Chapter 487


    487-lt’s About Time, Lazio!


    ‘Are you feeling fine now?” J asked, sitting beside me after she had returned. I am, but I guess


    Theo is upset that I couldn’t go through with the training,” I said to her, watching Theo from afar, who


    was walking in the garden and having a deep conversation with Maynard and Lazio. It seemed like they


    didn’t want anybody else to jointhem.


    “He has every right to be worried. When I went there, even I was confused if I should submit the papers


    or not,” J sighed, making me understand why waking up Nia is the most important goal right now.

    ’I also want to talk about the girl staying in the guestroom.” J gently patted my shoulder to get my


    attention back to her.


    ‘Valerie? How is she?” I asked her, feeling bad because she deserved to enjoy her first pregnancy.


    ‘She is not eating anything. I feel so bad for her. But then again, she should have been wiser and not


    trusted his words when he told her he was leaving you soon. Just look at him, he is wandering around


    like he didn’t do anything wrong and she is taking all the pressure alone,” J was not wrong. Lazio


    needed to speak to her.


    ‘I will go check on her,’ I said, getting up from the seat and gesturing for the maid to prepare a food tray


    for me. Since I no longer felt any type of way about Lazio, I wasn’t jealous at all. She was his one true


    mate, and he was mistreating her for me.


    After grabbing the tray, I knocked on the door and entered the room to find her sitting by the window in


    tears.


    ‘I heard you haven’t eaten anything,” I said, sitting beside her and offering her food. She broke me a


    weak smile before she shook her head and refused to eat anything.


    ‘You are not only starving yourself but your baby as well,” I told her, watching her tear up.


    “But what do I do? It is not like I am not responsible for my condition. He told me we would need to


    keep our rtionship a secret, and I listened to him. He told me not to tell anyone that we were fated


    mates and I did that too. I willingly made a fool out of myself, and now I have a life growing inside me


    whose father doesn’t even want to do anything with the baby. I am devastated and I feel like it is my


    karma,” she startedughing hysterically, “I feel caged again, Enya. I was so desperate to be with my


    fated mate that I didn’t even realize how much I was hurting another she-wolf. I cannot give enough


    exnations because none of them will make me the victim. I did wrong, and I am facing my karma


    now.” She was sobbing and talking with much difficulty. It broke my heart to see her like that.


    She was pregnant and under so much stress.


    “I cannot go back in time and stop myself from being a bitch, but what I can do is beg for your


    forgiveness,” she said instantly, getting up from her spot and sitting on my knees, making me jump and


    pull away from her.


    “Hey! No! don’t do that,” Iined, grabbing her by her hands and making her stand up from my


    feet.


    ‘Please forgive me!” she begged again once she was on her feet.


    ‘You didn’t do it alone. I was mad at you in the beginning, but trust me, now I am just okay with


    whatever happened. It helped me move on from him. What happened, happened in the past? If my


    forgiveness is all you need, then I am forgiving you, Valerie!” I gently hugged her, and she hugged me


    back tightly. No wonder everybody likes you. You are very kind and generous.” Valerie said, after


    pulling away from me. That’s when I heard a guard informing the others outside that alpha king Corbin


    has arrived.


    I knew he had heard about the papers and was probably here to talk about them. I left Valerie in the


    room and rushed outside to see what he wanted from us now. He was standing in the garden with the


    others, holding some papers.


    ‘Ah! Herees the Alpha Queen!” he joked, waving the papers andughing his ass off. Maynard and


    Lazio had to hold Theo’s hand to pull him back and keep him from attacking Corbin.


    I thought I was up against the great Lycan,” Corbinughed, shaking his head at us.


    ‘But Ie to find out I am fighting this little human girl. I didn’t know you guys wanted her dead so


    bad.” He wrapped his arm around his belly and started chuckling again.


    ‘Anyway, the match is fixed. In 10 days, we will meet in the public square andpete for the crown,”


    he announced. I was on my way to leave when he stopped for only a few seconds to look me in the eye


    and say, “Oh, my goodness! I cannot wait to break your fragile bones and dig a grave for you with my


    own fucking hands,” he muttered, his eyes yelling how badly he wanted me dead.


    He rushed past me to the exit while we stayed in our spots cluelessly. Only todays!


    I could either get a wolf or train in these few days.


    ‘We have to find the missing people,” Theo mumbled under his breath, “Lazio, Maynard,


    Enya! we are headed to the woods,” he said out of the blue. I noticed the way Lazio and


    Maynard looked his way and nodded; it was a clear indication that they were all onto something, but


    they were keeping it from me.


    It was only then that I felt like I needed to speak to Lazio about Valerie onest time.


    The only way for Lazio to understand he had no chance with me was to reject him, and I was going to


    do that before I headed to the woods.
