Embraced by a Heartless Mate, Ceferine Young [good books for 8th graders txt] 📗

carefully, trying not to be caught by anyone. I suddenly heard Caleb’s voice. I flinched. He was growling. He was so angry. He was in rage. Rage. Could it be that I felt what Caleb was feeling at the moment? It was Caleb’s rage, not mine. I tried to listen.

 

“I never thought it was you!” Caleb growled. I couldn’t see who he was talking to so I went a little closer, careful as I possibly could. I saw a man, wrists tied with silver chain, kneeling on the ground. He was covered with cuts and bruises... blood all over his face and body. I gasped. He looked so beaten up. Did Caleb do this?

 

“I-It’s not me, Alpha.” said the beaten man. I recognized his voice. My eyes widen when I realized who it was. He was one of the 5 who abducted me—Luke! I covered my mouth with my 2 shaking hands in so much shock.

 

“You cannot lie, you know that?” Caleb said, stoop down a little and stared at Luke’s bloody face. His eyes went from emerald green to black. “Tell me everything you told them.”

 

Luke stiffened. “I told them that you found your mate. I told them where to find her and what she looks like.” He said with a blank expression, as if he was like a robot. What just happened? Who’s them?

 

“Other than that, did you say anything else?” Caleb interrogated.

 

“No, Alpha.” Luke answered in a monotone.

 

“Good.” Caleb smiled and with just one swipe of his hand, he sliced Luke’s neck. Big amount blood gushed out of the large wound.

 

I let out a scream. I was sure Caleb and the others who witnessed the scene heard me because they all turned to where I was. I ran as fast as I could back to the mansion as tears fell from my eyes. Caleb killed him. I saw his face. There was no sign of emotion. It was cold. His eyes were cold.

 

I didn’t notice anything as I ran fast. It was too late when I realized someone was already standing in front of the double doors of the house.

 

Caleb.

 

“Hello, Love. Out for a run, I see.”
