Chapter 24

The drive to the office was quick, without my phone I looked out the window enjoying the view of the city.

We arrived then I paid the driver then looked around as a safety measure before I stepped into the office.

I could feel the usual buzz of people rushing around, phones ringing, and keyboards clacking. It was just another morning, the herb had really helped ease my headache and I was ready to dive into my tasks for the day. My boss spotted me as I walked in.

"Zeta, good morning," he greeted me with a warm smile.

"Good morning sir, I am very sorry for coming in late" I apologized quickly.

"No no it's fine, I heard about your accident over the weekend. Are you feeling alright?"

I nodded, appreciating his concern. "Thank you, sir. I'm fine, just a few bruises. Nothing serious. I'm ready to get back to work."

His expression softened, and he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Zeta, accidents can be tough. You've been through a lot. How about taking a day or two off to rest and

    Damien's povI woke up late in the morning with a strong urge to see Zeta before she headed off to work. I didn't like the way I walked out after the amazing day we had, we should have spent the night together.The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains as I made my way to her room. I approached her door then knocked slightly while turning the knob I noticed that it was locked, which struck me as strange. Usually, her door was open, inviting me in with open arms.I knocked on the door louder, my heart pounding in fear, why would she lock the door?After a few moments, I heard the click of the lock being undone. Zeta opened the door, and a wide smile spread across my face. We embraced tightly, savoring the warmth of each other's presence.But as I held her, my eyes wandered to her injured wrist. It was wrapped in a bandage, and concern filled my voice as I asked, "Zeta, what happened to your wrist?"She hesitated for a moment, a flicker of unease passing through her eyes.

    Chapter 27 I sat on the edge of my bed, lost in my thoughts, contemplating the choices I had made. Should I have told Damien about the bracelet? Maybe I should have lied, claimed it wasn't with Belinda. But that small cut on my finger had given me away, revealing my secret. It was too late to take back my words now, and regret consumed me as I replayed the scene in my mind.I knew how Belinda could be, she was capable of anything if Damien told her about the bracelet I would be done for.I dragged myself out of my musings with a sigh I pushed myself off the bed and made my way to the bathroom.

But as the droplets slid down my cheeks, the ache in my heart remained. Damien's face lingered, his absence cutting through me like a knife.

I forced myself to sleep after the incident and now the sudden interruption only heightened my anxiety. I cautiously approached the front door, my mind racing with various possibilities. Another knock resonated, louder this time, and I recognized the distinct rhythm. Relief washed over me as I realized it was Jen on the other side."Ma'am are you awake?" Jen called out.Unlocking the door, I swung it open, revealing her concerned face. Her eyes widened as she took in my disheveled appearance, evidence of a sleepless night. "Jen I..." I couldn't even speak I was speechless about what I went through the accident why were all these things happening."It's okay, Zeta," Jen whispered, her voice soothing. "I'm here for you.

    Damien's pov I felt the exact moment the blissful peace was eliminated. Zeta's grip tightened on my hand as she looked at Belinda with venom. She had pretty eyes and I loved it but at the same time someone else lurked doubt. Why did she feel that way I had already told her Belinda was nothing to me. "Damien where did you run off to" she yelled. I felt my heart beating fast as Belinda rushed over to me with a worried look on her face. She grabbed my arm and pushed Zeta away urgently. Zeta's eyes seemed to slowly lose their brightness, like a flame flickering out. "Zeta..." I called trying to touch her through the barrier but she stepped back. "Zeta look..." I was about to dismiss it as a coincidence when my phone rang loudly, interrupting my thoughts. I quickly reached for my phone, feeling frustrated by the sudden interruption. I checked the caller ID and saw it was one of my workers from the mine. Dread filled me as I anticipated bad news. I answered the call and asked in a

