The Alpha's Fated Mate Is an Outcast-Chapter 119

Keona, Amora, and every one of them glanced at each other, a deep breath fleeing from there.

They had been so worried, not knowing if they could fully convince her. If she had said no, everything would have been for nothing.

Kaelis half smiled, but it was half-mixed with sympathy.

"My mother," Alexis spoke. "We need to go to the hospital. She hasn’t been buried."

Keona looked at her.

"Your mother...is actually here."

"What?" She blinked rapidly. "Here? How so? What do you mean?"

Keona proceeded to explain.

"As I told you before, we’ve already seen everything through the vision, so after meeting and talking with Augustus, we took her body from the hospital."

Alexis stared at her with a dumbfounded look on her face. "Wait, wait, how did you do that? They wouldn’t just give you her body."

Keona darted her eyes around and began to fidget with her fingers.

"Well...we didn’t exactly ask for it."

"Then, what did you do?"

"We stole it," she responded. "And Lorcan helped."

"Hey, don’t involve me in this." Lorcan shot them a look. "I only did what I was asked."

Amora stepped up. "We didn’t leave her in the hospital because we assumed you’d want her here, where you could finally bury her and properly mourn her. We are sorry...if we have done something wrong."

Alexis stared at them. Her lips kept parting and closing, before she asked, "Why didn’t you guys just...tell me about these instead of doing it behind my back and abducting me?"

Kaelis spoke this time around.

"Alexis, look deep inside yourself and tell yourself the truth. If we had told you any of this, would you really have willingly come with us? Would you have left the alpha?"

Alexis met his eyes. She didn’t say a word, but from the look on her face, they knew Kaelis was right. She wouldn’t have agreed and she wouldn’t have come with them.

Drawing a deep breath, she turned and walked to the door. "I want to be alone. Nobody should bother me." The door was slammed shut.

She walked around the house and stopped when she saw a door that led to the backyard of the mansion.

Alexis stepped out and lifted her head to a massive field of a garden. For the sort of person Lorcan was, she didn’t think he liked pretty things—definitely not a pretty aesthetic.

She made sure not to step on any of the well-grown flowers in the field as she headed straight for the white swing situated at the very center of the field.

Why would he have a swing? It was a beautiful one.

Slowly, Alexis took a seat on the swing and gradually began to rock herself back and forth. The soft rain that was barely falling, dropped on her, but she seemed rather unbothered by it. If anything, she was in deep thought.

She still vividly recalled the dream she had of her mother. It had felt so real, that even now, she could still feel the touch of her hand.

She’d told her to trust those women—that she was related to them in a way she couldn’t imagine.

But Alexis was confused.

What way? No matter how hard she wracked her brain, she couldn’t seem to remember ever seeing those women—she had never met them before.

She was also more than sure that her mother knew who her killer was—that it was Althea. So why did she refuse to tell her? Why did she leave so fast? Did she simply only come to her to wash off the guilt in her heart? But that was impossible.

Alexis knew that she would never stop feeling guilty for her mother’s death, after all, if she had come much earlier—maybe even visited every day, none of what happened would have taken place.

A deep breath fled from her, and the wetness in her eyes broke.

"Kid...?"

Her head snapped to the side so fast at the sound of that voice to find Sereia seated and peering at her with a soft expression. She looked a bit tired, but her golden eyes were smiling at her.

"R-reia? Sereia?"

"Aw, you sound like you really missed me. Well I’m here no—"

Alexis grabbed her and pulled her into the tightest hug, holding as if that if she let go, Sereia would disappear, never to be seen again.

"Kid, you’re crushing me. Y-you have to let go, my organs, I can’t breathe."

Alexis let go and began to chuckle at the sort of happiness she hadn’t felt in a while. "I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s just...I thought you had left me. I thought I was never going to see you again."

"Really?" Sereia asked and chuckled. "I told you that I can’t leave or abandon you. I’m stuck here and if I’m never around, it simply means that I’m in a nice sleep, recuperating so I don’t fall into a coma."

Alexis blinked at her.

"Co...ma? You could fall into a coma?"

Sereia nodded. "Yes. That’s why I take my sleep when it is needed—before I get too tired. If I don’t and continue to lose my strength, it will get to a point where I will collapse against my will and when I do, I’ll instantly fall into a coma."

Alexis couldn’t, but just gaped and moped at her.

"Common now, don’t mope. None of that will happen, because I’m not going to allow it, do you understand? I’m never going to leave you because I’m going to be too worried about you, girl." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

She chuckled and gently proceeded to lift Seria from the swing seat—to hold her on her lap, despite her weight. Her fingers carded into her warm fur and she caressed softly, a relief, soft smile on her face.

"I missed you...a lot."

"Of course you did, girl. It would be weird if you didn’t."

"It felt so oddly lonely without you. Not having someone to speak to and turn to in every situation. I felt like I was losing my mind."

Sereia went still in her hold and whimpered softly under her breath. "I’m sorry, kid..."

"It’s okay. I’m just glad that you’re here now. Also, a lot has happened—"

"I know," Sereia glanced at her. "Even if I was asleep, I was aware and I could hear everything, including the truth that Althea killed your mother."
