The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir THIRTY-THREE
BrielleA million emotions flashed across Zadyre’s face immediately I uttered those words, and the silence that echoed after had me holding my breath. The truth was out. And I’ve never felt worse than I do now.He was about to give up his life for a child that I hid from him, and the look on his face showed the last emotion I wanted to see, but was expected.Pain.“What?” He whispered, his voice filled with pain.His eyes searched mine, looking for any hint that it was a lie.I wiped my eyes as I let out a shaky sigh.“I’m sorry Zadyre.” His glassy eyes stared at me with disbelief as he reeled from the shock as he stumbled backwards, and I took a tentative step forward, unsure of what to do.He held the door frame, his other hand running through his hair. “I- I can’t believe this.”He looked like a kicked puppy, and I bit my lip feeling like the worst person to ever exist. I was just trying to protect them from him, I had no idea he was going to be a great father.“All this time,” h

ZadyreThe pain I felt in my chest once she told me about the kids was indescribable. I had no idea what to feel. I thought I was barren, I have given up on the fact that i would ever have kids of mine and now, when I was about to die, she revealed this.Words cannot describe the betrayal I felt. And the shame, because if I wasn’t such a monster, she wouldn’t have hid that from me.She would have told me the minute she got pregnant, and I would have taken her out of the palace to celebrate, and we would have taken care of them together.I would have been with them every step of the way, a supportive mate, and the best father ever, but now…I ruined my chances. The least I could do was pour out my Heart into letters, and talk to them before I died, which I did.And as Damon prepared for the ritual, I took hard breaths.The table Rachel laid on has been covered with candles, and the kids were ushered out of the room.I watched them as they left, and my heart clenched. That was the last

BrielleWith tears in my eyes, I stumbled out of the room and ran to the balcony, not wanting the sound of the ritual to get to me.I couldn’t bare to hear or be next to the place where Zadyre took his last breath.Goddess. I hate him so much. Because now it was so hard to force myself to not hate him because he has completely redeemed himself and now he was about to give his life for his daughter.Now he’s going to leave me to raise them alone.I sobbed into my hands. Why couldn’t I win? Just once, why couldn’t things go my way? And he hasn’t given me any explanation for why he brought me here.The letter he gave me flashed in my mind and I instantly pulled it out ...and unfolded it, the words blurring together as tears streamed down my face. The letter read:“I do not have much time to say all I have to say, but I am about to die, so it’s now or never.For years I trained myself to be unloving. And the day that I met you, I knew I would have to rewrite all I thought myself, so I pr

ZadyreThe breeze I felt as I stood on the balcony of my father’s room did nothing to soothe my nerves as I thought non-stop about the events of today. Rachel was fine which was fast for a poison that was killing her really quickly. Damon already took James’ blood and the itch James used has been tracked don by my guards to do the unbinding ritual for the triplets. Brielle and the triplets were resting, but I couldn’t bring myself to.Brielle forgiving me meant so much to me. it was hard for me to move on from finding out the triplets were mine, but it helps me keep my kingdom without having to give another heir, and the threats against Brielle and the kids have been cancelled.Which meant there was no reason to keep them here anymore. I owed her that much, allowing her to return back to the city.My wolf, Ares was strongly against it, but that as the last thing I could do to finally make everything right.And finally focus on fixing all my mistakes for years concerning this pack. No

Zadyre Like Brielle said, the hangover was worse than anyone I’ve ever experienced as it hit me at once.I groaned loudly as I opened my eyes at the bright lights streaming from the opened windows. I never open the windows, ever.That’s when the fucking bastard I call my friend yelled out of nowhere into my ears.“What the fuck is wrong with you asshole?” He hit me with a pillow over again.“Leave me the fuck alone, Damon.” I croaked, clutching my head in agony as I rolled to the far end of the bed, burying myself in my blanket.“Something is wrong, Zadyre. And I’m not leaving until you tell me what it is, because you hardly get this drunk if there’s no reason to be.”Having a friend you grew up with is a big mistake because they mostly knew you more than you know yourself.But the problem was I had no idea what was wrong.“There’s nothing wrong like I said, so why don’t you leave me and find someone else to bother?”I could feel Damon’s gaze bore into the back of my head.“I have f

Brielle My teeth gritted together as I swallowed the lump forming in my throat as I walked out of Zadyre’s room. What was I expecting? Please stay? Let me work out things with my kids?Of course not. It’s Zadyre. No one is more arrogant or self centered than him. Instead of going back to the room, I turned and headed to the balcony I discovered that overlooked the whole yard, giving me the privacy I needed to sort my thoughts.Do people change? I knew he wasn’t the monster I thought he was, but this doesn’t put in a good word for him. It was just so confusing I wish I could scream-“Hey Brielle.”Damon’s voice came from behind and I sighed, turning to him with a smile.“Hey. Thank you so much for-“He held up a hand with a little smile on his lips. “Don’t do that, Brielle. I’m more than happy to take care of the little angels.” I returned the smile as he joined me at the balcony, standing by my side and a comfortable silence descended.Why haven’t I heard of Damon until now? He s