    Zeta's pov I walked to the car, feeling a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirling inside me. The truth felt undeniable. Belinda and Damien had gone to the mall together, and all the signs were clear. Why would Damien lie to me? The pain of betrayal began to gnaw at my heart as I settled into the driver's seat, feeling lost and hurt. As the driver drove, the weight of the situation grew heavier with each passing mile. The shopping bags sitting beside me on the passenger seat served as constant reminders of my solitude during their supposed outing. The thought of them together, enjoying each other's company, intensified the bitterness within me. I longed to escape from these suffocating thoughts that threatened to consume me. When I finally reached home, exhaustion seeped into my bones. It was late, and the darkness outside mirrored the turmoil within me. As I entered my house, I couldn't help but notice Belinda's minions, who seemed to be lurking around. Their curious gazes fixate

    Epilogue " Mom, Daddy says you should hurry up, he cannot wait to see you." A cute-looking Adrien smiled proudly at me. " You look beautiful." He said.I hugged him, "Thank you. You also look dapper." " I guess that means I look handsome too." He said as his brows creased in confusion. "Yes. You are so smart. Tell your dad I'll be down in a minute." I replied with a prouder smile. Adrien was growing so well. He was smart and resourceful and everything I hoped for. "Yes, Mom." Then he fished into his breast pocket, and brought out a gold necklace, " Dad told me to give you this." He said while handing it over to me.My eyes were misted with tears when I saw the inscription on the locket. " You are my forever, no one can separate us." " Why are you crying, Mom? Are you sad?" Adrien asked in a concerned tone."These are happy tears." I shook my head, he must have confused my happiness for sadness. Adrien cocked his head, and scanned my face for a few minutes before moving away, "

    Damien's POV I scanned the letter and saw that the handwriting didn't quite tally. Moving into her room, everything was intact leading me to believe that she was taken. Coming out of the house, I shut the door and sniffed the air as the lingering Zeta's scent wafted into my nostrils. She must be around the area. I thought. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, her scent called me, and I walked according to its directions. I had almost walked a mile distance without anyone in sight. I sighed deeply as I continued my journey. I had crossed the expanse of my land when her scent got stronger but it was mixed with a metallic scent. Blood! Looking to the left, I saw a hidden shack, just before crossing to the next pack. It was in No Man's Land. A free pack where shady dealings go on. The predominant inhabitants were rogues and some evil wolves. I called Daniel to come quickly as a backup. " Bring some vehicles along," I ordered. Pulling out my gun from my back pocket, I rush in.

    A hard crack of palm connected with Zeta's cheek making her jump wide awake in fright. Her vision blurred as she slowly regained consciousness. She was shocked to see herself in cuffs and an unfamiliar house. She saw Belinda's annoying face and groaned as she remembered how she was taken._Three hours later after Damien left, the doorbell rang and Zeta rushed to the front door, and opened it instantly. It was eerily quiet except for the slight whooshing from the early evening breeze and the soft rustling of leaves in the garden. Her maid was also nowhere in sight. She stepped outside with the thought that Damien was probably playing a prank on her which was her mistake. After standing for two minutes, she turned to go into the house when she heard an unusual rustling of leaves. This time, it sounded like someone was crushing dried leaves. The hair on her nape rose, and her skin broke out in goosebumps.__She turned and a plank was delivered to her head, causing her to go out like lig

    Zeta was busy tending to the garden when a nurse came to inform her that Damien was around. She ran straight to the house and jumped into his arms. He grunted before twirling her around. " You told me that you weren't going to come!" She said in an accusing tone and he smiled. " I wanted to surprise you." He whispered into her ear. Zeta beamed from ear to ear as she stared at Damien, it was surreal to her that he was here in the flesh. Although they spoke for long hours on the phone, it didn't stop the longing that she felt.Tears rolled down her eyes, and Damien wiped it away." You don't need to cry, I'm here now." He patted her head." I know, I'm just happy to see you." The feeling was mutual." Me too. Let's go inside." Damien said." Look at the time. I'm such a bad host." Zeta exclaimed." It's fine," Damien replied. Their conversation spanned from afternoon till evening, as they had a lot to talk about. "What would you like to eat? I can make some pasta for you." Zeta sho

