202 Lillian Wanted Five Months
Ronan Silverback was infuriated.
He wanted to claw at the woman in front of him.
He wanted to make her suffer.
But at the same time, he wanted to make himself suffer even more.
Lillian’s words were as sharp as a judgment spear that stabbed through his body and pinned him to the ground.
By instinct, Ronan knew that the woman spoke the truth.
It was Ronan who showed his mother the pictures of the belt.
It was Ronan who asked his mother if she saw it before.
He could faintly remember what his mother said about the belt.
.....
“I feel like I have seen it before, but I cannot be sure.”
“The design is very nice, too. Simplistic but elegant. I like it.”
The conversation took place the last time they went out to have dinner together. It happened in the privacy of his own car.
Only a handful of people knew about the belt.
Kinnon and Bjorn.
Ronan and Lucien.
Ronan was the one who shared the belt pictures with his mother.
If Ronan had not tried to seek an answer from his mother, his mother would not have launched an investigation on her own.
It was his fault.
It was his fault his mother died.
Ronan shook uncontrollably in his seat.
He condemned Dane Silverback for the despicable way he treated his mother’s body after death, but the person who sent her to her death was none other than Ronan!
Her own son!
The Alpha let out a sorrowful howl.
Lillian flinched in her seat. She gave the pained Alpha in front of her a commiserative look.
She curled her trembling fingers into fists, resting them on her lap.
Although she knew that it pained Ronan to continue talking about this subject, she had to continue. She needed Ronan to agree to her proposal.
“Look, I am not going to pretend to be a saint and act as if I have nothing to gain from this arrangement.
Please, Ronan. You want to know the truth about who killed your mother and set you up in a conflict with the Night Prowler Pack. I just want to safely give birth and take my child away.”
“Why do you need me for that?” Ronan asked once he was calm enough to speak again.
“For as long as you acknowledge the child as yours and accept me into your pack, the person will not do anything else,” Lillian said, tears started falling from her beautiful eyes.
“Please. If you refuse to, they are going to kill my baby.”
Ronan sighed into his steepled hands.
“I can guarantee your safety,” Ronan said. “I can make sure that you come unscathed if you tell me right now who the person is. I will even arrange for you to start a new life somewhere hidden. You will be able to live the rest of your life in peace.”
Sobbing loudly, Lillian shook her head.
Ronan Silverback was not one to break his promises, but how could Lillian be sure that Ronan could deliver?
What if he lost against the villain?
Up until now, he did not even know that his own mother had fallen victim to an evil scheme that played out behind his back!
Lillian simply could not take the risk.
“Ronan Silverback, even if I tell you now, you are not going to be able to detain the person,” she stated.
“The mastermind is going to be released due to lacking evidence. You will lose your chance and I will be in danger.”
Ronan banged a fist on his armrest and covered his face with his other hand.
“Then what is the point of waiting???” He shouted. “If I can’t get the person now, I will not get him even after the baby is born!”
“No,” Lillian shook her head. “You will, I promise.”
Ronan clenched his jaw and stared at the sobbing mess in front of him.
“I need time,” Lillian tried hard to convince him. “Give me time. By accepting me into your pack, the person will be relaxed enough to cover his crimes one by one. I will personally dig out the evidence and present them to you. All you need to do is trust me and wait.”
“I need to talk to Lucien first,” Ronan said after a while.
He needed Lucien to understand.
He needed Lucien to agree.
Until Lucien agreed to partake in Lillian’s plan, Ronan was unable to make any promises.
The Alpha staggered to his feet and stumbled toward the door, but he was stopped by Lillian. The woman stepped before him and stretched her arms out to block the man from reaching the door.
“No!” Lillian cried. “You cannot tell your mate.”
Ronan furrowed his brows at Lillian
“Why not?”
“If he knows, he too will be a target.”
Ronan scoffed. Lillian underestimated Lucien too much.
“Lucien is not dumb. He knows how to play along.”
“He won’t unless he remains oblivious to this whole scheme,” Lillian insisted. “Ronan, do you want the same thing to repeat? Do you want Lucien to lose his life?”
A sorrowful roar escaped Ronan’s throat. He clawed at his head, trying to escape from the horrible images that his brain painted before his eyes.
Lucien’s weakened state on the couch appeared before his mental eyes.
Lucien inside a casket. Pale and lifeless.
The burning flame of the mortuary, the merciless fire that engulfed his mother and turned her into a pile of ash.
No, Ronan shouted in his head.
“No,” he cried. “Not Lulu. Nothing must happen to Lulu!”
Lillian closed her eyes and sniffled silently.
“You want to protect your mate and I want to protect my child. You can understand that, right Alpha Ronan? Let’s cooperate.”
Ronan looked up at Lillian. The woman was a bundle of tears.
“Five months,” she begged. “Only five months.”
“Please give me five months.”
Ronan did not answer.
He went past Lillian and moved toward the door.
This time, he was able to turn the handle and escape the room.
