Alpha Blake

Chapter 59 We’re Almost Out!-1

Selene lays on her side on the bed shackled by her left foot to the bed on a long silver chain.

She sighs and runs her hands through her face as she sits straight against the headboard.

Knock knock

The door creaks open, Tasha slowly pokes her head in and smiles making Selene scrunch her

face in disgust.

"What do you want? Traitor!" She questions as Tasha slowly comes in and sets a tray of food and

a glass of water on the table by the door.

"I thought maybe you were getting hungry. You've been here for more than half a day. I know

Damian likes to starve people, but I don't, ok!? so, I brought you a bite to eat, just in case you were

hungry." She stares at Selene for a few seconds in silence before turning. She grasps the door knob

and turns it before holding it slightly ajar to leave.

"Wait!" Selene calls out to her as she stands with her right foot still on top of the bed.

She turns closing the door behind her, resting against the door with her hands in the back. Her

face hung low, unwilling to glance back at Selene.

"Look. I know you hate me. You have every reason to; But believe me if I had any other choice to

have met you under different circumstances, I would of. I never-"

"Save it. I don't need you're pathetic excuse for an apology. What you and my husband did behind

my back while I was gone is out of my jurisdiction. After all, I was technically not married to him then.

Even if he was my mate." She hangs her head, trying to hide her anger and frustration from Tasha as RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

she crosses her hands over her chest.

"I just want to know why?" She squints her eyes and looks sternly at Tasha, making Tasha's gaze

turn in surprise.

Tasha looks at her with melancholy in her eyes. "What?" She asks softly. Her eyebrows lined and

eyes glistened with tears.

Selene stands and walks as far as the chain allows her, stopping just inches away from Tasha.

"Don't you fucking 'what' me! Why did you betray your own pack? Why did you work against them?

Why? Why would you scoop so low, you'd rather work with them? With Jazmin. With Damian. Why

would you work with them to harm your own pack? Weren't you satisfied with finding your mate? Did

the bond between them mean nothing, that you'd betray the pack he and you belonged to? For what?

Do you really think you'll gain anything from all this?"

Tasha's eyes water at the mentioning of Hector, her mate. At night she sneaks away to see him.

Trembling and covering her mouth to muffle her cries each time she sees the vampires torturing him in

a constant manner that keeps him from fully healing.

"Don't you think I would of chosen differently if I had the choice? You have no idea all the shit I've

gone through Selene. You have no idea what Damian is capable. And you obviously have no idea what

is really happening to me, do you?"

Selene's eyes widen, her finger nails exposed as Hazel threatens to merge.

"Spare me the sympathy and your stupid lies. Because I don't believe your stupid tears." Selene

sneers at her, composing herself and making Hazel return inside of her.

Tasha chuckles in disbelief. She walks to the right side of the room and sits on a golden and light

brown chair near by. Running her hands through her hair and exhaling deeply. Her head tilting towards

the heavens with her eyes closed.

"I would do anything for my pack Selene. And I'd do anything, and I mean anything for my mate.

You should know. That's why you're here. To save your mate, isn't it?" Selene looks at her. Her hands

crossed over her chest, but still, unwilling to fully believe Tasha's words.

"Don't compare what I'm doing to what you're doing. It's completely different. You know why?"

Selene looks at her sternly, standing to her feet and turning towards the window out looking the old

barracks where the military base used to be, and is now being used as Damian's hide out.

"Because I'm not betraying my pack like you are!" She says sternly at Tasha without staring at her.

Tasha sighs, closing her eyes and standing to her feet, turning her body away from Selene to avoid

letting Selene see the tears running down her cheeks.

"Believe me that if things were different, I would have never betrayed my pack. But I had no choice

Selene. And if you were in my shoes, you'd have no choice but to do the same to save your mate."

Selene narrows her eyebrows, turning her body towards her and grasping her hand slowly as she

sees Tasha walking away.

"Tasha wait. What do you mean you had no other choice? How is all this relevant to saving your

mate?" Selene looks at her, realizing the sincere melancholy in her eyes.

"Damian captured my mate and obliged me to partake on his ugly deeds in exchange to keeping

my mate alive, ok? Is that what you wanted to hear? There! Now you know. I had to do everything he

and Jazmin told me to do in order for my mate to stay alive. I had no cho-"

"What do you mean Him and Jazmin? Are you saying that Jazmin has been working with Damian

all along?" Selene's eyes narrow on her. Selene's blood suddenly boiling with much greater anger. If

she felt she had begun to hate Jazmin before, she suddenly felt a great loath towards her.

The two set their anger towards each other aside for once while they sat to talk.

The more that she sat there listening to Tasha, the more she angered; the more she furiously

wanted to strangle her perpetrators and end this battle for good. Now, the only thing was, how to get

out of her prison and put her next plan into action.
