Sold To The Untouchable Alpha novel Chapter 55

[Ivan's POV]

I fought to keep my temper under control. I must not have heard Arissa correctly. There was just no way. How was it even possible that Gillian was still alive and helping my bastard father?

"I-ivan..." Arissa stammered, reaching out a hand. "I think maybe you should try to control yourself a bit."

Confused, I looked around to see that the furniture in the room had been flung around the room. Fuck, I must have released my aura without realizing it.

‘Idiot,’ Bastian snickered. ‘Save it for the liar.’

I could feel Bastian chomping at the bit to get ahold of Gillian. After all, it was due to his lie that Arissa went through what she did.

"Sorry," I huffed, beginning to deflate. "I didn’t mean to."

"We know, alpha." Hans assured. "It was quite a shock, I’m sure."

"Yeah, shock."

"If you reacted like that just to knowing he was alive, I don't even want to tell you the rest." Arissa grumbled, crossing her arms. "Who is to say I won’t get thrown through a wall."

"I would never hurt you." I snapped, narrowing my gaze on her. "At least not in a way you didn’t like." I added, feeling a thrill rush through me at the beautiful blush that began to spread across her cheeks.

A cough of discomfort from Hans sent me into a laughing fit while Arissa grumbled some threat or the other to herself. After collecting myself, I looked at Hans, who looked ready to bolt at any second.

"Report back to Igor." I began, deciding it was time to visit Isaac’s pack and take care of business. "We will be making another trip to that idiot brother of mine tomorrow."

I didn’t know if he was aware his son was alive, and if he was, I would be sure to make him pay a terrible price for what he had done to Arissa. No one would be able to continue living after all the torture she went through.

"You’re going to visit him?" Arissa asked, seeming to perk up. "Do I get to come?"

Smiling, I gave a nod.

"Of course you can come." I promised, reaching out and grabbing her hand. "How could I let you miss out on something interesting?"

Beaming, Arissa nodded. I could already see the wheels turning in her head and knew that I’d be in for a good show once we arrived at Isaac’s castle tomorrow.

"How many men should we prepare, alpha?" Hans asked, drawing my attention back to him.

"None, it will just be the four of us." I said. "I don’t want word to get to Carina and Elder Theodore just in case they are all working together."
