Mated to Four Alphas-Chapter 338: Flashback - 78

Silas’s POV

After that, we played some more games in which I was the villain. I was the witch who eats humans. It was such a funny and interesting role. And again, Velric was first my assistant who was helping me to eat humans—means he was on the villain’s side and suddenly became the hero.

As the four of them shouted for help and begged the hero to appear, Velric left my side and became the hero.

We played so much. It was so fun. And after playing, Damon was spinning Velric around in the air, holding him, and Velric couldn’t stop giggling.

Velric was happy experiencing that. After that, we went and ate dinner even though we had had snacks. Still, it’s a rule to eat dinner, and we all ate. And then, fell asleep!

The next day, I did all my work. But well, of course, Velric was learning everything. The royal teacher had come to teach him everything—singing, royal dance, basic etiquette, and the history of the pack. Everything.

And when all his classes were done, he came into my office and sat down there. He was playing all by himself, and with some servants too.

When my work was done, I realized it was already so late in the night. And Velric was still awake. Even though we had dinner, still after that I started to work again.

And now it’s already the middle of the night, so I was feeling guilty—why didn’t I pay attention to him? And even after eating, he was still playing there, waiting for me. Of course, he can’t fall asleep without me.

"Okay, enough with playing today. Velric, let’s go. It’s time to sleep, my boy."

I picked him up and came out from the office, and found out that the four of them still had more than a thousand files to review. Now, if they didn’t review them, then the whole budget would get messed up.

So they needed to do it. It means I’m going to sleep alone now. I went into the bedroom, put Velric down on the bed, changed my clothes before sleeping, and while patting him, I closed my eyes.

I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep, but just then, I heard a noise. And that noise made me wake up.

And when my eyes opened—

And when my eyes opened, they directly landed on Velric. He was still sleeping. I adjusted his blanket.

Ever since Velric was born, I’ve become a light sleeper. Even if Velric touches my hand in his sleep, I quickly wake up. I was not like this when I was unmarried. Even if an earthquake happened, I wouldn’t be able to wake up.

At that time, I was a heavy sleeper—but not now.

But then I realized that I heard something—that’s why I woke up. If Velric is still sleeping, then what was that sound? I sat up while rubbing my eyes and looked around to see if any of the four had come to sleep.

But suddenly, my eyes caught someone standing near the bed.

My eyes were a little blurry, so I couldn’t see the face. I rubbed my eyes and suddenly saw—it was that alpha... what was his name? Yes, Krivan. He was standing near the bed, near our feet. I was shocked when my eyes noticed him, and the window was also open.

It means he came inside the room through the window. What are the guards doing? How did they let anyone sneak into this room? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Guards! Guards!" I shouted with all my power so the guards could come inside. But there was no sound from outside, even after I shouted that much.

I believe my voice was loud enough to wake anyone from their sleep—but not Velric. Then why didn’t the guards who are guarding the bedroom hear my voice? They should have come to help me.

My daggers were also not with me—but it’s not that I can’t do anything to him with bare hands.

"No one will come here, Silas. So, don’t waste your breath," he said.

And I realized, hearing him, that something was wrong. Am I dreaming right now? I felt like it—but it was too real to say it’s a dream. And his eyes suddenly went to Velric.

"Let me tell you something very interesting, Silas. Do you still remember how Lysander was possessed years ago? That was me who did that to him. And now I want to do the same with this kid. What do you think? It’s a great choice, right?"

My eyes widened hearing that—it was him behind Lysander’s possession. But wait, how can he do that? Something is not right. Does this alpha know black magic? Is that why, even when I screamed for help, no one came?

I quickly went and covered Velric with the quilt. I hid him under it so that Krivan wouldn’t be able to do anything.

I know doing this is not going to change anything, still—I have to save my child at any cost. After covering Velric, I stepped down from the bed and stood in front of him.

"What are you doing here? And how did you get in?" I asked softly, because I know if I show anger at him now, what’s going to happen.

Since it’s not looking like the situation is normal here. And he himself admitted he was behind Lysander’s accident.

And if something like that really happens to my son—no. I can’t let this happen. That’s why I have to protect my child at any cost.

"Why did you get married? Why? They have everything! Their parents love them. They have fortune. They didn’t have a bad childhood. No one ever bullied them. No one ever tortured them. They didn’t starve to death. Still, you chose them."

I didn’t understand for a second what he was babbling. And first of all, what does he mean by "I chose them"? And "bully," "starve to death"... is he talking about what he had suffered, and they didn’t? It was all out of my mind—because I am not that much of a genius to understand this man.

"What do you mean by this?" I asked.

"Did you forget everything? We met at the party, and you said I was handsome. If I’m handsome, then why didn’t you wait for me? Why didn’t you choose me? And you even have a kid with them. You betrayed me, Silas. You betrayed me."

"You know, since childhood, I had only one hope, and the light of my life—and it was you. I loved you since childhood. I just wanted you to be mine. I wanted your eyes to only see me. You should only care about me. You should only love me. Why did all this happen? Why did things go wrong?"

He was talking all by himself. He wasn’t letting me talk. He was telling me so many things, but I only understood one thing—that he loved me.

And he’s complaining now that I got married to the four of them and have kids. That’s why he came into my room in the middle of the night to say all this bullshit to me.

"Hey, wait, hold your horses for a moment. You said you loved me—but have you ever confessed to me? No, you didn’t. So how would I know you loved me? And the way you’re telling all this—it’s like we were in a relationship and I ditched you and got engaged to them."

"No, it’s nothing like this. They were the first ones I dated, and I got married to them. And I didn’t even know about your feelings. So don’t say that I betrayed you. And how would I know about your feelings? Did you think I’m a god who knows everything?"

His eyes widened after hearing me. He was scratching his head.

"And did you just sneak into my room to tell me all this? If yes, then get out of here. I won’t punish you. Just get out now."

But as these words left my mouth, his shocked face turned cold. His eyes were glaring at me. They were sharp. His voice, like his facial expression, was cold now.

"Silas, come to my side. Leave all of them—your mates, kid—and just be by my side. Come live with me. I will love you forever, take good care of you, and I will adore you."

"Are you out of your mind? Why would I go with you when I’m already married and I don’t even love you?"

Suddenly, he took a step toward me, and his hands stretched. I didn’t understand, and he started to strangle me.

All I could see was his hand on me, and he was standing so close while strangling me. I tried to break free from his grip, but it was too hard.

His grip was only tightening on my throat. Making me unable to breath. My head was also getting heavy.
