Betrayed, Abused, and Abandoned. Her Husband must face the consequences now that her Saviour's Beast is out for blood. * * * Samantha Covington has become collateral damage to her husband Richard’s self-destruction, leaving her a shell of her former self; her once vivid spirit suffocated. When Daniel Sanford, a powerful and enigmatic Alpha, enters her life, he sees the wounds her husband inflicts, igniting a fiercely protective instinct within him. Daniel becomes Samantha’s lifeline, his sure and steady presence the anchor she needs to rise from the depths of despair. But Daniel's secrets may break her. Now she is caught between the man who sees her worth and a husband who strips it away. The hidden threads connecting her two worlds become increasingly tighter, and she must untangle the hidden lies to protect her heart and secure her freedom.

Chapter One

She was sitting quietly, exhausted but tense in the dark living room. The tv was off and the room was quiet, somber and still to fit her mood. The small lamp next to her emitted a soft glow, but the subdued light did little to ease her oncoming headache. She glanced at the clock yet again, its thundering ticks matching the knocking in her head. Eleven thirty-two. She scolded herself for hoping he would be home by now. But why would today be any different? The past three months had gone by the same way in one big blur of loneliness.Her glass of Malbec was just over halfway gone. The more she drank, the less patience remained. She tightened her fingers around the cool globe and opened her mouth, letting the warm liquid roll in, savoring the tannins coating her tongue before she swallowed it down.Come on, do your job, she prayed to the wine. She inhaled its earthy, plum aroma like incensed smoke at an altar. Hopefully she’ll get some kind of sleep tonight. In the stillness of her neve...

Chapter Two
Richard continued viciously pulling back, increasing the tension on her hair.“I provide for this house,” Richard ranted, spittle flying into her face. “Me. You have no right to question where I’ve been or what time I come home. You will stop harassing me, you ungrateful bitch. You don't know how good you have it!” He yanked back harder and tears flooded her eyes and a small cry escaped her. Her heart hammered and her breath seized, and for the first time in her life, she was truly scared.He held her there for a few extra moments until she whimpered and tried to nod, then he pushed her away from him and she collapsed onto the floor.“You know,” he said as he crossed back to the hallway and his face slipped back on a mask of civility as smoothly as he slipped his jacket on. “I can’t look at you or deal with your shit tonight.” He roughly grabbed his keys from the bowl, and without another word or glance back, walked out the door.She expected to hear the door closing in an echoing thu

Chapter Three
After the wedding, Richard convinced her that he needed her with him for dinners and functions to socialize with current and prospective clients. It began to feel like their marriage was on display as a model for financial success and happiness, the clients appreciating the stability a happily married couple exuded.Richard began having Samantha schedule, organize and set up the meetings and events and before long, brought her on as an Event Specialist for the company. It didn't exactly pertain to her degree, but it was fairly similar and allowed her to express her creativity, so she didn't mind too much, even though she could have been making much more on her own. It left her with a decent salary and she was able to tailor her schedule to fit around Richard’s, maximizing their time together. It seemed like the perfect arrangement.She doesn't know when the distance between them started. After the first three years of being so in sync and tuned to each other, a slow descent into a sta

Chapter Four
"Daniel," the sandy-haired man called out as he entered the brightly lit office without knocking. He handed a few files to the dark-eyed man behind the massive, well-polished, mahogany desk that left faint traces of citrus in the air."Lucas," Daniel acknowledged. "What are we looking at?""The top folder are the main agents," Lucas says as he took a seat and leaned back, crossing his legs and putting his hands behind his head. Daniel may be the big dog, but they had been friends since childhood. "The second is the list to let go."Daniel scanned each folder briefly, starting with the second one. Fifteen employees, most of them in secretarial or data entry positions. They wouldn't need this many with the new systems he was installing."These are fine. Pick the five strongest people, if they're worth a damn, they should be able to handle the workload of the whole fifteen. Make sure the ones being let go get a decent severance and a ninety day stipend.""Ninety days?" Lucas coughed."Ye

Chapter Five
Samantha examined her face in the mirror. Her left eye was bruised and her face was swollen. She covered it the best she could with makeup and then, unsatisfied and exasperated, snagged the largest pair of sunglasses she owned. She eyed a scarf hanging on the wall then dismissed it, afraid that in the effort of trying not to draw attention to herself, she would inadvertently draw even more.Richard never came back home last night. No call, no text, no apology, just silence. A pit had settled in her stomach from his absence, but she was also relieved because she didn't want to see him right now. She was afraid to ask him to leave, unsure how he would react.It left her feeling restless and fighting the need to get out of here against the urge to curl into a miserable ball and disappear. Thoughts of going to sleep and never waking up teased the peripheral of her consciousness, but she refused to let them settle.Unsure where to go, after driving aimlessly for almost an hour, she found h

