Chapter 7: Surviving
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The wolves' footsteps are heard closer and closer, while Helmut tries to stop what his body is doing on its own. Aitana, observing the hatred in his gaze, begins to cry and tremble.
"I assure you, if you let me go, I won't appear in front of you again. Just please, don't hurt me. I'm only nineteen years old. I have many things I want to experience, many things except death. >> Please don't kill me, it was a mistake to believe that fairy tales come true, but I've learned my lesson, so please spare my life, and let me go.” Aitana says in the middle of crying."Three of the wolves appear and pounce on Helmut, as they try to control their boss's ferocity. Immediately, Aitana runs to the nearest tree and using her experience climbing very fast trees, climbs to the highest and safest part while the wolves try to control their boss.Distressed and with the rain leaving her unable to see very far, she begs for her now husband to disappear completely. But, as she tries to hide with the thin branches, she sees the alpha's red eyes, staring at her."Did you think that climbing up here would save you?" asks Helmut grabbing Aitana by the collar and lifting her on the ground."Let go of me, please." says Aitana trying to get away from him. But, as he is about to snap her neck, she hits him hard and he loses his balance and they both fall out of the tree. Aitana regrets dying so young as she waits for the impact. But what she feels is a furry cushion cushioning her fall. Distressed, she looks at the man who immediately stops looking like a wolf, to look like a human,Looking around her, she notices that everyone is unconscious and immediately gets up ready to flee, however, guilt invades her and before leaving, she returns to Helmut's body and without being able to see that he is breathing, she brings her lips close to help him breathe.The contact of her lips makes Helmut open his eyes and the red color slowly disappears as well as the black veins around his eyes. Aitana oblivious to what was happening, begins to make compressions on Helmut's chest, and then confirms that he is breathing."This is my payment for keeping him from dying by falling from that height, even though that was your fault" says Aitana wiping her mouth and getting up ready to run away. However, it is enough just to stand up, to see the man who just a short while ago looked like he won't breathe, grab her by the neck and without some kind of remorse, glue his lips to hers in a kiss that, unlike giving her air, stole them both."What the hell is this animal doing, am I that unlucky to meet two perverts in one night? - Aitana asks herself mentally while her cursed husband, makes her retreat to the bark of a tree, where he does not stop kissing her. The ferocity with which he kisses her lips, shows pure desire and it could even be said that this is the man that Aitana wished to see in him and that now, he was giving it to her in a fiery way that exceeded her expectations.But, the excitement was short-lived, when Helmut pulled his lips away from her, so searchingly, that he ended up breaking Aitana's lips, who stifled a pitiful moan as she felt the pain."Why...?" Aitana was about to claim him for the attack, but, when she saw how the man struggled not to transform, she preferred to remain silent. She didn't know why she couldn't control his transformation, but, because of the suffering she saw in him and the anger, she didn't dare to ask him. So, imploring her good luck, she waited for him to move away and slowly began to move to the exit.Helmut, struggling not to lose his sanity, held his head, hoping it wouldn't happen. Desperately, he looked around and watched as the woman he had married looked at him in fear as she backed away."I can't kill you. I can't do it," whispers Helmut before getting lost in the forest.Aitana could not believe what was happening. But, hearing his cold words before he left, her legs that she had struggled to move lost their strength and she fell to the ground, overwhelmed by what she had experienced."How is it possible that this is happening?" whispers Aitana in a whisper. Feeling lost and not knowing what to do, she circled her legs and clung to them as if that made her invisible. Nothing she had read in her romance books, gave her a clue as to what all this might mean and so, she felt completely lost.On the other hand, the wolves who served Helmut and had tried to stop him were slowly waking up from an experience that almost cost them their lives. Dyder, one of those who led the search, gets up from the ground and the first thing he sees is Aitana crying.'She's still alive, that's a good sign' Dyder whispers mentally.With his body aching, he approaches the girl who, although looking in his direction, hadn't noticed that someone had gotten up. His thoughts travel faster than light, because, he had experienced so many things in one night, he couldn't get out of his amazement."Miss, are you all right?" asks Dyder and that's when Aitana looks up so calmly, it's surprising."I... I don't know. I really don't know if I'm okay or I'm getting to a point where I'm disintegrating, and I don't notice it" Aitana whispers in a whisper."I'll take her to her room" says Dyder."No, I don't want to go back to that place. Let me go, before he comes back and kills me."Dyder remembered the initial plan and nodding, helped lift Aitana, while informing his people of their location, so they could help them get off the island they were on."We'll take her to safety, don't worry about a future attack for now" Dyder says and that doesn't alleviate Aitana's concern much.Aitana, leaves wishing she was not going back to the place where her dreams were not fulfilled, but nightmares she had forgotten were. With her legs trembling, she left wishing soon to get out of the hell she had walked voluntarily and blindfolded. What concerned the others, however, was whether he would survive Helmut's curse. Surviving the night, was a crucial thing for the pack who were imploring for their chief to be cured."What will happen to Helmut?" asks Aitana remembering the pain in his eyes."He'll show up in the morning. If he gets away from the island, he'll be back in the morning, when the moon doesn't affect him so much.""What does that mean, is there anything to explain what happened?" asks Aitana and no one dares to speak, increasing her curiosity.Related chapters
