Chapter b83 /b

It took at least thirty minutes before we arrived at Keran’s house, and when we did, I tuned off the engine and stepped out of the car, ing my hand to block the sunlight from my bface /bbas /bI stared at the same ce had been justst night–the ce where everything had happened

My fingers tightened around the key in my hand as I drew in a deep breath, bracing myself for what I was about to see inside again. But i knew i didn’t have the time to feel any sort of guilt. I had to toughen up and focus on what I had set my mind on

“Mydy, do you want me to go in and call Sir Kieran?” Serena asked. I turned to her, forcing a smile onto my face as shook my head.

“There’s no need. I want to talk to him in private, so I go in First Wait outside for me,” I said, not wanting her to see the sight that wa

sas inside the house.

The reason I had brought her here was bso /bshe could serve bas /ban alibi for me, and I knew I wouldn’t be suspected but Kieran might say it

was to be expected, after all.

I watched Serena frown, as if she wanted to say something, but the look i gave her made her swallow her words. She sighed and muttered a quiet “Fine” under her breath before stepping back to stand beside the car

“But please don’t take too long, mydy, be right here if you need me, just send a mind link.”

I nodded and gave her onest smile before walking toward the entrance. As I got closer, I could feel my heart pounding, my nerves starting to get the

best of me.

I stopped at the door and reached out to open it, Luckily, Thad unlocked itst night before left, breaking it down now would definitely look suspicious.

As the door creaked open, I turned back to nce at Serena and saw her stretching her neck, watching me closely.

“The door was open. I think Kieran is home. I’ll check on him, don’te inside, okay? I want to speak to him alone

I bwaited/b, and then heard Serena’s response.

“Okay, mydy. Please be careful”

I walked inside and closed the door behind meb, /band then without wasting time, I walked toward the room and maybe because of what awaited me on the other side, my footsteps seemed to echo loudly with each step.

I stopped at the top of the stairs and stared at the door in front of me, my eyes fixed on it for a brief moment before I closed my eyes and took a deep

breath

you can do this, Nyssa. You did it yesterday, and all that was left now was to go in, scream, act as though you’d seen something horrifying and woulde running

And before she could see anything, you’d tell her to look away and call for the guards.

That was all you needed to do

bit my bottom lip and reached for the doorknob, reminding myself once again

“That is all you bneed /bto do.”

I repeated it one more time before opening the door and stepping inside

Serena

However, the moment I did, all the air seemed to leave my lungs, and the world came to a halt around me as my eyes widened in shock and disbeliel

The room the one that was supposed to hold A’s corpse and Kieran’s unconscious body was empty. Yes, empty

I couldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t have believed it actually happened and wasn’t just a dream if it weren’t for the blood and the mess still scattered around

was seeing.

I couldn’t even begin to wrap my head around what I was

Kieran and Aria were really gone.

Before I knew it, my legs gave out beneath me and I sank to the floor, staring at the room,

But how was that bpossible/b? bHad /bKieran woken up earlier than he was supposed to? Had he taken Aria’s bbody /bband /brun? What the hell was going on?

My heart felt like it had sunk into the pit of my stomach as I tried to think. After everything had done to make sure those two would never harm my loved ones again, they were nowhere to be seen.

Kieran had token Aria’s body too

“I don’t think it was Kieran,” She’s voice rang in my head. “I can sense a third person who was herest night.”

“W–what?” Lasked in bconfusion/b, and she continued.

“There were only supposed to be three scents here, yours, bAria’s/bb, /bband /bKieran’s. Each werewolf has a unique scent, and that’s why you had toe here early, so it wouldn’t seem suspicious if anyone caught your scentter,”

As she exined, frowned. I understood what she was bsaying /bbut what she was telling me now was that someone else had been here after mest

bnight/b.

bMy /beyes widened as I suddenly bremembered /bwhat had happened back in the woods when I was walking, the sound of footsteps I’d heard.

Someone had really been thereb. /b

“Do you know who it is?” I asked, my bhands /bclenching as i stared down at the blood staining the ground. “The scent…is it familiar?”

“No, it isn’t familiar,” She responded. “But I don’t like the scent. It’s rogue and it smells like Ashwin.”

My lips pulled into a frown at her words

Ashvein… that was the hard drug rogues usually took to get high. It was addictive when used, but balso /bdangerous, and it had been bbanned /bby Darius

Slowly, the corners of my lips curved into a smile bas /ba realization, dawned on me.

Arealuation that in my past life, Kieran had also been involved with the rogues.

And maybe… he hadn’t been the only reason my pack had been raided and destroyed.

have to find her. The bounty on her head is huge”

“Haha, it’s someone more powerful than them.”

That was what the rogues had bsaid/b.

That someone more important than Kieran and Aria wanted me dead.

My hands clenched into fists, my bnails /bdigging into my bskin/b.

There were more than just two enemies behind my death in that past life. But it didn’t matter.

No, it didn’t because I would find everyst one of them and take my revenge myself.

I took a deep bbreath/b, stood up from the floor, and screamed at the top of my lungs.