ZadyrePathetic fool were the words that echoed in my mind as I stormed away from the balcony, fighting every urge to go back and clea her tears.My wolf was groaning in pain at the rejection from our mate, but I pushed it behind my mind as my body vibrated with anger.Begging her to stay? Kissing her? Who was I kidding? She hated me. A stupid kiss wouldn’t change anything.I hate myself for thinking it would change anything.Letting them go was the best thing for me. At least I could focus on being king like I’m supposed to. That’s the only thing I could do.Damon spotted me from afar as I made my way to the dungeons and he instantly picked up on my body language and gave a curt nod.“It’s time for Lydia’s execution.” He declared and I walked into the dungeons that led to the execution grounds. My body vibrated with anger and pain, but as I laid my eyes on Lydia who was tied up to a pole where she was going to be burnt alive, I felt nothing but undiluted rage. None of this would be

*One month later*Brielle“You should really let us go to the club tonight, Brie. All you’ve done since you e been back is work and take care of those little demons, you need to take some time for yourself!”Amelia, my new friend, tried to reason as I worked and I rolled my eyes at her silly attempt at helping me blow off steam.Amelia and I have been friends from afar for a long time as she was one of my favorite workers as my assistant, but after she helped me move and find the best supernatural school for my kids, we’ve become closer.She knew about everything that had happened and made it her business to help me with the kids.But she also wanted to get me back into the water and that was the last thing I wanted now.“Amelia, you’ve asked me this question so many times and it’s still no. I mean who would take care of the kids if we are both gone?”She gave me a look that said she was done with my bullshit.“You hired Nara for that soul purpose, sweet heart. You see you are beginni

DamonThe sounds around me suddenly went silent. I could do no other thing than panic as we walked outside and I set my eyes on Amelia that was in the pool of her own blood. Her hand trembled over her stomach and her dress was soaked with her own blood. My chest tightened and it felt like I was being stabbed over and over again in my heart. For the first time in decades, fear consumed me. Not just fear- terror.Brielle ran to her and started talking to her but I didn’t hear anything, I walked to her and I dropped to my knees beside her, ignoring the roar of the battle continuing behind me.“Amelia!” My voice cracked, raw and desperate. Her lashes fluttered weakly, her breath shallow. Her usually fiery eyes, the ones that taunted and challenged me endlessly, were glassy and unfocused.I pressed my hands to the wound, my fingers slick with her blood. “You’re not leaving me. Do you hear me?” My voice was a growl now, a plea wrapped in steel. I could feel her slipping, her life force dimm
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 98
AmeliaIt was the day of the wedding and we were finally out of captivity. Damon and I had tried to escape but it was futile. Later on, Sebastian had come to our rescue and even if we were weary at first we decided to trust him. The palace was in chaos as everyone prepared for the wedding. Sebastian had told us of his plan already and I was ready for how the day was going to turn out. Maids and guards were going back and forth as they prepare the hall for the wedding, they didn’t want to be on the receiving end of Orlando’s fury. I avoided Damon most of the morning, finding excuses to busy myself with Brielle.But even amidst the turmoil, my thoughts were elsewhere.I was pregnant. I had found out earlier that morning and I hadn’t been able to process things well since then. I hadn’t told anyone- not even said the words out loud to myself. I felt like saying it would make it more real and I wasn’t sure I wanted to accept the truth. I placed a hand over my stomach and let out a shak
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 97
AmeliaThe days at the resort passed in an awkward, suffocating blur. Damon’s rejection echoed in my mind, a relentless loop of words that stung more than I cared to admit. I tried my best to stay out of his way and pretended like the pull of the bond that was dragging me to him was nonexistent. I avoided him as best as I could, but we were staying the same room and tension was thick and suffocating. Every time my eyes fell on him, I would feel my hear ache- it was longing for his love and touch but I knew it was something I couldn’t get- something I would never get. I buried myself in helping Brielle and Zadyre with their problems. It was easier to focus on them than to face my own mess. Brielle had enough to deal with without me adding my drama to the mix, so I kept my distance and my mouth shut.When we returned to the pack, the air felt different. Heavier. Maybe it was just me, carrying the weight of the unspoken bond between Damon and me. Or maybe it was the way the pack still
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 96
DamonThe discussion I had with Zadyre earlier played over and over again in my head as I drove through the road, holding on to the steering wheel tightly. “You know you’re the only I trust and know can do this, Damon,” he had said in a very serious tone. “The border spell will keep us safe, but it has to be precise. If it falters, Sebastian and his allies could find us before we’re ready.”“I know it’s an easy task,” I had replied him as I shrugged it off. But Zadyre’s expression had told me this wasn’t like the other times.“And,” he continued, glancing at Brielle and the kids in the distance, “I need you to keep Amelia in line. She can be of help.”I’d raised an eyebrow at that. “Of help? Sounds like a handful.”“Just take her with you,” Zadyre muttered, his gaze darkening. “She’s loyal and she can keep an eye on you. She can even help you.”Now, as Amelia sat in the passenger seat beside me, her arms crossed and her glare cutting through the silence, I wondered if Zadyre had unde
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 95
A sneak peak to Damon’s point of view of when he first met AmeliaDamon’s POVThe drive back to Brielle’s location was tense, filled with an unspoken urgency. Zadyre was silent in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He hadn’t said much since I convinced him to come back and get her. Convincing him hadn’t been easy; his stubbornness was unmatched, and his pride even more so. But I couldn’t let him leave her behind.“She’s your mate, Zadyre,” I’d told him earlier, my tone sharp. “You can’t just abandon her. You’ve been through hell, and so has she. The least you can do is protect her.”He’d gritted his teeth, jaw tight, before muttering something about her safety being more important than his presence. But I knew better. Their bond was very strong and undeniable, no matter how much he tried to pretend he wasn’t drawn towards her or needed her. As we got closer to the house where Brielle was supposedly at, I could feel Zadyre’s body tensing up. It was radiating off him li
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 94
The End… Or the Beginning? BrielleDays have passed and everything had for back to the way they always were. It was morning and after breakfast, we decided to take the kids outside. The pack lands were now more beautiful after we had gotten rid of every evil that plagued it. There trees were lush, the rivers clear, the people happy and the air was filled with the smell of the beautiful and blooming flowers. It was like Mother Nature was happy that we were healing from the past so so she was helping to hasten the process. Nikki and Micah were running in front of us as they chased each other though the garden with their laugh echoing across the beautiful sky. Rachael was walking in front of us too both not as playfully as her brothers, she had always been much calmer and smarter than them. Zadyre and I walked behind them while holding hands and letting the peacefulness of the park and the air wash past us. It felt surreal, this calm after the storm.“You know,” I began, my voice sof

