Chapter 145
Val’s blood seeped through the cracks of his teeth, gums slightly punctured from his canines elongating
at random times from the feral responses his wolf was lashing out with. I let a frown form on my face. I
was sitting in front of him, Isaac hovering behind his figure with incredible restraint. Veins were popping
out on his arm that held onto Val’s hair.
He’s practically shaking with anger.
“Oh Val,”
I sigh out, crossing my legs in front of him.
“You do understand that your defiance isn’t only bad for you, right?”
For a split second fear flashed through his eyes. But he was quick to discern it as a smirk played out on
his face.
“Fio is a strong wolf. She won’t break under you.”
I grin to Val’s surprise.
1 nod, uncrossing my legs to stand and begin to circle around him. His wolf finds it intimidating, eyes
warily looking in all direction as I take my time surveying him.
“You’re right. She’s strong.”
I make a stop right behind him, placing my hands on his shoulders to feel his muscles tightening from
fear. leaning down, I whisper in his ear,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“-Only, I wasn’t just talking about your beloved mate.”
Val’s head whips to look at me, a frantic look in his eyes as he forces himself to decode my words. Oh
Goddess, the man was so gullible.
“W–what’re you talking about?”
I hummed, sparing a glance at Isaac. He’s already looking at me, a smirk on his face as he pulls Val’s
hair harder to keep him upright. Val flinches, growling in anger at the way he was treated but focused
on me again. I could see the gears in his head turning. A uncertain answer in his head bringing forth
anxiety, confusion, joy but undeniable fear tying everything together.
Running a hand down his chest, I let my palm rest on–top of where his heart should be.
“Well this is kind of sad. I didn’t expect to be the one delivering the news, but oh well.”
The adrenaline inside him is kicking in, his heart rate skyrocketing as he hangs onto my words.
“Congrats,”
I smile, pulling away as I grasp his jaw in my hand. The door to the cell opens revealing Noah dragging
Fio by the shackles into the room. Val begins to thrash around, seeing his mate whimper and scream to
be let go. He pulls and tugs at the chains binding him, growling out his frustration at being held down
that he almost doesn’t hear what I say next,
“-You’re a dad.”
Immediately, Val stops moving. He slowly looks at me, the fear that he tried so hard to hide now out in
the open as he stares at Fio.

Chapter 145
Fío sobs, her mouth gaping open as she takes in the sight of her mate all bloodied and bruised.
“Y–you can’t-”
Val tries his hardest to form words but he can’t. He’s too in shock.
“M–my pup.”
I feign a look of pity, leaning down to his face. His eyes are still glued to his mate, never leaving her
when I tell him,
“You took my pup, so you can’t really blame me if I take
!
yours.”
Val’s lips tremble as his eyes meet mine. Seeing the certainty in my eyes makes him shake. His wolf no
longer focusing on his anger and instead submitting in fear for his mate and pup. He shakes his head,
muttering strings of ‘no’s‘ and pleas but I don’t listen. I don’t have the heart to.
“Y–you wouldn’t be so cruel as to involve an innocent pup!”
he shouts after me.
At this, I couldn’t resist but to look at him. The terror in his face doubles when he sees how deathly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmserious l’am.
“Shall we test that theory?”
Jask with a smile. He struggles harder. The chains binding his body burning into his skin as he lets
out hisses and howls of pain. But he doesn’t cease his movements. He tries his hardest to get out of
the restraints. I walk my way to Fio, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her up until her feet no longer
touched the floor. She’s far too weak to do anything. Her body hangs limply from my grasp as she
stares down at me in horror just waiting for what happens next.
“Stop! Fuck–Stop! Please, I’ll tell you anything!”
I crane my head to look at Val, his pleading eyes glazed with tears beginning to roll down his cheeks.
Sighing out my approval, I drop Fio to the ground where Noah immediately holds her down. Walking to
the chair I once sat at, I take my seat and smile at the broken expression on Val’s face,
“I–I’ll tell you everything I know… just- please don’t hurt her.”
Folding my hands on my lap, I smirk,
“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“The attack at Duskfall was a threat to Nightwake.”
Val explains,
“I–i don’t know exactly what he wanted, but Nightwake has something he wants there. He’d made
threats to the Alpha, demanding whatever it was he wanted but Nightwake never responded. They’d
been completely mute with the threats.”
