NovelApexChapter One Hundred and Forty Nine
“So | guess you didn’t exactly mean your words when you said ‘you hope | died?” she questions
“I thought I did; maybe | was wrong?”
“Do you know what | would have done if | were in your place?” She questioned, and | shook my head, indicating
a ‘no’. “I would have laughed right in your face before | stabbed you in the chest. Then I notify the others only
when | was sure you were dead. | would tell them that | found a dead body in the middle of the woods. Of course
they have no reason to doubt me.
If you had been expecting a thank you from me, then | am sorry to disappoint you. Shut the door on your way
out,” she said before resting back on the bed.
“Do you think | chere for the sole purpose of checking on you?” | questioned her, keeping the emotion off
my voice. | did cto check up on her, but she didn’t have to know this.
“Then why are you here?”
“I know there is more-something you are hiding, and | thought if | talked things out with you, you would be
willing to spill the beans,” | said truthfully.
“Well, you failed woefully,” she said. That was it. | rose to my feet.
“Why do you always have to be such a bitch?” | called out.
“You see yourself as shero for saving me, but you are not the hero; if you were, you would have gone for
those elders too, instead of sitting idle here, where you would be protected. You are nothing but a coward.”
“Maybe | did make a mistake; maybe | should never have helped you, and | apologize for that. | would try not to

“Who told you there would ever be a next time?”
| turned to her, my gaze fully on her. “You don’t seem to be able to move those hands right?” | continued before
she could speak, “That makes you defenseless, and as the cowardly person | am, this is a very good tto
attack; perhaps sparing your life was an unwise decision; | can correct all that here.” | said, my tone sharp as ice,
| almost couldn't believe it was coming from me. Maybe | too had a dark part; it might be hidden and buried, but
it was still there, and Bailey always did a very good job in bringing that part out.
She tried to look unfazed by my threat but | could sense her uncertainty. ‘Would she do it?‘ | could read the
question off her eyes; she might be an elder, but right now she was nothing but a person injured and helpless.
Bailey wasn’t exactly a good person; she had a history; just like the other elders, they had all ctogether to
administer brutal punishments on offenders, most times said ‘offenders’ were just those against their rule; the
fact that she had betrayed her clan didn’t change who

she was.
| walked out of the healing room. It was all a waste of time; she was too much of a bitch to reason with; there
was no need trying to.
It was very late; | couldn't tell exactly what had woken me, but my heart raced wildly.
Maybe it was just a bad dream.
Thane lay beside me, but there was something wrong with his breathing.
His eyes were closed, fast asleep, but he seemed to be having sinner turmoil.
| leaned in to kiss him, and that’s when | realized his temperature-he was literally burning up. | placed my hand
on his forehead to be sure, and | was right; his body was so hot, and coming to think about it, that might have
been what wokeup,
| rushed into the bathroom, collecting a bowl of warm water and a towel.
| dipped the towel into the bowl and placed it on his head. He groaned.
“Thane,” | called, but he didn’t wake.
If it were any other day, he would be awake the moment he sensed | was, but now... something's wrong.
Damn.. his body was burning up-like really, really hot-and the towel | placed on his head wasn’t helping.
“Thane,” | called again, this tpanicked, but yet again, there was no response.
| shook him. Nothing.
