《Oops! Still Your Mate 》全部章節：第 61 章 - 第 70 章

It didn't take long before the team converged again. Tessa had adapted, become more stronger. Not just in spells but in emotions, Lucas had learnt to look away because somehow, he had figured that was the only thing he could do.Zeke sent for all of them after dinner and by midnight, they were at his chambers. Seated beside ivy, he placed everything he had gotten before them and watched their reactions. He placed the intercepted message on the table, carefully dropped the documents from the greenhouse, evidence of Petra's testimony and the knowledge he had gotten from Darius's search party during ivy's abduction. Other split moments where Darius had somehow showed he was against him in public was in a separate file. He looked at the three faces with him and laid out what he intended to do. Not now. Not immediately. But soon. He had enough evidence already. And the waiting part was the only part Tessa didn't understand. She had never been good at waiting. “Then why are you waiting?”

Tessa trailed behind the guard, keeping her distance from him, her heart racing in her chest. She had acted composed and calm when needed. She had cheered ivy, reminded her that the plan was set on ice and was already in motion because she had to. Because she couldn't see ivy panicking. Now, the weight of the plan dwelled on her. When she was alone. She could feel the air pressing down on her chest and she sighed. She felt ivy's presence somewhere close by and she instantly knew ivy was not alone. Zeke was there and Lucas was there too, probably. She didn't want to believe any time again, at least not yet. People whispered and pointed fingers at her when she walked past and she only smirked. She just realized the full extent of the event she had pulled earlier with Darius.Darius.The name sat heavily on her chest. The way he had dismissed her and later called for her. She had caught the flirting look of recognition that spread across his eyes for a second before he adjusted it. R

Inside the torture room, Tessa bowed her head, beads of sweat dropping from her head. Trails of blood walks down her chin and Darius is standing over her.“What do you know?” He asked again.Tessa chuckled and raised her head to show her torn lips and the tears walking down her face. “Do you really want to know?” she asked. “Do you really want to know how much I know about what you did years ago?”She watched his fists clench before he released them again. “I thought so.” “For the last time, Tessa, what do you know?” He took a step closer to her. “Everything!” Tessa yelled. “Everything you thought no one would ever find out. Pretty surprising that you failed to cover your tracks. That you messed the fuck up.” She spat. “You can't know everything.” Darius chuckled. “I've seen people, child and I know when someone is uncertain. You don't know anything.” He smiled.“Maybe you're right.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe I don't know everything.” She said. “But I know enough and I wo

“Now!” Ivy told Zeke and he acknowledged. He turned to Lucas and gave the instruction. It was just the two of them and ivy as they were still trying to contain it as much as they could. Away from the prying eyes of pack members.Zeke and Lucas dash for the torture room and Ivy followed behind them. When they arrived there, guards were positioned at the door of the room and even on seeing Zeke arrive, they made no attempt in moving aside.“Move.” Lucas instructed impatiently. The guards exchanged glances and stood where they were, not moving.“I said move!” Zeke roared and they flinched backwards. Then one gathered the courage to speak. “Alpha Darius had ordered that no one should be allowed in, especially you.” He said. “I thought we only have one alpha in this pack.” Ivy chipped in. “Seems Darius is trying to tell you that he has more influence against you in your pack.” Lucas pointed out. Zeke frowned and brought his fingers to pinch the space between his eyes. “And he's winning

By the next morning, the whole pack had gotten to know of Zeke and Darius's fall out. Side comments were made, some mentioned that it was about ivy and the statement of Ivy bringing about only problems to the pack surfaced again, quickly becoming an heated argument.The news of the fallout was strengthened by the emergency meeting that Darius called by morning. One that Zeke wasn't informed about. Ivy found out about it late, through Tessa who had mentioned that her dad had been invited. The two girls arrived the venue and sneaked in. Darius saw them but said nothing. Then the meeting started. “I would love to thank all members of the council that made it here this early, with such a short notice.” Darius began, his eyes fixated on ivy and Tessa that stood at the very end of the hall. “This meeting had been called in good faith over my nephew which we all know is as stubborn as anything. I had earlier mentioned this to him but he failed to give me a reasonable answer but I'm also a