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 8: Sacrifice
Narrated AitanaThe night felt too short, and it was no wonder, in the middle of the rain I had to flee the island, because my husband wanted to kill me. So, neither in the car, nor on the yacht they used to take me off the island, I couldn't sleep. When I arrived at the house where I thought I was going to rest, many questions flooded my mind, and I could not sleep no matter how hard I tried. Exhausted, I see how the weak rays of the sun, cross the fabric of the curtains, while I check that it is not a dream what I lived last night.I look around and see my wedding dress that looks like anything but a wedding dress. I get up knowing I won't be able to sleep and using only my sheets to cover my nakedness, I enter the bathroom I refused to give myself last night."God, hopefully water is what I need to wake up from this nightmare" I ask in a whisper, as the water begins to moisten my body, as it mocks my naive thought of waking up from a reality where evidently, I won't be able to get
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 9: Decisions
I was overwhelmed. I could count the sentences that Helmut had said and confirmed that he had not said much, but the little he had said had left me so stunned that the night had arrived, and I was still on the floor not knowing what to do or say.It was clear that he had said that I was going to die, what I didn't understand was why I was going to die, was he going to turn into a beast that wants to kill me every night? God, I hope that's not it, because I doubt I could survive something like that."I'd better lock the door, before it comes to kill me" I mutter putting the lock on and sitting on the bed not knowing what else to do.I was in serious trouble, and I didn't know what to do to get out of this trap that is going to end my life. Because if my strange husband didn't do it, the worry would kill me. Not knowing what to do was going to end me.The door opens and I stand up scared and confused because they could open it without problems. The girl appears with an apologetic smile,
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 10: Closeness
I knew I was doing something crazy, because how could I be so bold and daring with someone I obviously didn't like? But here was the competitive Aitana that I didn't want to lose and if this time I was going to do it, it had to be big. So, determined, I kissed him with all the desire to reproduce with his help, even though I really didn't like the idea very much. I needed to bend him and if I had to use the weapons that lust gave women, I would do it. Helmut tries to push me away and I cling to his body, as if I were a polar bear clinging to his tree. I was to seduce him, and I didn't care that he was basically the person I disliked most on earth.It was only when I was running out of air, that I turned away from the man with a blank stare. So, I slowly backed away from him, waiting for him to say something that would hurt me or fuel my desire for him to be the man I had been made to imagine when we announced our engagement."You're crazy" he whispers with his lips swollen from the
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 11: Fears
It is only when I recover my normal heart rate that I remember something he said, and my fear makes me practically hyperventilate. He said helicopter, why should we go by helicopter, did he choose it because he knows I'm afraid of heights?I swallow hard and walk where he disappeared, but, before I reach the second floor, I hear a helicopter approaching, causing me to fear for my life. However, I move forward hoping that he will notice my fear and want to leave alone or at best, leave me here.I am sure I will be better off here, away from him than in that castle. So, I approach the man of whom I must agree, he looks more attractive than in the pictures and ignoring the aura of danger around him, I reach his side."What's wrong?" he asks coldly, taking on the mask he always wears to be cold and rude.'This is not a good sign' I mutter mentally."I... can I stay here?""No" Helmut says firmly looking at me, then looking towards where the helicopter lands."Please" I say pleadingly, as
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 12: Not Being Alone
I was afraid. I had barely approached the completely shut down helicopter and I felt that, at any moment, I would collapse to the ground, because my heart would stop in fear. But more fear than that, I was afraid to see my husband angry.Last night I had already seen what he was capable of, and I didn't want to give him a reason to do what he didn't dare to do yesterday. So, I remain silent, trying to control my fear, although my trembling hands, give me away."You look like jelly. Stop shaking so much. You're not facing death" Helmut complains and I swallow hard to moisten my dry throat."To me it's something like death. I feel that, just by looking at it, I could die and so, I doubt that I can get on that device that should never have been invented. So, if you're in a hurry, you can go on that, I'll go on the yacht. Have a good trip" I say trying to escape from my situation.But Helmut refuses to be a good husband or at least do a good deed for the day and so, he grabs my arm and pu
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 13: Being crazy