BrielleImmediately Orlando fell to the ground in the hall and lost his life, I felt a surge of energy burst through from him and enter into me. It felt like something that I didn’t know was missing from my body finally came into place and I felt that wild energy course through me though it was tamer than before. It was overwhelming and terrifying all at once but I soon relaxed my body and the tension left as I welcomed it. My powers. They were back.I gasped as the strength and connection to my wolf rushed through my veins, stronger than ever. It was like breathing again after years of suffocation. It was too late to save devastation as he had breathed his last so I rushed over to Zadyre that was still battered and bloody, his wounds had not healed at all and I could see the life slipping out of him gradually. His breathing was unsteady and shallow and his chest rose and fell but it was faint. “Zadyre!” I cried as I moved closer to him. I didn’t know where to touch him, I didn’t kno
The Alpha’s Betrayal : Running with his Heir Chapter 92
Sebastian I could feel myself losing a lot of blood and my life slipping away, my body was aching a lot and even breathing was painful. Everything became blurry but I tried so hard to stay awake and alive, I had something to say to Zadyre and I wouldn’t die without telling him what I had in mind. I turned my head to the direction where Zadyre laid motionless with Brielle by his side. His body was battered and covered in blood and regret washed over me. I had done this, how had we gotten here?I let out a shaky breathe as different mentors from the past came flooding into my mind- memories of my anger, my acting out and of me being wicked. I had hated Zadyre and did a lot of bad things to him because I had thought he was the reason we were orphans but I was wrong and I knew the truth now. And as I slowly but surely lost my life, I needed to let him know and I couldn’t die without his forgiveness. Brielle was crying and I could she was torn between staying with Zadyre and coming to c

Brielle“Zadyre!” I called, and he glanced back at me just long enough to understand what I was about to do but Orlando must have noticed that we were silently communicating because when I moved closer to him, he turned his attention away from Zadyre and punched me. “Brielle!” Zadyre yelled but he couldn’t stop Orlando or get to me. The force from Orlando’s punch had me being flown across the room like a rag doll. My body hit the stone wall with a loud thud and I fell to the ground, the stone I had held and watched to use on Orlando had lodged itself against my chest and I had an open would. Every breathe I took felt like I was being stabbed in the lungs over and over again but I couldn’t be weak or just stay there, I had to do something to help Zadyre. My vision started becoming blurry and I tried to sit up but it was hard. I managed to get the stone out of my body and my eyes glanced to the side where Damon and Sebastian were engaged in a serious fight with Lydia. She was a storm
