Chapter 178
Fuck sake, there was that lady’s name again! Why was everyone so obsessed with my mother?! I understood that she had a strong blondline, but didn’t Dwayne say her brother Jonathon had taken the throne, so why was finding my mother still important?
“I don’t get it. My mother had stripped her wolf and had nothing to do with the werewolf world, so why look for her?*
“Because the rightful heir of the Whitlock throne was still out there, and that was interfering with his plans. Max sighed and looked out towards the forest again.
“When your mother was stripped of her wolf, in return for her request, the Moon Goddess asked Beth for a child to balance the way of life, which you know already. If Beth were out there childless, disobeying the Moon Goddess’s ultimatum, then when Jonathon took over, the balance would be restored. However, Jonathon’s reign hasn’t balanced anything. It’s caused more problems, actually. The unbalance is causing unrest between spirits and magic. So it was obvious that Beth had a child. We find Bethany; we find the next rightful heir to the throne.”
“I still don’t get it. You said you were risking your life to save mine. How does finding my mum or me put you at risk?”
Max turned around to look at me. His eyes were glassy and cold. His cold stare sent a chill down my spine.
“My-…. My instructions were to find Beth and her child and kill them. Erase the child that would bring back the balance.”
He was here to kill me?….
“B-…but you haven’t killed me” I choked on my own words, taking a step back.
“And that’s how my life ended up at risk. Because you’re still alive.” Max sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
“The night you got kidnapped by that Novo guy, I was in Greenwoods because I had already gotten info that Bethany worked at the club I found you at. I was about to go into the club to find Bethany but Blake called in hysterics, asking me to find you. Before I came in to save you, I overheard Novo say Beth was your mum. I thought I had hit the jackpot! Beth’s daughter was Blake’s mate. Fucking with you was the perfect way to torture Blake. What I didn’t expect was there to be crescent marks on your flawless skin and for there to be a pull between us. I had met you before; I was sure I could walk out of that club with you in my arms and have no regret as to what I was going to do to you. But when I looked into your scared gorgeous eyes, my heart sank.” Max took slow steps towards me as he spoke.
“No way could I do all the sinister things I was planning. No way was I going to let you die. I had waited my whole life to find you; I’d give my life to keep you alive. So, I took you back to Blake. I knew you’d be safe there until I figured something out. I already knew about your bloodline, and I knew what that asshöle wanted. As long as you weren’t a threat to his plans, he would leave you alone. Once I was calm enough to think, I went back to my devil and struck another deal. I would make sure your wolf stays dormant, and he would leave you alone.”
Max was standing right in front of me now. He slowly reached out and cupped my face, pulling me closer to him. I was too paralyzed to stop him–fear coursing through me.
“There was still one problem, though. We knew you’d go into heat, given Blake had marked you. Once you and Blake finished mating, your wolves would call upon each other and awaken your wolf. We didn’t know you had a suppressant, and the plan was as soon as you went into heat, I’d call Blake away for an emergency and sweep in to soothe your burning desires while he was gone. I would mate with you at that time, making your wolf forever dormant since I didn’t have a wolf to call onto yours. But that asshole didn’t want to wait that long. He was determined to separate you and Blake, and without me knowing, he cast the pregnancy spell, essentially ruining my plans” Max wrapped his free arm around my waist and pulled me up against his chest.
I could feel all the goosebumps on my body rise as the sickening feeling from Max’s touch surged through me.
