The Alpha’s Forbidden Love

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Cade’s voice out the door. He was the last person I expected to see around here and I wondered how he got to know about this place. Was it Nathan? I thought. No, Nathan wouldn’t betray me like that, would he?

“Lucy, I know you’re in there. Come out now,” Cade said in a harsh tone.

I didn’t know what to do at that point, if things went wrong, Cade would know about Chris and that would be the end.

“This is my chance to deal with that scumbag that wants me dead,” Chris snarled, clenching his fist as he made his way to the door.

“That’s not going to happen, this is not the right moment to have your revenge. It won’t be a fair fight after all,” I beckoned, hoping he would comply and he did.

“What are you going to do now?” he said softly. He wasn’t scared of facing Cade, he was only worried about me.

“Lucy, open the door,” Cade’s voice jolted me again. My heart was racing now, if I didn’t respond to his call he would surely break the door down.

“Go and talk to him, I’ll escape through the window,” Chris suggested. He quietly snuck out through the window while I answered Cade.

“What took you so long to open the door?” Cade said, barging into the room. “What is this place?” he asked, his eyes scanning the place.

“What are you doing here? Can’t I have a time of my own?” I snapped.

“I heard a voice in here, who is in here with you?” he peeped through the window but there was no one in sight. I felt my heart throb as he scanned everywhere, I wished the earth would swallow me up.

“What do you want? There’s no one here, it’s just me here,” I said, trying to hide the nervousness in me. Cade didn’t believe me, he stepped out and searched the nearby bushes hoping to find Chris but I guess Chris was long gone.

“It’s enough that you don’t trust me but barging into my hut like you own this place is what I won’t take from you,” I screeched at him.

“You were acting weird earlier so I wanted to check on you,” he said, pretending to be concerned.

That was hard to believe, why would he care about me? I wasn’t going to be fooled by him this time. “How did you know I’d be here? Did you follow me down here?” I inquired.

“C’mon, child, why will I do that? Nathan told me I would find you here,” he said, grinning. “what is this place? I never knew you had a place like this if he hadn’t mentioned it.”

Nathan? How could he betray me? I should have known better than to trust the son of a monster. This place was no longer safe for me and Chris to meet up again.

“As you can see, I’m fine. Can you leave now? I need to be alone,” I said. I tried to suppress my anger as I watched him leave, I should have allowed Chris to end his life earlier. I knew Cade had his doubt and would keep an eye on me, that is if he hadn’t started already.

Immediately, I returned to the pack and found Nathan training with the others in the open field. “How could you!?” I yelled. “I trusted you, how could you betray me?”

Nathan looked puzzled. “What are you talking about, Lucy?” he asked.

“Pretend all you want but know this, I’ll never forgive you for what you’ve done,” I said.

Nathan pulled me by my hand as I tried to walk away. “You can’t just leave without telling me what I’ve done wrong, you made me look bad in front of all these people,” he said. He looked pitiful and acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about.

“You told your father about my fathers but in the woods after making a promise that you wouldn’t. How could you?”

“I didn’t tell him, why will I do that? I’d never betray your trust, Lucy,” he said. I didn’t know what to believe anymore, I know Nathan can be a lot of things but being a betrayer wasn’t part of it.

“He said you did, enough with the pretense, he told me everything,” I snapped.

“Who is he?

“Your father! He said you told him about it,” I yelled more.

Nathan took a step back, dumbfounded. “That’s not true, he’s lying to you. I’d never do anything to hurt you.”

What if he was telling the truth? The Nathan I grew up to know wouldn’t do anything to hurt me, he always stood by me no matter what.

“He said you did, he said you told him,” I said, I was confused now. Did Cade lie to me earlier?

“And you believed him. You should know my father by now, he can be tricky. He probably had someone follow you as he did before,” he said. Maybe he was right, Cade was capable of many things, and something as this shouldn’t have taken me by surprise.

What surprised me more was the fact that Cade used his son to cover up his malfeasance. I could tell that Nathan was disappointed in his father and me too for believing his treacherous father. I didn’t know the right words to say to him at this juncture, who would blame me for what I did? Besides, Nathan had been the one acting strangely of late.

If Nathan didn’t tell his father about the hut, could that mean that he followed me there? And if he did, he must have seen Chris. No, that wasn’t possible. Chris was already in by the time I got there.

“Does your father know about Chris and me?” I asked.

“He has his suspicions but that’s just it,” Nathan said.

“I bet he’s curious and would want to know,” I said to Nathan. “tell him about us, tell him that I’m mated to the Alpha.”

Nathan’s eyes widened with shock. “Are you crazy? My father would be furious if he finds out.”

“No he wouldn’t, I’ll only become a strong alibi,” I smirked.

The game deceit had begun and I would play it till the very end.
