Alexandra gasped, flabbergasted. She couldn't believe he did this.
"How could you?"
Adam gives her a suspicious look. He sensed she had already solved the answer to the riddle. "What are you talking about?"
"What did you do to him?"
"You found out" Adam grinned, scratching his hair. "You've always been smart"
"What?"
Adam applauds her widening his smile. "I should get you a gift. What would you prefer? Flowers or chocolate"
"Your blood"
"What?" He chuckled.
"What I want is your blood. Is your blood that will undo what you did"
"You pushed me. He pushed me, I only played my game"
"You are didn’t play fair”
Leaning closer to the bar, Adam whispered. "Life is not fair so why should I play fair"
"Ha!"
"Think about it, I wanted to be the Alpha. If I had been the Alpha, all of these would have been avoided. You would have probably been married off to crimson clan or perhaps been my Luna but the you double crossed me"
Alexandra glared at him, she wasn't stupid. If he had been the Alpha, he would have killed her on the day of his coronation. That was what he did in her past life and so he was going to do it again.
"All of this started because of your greed Alexandra. Your greed"
"You are out of your mind. My greed? You are the one who told me to seat out of the ceremony. You told me to support you but you never asked me what I wanted. Now who is greedy between us?"
"I've always wanted this"
"Same as me but I was ready to play fair. It was supposed to be mine yet I had to compete for it. Since when do Alpha's compete to lead the pack"
"You should stayed out like I told you to"
"Well I didn't!" Alexandra said aloud. "I didn't. I fought you and it felt so good whooping your ass"
Adam frowned. The way she had knocked him out shot through his mind but he pushed it aside.
"Now I have the upper hand, at least. I laughed last since I won the battle"
"The war hasn't been won yet"
"Look around you Alexandra, there is no one coming for you. Nathaniel will meet his demise quite soon. I made sure about that"
"By poisoning him"
His face softens. "It felt so good" He laughed as a memory shot through his mind. "I gave him a chance to surrender, I would have shown him mercy"
"Can you explain what mercy means"
"What I showed you is mercy"
"We strike a deal. My position for him to let him live but he's…" She pauses hating to say that word. That word that has been lingering in her head repeatedly yet she was pushing it away. But she had discovered the truth and there was no denying it. It will only hurt her even more.
"He's dying. Withering slowly like the flowers in your garden. How ugly they've become since your absence Alexandra"
"Nathaniel is not dying!" She said, assuring herself that she would save him. But how?
