Some guests?

Grace’s POV

.

This time, I went into a shock. I never thought he would mishandle her like this. Zayden had never raised his hand on me, let alone manhandling! But instead of feeling scared of this man, I was fuming in anger.

I was brought back from my shocked state by a jerk on my head as he pulled my hair to make me look at him.

“Then you should be, Grace. Because I am not like your mate who would follow you like a love-sick puppy. Get that in your little head. Today, after Zayden will mark Sarah as his mate. I will mark you as mine before you die.”, My eyes widened when I heard this. “Don’t worry, I won’t treat you like my mate but as my mistress. History will repeat. Whatever had happened with that bastard’s mother and him would happen with you and your child.”

Something inside me immediately snapped. And I knew who that was!

‘Calm down. There is a thin line between bravery and stupidity. We should know when we have to run away and when to fight back. Don’t reveal yourself now. Let him think of me as a weak woman.’, I mindlink to my wolf and immediately she calmed down.

“Now, are you scared of me?”, he asked again. I was not stupid to repeat the same mistake. I nodded frantically to which he smiled. “Good girl. Now, go to your room. We are going to have some guests who want to meet you.”

“Some guests?”, I asked in confusion.

“Hmm...I and...well, you will see soon.”, he said and moved away from there. Walking outside the kitchen, he heard me ask another question.

“How is Zayden?”, I asked desperately, knowing he might have some news related to him. “Can you help me to break the witch spell?”, I added. He looked in my direction and raised his brow.

“Zayden!!!”, He quickly reached near me at his vampire’s speed again. Grabbing my jaw tightly, he spoke the venom out.

“Zayden? Why should I help you? Why should I let him be happy? Why should I let him live in sophistication when he had left me all alone in this cruel world! WHY?”, he shouted, making me flinch. He left my jaw harshly and turned around to control himself from getting emotional, but too late, my wolf had already smelt that.

‘There might be a small amount of hope that I could change his mind.’, I thought.

“You don’t know anything about that bastard, whom you call your husband and mate.”, he almost mumbled.

“What happened between you two was entirely your fault!”, I pointed out in a low tone. He slowly turned around to face me.

“He told you. He told you about us?”

“Yes.”

“Weird! I never thought he would talk about me to you. So, what did he tell you?”, He asked, as if this was an interesting topic for him.

“Aaaaummm..he said that you both don’t like each other, because you both...murdered each other’s parents.”

“That’s it?”

“Umm..he told a lot more. But I don’t think it’s the right time to talk about this. Look, I know you hate him. And you want to hurt him! But if you think on the deeper side, it was his as well as your fault too. Both of you took something that meant the whole world to the other. So, I think you both should try to forget what happened in the past and move on. There is no reason in living with this revenge in your heart.”, I tried to talk sense.

“Move on? He killed my father! How do you expect me to forget everything, and move on? And if that wasn’t enough, he took my sister away from me! I hardly get to see her. Even, we talk secretly, just so that he wouldn’t find out. I can never forgive him...never.”

“If he killed your father, then you killed his mother too! That mother who fed you and took care of you as her own son! And, Zayden knows that you are in touch with Allison sometimes via phone. He doesn’t acknowledge it because he wants her to be happy!”

“If he wants her happy, then he should know that my sister wants to live with me too! Why had he locked her in the pack and then gotten her married to a heartless alpha who doesn’t love her?”

“He doesn’t trust you. He is afraid that you might hurt her. And she wasn’t locked in the pack. She was free to do anything she liked. Moreover, I have seen how much the pack members adore her. Zayden had given her everything that she demanded. She is happy after her marriage as well. Alpha Craig might look heartless but he does love her.”

“I will hurt her? Her own brother? Do you even hear yourself?”, He asked, bringing his hands near his ears dramatically.

“Your father didn’t speare her! So, why should he trust you, brother or not!”

“My father? Are you out of your mind? My father would never hurt his daughter! He loves Allison! He always told me to take care of her. She was the only female in his entire life whom he had loved. He would never hurt her! Did Zayden tell you this nonsense?”

I thought about this for a second. Both brothers' views were entirely different...which was impossible. Either one had to be lying or….was unaware of the truth.

“Yes. He told me so.”

“He’s lying. That bastard was talking sick things about my father! Did he tell the same words to Allison?”, he asked desperately.

“I...I don’t know!”, I said truthfully.

“In that case, he might be! This is why Allison hates father. She hates our father! And I never knew the reason! But I do, now. That bastard! I will give him more pain for sure now! Thank you for giving me this valuable information, sister in law!”, he spoke with a grin that appeared out of nowhere while my face paled. I had unknowingly brought more problems for my mate.

“Maybe, he is telling the truth! Your father used to drink a lot. He even was violent with his mate and son! So, why wouldn’t he hurt her?”

“Because she was his real daughter! That woman and the son you are talking about were not his real family! Allison and I were!”

“Still! He was a violent person! And you can deny the fact that a person like him can’t spare anyone when he will not be in his right mind.”

Wyatt stood silent, maybe battling between his mind and his heart. “My father can’t do anything like that to my sister! I know it! Now, go to your room.”, He said and left from there but the hesitation in his voice was clear.

I walked toward my room thinking about all the things that happened.

‘Zayden can’t tell me lies! He wouldn’t lie about his father! He wouldn’t lie to me. I know him. So, either Wyatt is lying about his father being nice to his sister or he really is unaware of the fact that Allison was in potential danger near their father.’

Immediately I wanted to throw up. I placed my hand on my mouth and ran toward my room. I quickly entered the washroom and tried to throw up but nothing came out apart from saliva and some water. I tried again to empty my stomach but to no avail. I felt someone’s finger on my hair and I thought it was Wyatt touching me. I jerked back and was about to slap him. That's when my eyes widened in realization. It wasn’t Wyatt.

“What are you doing here?”, She asked, not believing her eyes!
