The Alpha’s Scorned 78. Frenzy
...Wynter POV...When I woke up, I felt completely at ease. I wasn't sure where I was or how I even got here, but I felt safe. Something I hadn't felt for a really long time. I turned around to see that I was laying in Darius' embrace. He held me close to his chest as he slept. He looked so at peace that I didn't want to disturb him.I leaned my head against his chest, and just enjoyed this moment. I listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat and let his scent wash over me. I could hear Caedance purr in my mind from his smell. It was sheer bliss. A feeling I wish would never end.Slowly, Darius began to stir. I reached up, and placed my hand along his cheek, turning his gaze to meet my own. Neither of us said anything, rather we just let ourselves enjoy the moment.After a few moments, Darius leaned his head down, to place a gentle kiss on my lips. He pecked my lips several times until I felt my urge for him become overwhelming. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him clo
The Alpha’s Scorned 79. Inner Strength
...Darius POV...I could tell that Wynter was in the midst of a panic attack. I had tried to calm her down by letting her know we were safe, but it was like her mind couldn't comprehend what I was saying to her, which is when I realized that I needed to act fast. If I didn't do something now, then she may pass out from the stress. Her mind was trying to put up a guard. It was trying to warn her of danger, but little did she know she was actually safe. I knew a bit about panic attacks, which is why I did the only thing I could think of. I launched myself at her and kissed her with every fibre of my being. I could feel my need for her coming out in this kiss. The kiss was unlike any others we've shared. It was filled with urgency and desperation. At first, she didn't respond to my kiss. But once she did, I knew she'd be ok. Her response showed that her mind had no idea what to do with how I reacted and instead released its hold over her. I leaned away from her shortly after. I looked i
The Alpha’s Scorned 80. Agony
...Wynter POV...I could feel my mind spinning from all the new information. Is everything he said true? Did I really do that? Did I really kill all those people? Perhaps Alpha Xander was right all along. I am the monster. Darius had wrapped his arm firmly around me, but I couldn't stay there any longer. It felt like the room was closing in on me. I couldn't breathe, but worst of all. It felt like all of this was my fault. Before Darius could figure out what was happening, I stood up and ran from his embrace. I ran out of the room and into the hall. Both Darius and Kenji were quick on my heels, which only encouraged me to go faster. I could hear alarms going off, but I paid no attention to it. I needed to find my way out of here. I continued to run down the halls, searching for any sign of an exit. Finally, a stairway came into view. I entered the stairway and jumped down the middle, landing on my feet. I had crouched down just before hitting the ground and jumped up and continued to
The Alpha’s Scorned 81. No Turning Back
...Darius POV...The moment Kenji told us that she had killed the men that had taken her, I knew something was going to happen. I just wasn't prepared for what. When I felt Wynter pull away from me, I knew I had to try to find a way to stop her. Without knowing what she was thinking, I had a feeling I knew what was running through her mind. She had just connected the dots between the prophecy and her role within it. Up until now, none of us truly believed in the prophecy. While I'm not saying I do now, I also can't say that it's not a possibility.What she did back there only proves that she really does have the ability to become the monster that my dad believes her to be. The one thing running through my mind on repeat is that what had happened was a result of her body trying to protect her. Kenji specifically said that it was self-defence. She had truly been pushed far beyond her limits. To the point that she's only living right now because of her tribrid nature. If she was just a w
The Alpha’s Scorned 82. Lover's Fury
By the time I managed to find Wynter, our connection had been completely lost. I found her passed out on the ground, holding her neck. I moved her hand aside to see why she was holding her neck, which is when I saw what had happened. My mark had completely disappeared as if it never existed. The sparks I normally got when touching her had disappeared as well. I couldn't think of it anymore. I needed to get her back, and hopefully, we could find something that could help us. I've never heard of anyone going through this process, so I wasn't sure if it could even be fixed. But for now, I had to focus on getting her back safely. I switched into my human form and carefully placed her on my back. I then ran through the forest heading back the way we'd come.'Dare?' I heard Kenji mindlink me.I was so heartbroken that I didn't want to answer. I was on the brink of a mental breakdown myself. Being an Alpha means I feel things much stronger than a normal wolf. So strong emotions like love an
The Alpha’s Scorned 83. Zombie
...Wynter POV...This was becoming a horrible deja vu. I hated how often I was finding myself waking up in foreign locations. Unlike the other times I had woken up, I felt extremely lost. As if I had somehow lost a part of myself.When I sat up, I saw Kenji and two others staring back at me."What's going on? Where's Darius? Who are these people?" I ask Kenji.Instead of answering my question, the unknown man makes his way towards me."Have you ever heard of Lover's Fury?" He asks.I search my mind. However, I'm drawing a blank."No. What is it?" The man solemnly nods his head, then turns towards the others. I look back at Kenji, wanting to know what's going on."Kenji? What's going on? Where's Darius?" I ask again, waiting for an answer.However, just like before, everyone stays silent. I've never seen Kenji act like this before. He's normally very vibrant and chatty. So to see him so silent makes me worried. I get out of bed and am surprised when no one attempts to stop me. I slo
The Alpha’s Scorned 84. Lover's Confession
I had lost track of time. It felt like months, maybe even years, had gone by in the time I had been out here. It may have only been a few minutes, but each second that Darius was away from me felt like an eternity without him.I had been here for so long that I had become numb to my surroundings. "Wynter? What are you doing here?"I don't know who's calling me, but I pay them no attention.I feel someone walk up to me. They kneel behind me, touching me softly. I can feel subtle sparks, but not like when Darius used to touch me, which is why I decided to ignore them further. Perhaps they'll just go away if I ignore them.Whoever it is, begins to run their hand through my hair. A gesture that Darius used to do. Just the thought brings me to tears."Why are you crying, Farfalla?"I turn my head up at that one. Only one person has ever called me Farfalla."Darius?" I ask, turning around, suddenly hopeful."Yes, Farfalla, it's me.""You're really here?" I ask, not sure whether I can belie
The Alpha’s Scorned 85. Toll Bridge
Darius pulls me close to him, enveloping me in his arms. I missed this feeling—the feeling of peace and tranquillity. There's truly no better feeling than being in his arms. He stands there, holding me close. What just happened took a massive toll on both of us. Darius hasn't said anything about it, but I can tell he's still hurt from what happened. Even though I had no intention of doing that to him, I know he'll never forget what happened. It will forever leave a scar on him. I'm thankful to the Moon Goddess that she granted us a second chance. However, I'll never allow myself to forget what I did to him, to us. I broke away from him after a few minutes."Why don't you head back? I'll be there shortly."Darius twists his head slightly to look at me. I can tell he's searching my thoughts, wondering what's running through my mind, but I put up my block, preventing him from doing so."What's running through that beautiful mind of yours?" He asks after not being able to find out."It's
