The Alpha’s Scorned 47. Marked
...Catherine POV...After running into Darius in the hallway, I quickly ran to Alpha Xander's office. It was late at night, but I knew he would be awake. The man rarely slept, so tonight would be no different."Alpha!" I yell, bursting into Alpha Xander's office."What is the meaning of this?!" Alpha Xander says, sounding annoyed.Ignoring his outburst, I continue to approach his desk."It's Darius. He's here!" I say, getting to the point."Is he.." He says, clearly contemplating."Has he seen you already?" He asks."Yes." I say crestfallen."I take it by your response, he wasn't happy." "No." I sigh."He looked annoyed actually. He looked happy at first, but..." I begin, only to cut myself off, as I remember our encounter. "It looked like he had forgotten about me." I partly whimper.I'm not an idiot, I knew this was a possibility. After all, we weren't really destined mates, so he would never think of me as such. But I've always had strong feelings towards Darius. To me, he was th
The Alpha’s Scorned 48. Luna
...Kenji POV...We had finally completed our mission. Well, Darius' mission anyways. We managed to gain hundreds of new alliances and couldn't be happier. Since Genesis was here at Blood Moon, I was able to do most of my work for him while staying at the pack. There were times in which I had to go with him. However, Hunter and Spencer did most of the work that was directly involved with Darius. They travelled with Darius throughout the past eight years. I was glad that Darius never forced me to come with him. Being his Beta, I was bound to go, but he knew I didn't want to leave Genesis. So he never pushed me to go with him. Only on missions that posed to be a threat did he have me accompany him. Since having his luna with him was out of the question, I was the next best option. Similar to Lunas, Betas typically are more peacekeeping than warriors. We know when to pick our battles and are naturally good at calming others. Whereas Alphas typically are fuelled by emotions. There is a tim
The Alpha’s Scorned 49. Heart Break
"What do you mean she's in a coma?" I ask, furious. Instantly my mind begins to swarm with thoughts of what could've happened. 'Does someone know about her? Did someone order an attack on her? Are they trying to get to Blood Moon through her?'"Shit! How did this happen?" I ask."I don't know. Everything was going ok. We were sparring when suddenly it was as though she wasn't there. Not realizing that she wasn't paying attention, I hit her, but not that bad. She seemed fine after a few minutes, just winded. But..""But what?" I ask."All of a sudden, she clutched her stomach and gasped out in pain. Before I had a chance to figure out what happened, she fell to the ground screaming in pain. I rushed her to the hospital right away. Charlie is with her now, and is checking her over as we speak." He remarks. Like any werewolf, we're always leery of human doctors and hospitals as our DNA is not the same as a human, which also means that we don't always have traditional ailments. Due to t
The Alpha’s Scorned 50. Code Black
This was it...This was the day that I've both been dreading and longing for. The day in which Wynter returns home. I haven't told Darius yet, as I want to wait until she's here. I need to make sure she's safe before attempting to bring Darius into this.I arranged for a small clinic just outside our pack border to house Lexi while she's here. Charlie liaised with the medical staff to ensure they would have everything we needed. We couldn't risk bringing her onto pack grounds, as Alpha Xander would find out right away. He knows anything and everything to do with the pack. Until Darius becomes Alpha, all members are loyal to Alpha Xander. In their eyes, there's no reason for them not to be. They don't know what's been happening behind closed doors. They are unaware that Darius is being played like an instrument and kept in the dark about his true mate.My phone rings a few moments later, bringing me out of my thoughts."It's done." The caller says, then immediately hangs up the phone.
The Alpha’s Scorned 51. Too Late
...Darius POV...I was so confused. I had no idea what was going on. 'What the hell was he talking about our true mate?' I ask Asher, hoping that he'll be able to shed some light.'Catherine is our true mate. And she's at home. We just left her.' I say to him.'I don't know. But I want to see where he's going. I can't explain it, but I feel worried. Like something bad happened.' Asher replies.'I felt that too. But I thought I was just feeding into Ken's emotions. He seems super stressed about something. I just don't know what.' I reply.'Could it be true? Is it even possible to have a true mate, after finding our mate?' I ask as doubt begins to creep into my mind.It was something that I had often wondered about. Since I never felt that connection that everyone talks about when they have their mate. Even the way I look at Catherine. It's not the way that Kenji looks at Genesis. The fact alone that I was fine being away from her for years at a time should be a red flag. I never even c
The Alpha’s Scorned 52. Anguish
When I wake up, everything's silent. A complicated mixture of Sandalwood, Jasmine, and vanilla fill my nostrils, making me purr. I look around to realize that I had fallen unconscious on the floor. When I stand up, my eyes grew wide as realization falls over me. I remember everything. "WYNTER!" I shout, shaking her. "NO! This can't be happening! I just got you back!" I shout at her, shaking her body."This is all your fault!" Kenji says, storming back into the room."What are you talking about?" I ask."She's your true mate! And you marked and mated someone else, while being mated to her! That's a pain no one should ever have to endure."I look back down at Wynter's lifeless body."I didn't know." I say, on the brink of tears."That doesn't matter. You should've kept it in your pants. I know you felt something was off with Catherine. But you never once doubted her!" He yells at me again.I understand why he's so upset, he just lost his Luna. So I won't do anything about his insubord
The Alpha’s Scorned 53. New Revelations
I feel a slight tap along my thigh, waking me up from a solemn slumber. I didn't realize that I had drifted off until I had woken up. I lean on my elbow, looking down at her. I don't know how long it's been since I've been here, but either way, I can't bring myself to leave her.My instincts are yelling at me to kiss her once more. So I do just that. This time, her lips are no longer cool to the touch; rather, they're a bit warm. I turn my head to the side, leaning away from her slightly. I stare into her beautiful eyes, which is when I realize they're staring back at me."Wynter?" I call out. Shaking her slightly."D-Darius?" She says, confused.My eyes grow wide upon hearing my name from her beautiful mouth."WYNTER!" I call out to her, pulling her tight to me."I'M SO SORRY!" I say to her."I-it's n-not your f-fault." She coughs out."It is! I Should've been there! I should've protected you! I never should've believed Catherine!" I state.She weakly raises her hand and places it on
The Alpha’s Scorned 54. Aftermath
...Darius POV...I was so frustrated. I didn't even know what to do or where to go. The moment I left Wynter's room, I ran outside and changed into my wolf form. I didn't care about my clothes and rather ran deep into the forest. Both Asher and I were on edge. It felt like we singlehandedly betrayed our mate. I know she says it's not my fault. But that doesn't stop me from blaming myself. I was weak. I didn't protect her. I should've tried harder. I should've...I cut myself off as I slump down onto the forest floor. I change out of my wolf form and begin to chuck rocks over the cliff. I'm furious. The past twelve hours begin to swarm my mind. I can't believe I marked and mated another wolf that wasn't my mate. I've waited for years for my mate. Then when I find her, I find out that Catherine isn't my true mate. Catherine had somehow manipulated me into believing that she was my mate. Which makes me wonder. 'How did she get away with it? How did she manage to make me believe that sh
