More Secrets [III]

As soon as Ryder entered he triggered the trap, all I could do was watch in horror.

"Ryder, be careful!" I yelled as I watched in horror.

Ryder pushed Eva down to the floor with him before the dagger that flew across the room could hurt them.

Eva looked shocked at the daggers that were now nailed to the wall.

"Is it safe for us to get up now?" Eva asked in a wary tone.

"Yes, it's alright. The vampires only placed one trap." Nicholas said beating me before I could answer them.

I gave a small sight in relief when I saw that they were completely fine.

Selene came from the hallway and entered to the room, she looked around shocked.

"Alice, how did his happened?" Selene asked me looked at me.

"It's my fault." Claire confessed as she hung her head in guilt.

I was too tired to even argue with her.

"What are you doing here Claire?" Eva asked her.

Claire bit her lip nervously for a few seconds before she answered Eva.

"I, well, I followed Alice here and pretty much ruined the whole mission for her, it's my fault we are here." Claire said as she looked down ashamed.

"Claire." I said slowly as I warned her.

"Don't even try to take the blame Alice, I don't deserve this. You can't be nice with me because you know that it was my fault. Now can somebody untie me?" Claire said in an annoyed tone.

Selene started to untie Nicholas; Eva untied Claire meanwhile Ryder got near me.

I gave a small hiss as I saw that Ryder was beyond furious, he was completely angry at me.

Ryder yanked off the ropes from my arms and legs making me fall to the ground completely weak. I placed my palm on the ground, I was lying sideways on the ground and with my palms I tried to push myself off the floor. My arms trembled as I used all my strength to lift my body but my arms gave up halfway there. Ryder got to his knees in front of me; he helped me sit up and pulled me towards him.

"Why did you do this Doll? You could've died, you know?" He said as he glared at me.

"I know Ryder and I really am sorry but I had to do this, the vampires were planning on killing Nicholas tonight." I told him in a soft voice.

"And Nicholas is another ex-boyfriend of yours?" Ryder asked me in a hard tone.

I gave a small groan, Ryder was pissed off at me and he had all the right to, I had literally walked back into the wolf's mouth.

"No, he is Beck's older brother, a very close friend of mine." I told him in a low voice as I rubbed my wrists.

Nicholas got near us and looked at me.

"Are you alright Alice?" He asked me.

"I'm fine." I said as I got up with Ryder's help.

"All of this was mental Alice." Nicholas said as he smiled.

I shook my head; I knew this wasn't crazy because it had all been worth it.

"Nicholas, this is Ryder my boyfriend. Ryder, this is Nicholas my childhood friend." I said introducing them to each other.

"A childhood friend, am I only that to you mate? Beck and I were your protectors for years, so I think that I'm more than just a friend Alice." Nicholas said nearly snapping at me.
