Zeta's povI couldn't contain my worry as I searched every inch of the park, my eyes darting from one place to another. My baby was nowhere to be found.

Damien, my partner, placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and reassured me that we would find our child."It's going to be okay, Zeta," Damien said, his voice filled with a mix of concern and determination. "We'll find our baby. Don't lose hope."Just as I was about to give up, my phone rang. An unknown number appeared on the screen, and my heart skipped a beat. I answered the call, trembling with anticipation. The moment I heard my baby's cries, I knew it was them. Relief washed over me, but my relief quickly turned to fear as I heard a voice on the other end."If you ever want to see your child again, you have to come and bail him out," the voice demanded.My voice quivered as I pleaded for my child's safety. "Please, I'll do anything. Just let me have my baby back."T
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.
Damien's pov "What do you mean I'm still married to Belinda we signed the papers our marriage is done" "The court records indicate that the necessary papers for the dissolution of your marriage have gone missing," the judge explained. "How did it go missing that's your responsibility isn't it?" "Alpha Damien lower your voice I assure you we're finding the papers unfortunately, we cannot proceed with the process until new documents are prepared." "Well, then get the new papers ready!" I snapped. "How long will it take?" "It's not that easy, It will likely take weeks, if not months," he replied. My anger surged, threatening to consume me. I couldn't wait that long. "You have got yo be joking I'm not waiting another-" I began to say when someone held me back. Zeta looked at me with pleading eyes, silently urging me to keep calm. "Damien, don't make a scene," she whispered. "It's fine. We can wait, I've already waited for so long a few more won't hurt" I could tell she was lying
Zeta's pov Once I entered the pack house I went to my sons room.greeting the guards stationed outside before I carried my baby in my arms, gently swaying him. He must have been in here all day okay baby lets go see the house I carried him down the steps when a mouthwatering scent of culinary delights filled the air, leading me to the bustling kitchen. I was stunned to see Belinda giving out orders I rocked my baby wondering who all the food was for was another party going to happen what the hell was she celebrating. I approached Belinda cautiously, my baby cradled protectively against my chest. Belinda noticed my presence and turned to face me with a warm smile. I wanted to run away seeing her smile that way It was an unfamiliar sight to see. "Zeta, my dear, I'm going to the orphanage today. We have plenty of food and some clothes to spare. Would you like to join me?" I was taken aback by Belinda's unexpected generosity. She must be plotting her next scheme, and I had no desir
Zeta's pov "Help! Somebody, help!" I screamed coughing harshly. The intense heat made it difficult to see or think clearly. The smoke billowed around me, choking my lungs and stinging my eyes. I felt trapped the flames closing in on me with every passing second. I searched for any means of escape. I spotted a nearby window, but it was covered with thick metal bars, preventing me from breaking free. I pounded on the window, hoping someone would hear the sound and come to my rescue. But still, there was no response. The fire continued to rage, devouring everything in its path, I felt my strength waning. Coughing and gasping for breath, I collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't believe this was how it would end trapped, helpless, and alone. A distant sound caught my attention. Footsteps. Faint, but growing closer. My heart surged with renewed hope as I realized that help might finally be on its way. I stood up then saw her through the glass standing there l
I woke up stretching my arms then I hit Damien I smiled then kissed him on his head then I noticed Damien's phone, lying on the nightstand, beeping. That thing never seemed to stop. I reached for it, intending to mute the notifications so it wouldn't disturb Damien. However, as I unlocked the screen, a message caught my attention, The message revealed that Damien had taken a loan of five million. My eyebrows furrowed as I tried to make sense of it. Damien was incredibly rich, so why would he need to take such a massive loan? My curiosity piqued, and I couldn't resist the urge to keep reading. I scrolled through his phone, browsing through messages and emails. Slowly, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. It became evident that Damien was facing financial difficulties Damien was going broke. Among the messages, I stumbled upon the receipt for the ring he had given me last night. Its price tag left me stunned. Damien had gone to great lengths, even taking a loan, to get
Damien's POV " Please let me go." Belinda pleaded as I held on to her neck tightly. I was moved by her innocent face. I was ready to end all of this once and for all. Tired of all the mishaps she had caused Zeta. I knew there was reason, she was not mated to me.I regret ever marrying this woman, she was a thorn in my flesh, since she became my wife." Did you think about your life when you decided to destroy the tiles?" I replied, and she gasped away. " I'm sorry." She pleaded and I tightened my grip on her neck. She coughed, and I stared at the monster of a woman I called a wife. How did she manage to pretend for so long?" You must be sick for doing that." I said, tightening my grip. She tried to loosen my grip which was very futile." It was a mistake!" She choked." And I'll mistakenly kill you too." I said promptly. The fear was evident in her eyes when she heard my voice. I was not here to play. Zeta tried to make things right, but Belinda's mantra was to always destroy thin
Damien's POV " I'll get you some toast and coffee," Zeta said and departed from my office. When the door closed, I sighed aloud, picking up the pack record. Alone with my thoughts, I took a look at the financial statements of the mine.My phone rang, and I picked up immediately." Hello." " There's nothing that could do about it, I'll check it out again." Daniel said.We needed to get an additional loan. The jewelry money was not enough to get us back into operation. It was a matter of time before everything crumbled.Taking a look at the current situation of things, I looked around and saw a pack that was going downhill. My other sources of income were not enough to shoulder my responsibility. The danger of having multiple wives. It's was annoying that all they were interested in was the state of my pocket. If I went broke, I was sure that all of them would leave. That would not be a bad idea though.I placed a call to Daniel again, " What do you have for me?" I asked."We have