I didn't know what had made my husband give in, but clearly I was happy to see that I didn't have to get on a device that was surely going to kill me and I felt calmer to be accompanied by the calmest version of my husband I have ever seen.We arrive at the yacht and when I am about to get on, one of his men extends his hand to me, to get on the yacht so I don't fall off by losing my balance. But. as I am about to take it, a grunt makes us both stop."I have not given you permission to touch my wife" says Helmut and the boy immediately, pushes his hand away in fear."I'm sorry, sir" says the boy, turning away from me."You were going to help me up.""Do you have a leg problem? Because you look pretty good to me, for you to have to get help getting on a simple yacht." Helmut says climbing up with his hands in his pockets and arrogance in his voice.I mentally wish that he would fall because he lost his balance, but that only remains wishes that unfortunately, are not going to come true
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 14: Dad and Daughter
As if I were walking being dominated by someone else, I get off the yacht and get into one of the cars that is driven by a woman. Helmut's threats and what he has told me, reverberate in my mind with a warning signal, as the red flags wave violently.My mind short circuits as I process about dying accompanied and it is only when we reach my castle, that I react after seeing more than thirty women, standing facing each other, making a path for me."Welcome to the cold castle, Mrs. Baumann" they all greet in unison and the displeasure at hearing my last name being married to Helmut, is not long in coming."Call me Aitana, please" I plead, and they all look at each other uncomfortably.""Ma'am, we are forbidden to call you that. Mr. Baumann said we could only call you by your last name" says one of the girls who dares to speak up."My last name is not Baumann. My last name is...""She is now married to Mr. Baumann. His last name is Baumann, ma'am." Says another girl and I bite my bottom
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 15: Being attentive
I wanted to run, his murderous look was telling me to do it or I might die now, but, when I tried to take a step, my legs lost the battle and I fall to the ground in an ungraceful way.'Why must embarrassing things happen to me just when he's around?' I mentally ask myself."Get up, or do you just like being on the floor?" Helmut asks with annoyance, and I try to get up, but, my legs don't respond."Do you have anything else to say? Because if you're done, you can leave." I say coolly."You can't get up, can you?""I can get up.""Surely you haven't walked since you came in here and you were in the same sitting position the whole time. That and you not feeding well must have left you limp" Helmut says and I hate that I can't get up and laugh in his face telling him he is wrong."You go about your important business I'll take care of mine." I say finally. "I'm not leaving until I see you eating." "Why are you worrying about that?" he asks sneezing."Oh, that's another problem, how ca

Everyone on the island begins to show their respect for Aitana, while I watch as everything we experience here passes like a few seconds in a trailer. Remembering how I despised her and she wanted to leave here, throwing herself out of a window, makes me realize how much we have changed.Because it is in this place where she wanted to escape from, where she now wants to be forever. One by one they leave, leaving only Cleotilde's family and my closest men, those who knew our story.The night arrives and the castles are illuminated, at Aitana's request, we enter the one that was my castle, where the memories of my mistakes slap me so hard that I find it complicated to continue, however, a warm hand is placed on my hand and invites me to continue."Collect all the pain in here, I want to take it with me." Aitana says and I swallow hard."Aitana...""I am an expert in bearing pain, let me pick up all that pain clinging to those memories, I will take them with me
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 184: Being home
Six months laterWe had spent the time the doctors had given Aitana and although I wish that was the sign that they had made a mistake with the diagnosis, that was not the case. She had gotten much worse. So much that it hurt.There were times when she didn't remember who she was, others, where she didn't know how to move and at some, she would become so violent as she screamed for them to end her life. She would vomit, many times she would soil herself because she couldn't even warn them.Other times, she would wake up not knowing how to talk and with each step, her brain cancer would take over so much that we had to put the videos and photos we had taken on each walk, because many times she was suspicious even of the children.Today, for example, she did not speak, she did not move, it seemed that she was in a vegetable state, but, it was because her brain was barely functioning, being invaded by a tumor that looked like something full of spikes that were even

We had to let go and I was glad that even remembering all that we had lived and not remembering how well we had spent these months traveling, she decided to move forward. I couldn't say that I decided without knowing what I was doing, because Aitana knew it and I was glad she didn't hold a grudge."I want to leave here. I want us to resume our family trip today" Aitana says and I try to process what's going on."I understand, we will be leaving today" I say trying to get up."Although I don't remember what happened these past few months, there are pictures that give me an idea of it. Also, a few days ago, I had started to write down my thoughts of what I had experienced and although I left a general idea of what I had experienced, I know that I have enjoyed it. That we have been happy" says Aitana and I nod."We really have been. Even though we have measured time, we've spent time being happy the four of us." I murmur and she holds out her hand, which I take.

