Chapter 54
He squeezed his fist, no indication of pain on his face as his blood dripped from his hand and mixed into the water. Ever so slightly, he turned to face Hestia and silently told her with his eyes to do the same. As I watched the exchange, his eyes shifted to meet mine. I felt instant heat the moment our gazes locked. Every fiber in my body felt the caress of his gaze. The heat trailed down my face, my collarbone, my chest, my waist, every dip and curve he had the chance to see, he took. Goosebumps rose from my skin. Attempting to stop myself from the slight shaking. I crossed my arms.
It felt intoxicating.
Like I was being held captive by his gaze.
For the sake of my sanity, I tore my gaze away and watched Hestia slowly make her way up. Taking hesitant steps forward, she kept turning back for reassurance. She looked beyond nervous. Her eyes darted to everyone when she finally looked at me. I stoned myself, face neutral and blank as she dropped her gaze to the floor.
Landon had walked up to her. He handed her his own pocketknife to which she took almost unwillingly. The reluctance was easy to spot.
Just as Locksworth did, she sliced her palm, flinching at the sting before letting drops of her blood mix into the pool.
Everyone watched in interest. At first, the blood just mixed in until it became clear. Then as quick as it had disappeared, the water started bubbling. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Hestia watching with a tight expression on her face. Her hand flew to her slightly pertruding stomach.
They weren’t mates.
I knew, somehow, deep down they weren’t mates but knowing that she lied about it was still a shock. Why would she claim to find her mate when she didn’t and she already has Landon? My eyes flew to Hestia whose face was tinged red. She kept her eyes downcast to the floor as my father stood gaping at the Pool. Landon himself looked furious, his eyebrows scrunched together as he glared at his wife. He balled his fists, his wolf surfacing as his eyes menacingly switched to black.
“Hestia! How dare you lie?”
He bellowed, his fists shaking at his sides. Hestia winced, cowering away as she trembled from Landon’s raised voice. I tried to find it in myself to feel bad but I couldn’t. She brought this upon herself. Whatever reason she may have, declaring an Alpha as her mate when he wasn’t was not only damaging to her reputation but to Locksworth’s as well. If she had told anyone outside the pack that he was her mate, a punishment would surely be in order for deception and malice.
I simply looked away and focused my gaze on Benicio. He too was shellshocked. He just stared at the red water slowly dispersing back to its original state like it was a lie he couldn’t believe. When he regained his composure, he immediately sought after Locksworth. The unmistakable embarrassment strained his expression. He swallowed, instantly going over to him.
“Alpha Locksworth, I I am so terribly sorry. My daughter, she 1 cannot ”
He stumbled on his words, still unable to accept that his daughter was lying. His wolf submitted, head low and snout touching the ground in the utmost belittling position but Locksworth didn’t seem to care Which, in all honesty, I found odd. I expected him to smugly respond or demand punishment but he didn’t. He remained silent, staring at the pool with mild interest when suddenly…
his gaze fell back onto me
“My apologies, Alpha Locksworth… I’m sincerely.”
“Alpha Crestfield.”
Locksworth interrupted, completely disregarding my father. I looked at him with my arms still folded across my chest. Ignoring the slight butterflies I felt, I waited for him to continue. At this point everyone had stopped talking and watched us in confusion. Locksworth stared, drilling his penetrating gaze into my eyes and lifted his hand. Extending his palm toward me, his gaze softened by a fraction.
