    Chapter 96: Sorry Sweetcheeks!


    Lottie POV


    “Thank you!” I nodded to Selene.


    “Charlotte.” She called to me, her voice soft and angelic. I paused mid–way to pull the door open,


    turning to look at her sitting elegantly by the fountain. I made a mental note of how breathtakingly


    beautiful she was so I could tell the twins about herter. Her pink, rosy lips twitched at the sides,


    and I knew she was reading my mind, coursing a blush to dance across my cheeks.


    “I know the offer I have given you might not seem fair right now, but it is better than the alternative.”


    She warned, her image fading along with my question on what she meant because I got the distinct


    feeling she was not referring to Alpha Leigh or Sebastian dying.


    “With the door swinging open, I was not sure what I expected but not to walk. straight through the


    door like I thought I would when I left the office earlier. Pushing the door open again only to be met


    with the panicked face of my father as Adam pulled him from the floor, just like he was seconds


    ago. Liam and Chase stared at me like they had when I left.


    “Forget something?” They asked, an amused look on their faces.


    “I told you, Mike.. she was bluffing!” My fatherughed at Mike, who was staring at me with hopeful


    eyes.


    “She is having second thoughts. She knows she loves me! Let me go!” Mike demanded. I felt a


    laugh erupt from my throat, but I ignored him and looked at Liam


    nervously. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    “How long was I gone for?” I asked with a cocked brow.


    I dunno Luna… maybe 0.0001 of a second, and I am sorry, but I didn’t get much out of them in that


    time other than the fact that one!” He stated, nodding to Mike.

    “Screams like a bitch!” As if to prove his point, he twisted the letter open in his leg, a scream so


    high I am sure I heard Sage howl leave his lips. But my mind was elsewhere; I rasped, relieved that


    I hadn’t been gone for as long as I thought.


    “Time must be different there!” I mused aloud, only for five sets of eyes to nce at me.


    “What?” They asked, confused. Dismissing them with a wave of my hand, I turned to leave again.

    “She is insane! Are you actually going to take orders from that crazy bitch.” My father roared, and I


    would have turned back to see what Adam had done to reward him for his manners, but truthfully, I


    didn’t care. Because, if Selene were right, I wouldn’t need them for much longer; the Alphas could


    follow through with my threat and kill them for all I cared. As long as they were not here to poison


    the minds or bodies of the people I cared for, I didn’t care what happened to them.


    Closing the door, I stepped from the room only to walk into a b of pure muscle. Pushing the panic


    down quickly, I reminded myself that Chase had left hist men outside the door to keep watch, but


    when my eyes fluttered open, I saw the eyes staring down at me were, in fact, the


    cold grey eyes of the male who had confessed to seeing Alpha Leigh get killed before diapering into


    the crowd. I looked around briefly, expecting one of the Alpha’s men to have found him and brought


    him


    to me.


    “Sorry, sweetcheeks, I returned to you all on my own.” He winked at me


    cheekily.


    “I don’t have time for this shit!” I sighed, bending at the waist to catch my breath as thest hour


    caught up with me. I had so much I needed to do: find my mates, check on Laura andy my eyes


    on Sebastian to make sure I wasn’t


    hallucinating what I think I had just experienced with Selene because they say that can happen


    when you experience trauma! And lord knows, seeing the man who had been a father to me lying


    dead was enough to traumatise anyone.


    “You don’t have time to hear me tell you how to save your friends?” He questioned with a dark


    chuckle that made the hairs on my neck stand on end. ring at him, I fought back the insult that


    was on the tip of my tongue and instead


    O

    Chapter 96 Sorry Sweetcheeksi


    crossed my arms over my chest as I stood, really not in the mood for this asshole, but if Selene was


    right, I had time to humour him if it got me the answers I needed to clear Knox’s name.


    “No, but I would be interested to hear what happened to them! And you said you saw it all right?” I


    replied curiously, my eyes searching his for a shred of decency, but his words reminded me of the


    indifference I had felt washing off him. earlier. This male, whoever he was and wherever he had


    come from, cared for no one but saving his own hide.


    “I have lizards I care for!” He snorted, and my eyes narrowed on him.


    “How did you know..” I asked, confused, wondering for a minute if exhaustion was getting the better


    of me, and I had said that out loud. But I decided I honestly didn’t care. I just wanted to get to my


    mates and away from this narcissist.


    “You know what, it doesn’t matter. You saw Alpha Leigh fall?” I asked again.


    “Yes, I did. But I don’t give information for free.” He grinned, his pearly whites glistening unnaturally.


    “I thought as much!” I snapped and shoved him aside to make my way around the corridor, pleased


    to see it was now empty beside me and the man who had taunted me with information he was


    unwilling to give.


    “Do you not care about your Alpha then?” He mocked as he fell in step beside me. Rolling my eyes,


    I looked ahead and decided not to let him bait me.


    “Or clearing your mate’s name? I guess you don’t care about that, then, either? Maybe you don’t


    love them after all!” He slyly dropped in there, my eyes shooting to his as the rage that would rival


    any of the Alphas I have seen tonight exploded in my chest, demanding I put his ass straight.