I could not understand what was going on. The woman who had been hostile when I asked her to come back, was now kissing me. I didn't understand what was going on and although I wanted to kiss her, I pulled away feeling that I was taking advantage of her confusion."Is something wrong?" asks Aitana and I stick closer to the back of my seat, to be away from her."I don't want you because of your mental confusion to feel like I'm taking advantage of you by kissing you" I say and she smiles."I'm the one who started the kiss.""But, I have my memories and I know you didn't agree to come back with me before the surgery or after you didn't have all your memories of the past like you do now." I murmur and she smiles."You are so cautious now. You don't look like the man who kissed me on our wedding day, just because I had another man's scent near me" she murmurs.I immediately, blush for having been so bold knowing I had a curse that could have killed he
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 181: Petition for Oblivion
The following dayWe had not been able to leave Amsterdam as we had planned, because Aitana was still not awake. Fortunately, the doctors said it was exhaustion that had her sleeping and not something serious.Exhausted from almost no sleep, thinking that she would wake up, I go out to have some coffee and with the computer working on the door of her room, I wait for the hours to pass. However, I have barely managed to sit up in the chair, when I hear a groan.Fearing that something bad has happened in my absence, I open the door to the room, which makes my legs weaken. The woman, who had not woken up, moans slightly as she tries to get up."I'll help you" I say running to her.Gingerly, I help her to sit up and I stand watching her, waiting for a scolding for allowing her to fall, an apology for scaring us or anything. I don't care if it's an insult, what matters to me, is that she speaks.That she tells my mind that she's alive. Because just seeing he
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 180: Being Together
After the words he had said, the boys tried to be strong, but, again they walked away and in front of the pulpit they cried begging for strength to face this, I felt the same way.In silence I cried and when we ran out of energy, we looked at each other and I felt it, the connection of father and sons had been formed, there was no way for anyone in the world to deny or doubt that they were my sons, because this calamity, had consolidated the attempts of connection that in the past had been tried to be made.Something good had happened among so much suffering, but, I did not like the way it had happened. It was painful, we were united, but, it was painful to see my children suffer and me not being able to do something to be able to alleviate their pain."What should we do now?" asks Albert"Show strength to their mother. She suffers a lot, but, she keeps it quiet because she doesn't want you to realize what is happening. But, she didn't want to do that
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 179: Telling Children the Truth
The hours pass and we are finally allowed to see Aitana after several tests were done and confirmed that she was out of danger. Relief overcomes us and the boys thank God audibly as they wait to see their mother.Happy that my children are not violent like me, we advance to the room where the woman is still not awake. The doctor watches me and I understand that the time to know everything is now.So, I nod for the doctor to come to us and help me to tell what is happening with Aitana. Because I know that alone I can't and I can't disturb more Aitana who tries to look strong, although she suffers a lot."Guys..." I say calling their attention, after they both take their mother's hand, to then kiss this or her forehead."Is something wrong?" asks Albert when he sees that the doctor doesn't leave."I want you to hear your mother's health report. But, before that, I want you to tell me something, are you guys tough guys?" I ask and they look at each other"
The Alpha Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 178: Calming and consoling
I felt that the hourglass that showed me that I had little time left with Aitana, had run out of time from one moment to the next and it was all someone's fault. So, I run towards the people trying to run away from me.Seeing how they run, the desire to hunt takes over me and I run transforming myself into the wolf that never loses a prey. The beast that appeared when the curse caused me to only see my prey to kill it.I run after my prey and many people present scream when they see me turn into an animal, but, I don't care about that. My wife had been hurt and they had to pay for it. Without any fear that the man would die on the spot. I throw myself at him and he falls down with his face looking up at me."S-sir, please. Don't hurt me" the man says in a whisper, while in his gaze there is a fear I can't describe, the only thing that surprises me is that he didn't wet his pants because of the fear he feels.He knew how to do it. Just one bite, one scratch and hi
