The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha – Chapter 66
RAYHAN
I turned sharply to see Dante standing there, reaching over he quietly shut the door. 4 “What do you mean she’s going to sacrifice herself?” I asked sharply. He looked down the hallway before motioning at me to follow him. Why did he act like a twenty-year-old rather than his age? This boy… but I was far more worried about what he had just said outside Mom’s room. 1 A thousand thoughts crossed my mind as he opened my bedroom door, making Raihana look at us questioningly. “You can leave.” Dante said to her, making her frown. “And what are you doing here?” She asked. “I came to see Delsanra.” He replied haughtily. Walking around the bed, he looked down at her. Side by side, it was clear that the veins on Delsanra’s skin were a lot worse. The asshat bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead, making Raihana smirk “Ah, the cousins are fighting over a girl.” She teased. “We aren’t. She’s mine.” I said, crossing my arms. I wanted to ask what he meant, but it was obvious he wasn’t planning on telling me until Raihana was gone. “You can go.” She stood up and stretched, “Sure, keep an eye on her…” She said, concern crossing her face.

Rage began overpowering all sense of logic. How dare they not tell me! Both her and Uncle. I had a right to know. “Rayhan.” Dante glared at me, and I glared back.

He was giving up the only thing that would work on me by promising me that he’d back off from Delsanra. “She is.” I said quietly. He nodded and I felt bad for him. “What do you want me to do?”

It didn’t help my irritation. “Then do you know who is going to do it?” Dante asked, watching me. “Maria.” Leo replied. So, everyone did f*****g know.
