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
Zeta's povSliding my legs into my slippers I stepped out of the room feeling a but weak, I was unable to get much rest the previous night thanks to Alex nothing a cup of coffee couldn't fix.Immediately I stepped into the kitchen their loud laughter spread through the room."Oh look who finally decided to join us" their pervert queen announced staring at me her eyes dancing with mockery.I'll just get a coffee as I head to work I decided turing around."Oh no don't leave I'm sure you'll love the stories Belinda has to share" one of her minions stepped up and pulled me back."Girls I've told you its uncultured to speak about what a man and lady does behind closed doors" Belinda asserted I almost gagged at her advice she of all people had the guts to say "uncultured" the hypocrisy for me."Damien had an amazing time last night" my eyes widened as I realized what they were hitting at. Damien and Belinda..."Yes we had the most magical night" she tauted.I could literally feel my heart s
Zeta's pov"What do you say I buy you dinner?" he whispered kissing my temples."I should really be getting home, this is too much" I said inhaling the flowers."Come on, a minute ago you were just asking to stay back""That's because I have work to do tons of work to do""You live in that big mansion what type of work do you need to do that cannot be done" he urged."Well that big mansion is not mine" I fixed my eyes on the flowers. I'm sure he could see the sadness lurking if I looked at him."You still haven't told me about this big ordeal" I knew what he was asking for but I wasn't going to give it to him."I have a lot of work to do and it's already late" refusing once more I stepped back feeling dizzy from his amazing scent."Okay then I'll help, we did study together" I forgot how persuasive he could be. He wouldn't give up unless I agreed to his request well I wasn't going to give up easily."All right then you can help me" his eyes widened realizing his trick didn't work."Ok
Zeta PovThe drive to the house was excruciating.I couldn't help but feel bad for leaving Alex hanging.Things happened way too fast, so unexpected, I shouldn't have gotten so close to him, he must have mistaken my kind gesture for attraction.Hell yes! I was attracted to him but I loved one man.As the tears rolled down and the streets flared past I couldn't help but ponder if I should just run away with Alex.Damien had no respect for me whatsoever, I remember when he called and texted all day long now he didn't even have the guts to face me in person.Spending his hours wrapped in Belinda. I cringed at the thought of them getting intimate in bed.After everything, the promises, the kisses, the gifts, why go so far if it was only to pretend?Was he trying to pay me off as the mother of his child or a whore who was able to conceive?It made no sense why go through all this, why! For what reason?Announcing his annulment to the lycanthrope council, openly claiming his love for me.Wh
Damien's pov I saw it. The ticking bomb. My heart sank as I realized the danger, but it was too late.321....boom! Before I could react, the bomb exploded, and chaos erupted around me. Rocks came crashing down, trapping my legs and my employees in the depths of the mine.Pain surged through my body as I lay there, immobilized and terrified for the safety of those trapped with me. "Help someone" I cried out, my voice echoing through the darkness, pleading for help. But no one came. I tried my possible best trying to pull my legs from the rock but it only made the pain worse.Hours turned into days, and still, no rescue arrived. At some point I was about to give up, say goodbye to my child and Zeta.Apologize for the life I couldn't give her, my last breaths were used pleading to the moon goddess she protects my sweet Zeta.Two long days passed, filled with uncertainty and despair. I couldn't bear the thought of my employees, injured or worse, buried beneath the rubble. The darkness
I stood frozen in the room clutching my shirt in dread, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at Damien, his body wrapped in bandages, clutches supporting his weight. Shock surged through me like an electric current, and worry instantly creased my brow. "Damien... Damien what happened... "I opened my mouth to ask him what had happened, but his facial expression halted me in my tracks. His eyes, once filled with warmth and adoration, were now tainted with disgust. It was as if he had caught me committing a terrible crime. That's when it hit me like a punch to the gut. He had seen. Damien had seen me and Alex, my lips locked with another man's. My stomach churned with guilt and regret, and I instinctively clutched at the torn fabric of my shirt, feeling as though it mirrored the broken pieces of my heart. "I... Damien, I'm so sorry it's not what it looks like," I stammered, my voice trembling with genuine remorse. "It was a mistake. I never meant for it to happen." He cut me off
I sat on the cold, damp floor of the dungeon, my knees pulled up to my chest. Hours had passed since Belinda threw me in here, and with each passing minute, the weight of despair settled deeper within me. It felt like I was going to be trapped in this wretched place forever, forgotten and abandoned.But then, a creaking sound echoed through the chamber as the heavy iron doors swung open. The guards appeared before me, their expressions stern and unyielding. They motioned for me to rise and follow them. Confusion mixed with a flicker of hope in my chest as I hesitantly obeyed their command, cautiously stepping out into the dimly lit corridor.As my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw Damien. He stood a few paces away, still bearing the signs of his recent injuries crutches supporting his weight, bandages peeking out from beneath his clothing. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, and I fought against the overwhelming urge to rush to his side. He looked everywhere but in my directi
I sat on the edge of my bed, my world crumbling around me. Tears streamed down my face, leaving salty trails in their wake. Packing my belongings felt like packing away the shattered remnants of my heart, each item a painful reminder of what I had lost. The door creaked open, and Jen, entered the room. She gasped at the sight of my tear-stained cheeks and rushed to my side, concern etched on her face. Her touch was gentle as she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Zeta...?" Jen's voice was filled with genuine worry, and I could see the pain reflected in her eyes, I'm sure she heard about the news. At this point she was the only one I believed cared about me. I couldn't hold back the flood of emotions any longer. With a sob escaping my lips, I threw myself into Jen's arms. My body shook with each sob, and I clung to her like a lifeline in the storm. "It's... it's all a lie, Jen," I managed to choke out between sobs. "I didn't... I didn't want things to go that far with Alex.
