Alpha’s White Lle
Chapter 177
I watched the color drain from Max’s face.
“1… I did… I didn’t know… what??” Max stuttered.
“You just said it was only a matter of time before I went into heat. Which means you knew I would go into heat. How did you know Maz? What are you no telling me?!” I insisted
Max looked at me like I had grown a second head.
“Yo-.. you heard me wrong. I never said that,” Max stuttered, taking a step back.
“I know what I heard, Max. Tell me what you know!” I yelled.
“I CAN’T!” He shouted.
“I can’t tell you anything. All you need to know is that I didn’t cast that pregnancy spell. I didn’t break your trust. You can trust me!” Max growled, running his hands through his hair.
“Max, how can I trust you when you are hiding the truth from me?” I questioned, taking a step towards him.
Before I could blink, Max closed the distance between us and roughly pulled me into his arms.
“Then maybe I should go. I should let you die because if this suppressant doesn’t kill you, he will. I’m risking my life to help you, Rosy.”
“Max…. I-… please tell me what’s going on? Maybe we can help each other,” I whispered, gently pressing my hand on his chest.
What was he so scared of? I had never seen Max so frightened before. He looked so vulnerable. I didn’t want him risking his life to save mine. No, that wouldn’t happen.
Max just stared down at me. His eyes were glossy and empty.
“Please, tell me what’s going on? I want to help you too,” I croaked.
He sighed and pressed his forehead to mine.
“Rosy, I really can’t. I’m here to try to save you. Not put you in more danger” there was an edge to Max’s voice.
“I’m going to die one way or another. What’s the worst that can happen?” I chuckled nervously.
Max didn’t move. Instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tightly.
It felt so wrong being in Max’s arms. It wasn’t the same warmth and comfort I felt when Blake touched me. My stomach churned, and a wave of nausea coursed through me.
He let me go and stepped away.
“I can feel your discomfort from my touch. I’m sorry. Another man’s touch is repulsing, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is,” I whispered.
I wrapped my arms around myself, and tried to bring Blake’s warmth back.
“You didn’t answer me.” I pressed.
Max strolled towards Emily’s bedroom balcony and stared out at the woods.
“I made a deal with the devil, Rosy. I got what I wanted, and now he’s claiming his half” Max sighed loudly and ran his hands through his hair.

“Wait? The devil? Like the actual devil?” I wasn’t sure how to react.
He shook his head and paced the room.
“No, not the actual devil. But somehow, I feel that would have been easier to get out
“Okay, so who’s this devil, and what deal did you make? Most importantly, how does this have anything to do with me?” I was getting impatient
“He wanted someone found, and I wanted to learn dark magic. So, I went looking for the person, and he taught me everything I know about the evil side of magic,” Max replied, taking his jacket off and tossing it on Emily’s bed.
“Who were you looking for?” My throat was dry. Why was I so nervous to ask that question?
“Rosy, you really don’t want to get involved in this. Please.”
“Yes, I do. Max, who were you looking for?” I demanded, trying to remove the nervousness from my voice.
“Bethany Whitlock. He wanted me to find Bethany Whitlock,” he gulped.
