chapter 3

Alpha Damon Pov

The hurt was written all over her face, I could feel a twitch in my heart. Over these past few years, after lamenting over the abandonment of my mate, I was beginning to fall for this hard-working woman.

I never thought that I would be the cause of her being so hurt. But after what she had done to me, how could I ever feel pity for her?

She was so evil. Enough to have forced such a perfect and dubious plan to chase my mate far away from me. If there was anything, I was being Lenient with her.

Another glass of alcohol went down my throat. Then why did I for some reason feel so empty? After seeing my mate, I thought that everything that I felt for her was going to disappear and I was going to be reunited with that one true person that I loved but instead, it seemed like I had lost touch with her. No longer worshiping her feet like I would do three years back.

I took another sipping feeling that I was going crazy when suddenly, I heard a loud cry from afar, the cry sinking deep into my ears.

How could I miss that sound? It was that of my mate. Previously, I would have started running over like a mad dog towards her. But this time, I met with a pause and acted rationally. Not getting up until I heard the sound once again.

I picked up from the floor finally, walking off towards them. Tesla was standing right before my mate, fuming and yelling words that I could barely understand.

While for Katherine, she was bleeding. Deep nails scratched all over her body. It was more like she had been attacked by a mad person.

"What's happening here? Why are you so badly injured, Katherine." My senses peaked as I quickly rushed over to her.

Tears in abundance flowed out from her eyes as she stared right into my eyes. She had always been a strong lady from when I knew her. That was one of the qualities that I loved about her.

If she was crying, it would only mean that something terrible had been done to her and as the person that I was, I had to treat it with intentions..

Her eyes pointed right towards her with more tears flowing from her eyes.

"Tesla." Her breath was heavy.

"She tried to kill me, Leo! She tried to kill me!" She yelled out.

After which, she raised her shirt and I saw something that made me take my steps, revealing a stream of blood beside her that I had not gotten sight of initially.

The deep wound made my heart surge as she continued with what she was saying before I interrupted.

"There was no one in the pack. I was trying to assure her that there was no need for her to be worried. I wanted to thank her for what she did for you and the pack but never in my wildest dream did I think that she had a silver knife on her and was going to attack me with it

She said she wanted Henry dead since she wasn't able to do it years ago, she was going to do it now!" She said her breathing was seemingly like a large rock had been placed on it

I could not believe my eyes and ears. But the brutal sight that lay right before me was screaming out something different.

My stare made its way toward Tesla, everything that I had felt towards her initially, all my emotions that seemed to be heightening suddenly melted down to raw anger.

From the obvious anger that was written all over my face, she stepped backward, trying to speak.

From that moment, I wanted her dead and nothing more. Only then would my mate be safe.

"I didn't do it, Henry. Believe me, we were married for three years, you know what I can do and what I can't right?" She said, still falling back in her steps as I made my way gradually towards her.

However, her words brushed past my ears. I let out a slight chuckle, infused with my anger, my breath was heavy and my head was likened to a steam engine.

"And you think that I am going to believe you, isn't it? After what you have done already?" I blotted out.

Before she could get to say another word. My hands gripped her right around her neck, ready to send her directly back to the moon goddess.

I raised her to the wall, my eyes filled with murderous intent while she choked. But I was too angry even to notice. After a while, I dropped her.

"Cough, Cough!" She kept coughing for a while, her eyes red.

"Why are you doing this to me!" She said in between those dry coughs.

"I can't believe you Tesla." She blotted out with a slight pain.

Tesla's heart was plummeting rapidly, I could hear it with my rapid ears. Her eyes were rolling and her feet were wobbly like she was going to faint.

I chuckled, my anger lessening a little bit.

"Are those one of your tricks? Because you have to be a fool to think that I am going to fall for it." I shot a deadly glare at her, hoping that it was going to stop that evil and poor acting of hers but it didn't.

She continued to drop slowly until she was totally on the floor. Looking like someone who had passed out. Or she did. But should I even care in the first place

At this point, I heard a loud yell from Katherine at the same time. I think that I am losing too much blood.

I looked at an almost lifeless Tesla before returning my gaze to Katherine. Why should I cry about a liar and a deceiver?

If she died, it was going to be a win-win for both of us. I shot down the last part that cared for her before I eventually hurried off to Katherine and took her off to the hospital in my hands.

It had been into two hours of me pacing at the door of Katherine's ward without taking a blink off from her door.

Eventually, it was time for me to see her. Her eyes were baggy but she was still cute. She held my hands firmly and said.

"For three years, I have been haunted by the fact that I wasn't with you! That I shrunk instead of fighting back!"

Her words were piercing her eyes so passionately, reaching out right through my heart as she continued.

"I don't want anything like that to happen again. I want to be with you forever. That's why I will have to say this!" She paused, forcing herself to push something out from the drawer. Before I could even help, she had gotten it out herself.

It was pointed right on my face at the moment. It was the voice recording of the interaction that she had with Tesla a few moments ago.

It was perfect. How could I ever miss her voice? What exactly she said was what happened and again, she had lied.

It was like my heart was squeezed. My face melted with anger that even my clenched knuckles already cracking could not prevent it.

My face blushed hot red. She lied, yet again.

"You see My Henry. I don't hate her but I won't want anything to stand in the way that the moon goddess wants for us to bring us together.

That's why I want to ask you this! I want her gone from the pack!" She said with a pleading face.

And with all the hatred in my hate directed towards Tesla, she didn't even have to ask at all.
