Chapter 102

Miguel's pov

"Why do you like this place?" I ask him when we came to the end of our hiking.

Turns out the place he wants to show me is the same place we came to on the night I had a misunderstanding with the Alphas.

"It's the place I get the deed done," he arranges a chair, and gestures for me to sit.

"Get what deed done?" I look at him in confusion. Most times he speaks in enough parable, am not capable of getting a grasp of it.

"You can say it's where I get my closure,where I get my pleasure."

I stifle a cough " you mean you've had sex here?"

Now I really wish I haven't followed him here. Just how many times will something happen to me before l learn my lessons? just how many damn times?

He shakes his head " by pleasure, I don't mean sex. There are different ways of getting pleasure that doesn't include sex."

I physically exhaled a sigh of relive when I heard his words.

That means he's not interested in having his evil ways with me.

" You're worried about me forcing you?" he laughed when he saw my expressions "I can never do that. I do things, but not that. To me sex is something sacred, something done with someone you care about, and who cares about you," he says those words with a faraway look of want on his face.

"That's true. Making love to someone you care about is far more satisfying than just coupling with anyone you see," I  concurred.

"Here take," he passed an open drink to me, taking one for himself.

I look at the one he gave to me, and the one on his hands; my mind thinking on the possibilities of it being poisoned.

"You can have my own if you want,"  he starts passing his own over to me, but I refused.

" I will take this, you take yours," I  take a large gulp of the soft drink. 

"If you tell my mom I drank something like this , I will have your head", I narrow my eyes in a threat to him in case he dares tell mom I drank something as sweet as this.

" Why should I tell her? am more guilty than you are because am the one who provided the it," he smiled.

"Since we've gotten this solved." I  look around thee peaceful and serene place "how did you come across so beautiful a place?"

"The Alphas were the ones who brought me here. This was our save heaven, the place we come to when we're tired of the chores at home, "  he says that with a strange fondness in his face.

" You four sounds close, what happened? why are you divided?"

He shakes his head "  it's a long story," he  raised his drunk up "let's  finish off,"  he takes more gulp from his.

Why is he reluctant to tell me what happened between them?

Is it something he doesn't want anyone to be privy of?

"Here looks more peaceful and serene during the night. The river down there completely reflects the moon," he sighs.

His mention of a river caught my attention "is there a river close by?"

he nods.

I swallow before asking "is it the same river Favour was found in?"

The feeling of dread on me rose top notch. My heart frantically beating, trying to find a way out of my chest.

He nods " she was found there, the moon beautifully reflecting on the once peaceful but now troubled water."

What are the chances that he will bring me to a place his first love got drowned in?

"Why did you bring me here when you know she died a little mile from here?" something clicked on my head "did you bring her here?"

The more questions I ask, the more dread I feel.

"She died the week after she had a fight with the Alphas for Manuel's sake. Her body was found floating on the river." Bianca's words repeats in my head.

"Yes, I brought her here twice,"he  twirls the can on his hand "she must have come here when she felt heartbreak, and the river was her only option of finding peace.

You will find peace if you drown Miguel. All your worries about the Alphas, their hate for you, and the foolish girl who's now close to them vanish.

You will only feel the initial pain of suffocation, and after that, you feel nothing," his eyes sparkles as he said those words; a strange glint to his eyes.

"Why are you telling me all this?" I  look around for a way out if this gets out of hands.

"Am not telling you that for you to do anything," he shrugs "that must have been her thoughts before she drowned herself. "

I blink "  you're saying those words as if you were there."  I fully look at his face " were you there the night she died?"

His answer will change everything. If he was there when she drowned, why didn't he stop her?

Bianca said he wasn't in town when her body was found. Did he leave because of the guilt he felt at not being there for her?

"And what if I did Miguel? what if I told you I watched her die? what if I told you I had a hand in her death?" he laughs Maniacally "  will you report me? tell the Alphas I killed their fake Luna? " he scratched his hair " as much as I would have liked to see you do that, I can't have you walk out here," he laughs.

He killed her?

Is he planning on killing me too?

"Am out of here!" I  stood from the chair. My heart beating more faster than it have ever done; not even when I ran from my kidnappers did it beat this loud.

" You're really comical, you know that right?" he stands "you really think I will kill someone I love,"  he walks closer to me "  I fight for the ones I love when they're incapable of doing so for me."
