephthah slowly removed his arm, wincing slightly as Talia crawled in the sheets with him, snaking her leg into the blankets and placing her head on his chest, her hand braced against his stomach.

"What’s wrong?" He softly asked, spooning her, after placing a deep kiss on her hair, just close to her forehead.

Talia sighed and looked down, staring at the bandage wrapped around him.

"Nothing’s wrong."

He could hear the muffled cry as she mumbled. Cupping her cheek, he titled her head up so that they were staring into each other’s eyes.

"You know it’s just me and you here, right?"

She nodded, and he saw the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Let it all out Talia. I’m here for you, you know that, right?"

She nodded again before collapsing on his chest, her tears rolling down her cheeks in several streams of water, wetting his chest and her colar.

His hand soothingly stroked her hair.

"It’s just... everything’s not the same anymore. I want everything to go back to normal, but I know I’m asking much... I know it’s not going to be easy, but we’ve lost a lot of lives... I don’t know where Royce is, I don’t even know ... I’ve called Brittany, and she said they left hours ago, but they’re yet to arrive, and I’m just scared they didn’t make it. Daniel hasn’t arrived either, and Nancy," she wailed again, burying her face In the crook of his chest. "She doesn’t even know who I am anymore... she tried to kill me Jephthah. And now everyone’s wounded including you, and the Kitsunes, and the attacks, and Alpha Henry... " She became so tired, her upper lids began to droop until her words turned slurred, and her tears stopped dropping.

Jephthah lay there, patiently listening to her, feeling his heart clench at tears, wanting to stop her, yet bore the pain and listened to her until she slept off.

Once she did, he leaned down to see her sleeping face stained with tears, nestled on his chest.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, she stopped to rest from the run, her hands on her knee, the other cupped around her chest, breathing hard with fresh tears running down her eyes.

Just when she was taking her last breaths before dropping on the floor to ponder on her life, she felt a prescence behind and turned. Her face paled, and her throat ran dry of saliva as she stared into his cold blue eyes, glaring at her with so much hate and anger.

"Daniel." She uttered, before the unexpected happened. He pushed her.

Time slowed down to a maximum, moving at an incredibly slow motion as her hand sprawled at her sides, tears slowly running down her eyes, sprawling at her sides and not down her cheeks due to the fall. Her eyes were lifted up, trying to assure herself that this was a dream, and she was not just being pushed off a cliff by Daniel.

But even as she landed on the cold ground, the pain on her back numb due to the pain of betrayal she felt, those cold blue eyes were still up there, staring right down at her, not even blinking as she fell to her death.

The last few tears fell across her eyes, down the side of her face, as her eyes closed painfully.

Back at Dark Risers’s pack, Daniel was talking with one of the pack warriors he had left in charge of the pack.

Almost everything in the pack had been burnt to the ground, leaving only ashes, blood and darkness, a trail of bloodlust lingering on the air.

No one was In sight except the two men.

"I’ll be heading back to the fields. I have an important meeting to attend," the warrior nodded In understanding. "Thank you for your consistency in protecting my pack members. You’ll be duly rewarded when this is all over."

With that, he turned away and left.

The warrior went back to the Alpha’s mansion which was still standing strong and untouched amongst the rubbles, However the Interior of the house had been damaged beyond repair. Going downstairs, underground where the Omegas’ quarters were situated previously, he shut the door behind him, only to join the rest down.

There, all the surviving pack members, including Marcy, and people from Daniel’s school were huddled up In the room which had kept them safe during the attack.

Once the warrior entered, they all stared up at him with different emotions in their eyes.

Feat, apprehensiveness, Fierceness, but they almost breathed a sigh of relief when they recognized him as one of them.

Marcy ran to him. She had a burning mark at the side of her face, yet a Fierce look in her eyes as she questioned him.

"Where is he?"

"He left Beta Marcy."

Marcy sighed, breathing out in relief. A child began crying in the room, and she dutifully went over to help the she-wolf mother.

A while later, the warriors who had been escorted by Daniel previously, returned with new clothes, food and water which could serve the entire pack members for some days.

Marcy hurriedly found a napkin amongst the pile and changed the baby’s clothes after wiping her. As she did so, her lip drew up into a painful smile as she remembered how she cleaned her babies when they messed up themselves.

She wished there was a phone reliable enough to call Brittany.

Daniel returned to the fields to see Barton And Dora standing side by side with grave looks on their faces.

"What?" He asked, a bit anxious, his gaze not leaving theirs as he dusted something off his hair.

"We couldn’t find her."

"What do you mean? She couldn’t have gone that far!" Daniel suddenly lost control and yelled.

"Hey!" Barton yelled back. "We searched every f**king nook and cranny. You don’t dare to raise your voice at us, because it’s your f**king fault this happened."

They exchanged cold glances at each other, before Dora hurriedly said, Hoping they won’t start fighting again.

"The Kitsunes have her."

Like she wanted, they turned to her, stepping away from each other.

"What do you mean? How do you know that?"

"A Kitsune was raining fire on your pack, but just before you arrived, it suddenly disappeared, didn’t it?"

"Yeah, so?"

"It disappeared at the same time Naomi did... Can’t you tell?"

As she said that, the god of silence seemed to reign amongst them as Daniel stepped back In realization.

"No... " he whispered, more to himself than them, but they heard him.

"I... I... " he stared up at the two, and hated the sympathy in their eyes. It was his fault, but they could only sympathize with him. "I lost her before, and I admit it was my fault... I..

I can’t loose Naomi again... No!" He yelled and fell to the ground, fisting his hand in his hair.

"We’ll head to Ruby Stone’s pack. So far everyone’s there, including Alpha Henry. The Kitsunes are bound to come there." Barton added.

Daniel stared at something unseen on the grass before fisting his hand on the ground.

"I’ll tear everyone of them apart."
