Chapter 252
Chapter 252 Sisterhood
“Nice to see us all acting like grownups now… well… most of us…” Lexi smirked with a side nce
towards Adam.
He didn’t bother responding and Allen shot a look towards Lexi, letting her know that she was pushing
her luck.
Felix cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Aoife said that she had been having more fun with you two than she had since she had left home.” He
half smiled, “I don’t know if I should be offended or happy that you two have been taking care of her so
well.”
“You furballs will never understand how much a woman needs her girls.” Lexi answered almost
immediately with a littleugh, “When your hormones and caveman-like urges are through the roof,
then we NEED each other. It’s a sisterhood, furball.”
“I understand.” Felix said with a small smile as he c****d his head, “Where is Aoife anyway? Did she
return to our room?”
“Oh we’ve been sharing shifts with Ann so she wasn’t on her own. I take the night shift and Aoife does
the day shift. She managed
to persuade the staff to allow us to use the room next door so she’s most likely asleep in there.”
“You’re both staying in the hospital?”
“Why wouldn’t we? It’s a bit of a trek from our quarters so being this close by means we save a ton of
time. Besides, both of us have had trouble sleeping since this happened so at least we can pop
through to keep each otherpany if we need to.”
“I see.” Felix said with the ghost of a smile on his face, “I must say that I’m surprised at the speed in
which you all have bonded.”
“I mean, I don’t know why you’re surprised,” Lexi shrugged, “Aoife is an absolute sweetheart and I
know I have a reputation for being a sarcastic, snarky mean-girl, but that side of me is only ever
unleashed on people that deserve it.”
“Just to rify, Felix, in case you’re struggling, calling us semi-derogatory names is a form on
endearment in her mind.” Allen interjected with a wry smile as Felix chuckled.
“Got it.” He grinned, “Well, without being rude, I should probably go and surprise my wife. Although I’m
fairly sure she’ll be asleep seeing as how she didn’t reply to myst message.”
“You might want to think about getting changed and showering before you drag your sweaty ass in to
see her.” Lexi said with a grimace.
“Nah. She loves the filthy side of me,”
Felix quipped with a wink as he made his way to the door.
“Bit of a difference between blood and gore and travel dirt though to the type of filth she enjoys though!”
Lexi sniggered as Allen massaged the bridge of his nose which only seemed to amuse her further.
Felix said goodbye to Allen and Lexi, hesitating before also saying goodbye to Adam, who could only
grunt in response.
He sighed internally as he left the room and made his way to where Aoife would be waiting for him. He
couldn’t wait to see that excited gleam in her eyes, and feel her arms around his neck, pulling at him
insistently so that he would give in to her ever present need for physical closeness.
He grinned to himself at the thought of it as he ced his hand on the handle. He would have never
thought that the quiet girl who had boldly stood up to his bastard of a brother would be quite so
insatiable or needy in the bedroom. Not that he wasining though, he loved it.
As soon as he swung the door open his senses were assaulted by the metallic scent of blood in the air.
His heart almost stopped as blind panic took over.
“Aoife? AOIFE?!” He shouted frantically into the darkness, the fear choking him as he received no
reply.
Felix swore loudly and fumbled for the light switch that should have been right next to the door. As soon
as he found it, he flipped it quickly and spun round, soon wishing that the hadn’t.
He froze at the gruesome sight that greeted him before a cry of utter devastation left his lips as his legs
gave way from underneath him. He scrambled across the floor to where the lifeless body of his
beautiful matey, muttering her name like a mantra as he did so.
“No… it can’t… Aoife! Baby… please open your eyes!” He pleaded, his voice cracking as tears
streamed down his face.
He wiped them away furiously as his eyes took in the damage that had been wrought on his fragile little
mate.
“Aoife… I’m nothing without you… don’t leave me… please!” He sobbed, roaring her name to the
oppressive silence of the room.
He knew, just by looking at these injuries, that there was no way that she wasing back from this.
He sobbed as he traced the outline of her face and tried not to look at the gruesome mess on her neck.
“I’ll find them, my love.” Felix whispered as his gaze hardened, “I’ll find them and when I do, I’ll make
them wish they had neverid a hand on you. I promise you. Even if it takes the rest of my life, they will
pay dearly for taking my only love from me, and when I take myst breath to be reunited with you, I
will smile, because I will know that you will be waiting.”
His shoulders shook with silent sobs as he reached forward and gently closed her eyes with his fingers.
This didn’t make any sense. Why would someone kill her? Unless…
Felix’s mind raced with potential suspects, but there was no one that wanted to see her dead here.
Unless… unless Allen had decided to take his revenge for his sister’s death on Aoife.
Felix’s wolf was enraged by the mere possibility and pushed to take control even as Felix tried to calm
him.
Surely he wouldn’t. There was no use trying to scent other intruders here because the overpowering
metallic tang that hung in the air covered any other scent that may have hinted at the culprit.
He clenched his jaw and with a final look at his beloved wife, turned and stormed out of the room, fully
intending to confront Allen and find out the truth.
It all was starting to suddenly make sense to him now. This was why Adam had been asking about his
rtionship with Aoife and his family’s rtionship with her. He wanted to make sure that her death
would cause a sufficient impact on the family. how had he been so blind as to not see it?
He had thought the probing questions and hours of discussion that they had revolving around Jasper
had been purely just to see about bringing him to justice, but that obviously wasn’t the case after all.
With a terrifying crash he burst through the doors of Ann’s room, snarling wildly as heunched himself
at a shocked looking Allen.
