After Breaking The Mark His Desperate Chase (Sarah) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 234 

“We thought you died.” 

My head snaps back to Fio who went on and on unceasingly. 

“Draxyn said he got to you. You and that- that little girl. Said he threw you two along with 

e Alpha and Luna. We sent another letter after that. I help write it, you know?” 

Her face brightened, 

“I was the one who helped Xeneron send out the threats to Duskfall. Told your father you died with that girl. We were tying to guilt him you see…Didn’t work though…Draxyn must be so angry you’re still alive…” 

She blinks and then her face voids of emotion. All traces of her joy are replaced by this 

blank canvas. It’s unsettling. The switch of her personalities puts me on guard. She cracked. 

“Where’s Val? You said you’d bring my mate.” 

There’s a struggle now as she tries to swivel her head from side to side. She wants to get a better look around the cell. Perhaps she thinks her mate is here, just not in eyesight. Fio whines as she tries to pull free from the straps. Burns from the silver embedded into the harnesses marks her skin but she doesn’t care. If anything it encourages her behavior. 

“Val!” 

She shouts, aggravated. 

“Val! I’m here! Val!” 

She turns her venomous glare at me, 

“Bring him here you dead bitch! It’s all your fault, all your fault! You should’ve stayed dead! Should’ve burned like the lot of them!” 

She continues to screech and shout but none of her words mean much to me. The descent to her instability is awful to watch, but is isn’t something I can feel guilty about. As cruel as it sounds, I can’t imagine anything more fitting for her. She’s unrepentant about what she’s

done, She only regrets being caught. I sigh, shutting my eyes for the briefest seconds. 

That’s how Benicio knew I was close to Li 

must’ve connected the dots when he read 

the letter of my attempt to escape with her. But Draxyn… he couldn’t handle the humiliation of being bested by me. So he told everyone he killed me off… 

“Your confession is appreciated, Fio.” 

It’s the calm of my voice that lulls her back from her berserk episode. She sniffles, eyes 

Sary and face pale. She licks her lips in consideration. The expression on her face twists 

once again to something more pensive. 

“And Val?” 

I can only offer her a nod, 

“Of course. I keep my end of the bargain.” 

Her body sags in relief. I could feel her rage simmer and quell. She’s at peace again. 

“Thank you… thank you…. thank you…” 

She keeps saying it as I turn to leave her behind. She doesn’t stop even as I shut the door on 

her. 

I never tell her about Val’s awaiting fate. 

That his actions, and conspiracy with Xeneron had cost him his life. That he was going to be doomed regardless of her confession. That she shares the same fate as him. 

I don’t tell her, but she’ll feel it all the same. 

She’ll feel the snap, the disconnect of their bond and she’ll know what it means. She’ll feel it and it’ll be the final thread that kept her from completely snapping. In the end, she’ll for death.

She’ll feel the exact way I felt that night at Duskfall. 

Helplessness.

Rage. 

Heartbreak. 

But she’ll still feel that hope. Hope that she was misunderstanding something because I promised. I promised her she’ll see her mate. I swore. 

It’s that hope that’ll keep her breathing. The hope that will be mercilessly crushed. 

ometimes, hope is far more lethal than any kind of punishment.