Chapter Six
Daniel's nostrils flared. He had felt something tickling his consciousness, off and on. It was the feeling he has when he is being watched, a feeling that hinted of danger, but each time it came today, it was brief.This feeling was frustratingly normal any time he came to a large city such as this one, which was one of the main reasons he hated to do it. It left him feeling exposed and always on alert, never able to relax or let down his guard.He had a brief meeting over lunch with Lucas and Thomas, his CFO. Thomas was just as thrilled as Lucas about the ninety day stipend for terminated employees, but Daniel had already factored it into the cost of acquiring Elevated Financials. He showed them where he negotiated it towards the price of taking over. In fact, he expected to lose more people from the rip so as for right now, they were actually still on the black side of projected expenses.He understood numbers and math, but they absolutely bored him. He knew Lucas was the same way,

Chapter Seven
You need to go to her right now, the demon urged.No, Daniel argued. That will scare her.Yes. She is already scared, it insisted. She's hurt and I will kill whoever did it.That's not how it works, Daniel groaned. You know this. I thought we tempered your bloodlust a long time ago.YOU tempered the bloodlust. Daniel had an image of jaws snapping, running red with blood, flash through his mind, followed by a wolfish grin. I didn't necessarily agree to it.Daniel began to sweat with the effort of sitting in his chair and quarreling with the demon. He picked up his phone and pretended to scroll so he wouldn't cause a scene; muttering to himself while staring at nothing like a mad man.Enough! Daniel ordered sternly and heard a growl in response. She is timid, and I'm going to bet it was a man, probably her husband, that did that to her. Didn’t you see the ring? It means she's already taken and she's not going to appreciate some strange, random man walking up to her. What would I say? Hi

Chapter Eight
Daniel shifted in his chair. Killing was necessary sometimes, the werewolves were no strangers to death. But killing innocent families, especially children, was inexcusable. Any rogue wolf guilty of killing the innocent was hunted down and dispatched.They were all human, once. Every werewolf in existence had been turned by another through virtue or malfeasance throughout the years. Rogue wolves on killing sprees could create unrepairable chaos like they did for centuries in Europe during the Renaissance and Reformation. Alphas were responsible for keeping their packs in line and those that couldn't were dealt with by another, higher power."That is a very bold accusation, Ms. Donna," Daniel said carefully. He didn't want to call her a liar, but there was no way the Blue Ridge Alpha would have let something like that happen without putting down the rogue and giving reparations to the existing family.Donna drew herself up and was ready to unleash her temper on Daniel, but Lucas chose

Chapter Nine
Daniel sat quietly as he processed Donna's story. Lucas brought her the tea and sank back down in the chair he claimed earlier. Henry was looking down at his hands and Daniel could smell sadness, anger and despair as it rolled off of Henry and narrowed down to one emotion. Hate. He shook his head. Poor kid."First things first. Henry, you will become a part of my pack. You will accept me, listen and obey me as your Alpha. I will teach you to control, live, and thrive with your wolf."Henry looked up at Daniel. Uncertainty and hope began to dawn on his face."Sir? How can I?" he whispered. “I lost my family, my home. I’m a monster! I’m the same as that thing that destroyed my life! I want to kill myself, and I can’t even do that!” He sobbed and Donna's emotions overtook her as well, his pain adding to her own, causing her to quiver next to him as she hugged him tightly."You'll do no such thing," Daniel reinforced softly. "We are not monsters. Sometimes, there are bad things out there

Chapter Ten
Samantha was embarrassed she was caught staring at the man. She didn't know how long it lasted. He could have been dangerous with that acute predatory look in his eyes that seemed to stop time and make the world around her disappear, but the steadiness of his gaze, which should have daunted her, felt like the first solid thing she'd seen since her life began falling apart.The feeling he was seeing the things she was trying to hide was unnerving, so when his attention shifted and released its hold on her, she let her hair fall in front of her face, an effective curtain to shield her. She made it a point not to look his way again, but it was like she could feel his high energy and presence. It wasn't oppressive. It felt as if it was sunshine, but if the light had weight, a soft pressure against her skin.After he seemed to dive back into work, she began to relax again. The sun on her face after the meal and wine was heavenly and soon she forgot about her faux pas. Unfortunately, she sh
