Chapter 0051


    Neah


    “Y...you said you killed them.” It wasn''t my ce to ask questions. But he had clearly kept her alive and if she was here to kill me, I wanted to know


    why she was the only one to survive.


    “I did.”


    “But not her?” I frown, confused. He was deliberately dragging it out.


    “There was never a reason to kill her. I told you, some of the other brides ran. Some of them were trying to dig up information on me. She wasn’t


    clingy, she wasn''t desperate for my attention, though that has clearly changed. Veronica didn''t do anything wrong, in fact she was very on board with


    the arrangement. It was me who grew tired of her.”


    “She killed her true mate.”


    “He wasn''t part of this pack.”


    “She betrayed her own family.”


    “I see Raven told you everything she knew.” He stares at me from across the table.

    “Veronica''s family had an agenda. Just like Trey, they gave her away for the contract. The only difference is, they made it look like it was the worst


    thing that could possibly happen to them. Yet, all along they had nned to hand her over. They wanted me dead and needed inside information to


    be able to do that. Veronica figured it out. So yes, you could say she betrayed them, but she brought the truth to the surface. It takes a lot for


    someone to betray their own family.”


    “You let her live because she helped you te live.”


    ‘It was the least I could do.


    The horrible jealous feeling fades away as I look at him. He had this mean, mysterious side but now and again, he really did surprise me.


    ‘I’m not saying she is a great person.


    Or that she''s even a good person”

    “She loved you.” I whisper


    “More than what I could ever return." He frowns


    “Raven didn''t know?!"


    “None of them do. It’s not something that I like to share. As far as they are aware, Veronica had angered me.”


    “And she left?"

    But I told her we are mated and I

    as his eyes lock back on to mine. “If

    “lL...” I didn’t know what I was trying to say. My fingers feel the bumps of the mark he gave me. He had marked me. I was the only one who he had


    done that to.


    “I chose you, Neah. I was meant to find you.” He looks up at the clock on the wall. “We need to go, otherwise you are going to bete.


    “Late?”


    “I have found you a tutor. Like I said I would” He announces proudly, rising from the chair. He holds out his hand for me. “Come.”