    Zeta blinked slowly as she became conscious. The door opened Immediately, and a nurse walked in with a tray in her hand." Good morning, Luna Belinda. It's nice to see you awake." She greeted her with a pleasant smile. " Good morning, please where am I?" She inquired as she scanned the room. It was painted white. The door opened again, and Alpha Paul walked in. " Good morning, Zeta." He greeted her with a friendly smile on his face."Good morning, Alpha Paul." She replied in a hoarse tone, relieved to see a familiar face. The nurse rushed to her bedside and poured her a glass of water and she took a quick sip."How are you feeling?" He replied when he saw the curious look on her face. "Better, I guess." She replied and groaned while attempting to sit upright. " Easy there." Alpha Paul advised. The nurse assisted her to sit upright. "Thank you," Zeta whispered. " You're welcome, ma'am." The nurse replied and excused them at Paul's nod." Where is this place?" She inquired. " Al

    Soon, it became a rowdy Alpha Damien's heart skipped at that statement, but he saw the determination on their faces, he knew that they couldn't be persuaded. They continued chanting loudly. He thought long and hard about what to say. One wrong statement, and he was at risk of rebellion. He wore an unreadable expression and shrugged nonchalantly. He raised an arm, and the pack fell silent. " Nobody is above the law, she went into this with her eyes open." Belinda's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the statement. Damien sighed, " As much as I do not want to do this I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. She has to be put to death." The crowd roared and high-fived one another in excitement. Damien felt somber but maintained a calm composure. He raised an arm again and they kept quiet. "That will be all for today, you can return to your homes. Have a good night's rest." He said and waited till they all left before rushing down to the cell.The high-pitched rattle o

    Zeta dodged behind a large tent that was used for her celebration. Axel moved forward, and she held her breath when she heard his approaching footsteps. The pitter-patter of her heart increased to banging against her ribcage in apprehension. She hoped that she was not caught. Who knows what would be done to her? Axel stopped and Belinda gave him a fearful look. If this conversation got leaked to the public, she would certainly be punished.Axel raised his nose and sniffed the air. He noticed a scent coming from the tent.He pointed to where Zeta was hiding, and trod there stealthily, careful not to make a sound. After ten minutes, Zeta's leg began to cramp up, and she decided to check out what was happening on the other side. She raised her head slowly and screamed when she saw Axel pointing a gun at her." Rise." He ordered and she obeyed quickly. Her eyes scanned the garden to see if anyone would come to her rescue. Sadly, there was no guard in sight.Axel grinned as if he could r

    " When will I be getting my payment?" Alpha Scott inquired." Can you not see that the plan didn't work?" Belinda replied. " The agreement was that I get my gold after the fiasco." " How was I supposed to know that he will not kick her out? Maybe if you were believable enough, then we will have no need for this quarrel." Belinda spat.Scott raised his brows in confusion, " Now this is my fault? A man decided to forgive his wife, maybe it's your plans that need reevaluation." He said.Belinda sighed, "I don't want to fight with you, Scott." " Then pay me what you owe me, very simple." He replied. " I will, I just need to figure out something." Belinda sighed." I want my gold delivered in a month." Alpha Scott replied and hung up.Belinda paced in her room, as she tried to come up with a stronger plan. If she didn't pay these people, they would expose her and this means annihilation.She scrolled through her phone and discovered a number. Axel; the leader of the rogues. She dialed

    " Do not tell me that you believe this fallacy he is saying." Zeta pointed to the Alpha Scott." Well, now that It's all in the open, What do you have to say Alpha?" Scott replied.Zeta was frantic with worry at the expression on Damien's face, she hoped that he didn't believe this man. "What if I tell you that she is not going with you, what will you do?" Alpha Damien challenged, his head was messed up by the information but he stopped himself from acting irrationally." I will not go without her. Like I told these people, I am not here to kill anyone, I came here on her orders, I have proof." He said." Show me the proof," Damien demanded. Scott smirked, " I hope your fragile heart can take it." He whistled and someone brought a phone, "Listen to this." He played a call recording.
