A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 146
Book Two-Ch.# 37
“NO!” Kieran roared.
And right as the dagger pierced the surface of my shoulder, Daniel was promptly pushed off me.
“I said *don’t touch her*,” he growled.
The weight of his words fell over everyone in the room, and once again I experienced the tangible sway of his order.
“Kieran,” Daniel huffed out, unable to get back up to his feet. “She-.”
“No, enough! You’re hereby forbidden from moving until further notice,” Kieran said. ” That goes for you too Allison. Sit down. Now. And I don’t want to hear another word from either of you.”
Allison gritted her teeth but did as she was told.
“What… What is that?” I asked. “What did you do to them?”
Kieran looked defeated as he straightened back up, unable to meet my eyes. He simply stared at two people he held dear as they were trapped on the floor.
“An Alpha heir order,” he said. “It’ll only hold them long enough until a full ranked member arrives though.”
“Kieran-.”
“Leave… Rae,” he said quietly. “I can’t do anything else for you now.”
The pain in his voice was clear, an echo in it that stung me. I didn’t want to upset him further, and so, with one hand covering the shallow new wound to my shoulder, I hobbled back to my feet to grab the book and dagger.
“There’s a cupboard to your left which has an emergency hidden staircase inside it. Use that and follow it all the way down. It’ll take you to the car park outside safely without being seen.”
Just as he’d said, upon inspecting the cupboard, there was indeed a staircase inside. But as I stared into the dark passage ahead, I hesitated once more.
…This was the last time I might see him. Did I really want to leave things like this? With lies intended to push him away and a head full of questions?
“Kieran… I…,” I said, my voice trailing off.
So many things I wanted to say, to explain, to ask about. All of which would take too long to get through. And so, in the end, I settled for one thing.
Just one line.
“…I’m sorry,” I whispered.
And I slipped through the doorway without another word, beginning the descent down.
“This isn’t over, Rae,” he called out behind me. “I’ll find you. I promise.”
But I just wiped at the stray tear that had escaped my eye and kept walking.
There were a lot of promises that were made lately. Too many.
“Do yourself a favour for both our sakes, Kieran,” I said quietly. “…Forget about me. My survival might just rely on that very thing.”
I knew what awaited me now. The only remaining path left.
A path that would lead me to the one place I ever truly belonged.
