Chapter 69
It didn’t come as a surprise when I was in my room pondering on what the healer had said when some guards barged in and arrested me, on the order of Luna.
I did not resist nor complain as I had already expected even worse than that. I had expected her to even feed me poison.
I was thrown in a cell, this time,a different cell, not the same one I had stayed at before.
What did surprise me was when a day after I had been arrested and kept in a cell, Giselle joined me.
“What-”
“Don’t ask,” she said, cutting me off.
“How?”
“Rielle, who else,” she shot out as she laid down properly on the floor.
“Why?, I mean,how?, you are–,” I stuttered.
“The Alpha’s sister? the Beta’s wife?-I guess all that means nothing to her,” she stated and turned her face away from me.
“She said we were rebels. I being an accomplice to murder and associating with a traitor,” she chuckled darkly, and from her voice, it was obvious that she was extremely hurt. She might’ve even been crying and I had a feeling that she didn’t want me to see her in tears.
“And neither Lucien nor Greyson could stop her?” I asked, unable to believe the fact that they would let this happen.
“Mmm,” she muttered softly.
I began to feel bad that I had been suspecting her all these while when indeed we were in the same boat.
“I’m sorry,” I said finally and she nodded without replying.
The room was silent for a while and then she turned around.

I saw her eyes and a pant of guilt hit me. Her eyes were red and swollen, she had been crying because of me.
“I’m sorry,” I muttered and she shook her head.
“There’s nothing for you to be sorry about. You are no traitor, she’s just doing all these to make you suffer and–,” she paused and blinked back tears.
“How are you? Is your ache getting worse?,” she questioned, worry clouding her face and I shook my head.
“I’ve not had the ache since yesterday,” I revealed and she heaved a sigh.
“I’m sorry!,” she said and I shook my head.
“What are you sorry for? It’s not like this is
“On behalf of Lucien..”
your fault.”
“I don’t feel bad about dying, but if I die, I don’t want someone else to take care of my children, but you,” I said and chuckled bitterly.
She shook her head in denial. “Nothing is going to happen to you or your children,” she paused and sat up.
“I spoke to the healer and she promised to do some more research to see what she can do for you,” she revealed and I nodded.
But I had already accepted my fate. I had no idea if I was going to survive as I already knew that there was no way Lucien was going to mate with me.
“I’m surprised that you’re here and she isn’t,” I pointed out and she furrowed her brows.
“Who?”
“The healer. Rielle accused her of lying and being in alliance with me,” I stated and she shook her head.
“That bi tch is psychotic!”
I nodded my head in agreement.
“And Lucien is a fool for getting fooled by her,” she said again and I just nodded,

saying nothing. Even though I wanted to defend him.

Maybe there was something she had told him that got him that fooled, Rielle was after all even more evil than than the most evil demon.

We were asleep when the door suddenly opened and I jolted up awake, my sense heightening with my heart pounding in my chest, as the sound of keys rattling and the creaking of the door echoed through the dimly lit room.
Beside me, Giselle stirred, her eyes widening with a mix of surprise and fear. We exchanged a quick glance and huddled towards each other.
“Who is there?” I called out, trying to mask my fear. It was dark and I couldn’t see who the figure was.
As the cell door swung open, my senses heightened, and adrenaline surged through my veins. I felt Giselle grab my hand, tightening her grip on it.
“Who are you?” I asked again as the figure approached us. Were they friends or foes?
“Who sent you!!” Giselle shot out as we stood up.
Was this the end for us? Had Rielle really come to take our lives? I took a step backward, dragging Rielle with me as the figure advanced towards us.
“Come out,” the person finally spoke and I glanced at Giselle.
It wasn’t a voice I recognized and from the way she kept quiet, I believed she didn’t recognize it either.
“Why?, did Rielle send you?” I shot out!
I at least had a right to know if I was going to die right now and on whose order.
“No, someone else did.”
“Who?,” I swallowed hard.
There were lots of people who wanted me dead. Perhaps, Lucien too and the thought brought a slight ache to my chest.

“I can’t say, but I have orders to escort you out of Silverpine secretly,” he revealed and I glanced at Giselle.
“Do you trust him?,” she whispered and I nodded.
And then realizing that she might not be able to see me. “We have no choice..”
It was either we followed him and maybe ended up dead or Rielle came here and killed us. I’d rather take my chances with this stranger trying to get us out of here.
“Follow me,” he said and I followed his lead, with Giselle trailing behind as we cautiously stepped out of the cell, our movements slow and deliberate.
“Quickly, we don’t have time,” he urged and we quickened our steps.
“Did you kill them?” Rielle asked as we passed some soldiers lying on the floor, unconsciously.
“No. They’re asleep and they’ll be awake soon.”
We followed him in the darkness and went through a secret passageway, where a car was already waiting for us.
As soon as we entered the car, he went to the driver’s seat and immediately started driving.
“Where are we going?” I questioned warily.
“You’ll see,” he replied and Giselle held me tightly.
“I don’t want to die yet,” she whispered, laying her head on my shoulder.
“Me too,” I whispered as I patted her back, to comfort her as I still couldn’t shake off the guilt I was feeling.
I had been suspecting her of being one of Rielle’s people, a spy sent to watch me. But she had been humiliated and arrested instead, for spending time with me.
He pulled up in front of a house and turned to us.
“Get down and go inside. The people inside will help you,” he said and was about to drive off when I suddenly blurted out.
“Are you with the blood creek?”

He seemed taken aback by, my question and I saw his face clearly now. He had a tanned skin and grey eyes. He looked unfamiliar,” I probably have never met him before.
He chuckled and waved at me before driving away.
Giselle grabbed my arm and we trudged to the front of the door.
“Who do you think we’re going to meet inside?,” she asked and I shrugged.
“I have no idea.”

If I were to judge by his smile and reaction, it wouldn’t be the blood creek, maybe someone totally unexpected, Rielle maybe. He could’ve lied.
“I wish it’s not Rielle,” she voiced out my thoughts and before I could say anything, the door opened and my breath hitched in my chest before I could say anything.
“Amara!,” She whispered and I ran into her embrace.
“Eve,” I whispered, wrapping my arms around her.

“How did yoù she quickly pulled away and I saw her glaring at Giselle.
“Who–” He paused as he saw Giselle first and then his eyes darted to me.
Eve glared at me and from her eyes, I could tell that she was p issed off about Giselle being here.
“I—-um,” Giselle stuttered. She had probably understood that Eve was pis sed off over her presence.
“Let’s talk,” Eve turned to me as Norman just kept gazing at her.
She walked to the driveway and I followed in silence.
“Why the f uck did you bring that woman here,” She suddenly stopped and shot
out.
I sighed and then furrowed my brows in confusion. Who sent the man that brought us here?
“You didn’t send him to bring us here?”

“Someone brought us here, a man, he broke us out of our cell, saying that someone sent him-” I was still saying when she cut in.
“I was about to ask how you found us, but you’re saying someone brought you both here? he broke you guys from the cell?” she sounded like she didn’t believe a word.
“Wait. Is Giselle in the cell?is Lucien no more the Alpha?”
“It’s a long story. But if you didn’t send him, then who did?”
She was just about to say something when a very familiar voice spoke, I spun around in
my mouth wide open.
“I did.” Surprise, with
