Chapter 11 Chapter 11 I couldnt let it go . The hatred that burned inside me was too strong , too deep . I turned my gaze out the window , watching the darkened scenery blur past as Branwen drove . The familiar ache of my loss tightened in my chest , Yes , I said quietly , but with fierce determination . I wont end this easily . Not now that Ive started it . When we arrived home , I was greeted by the sleepy faces of my daughters , Joanne and Joey . Despite the late hour , they were still awake , their small bodies slumped with exhaustion but their eyes bright with excitement . Branwen glanced at em , his face softening slightly . They wouldnt go to bed until they saw you , he said with a helpless sigh . Joanne , her eyes wide with admiration , looked me up and down . Mummy , you look so pretty in your dress ! she said , her voice full of awe . Before I could respond , Joey chimed in with a grin . When is Mummy not pretty ? Even when shes not wearing a dress , Mummys the prettiest ! Their words warmed me , momentarily easing the tension that had been building inside me all night . I knelt down and hugged them both , feeling their tiny arms wrap around me in a comforting embrace . Thank you , my loves , I whispered , kissing the tops of their heads . I took them back to their room , tucking them into bed and watching as their eyes fluttered shut , their sweet faces finally relaxing into sleep . For a moment , I let myself feel the peace that came from being with them the love and warmth that softened the sharp edges of my heart . But it didnt last . Even as I watched them sleep , the hatred for Silas and Lena stirred within me once again . For the next week , I stayed away from Silas . I knew hed be searching for me , desperate for any scrap of information about where Id gone . Nash had mentioned that Silas was asking around about me , trying to get my address . The thought of him hunting for me amused me . I had let him stew in his confusion long enough . When I finally decided to make my next move , I took my time getting ready . I showered , then carefully chose a dress that hugged my body in all the right places . I slipped on a pair of heels and glanced at myself in the mirror . It was time to remind Silas just how captivating I could be . Shas had been busy with both his pack and the company he ran . I knew the route he took to get to his office , and I planned to intercept him there . I walked to the street where I knew his car would pass , then crouched down , pretending to adjust my shoe . Sure enough , it didnt take long for his sleek black car to come into view . As he approached , I timed it perfectly . I jogged out in front of his car , my heart racing as I pretended not to see him coming . His tires screeched as he slammed on the brakes , and I let out a gasp as I fell to the ground , clutching my ankle . The door to Silass car flew open , and he rushed toward me , his face a mixture of anger and concern . What the hell were you thinking ? he shouted , but his tone shifted as soon as he recognized me . Lorelei ? I looked up at him , my expression soft and apologetic . Im sorry , I said , wincing as I touched my ankle . I wasnt paying attention . Its my fault . Silass anger melted away , replaced by relief and joy . Are you hurt ? he asked , his hands already reaching out to help me up . His touch was gentle , and I could see the worry etched into his features . Youre not seriously hurt , are you ? 1 shook my head , biting my lip as I pretended to test my weight on my foot . Just a little sprain , I said . Its nothing serious . Silass face softened , his eyes filled with concern . Im just glad youre okay , he murmured , his voice low . If something had happened to you , I dont know what Id do . His words hung in the air between us , and for a moment , I let the tension stretch , watching as he tried to piece together his feelings . I had him now Right where I wanted him . 12:28 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 19.6 % Chapter 11 No , it was my fault , I said , shaking my head slightly . I shouldve been paying more attention . Silas smiled , a flicker of something tender crossing his face . No , it was my carelessness . Luckily , nothing happened to you , or I wouldnt have forgiven myself , I held his gaze for a moment longer , knowing that each interaction was drawing him closer into my web . This was just the beginning , and I was far from finished . I winced as I shifted , the pain from my ankle flaring up again . Silas immediately noticed , his concern evident . He helped me onto a nearby bench , his touch both gentle and strong . Without a word , he shrugged off his jacket and set it beside me , kneeling down to inspect my injury . How is it ? Do you feel better ? His voice was calm , but there was an underlying edge of worry . I could tell that he genuinely cared about my well being , and for a moment , I almost forgot why I was really here . qked down at my ankle , biting back the pain . It still hurts a bit , I admitted . Could you get me some medicine to put on it ? I said that on purpose , attempting to stump Silas with the excuse of getting the medicine . Without hesitation , Silas stood up . Wait here , Ill be back in a moment , he said , and he was gone before I could respond . As I sat there , alone with my thoughts , I felt an impulse rise within me . A plan Id been toying with for a while suddenly felt like it was time to execute .
