Chapter 133
*xkkxErika's POV*¥kkx
So the person whom | had killed that day on the cliff was Serenity's brother?
| listened carefully, despite freezing as she explained her brother's side of the story and how he cforward,
towards me.
Because of that electrocution just now, I felt my senses dull and exhaustion sipping into my bones.
| felt light headed, the gag on my mouth adding to my discomfort, but | could clearly make out sof the
words from them.
| watched Serenity acting like the victim and | as the Villainess who killed her innocent brother.
If I hadn't killed her brother, he would have killed me. So everything | did was also out of self defense.
But all these were the least of my worries, my main surprise was that Alex was helping. He was actually
confronting Serenity on my behalf.
I watched in silence as their conversations continued.
"Serenity, leave Erika alone. You don't need to punish her, it was all self defense."
"Say that again and I'll drop her down there." Serenity replied with a psychopathic smile.
Alex swallowed and turned in my direction again, but | averted my gaze from his. "Don't drop it." He said in a soft
tone. "What if | propose something?"
| frowned at that question, proposing what?
"Propose what?" She asked.

"Since you've always wanted me, I'll give myself to you but in exchange, you have to let Erika go."
At those words, | felt my heartbeat accelerate and before | could hold myself back, | found myself shaking my
head and trying to lash out at Serenity.
How dare Alex make such a proposal?!
Serenity's face broke out into a small smile as she stared betweenand Alex.
"| could consider that." She said and | shook my head again.
She raised a questioning brow at me, "why are you shaking your head? Don't tellyou still feel something for
him after everything he did to you?"
| blinked, her words bringingback to reality. Indeed, why was | reacting this way?
After everything he did to me, | am supposed to loathe him so much and wish him evil, but | did nothing of such
and even want to safe.
| looked up at Alex and his gaze met mine as well.
We stared at each other for a while, before | averted my gaze to fix it on Serenity.
| gulped, not being able to understand how | feel at the moment.
"I'll take your silence as a no, you don't love him. So I'll have him."
| clenched my fist in anger, envisioning the union of Alex and Serenity. It left a sore taste on my tongue just
imagining them together.
| hated Alex for how he treated me, but | just couldn't find myself hating him at this point. He did everything he
did in the past because he was manipulated by that bitch. Kat was right that he has changed. He is willing to
give himself in exchange forto be saved.
"Someone go loosen her up." | heard her say and a guard began to walk forward.
| breathed in and out, knowing that | would be set free from these shackles soon.
Finally, the guard loosened all the cables and broughtdown. | fell on my knees the moment my feet touched
the ground.
Jace rushed over towhile the other guards pulled Alex over.
The sspray that was sprayed in my face, the one that weekend my Alpha strength was also sprayed on him
and he went weak.
Serenity beamed atand said, let you go today because he saidd should | can forgive all of you as long as
Alex and | get mated to each other."
Over my dead body will | let Alex end up with that lady.
| mustered up the strength and flung the dagger had stolen from the guard who loosenedin his direction.
The silver blade went through and the guard dropped dead, leaving just one guardand Serenity.
A small smirk formed on my face the moment | saw the horror that flashed in her eyes.
"How dare you?!" She shrieked, and my guards already surrounded her, trapping her in a circle and rendering
her helpless.
Serenity glared atand said, "I gave you one chance to be set free, but you chose to be stupid. Now watch
how | destroy you and all your men."The moment she finished those words, silver blades flew from different
directions towards my men. The blades killed albmy men in one swift motion.
Dread filledas | glanced at Jace who glared at her.
But | saw no one around, the people that might have flung those blades out.
Serenity laughed out loud, finally losing it as she stared atwith a smirk.
"You know, | would have killed your brother as exchange for mine, but he isn't a blackwood."
There goes that talk about not being a Blackwood.
"What do you mean he is not a Blackwood?!" | yelled out, angering clouding my
mind hearing all of these.
She smiled and looked at Jace, "Why don't you tell her?"
| blinked at those words, then turned to Jace.
"Jace, tellwhat? What are you hiding from me?" | asked, my voice betraying
the confidence | was trying to portray.
Jace bit his lips and averted his gaze.
"Erika..." he drawled.
| clenched my fist and asked through gritted teeth.
"Jace...... Tellthe truth, Are you a Blackwood or not?"
He stayed silent for a while and finally decided to spill the truth.
"l am not a Blackwood."
I shivered at those words, the swords | wished would be a lie all these while.
"If you're not a Blackwood, then who are you?!" | yelled out as tears began to fall from my eyes.
How could this happen?
"| am a Hart. Jace Hart, the rightful heir to the Thunderclaw pack Alpha position."
