The Alpha’s Scorned 127. Corpse Bride
...Wynter POV...Even though Xander was gone, I didn't feel any different. I still felt lost. I felt like my purpose in life had been taken from me. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I found myself at Darius' side once more. I had picked up his lifeless body, and continued to hold him in my arms. Nothing around us mattered anymore. I felt myself crumble beside him. I no longer felt strong enough to even hold my head up. I wrapped Darius' arm around me as I placed my head on his chest for the last time. I think part of me was desperate to hear his heartbeat. However, his heart had long since stopped beating. I knew Darius was dead, but my mind wouldn't allow me to comprehend what that even meant.My tears seemed to take on a life of their own. Flowing like a waterfall from my face, onto his chest. The rain had stopped, but even then my mood didn't seem to notice. I felt an eerily coldness. Darius once comforting warmth, long gone. Only to be replaced by the corpse next to me.

...Wynter POV...Beep.Beep.Beep."Is there anything that we can do?"Beep.Beep.Beep."What do you want me to do? The Alpha is dead. I'm a doctor not a witch doctor. I can't revive a corpse."Beep.Beep.Beep."I'm aware of that. But we need to do something. You saw the way she was when we brought her in. She's hysterical. She just lost her mate. She nearly killed us when we tried to put him in a separate room."Beep.Beep.Beep."She's sedated now, but we can't sedate her forever. She's going to wake up, and when she does, we need to prepare ourselves for what will happen next."Beep.Beep.Beep."You're not insinuating what I think you are."Beep.Beep.Beep."You know just as well as I do, that we may have no other choice. If Wynter presents a threat to this pack, we'll have to destroy her."Beep.Beep.Beep."That's mutiny! The alpha may be gone, but I won't support you in killing our Luna. She's the only thing we have left!"Beep.Beep.Beep."You know we have no other choice.
The Alpha’s Scorned 129. Intruder
...Kenji POV...Wynter had been with Darius for a few hours already. I had gone back to her room and begun pacing, desperately trying to figure out what to do next. I didn't want to give up on Wynter, just like the doctor seemed to have done. A thought came to mind, mind it be a desperate one, but at this point, we didn't have any other option. I ran out into the hallway, looking for the doctor from earlier. It didn't take long for me to find him. He was standing in front of the nurses' desk, reading over a report from one of his patients."Where're Wynter's parents?" I ask him, getting straight to the point."Rooms 605 and 706. Why?" He asks."I think they may just be the key to fixing this.""But they're not even her real parents." The doctor begins, making me spin on my heel to look at him."Does that really matter? They may not be her birth parents, but they are the only parents she's ever been given the chance to know. If anyone can help her right now, they can.""Are you sure a
The Alpha’s Scorned 130. Blood Lust
I continued to stare at the door in complete shock. My mind had yet to catch up with the circumstances. I was rendered speechless as I attempted to fathom what I'd just witnessed. My mind had to be playing tricks on me. How else could I explain what happened? There wasn't an explanation."Dude!"I feel someone shake me, only to realize that I'd been left staring at the door, and had temporarily forgotten everyone else standing around me.I turn to look at an annoyed Hunter, who seems to be seconds away from slapping me. As if on cue, I watch his hand raise, and come towards my face. I quickly reach up, grabbing his wrist in the process, preventing him from making contact."About time." Hunter remarks."I almost got a hit on you." Hunter says, feigning a laugh."Only in your dreams. You haven't been successful with landing a hit on me yet." I remark, shrugging my shoulders; earning me a grimace and an eye roll from Hunter."That's only because it's not right to hit your elders." Hunter

...Wynter POV...I was absolutely terrified. I didn't know what to do. I was already an emotional wreck, and that was before that man had entered the room. I hated knowing that Darius' fate was on my shoulders, and my shoulders alone. Wasn't there anyone else that could do this? Couldn't the vampire from earlier do this instead? He would probably have much better experience than me. I knew we didn't have time for delays, so I went to Darius. The doubts in my mind continued to grow wild, as I looked at the open wound in his chest. Praying for the familiar rhythm of his heart to come back. I was psyching myself out, and I was well aware of that. I took a deep breath, and focused on what was important. I closed my eyes, concentrating on my vampiric side. I felt my canines elongate further than they ever had before. They changed from their sharp form to razor-like needles. I ran my tongue along them, and was surprised by how sharp they'd become. I bent lower, closer to his heart. The s

When I wake up, I feel dizzy and light-headed. A feeling of warmth and comfort washes over me, but I don't know why. I can't remember a thing. Where am I? What happened?I feel like I've not only been hit by a truck. But I also feel as though I've been run over by a steam roller. I can't manage to move a muscle. I don't understand what's going on. Why can't I move?I try to open my eyes, but find the task too difficult, so decide to just relax. A comforting beating rings in my ears. I don't know why the rhythm sounds so beautiful. But I find myself entranced by it. Almost as if it's gently rocking me back to sleep.Unable to move, I decide to allow myself a chance to rest.I don't know how long I had fallen asleep. But when I woke up, memories of the previous events begin to cloud my mind. Until I suddenly Darius.My eyes burst open, as I look for Darius. Which is when I see I'm laying on Darius. My hand softly grazing his chest. His chest is so smooth. I run my hand over his heart, a
The Alpha’s Scorned 133. Icebreaker
We quickly got changed and headed towards Darius' office. Kenji hadn't actually told us where to go, but Darius figured that Kenji was waiting for him in his office. Darius' office was big, and could easily entertain a dozen people comfortably.I'm not sure why but once we made it to Darius' office door, I felt a strange feeling of uneasiness. "What's wrong?" Darius asks, spinning me around to look at him."What makes you think something's wrong?""I can feel it. You've only just been up for a short while, so may not have noticed the difference, but ever since you turned me, I've been much more in tune with your feelings. I know what you're feeling, and in this case perhaps better than you do.""You mean, you feel that as well."Darius nods his head with a slight smile. Raising his hand to cup my cheek, softly stroking my cheek with his thumb."Mhmm. I feel everything. So I'll ask again. What's wrong?"I look away, not sure how to process this. I feel uneasy, and yet at the same time
The Alpha’s Scorned 134. Amandeus
...Darius POV..."I believe introductions are in order." Kenji says, once again commanding the room. Even though I may be Alpha, I have no intention of running today's meeting. Today is not about ranks or titles, but rather a time to be with my mate. I don't know what we're about to learn, but I have a deep-seated urge to be with my mate. I don't know why, only that I feel as though she will need me to be there for her. Something tells me that she's going to need me right now. So I'm more than happy to allow Kenji his moment to shine. "Kayden and Ayira, this is Callista and Maddox, Wynter's foster parents. Callista and Maddox, this is Kayden and Ayria. Alpha and Luna of Moon Stone Pack. Ayira is my sister." Kenji says, smiling at her."Everyone, this is Genesis, my mate." Kenji looks down at his mate sitting on the couch next to where he's standing. They both look at each other with a deep sense of love. It's truly wonderful seeing them so happy together. Kenji reaches a hand toward
