Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 48

Ride and I share a look as I take the paper from Riley.

"Who wants you dead Riley?"

"I don't know Hailey, I was released earlier today heading to the room I spotted this " she points to the paper.

"At the foot of the door it saved me from a bullet someone was in the other room" she says cringing clutching the neck of her gown. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I have no one else to turn to Hailey, Lord Perry mandated my false pregnancy maybe he wants to get rid of me also”

"Looks like we're not the only ones on their list " I say, handing Ride the paper.

"Angel this says five"

"Yes I know" I reply, rubbing my throbbing head.

"That means there is a number four Angel" Ride points out.

My blood turns cold as I realize he is right.

There's still someone out there they want, is it Elijah?

How the hell are they able to cover so much ground? Why us?

Is this a warning or a threat?

Whatever the answer maybe I won't replace it lurking here.

"Ride you take care of her" I instruct, not trusting Riley one bit but the enemy of your enemy is your friend a temporary alliance goes a long way. "Where are you heading to?" Ride asks.

"To have a small talk with Lord Perry" are my last words as I walk through the door.

It wasn't hard to replace Lord Perry, he is in the study.

"I want to see Lord Perry" I say to the guard at the entry.

'You'll have to wait to see if he wants to see you," He says a bit rudely walking into the room.

A while later he steps in nodding. I should be permitted to get in.

He stands looking through the glass window view.

The room is packed with books and bookshelves.

"Well I never thought you had it in you" Lord Perry begins with a low growl.

"What do you mean?" I am mystified.

He turns slowly, his icy gaze boring into mine making me gulp but I don't back down taking shallow breaths as I meet his gaze calmly. "Hailey you're fighting a battle you can't win," He says simply stepping forward.

"A battle I shouldn't fight" I corrected.

"Who says

it is not your battle" he asks, cocking a brow.

"Well everyone around is getting hurt looks like it's not my battle"

"A battle nonetheless entails innocent people getting hurt"

"Even your son?"

"He has to learn the hard way to see the world will be a better place with

you

dead"

"So you admit it you want me dead"

"I've wanted you dead since I set my eyes on you but you're a hard person to kill"

"What have my family ever done to you, what did my mother ever do to deserve the death she got"

My hands' balls to a fist by my side, my anger raging within.

"Believe it or not, child,I am not your only enemy" I hate the way he calls me child.

"But you are an opponent nevertheless"

"I don't object to that the wicked hands of time had given my son the same faith I tried to walk away from"

"Looks like karma is a bitch" I say but hate that Jaden has to pay for his sins.

"You hate me so much you don't care if your own son is hurt"

"Why blame me for your deeds any harm done to him involves you causing it"

"I know about you and my mother's affair" I say ignoring his words and the gut feeling that he is right.

He looks at me skeptically.

"Seems you've met my ex-wife"

"Yes and imagine the lovely things she had to say about you"

He laughs, a low one that doesn't reach his eyes.

"I can only imagine"

"Malia had a child for you, who is he?"

"Ha!" He laughs now giving me his full attention.

"What the hell are you babbling about?"

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm saying" "And if I don't?"

"How's it possible Aitch knows and you don't?"

"Hailey, you amaze me honestly, are you going to retrace all your steps to replace out where everything went wrong?"

I know he's talking about that agonizing day.

"Only enough to clarify my father's name"

"Child

I you are only going to get people around you killed, you won't die trust me you're precious let me save you the trouble" Standing tall he looks at me calmly.

"The day it all went wrong was when you were given birth to"

"Hush child" He stops me from speaking.

“The gift of the bloodline isn't bestowed upon everyone in your pack they are chosen, your mother was the only one left till you were born, it took time to be certain and truly you were the special one giving them a reason to strike" "They kept your mother alive because she had the blood and you but I know they are keeping an eye on you every step of the way they are watching you"

"Who are these people you speak about?"

The door cracks open, turning around we both focus on the door.

"Well well well" A man walks in tall, handsome and scary, an a.deadly combination.

"Carter, what are you doing here?" Lord Perry scoffs.

"Only here to redeem my vow I made years ago"

"You're trespassing on my property" Lord Perry attests.

"You really should be a dead old man" He says looking directly at Lord Perry somehow this man terrifies me.

"You must be Hailey "Feebling with my fingers he kisses my knuckles lightly.

"Glad to finally meet you" He greets me sweetly but I hated everything about him even Helen growls in detest. "No one said you looked remarkably beautiful”

"What do you want Carter"

"Always ready for business I see"

"That's what has kept me alive" Lord Perry replies.

Making Carter harden his jaw.

"I heard Jaden Perry is down and probably die I'm here to challenge Jaden Perry for his position as Alpha"
