BETRAYAL AND CHAOS

I left the bakery feeling the weight of the day lifting from my shoulders. The livid pack had become my home, but it wasn't an easy life. The kids were always jumping around and demanding my attention, and I was constantly busy. But today was different. Today, I had bought groceries and was heading over to Alex's apartment to cook dinner for him.

As I entered the kitchen, I felt a sense of comfort in the familiar surroundings. I started cooking, humming to myself as I chopped vegetables and seasoned the meat. Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around me from behind, and I jumped, startled. It was Alex, and he was hugging me passionately.

"I'm really busy right now," I said, trying to focus on the pot in front of me.

"But you're always busy," he whispered in my ear, his breath hot against my skin. "Can't you take a break for just a minute?"

“But…”

"You don't need to cook," he said. "Just being with you is the sustenance I need." Before I could respond, he turned off the gas, leaving the food on the stove, and kissed me hard against the counter. I felt my heart race as he picked me up and carried me to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Alex pulled me close and kissed me deeply. His hands roamed over my body, sending shivers down my spine. Despite the passion that flowed between us, I couldn't shake the gnawing feeling of guilt. I had started dating him since Bruno was still in a coma. I had rejected Alex for a year, but he kept coming back to me, chasing me. Eventually, I had fallen in love with him and given in to him. But deep down, I knew that Bruno was still my mate, and that I was betraying him.

As Alex continued to kiss me and touch me, I felt a howl in my head. It was my wolf, telling me that Bruno was struggling. I stopped Alex and jumped down from the bed, feeling a sense of urgency. I needed to see if Bruno was finally awake after being in a coma for three years.

I rushed out of the apartment, leaving Alex behind. I felt a sense of guilt as I ran towards Bruno's hospital room. I had promised to stay by his side, but I had fallen in love with someone else. As I entered the room, I saw that Bruno was still unconscious. Tears filled my eyes as I sat by his side, holding his hand.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "I know I promised to stay by your side, but I couldn't help falling in love with someone else. I hope you can forgive me."

I sat by Bruno's side, holding his hand and praying for his recovery. I knew that my heart belonged to him, and that I would do anything to make things right.

I felt a sudden movement. Bruno's hand twitched, and then he grabbed my hand tightly. I felt a surge of hope and excitement as I saw his beautiful blue eyes slowly open. But as he looked at me, his expression changed from one of recognition to one of confusion and fear.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

"It's me, Adora," I said, my heart breaking at his confusion. "You've been in a coma for three years. You're in the hospital."

"In the hospital?" Bruno repeated, looking around the room in confusion. "Why am I in the hospital?"

"Your warriors tried to murder you," I explained, trying to keep my voice calm. "But you're going to be okay. You just need to rest and recover."

Bruno shook his head, his expression turning to one of anger. "I don't remember any warrior," he said, his voice rising. "I don't remember anything!"

I tried to calm him down, but he was beyond reason. As I struggled to keep him from hurting himself or anyone else, Alex entered the room. I felt a flash of anger as I saw him, knowing that he was the reason I had left Bruno's side.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice sharp.

Alex looked taken aback, but then he muttered something strange. "Bruno wasn't supposed to wake up now," he said, almost to himself.

"What do you mean?" I asked, my fear growing.

"No...no it’s nothing to worry about, it was just a slip of the tongue," he replied, his eyes lingering on Bruno.

"Just a slip of tongue? Do you think I'm stupid? Did you think Bruno would be in a coma forever?" I questioned, pissed. We both started arguing, and when we stopped, we suddenly realized that Bruno was no longer on the bed. We saw him approaching a small mirror on the wall of the room.

"Stop him!" I yelled, realizing what was about to happen. But it was too late. Bruno looked at his face in the mirror, and his reaction was one of horror.

 “What happened to my face?” he muttered, touching his face with his hands. “What happened to my beautiful face?” he lamented. He stuck out his claws and attacked Alex, holding him from behind with his claws on Alex’s bare neck.

“What happened to me, I deserve to know?!?” He roared.

“Call me Dawn.” He declared, his Alpha tone visible.

“Please, you have to calm down, I am your mate, everything is going to be alright, okay?” The look on his face told me that he didn’t believe a damn thing I was saying. It seemed the spell Dawn had cast on him had taken over his senses.

 “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know who I am?” he asked as he continued to attack Alex.

I felt a sense of despair wash over me. How could I fix this? How could I make Bruno believe that his wife was the one that tried to kill him?

Bruno tossed Alex to the ground, his claws still digging into the man's neck. "You're lying to me!" he roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "Everything is a lie!"

I acted quickly, knowing that I needed to stop Bruno from hurting anyone else. I looked around the room, searching for something to use as a weapon.

My eyes fell on a metal bedpan sitting on a nearby table. Without hesitation, I grabbed it and swung it at Bruno's head. The impact was hard, and I felt a jolt of pain shoot through my arm, but it was worth it to see Bruno collapse to the ground, unconscious.

I rushed to Bruno's side, checking his pulse and breathing. He was still alive, but I knew that we needed to get him out of the hospital before anyone else got hurt.
