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.
Zeta's pov Alex looked at me biting the insides of his burning cheek."I'm sorr...""Leave!" I yelled feeling irritated. I felt like such a fool of course I believed it was coincidental for him to show up at the exact moment Belinda and Damien were getting close.Why did I trust him so blindly, the dates, and flowers always showed up at the right time it should have occurred to me that something was fishy."Goodbye Zeta" the bastard dared say stepping into his car and then drove away.He deserves more than that slap I should have destroyed his car glass or something.But of what use, it won't repair my relationship with Damien or the pack.I turned around and the face behind the plan stood outside with a malicious smile on her.I wanted to slap that smile off her face with the rage flowing through my veins I would have taken her. "I thought you would leave with your boyfriend" I couldn't believe how shameless she could be, stooping so low to try and push me out."You have no right t
I felt my bones crack as I rose sluggishly from the mattress.I woke up feeling better it was about time my wolf began healing after the accident at the mine. The throbbing pain in my leg had subsided, and I could move it without wincing. The thing with being an Alpha, my wolf's abilities are faster than a mere wolf.Slowly, I sat up in bed and reached for my phone on the nightstand.Like I do every morning I scrolled through my emails there's no day a new one is not added.Since the accident I've been out of work for a while but I still tried my best the drama that occurred still stunned me to an extent.Pulling my mind from my thoughts I continued reading my email one stood out among the rest. The subject line read, Alpha you are needed here please visit the Mine as soon as you can, Phyllis, My beta. I furrowed my brows, wondering what could be so urgent. It's a policy to be strong through tough times so I believed everyone expected me to be up and moving once more but Phyllis rar
Zeta's povWhen I woke up in the morning, I felt exhausted and upset. I hadn't been able to figure out a solution to stay in the house, but I knew I couldn't just stay in bed all day. So I decided to take a bath to freshen up a bit. Afterwards, I made my way downstairs the smell of maple syrup hits before I got to where Damien and his concubines were having their breakfast.As soon as I entered, Belinda wasted no time in calling me out."Zeta" she called out. The rest of the table then looked in my direction except Damien I knew this because I was staring at him. "Why haven'you left yet? Your presence here is no longer welcome," Belinda hissed. I remember when she could not speak this way to me in front of Damien but now he didn't react not even gazing in my direction.Feeling defeated, I nodded and replied, "I understand. I'll pack my things and be out of your way soon."My stare at Damien was so intense I was silently begging him to.say something anything, when I realized that wasn
Zeta's povWe finally got to the pack house, I peeked at Damien who kept a straight face as we head inside. He didn't make an attempt to take the child and I was grateful.I stepped into the living room and found Belinda and the other members of our pack gathered there. They all stared at me the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was tense, and I sensed trouble brewing.I couldn't imagine the drama that happened once everyone realized the child was missing."Of course it had to Zeta!" Belinda announced like everyone wasn't already looking in my direction her eyes locked onto mine, her anger evident in her gaze. Without a moment's hesitation she stepped towards me."Zeta, how could you do this?" Belinda's voice shook with anger. "We were all worried sick. You can't just take the baby without letting us know!"I tried to interject, playing the victim card since she was faking concern I knew she'll never care less if anything happened to my child "Belinda, I didn't mean to worry anyone.
