Chapter 3

POV of Bella  

"No!" I screamed and ran to her, tears already streaming from my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 

Amara was unconscious and covered in her own blood as she lay on the ground. I knelt down next to her and picked her up. 

"What happened, baby?" "What happened to you?" I inquired. 

"The Beta is here," Blood dribbled from her mouth as she coughed and said, "It was when he kicked me." 

I remained silent. I hurried over to the mattress and put her down. Since we were denied access to a hospital and I couldn't heal her on my own, I was unable to take her to the pack doctor. 

She was getting weaker and coughing up spurts of blood, so I moved her blonde hair to the side and touched her face as I observed her face turn paler. She had a gash-like wound on her torso, which I could see when I lifted her shirt. 

How could he harm our dog in this way? I'm going to fucking end him, Hera hissed. 

Hera, please calm down. We need to figure out how to get her healed first, and I'm at a loss for ideas. 

Hera remained silent for a time, and I stared at Amara instead. Ever since she moved at the age of three, she had frequent illnesses. She turned out to be only a silver wolf like myself because, unlike her, I had not gone through premature shifting, which had greatly weakened her due to the demanding process of shifting. 

I'm done now! Tell her to converse with her wolf to aid in her healing; I'm sure it will work, Hera remarked. 

I concurred with Hera and shifted to raise Amara up. 

I called out to her while leaning her up against the wall, "Baby." 

"Yes," you said, "Mommy." She gave me a feeble smile and said, "I feel so woozy." "Am I going to die?" she exclaimed. Will I run into my grandmother up there? 

"No," I promise, "baby." She said, "You are not going to die, you are going to live for me, and you will be okay." I shook my head in disbelief. 

"The Beta's girlfriend predicted my demise," She snorted. 

"No, baby, you won't." "I want you to do something for me, baby," I said, taking her face in my hands.

"What is it, Mummy?" When she asked, I grinned at her because I knew she could do this despite her young age. 

"Cora, I want you to communicate with your wolf." I requested of her, "I want you to tell Cora to help you heal." 

Cora feels exhausted just like I do, okay mommy? 

So that you won't feel exhausted any longer, I want you to attempt. 

She nodded before talking to her wolf for a time in silence. I soon noticed her exerting herself, indicating that she was trying to recover. When I lifted her shirt to look at the wound, I could see that it was gradually healing. My smile spread across my face. 

"You both did it, you did it." I gave her a playful face shake and said, "Now I want you to cough to see if there is blood." There was no evidence of blood when she did it. 

Saying, "You see..." I gave her a bear embrace and said, "You're fine, baby." 

She smiled and nodded toward me, saying, "I'm hungry." 

She said, "Love, I don't think there will be food tonight." My face dropped at her words, and I turned to look at the trampled pancakes on the floor; they were not edible in this condition.

"I get it, mommy," She sat down on the bed and said, "I'm going to bed now." 

Tomorrow, Mom will get you something to eat, alright? 

"Yes." When that day comes, she said with a nod, "And one day we will live in a big house with plenty of food and maybe I can get a daddy, it will be fine and we will be happy." Her missing tooth gap was visible when she giggled. Despite the grime on her face and the ripped, bloody garments she was wearing, she appeared to be an angel. 

                            

          

                

"Go to sleep, child." She closed her eyes and fell into a beautiful slumber as I kissed her cheek. 

I crossed my hands over her as I sat down next to her, hoping to get some sleep as well. 

That night, I had trouble falling asleep because I could tell Hera wasn't at ease. She was experiencing mixed feelings of worry and rage. I wanted to talk to her, so I got out of bed. 

How is Hera doing? 

There's going to be something soon! I can sense it, she remarked. 

I don't understand you. 

First of all, I'm upset that that idiot Beta almost killed my baby, and secondly, I'm nervous because I feel that something bad is about to happen. 

Let's retire to bed, Hera. 

I want to drink. We must obtain water, she replied. 

I gave her a smirk and got to my feet. Before leaving the basement to go fetch water, I glanced over to make sure Amara was asleep. 

I placed the water bottle in the garbage and started to leave the kitchen, feeling relieved that I hadn't run into anyone, when I felt the Beta's hand wrap around my neck. 

You ought to be sleeping, right? I heard him say, "Trying to steal something?" in my ear. 

Please let me leave. I trembled. 

What if I refuse? And kick you to the ground as I kicked that puppy of yours, he chuckled. 

I'm done now! When Amara was mentioned, Hera hissed, "Let me at the bastard!" 

This time, she took the initiative, so I didn't fight her. As her claws emerged, her canines grew longer. 

She seized the Beta's hand and began to twist it. He cried out in pain and shock. He was forced to the ground by Hera, who then pounced on him, slashed his face with her claws, leaving bloody lines in the process. 

, "You mutt!" He growled, releasing his strong aura and violently pushed her away. Hera instantly withdrew after we hit the wall, giving me full control. I attempted to leap to my feet and flee, but he quickly arrived in front of me and grabbed me, saying, "I am taking you to the Alpha." He yelled. 

"No! Please..." I begged as he pulled me to the Alpha's quarters and up the stairs. 

I guessed that the beta had already mind connected Alpha Titan because he was already outside the door. 

The question is, "What did she do now?" He gave an eye-roll. 

"Your pointless friend!" Before the Alpha, he threw me to the ground and said, "Did this!" At his face, he pointed. 

"I apologize." I groaned. 

Saying "Shut up!" "Get into the room and strip!" roared Alpha Titan. 

I climbed to my feet and entered the room, fumbling with my attire. 

I'll take it from here, she said. Before he entered the space and shut the door behind him, I overheard him say. 

"Oh my darling." "You are so in for it!" he said as he approached me and turned me to face him. He spoke before charging at me.

_________

When he got off and reached for the whip, I was bleeding everywhere and between my legs. I trembled when the chilly air brushed over my flesh. 

Oh dear, do you feel cold? As I screamed in pain, he continued to beat me with the whip while making fun of me. 

"Please, Alpha..." Please just kill me, I pleaded. I begged him to stop because the pain was intolerable. I lost hope that I could continue to endure it.
