Chapter One Hundred and Eleven

A small frown etched on my face.

"It is, that's his handwriting." I argued.

"Maybe, but that last line... it's not his words."

That had been my very thought, but maybe no one really knew my father.

"He knew I could do it."

"He mated you to me and gave me his pack too-to keep you safe. Why in the world would he send you to kill the person who he was trying to save you from?" he asked and stared at him, speechless.

"Did you kill her?" he asked. "The empress?"

I nodded.

"How?"

"Silver bullets. I shot her thrice in the heart."

"And you believe she is dead?"

"I shot..."noveldrama

"I know you shot her thrice, but if bullets could kill them, they would all be dead now, don't you think?" "What are you saying?" I asked. My hands shook slightly, so I clasped them together to steady them. "I'm saying there is a high possibility she still lives. I don't believe in their god but I know that physical methods are hardly ever enough to kill any of those empresses. They've been blessed with the gift of immortality- that's what I heard."

"I killed her. I watch her bleed."

"And then her body would be dipped into this strange pool, and she would come back to life, many years younger than she was before.

I was visibly shaking now. "I need to go back there; I need to kill her."

"No, you won't. Not when you don't have a clue on how to actually 'kill' her. I'm assuming she didn't see your face?"

I shook my head. "No, she didn't."

"Good, you have a chance. But then... What if the letter is not from your father? Handwriting can be copied, Kaida." He said it like he was speaking to a child.

"If it is not from him, then who was it from?"

"I don't know, perhaps someone that wants you dead. You can't rush into things, you need to think, when we are clear that this is truly a letter from your father, then we would have to research on how those creatures are killed." He finished, and I nodded.

"I should have known you would still find me.'

"I would have given you a week before I came searching for you, but then I changed my mind." He said, and his eyes darkened. "Is there anything else you would like to tell me, Kiada?"

Chapter One Hundred and Eleve

"I'm very sorry, I should have told you about all these, I messed up and this would have cost us both... I'm so sorry Alexander."

He nodded; this time when I hugged him, his hands were wrapped around me... loosely.

Something was different about him; I couldn't tell what exactly it was, but he seemed distant. **ALEXANDER'S POV**

All she had to do was tell me the truth, I would have forgive her if she explained it, but she kept silent and that was the worst of it all. She didn't care, at least not as much as I cared for her.

I wished I could put an end to what I felt for her and things would go back to how they used to be, but it was impossible. I was still relieved at the fact that she was alive and unhurt but I had made my own decision. If she was going to pretend that what she had done with her beta Aric never happened then I wasn't going to mention it either.

Slowly I felt my walls building. This wasn't the first time a person I cared about had lied to me. My very own parents lied to me, I was the fool to think she was a better person.

"We should return to the pack," I said to her. She nodded, then kissed my lips, her fingers trailing down my jaw. I couldn't deny how her touch turned me on, but I couldn't do this, I couldn't play whatever game she was trying to play. I pulled away from her kiss and gently placed her hands down to her lap.

"A ride is waiting not far from here. We don't have time-let's go."

The hurt in her eyes filled me with guilt, but I had to remind myself that she did this to herself.
