GENEVIEVE
I was at the pack house. I had an ice pack in my free hand. I was trying to make the bruises on my face go away. My wolf had stopped healing any of the wounds I got from him. Well, she was too weak to even save my heart from killing itself because I fell in love with a man who didn't care about me. A light knock on his office door pulled my attention out of the stack of papers in front of me. “Come in!” I shouted then got back to work.
I stood up in respect when I noticed it was Quinton's father. He looked at the ice pack in my hand. I threw it on the ground and wiped my hand on my dress. “Has he started beating you as well?” My father in law asked me, concerned about me.
I could only offer him a sad smile. “It's not new. He just made sure to keep the bruises hidden before. Now he just doesn't care.” I replied, fighting my tears. It was sad how Quinton was so determined to make me his mistress.
The contract he wanted me to sign, it would only hurt me more. He wanted to have his mistress take my place, to replace me as the Luna of the pack. And he didn't want to let me go either. How sick was that?
“What does he want from you?” Father in law asked and I narrowed my head.
“I am not sure. Whatever he wants, I just can't agree to it.” I replied to him as calmly as I could. He just nodded his head then he walked away. Sighing, I got back to work.
When I got home that day, I went straight to the bedroom. After longer days of work where Quinton would dump his work on me while he did dirty work with his mistress, I mostly got home all drained and too tired to even think about dinner. And as I knew Quinton hardly spent his nights at the alpha's mansion, I could go straight to bed.
When I opened the bedroom door, I froze at the scene in front of me. In my bed, Quinton was fucking his mistress. It took me a few minutes to come to my senses. “I never thought you would stoop so low that you would bring her to our bed.” I spoke in a calmed tone as I walked into the room.
Despite the rising pain in my chest, I tried to remain calm. “This bed belongs to my Luna. You are not my Luna. But I will be glad to have you on the side if you beg for it.” I couldn't tell him in words how much he was hurting me. He was blinded by everything that his mistress was showing to him. She blinded him with her nudity.
The very next day, when I found out about his affair with that slut, he came to me with a contract to sign. The context of the contract was that I would accept my place as his mistress, give up my Luna title to Kristin and I would serve the Alpha forever. I might be weak but I was an alpha's daughter. I couldn't let him degrade me in such ways. Since then, he has been hurting me.
“Do whatever you want. I am not signing that damn contract.” I growled at him, trying to get to the closet to collect my stuff.
“Once my heir is born, your place would be nothing but the slave for my next of kin. It's a fair deal for you.” He was standing right behind me when he said those words. I whimpered when he wrapped his arms around me from behind and embraced me.
“How can you be so cruel to me after everything I have been doing just for you? Do you not see how much I love you and how much your words are hurting me?” I asked him while trying to fight my tears. I didn't want him to see me weakening in front of him. I didn't want him to get the satisfaction of getting it to break me.
He laughed at me when he heard me. He laughed at my feelings for him. He laughed and my love for him. The kind man I fell in love with, was the devil of my life. “I never loved you. I marked you because of that fucking treaty. But now that my pack is stronger than your pack, I no longer have to be afraid. I can do whatever I damn want and your father wouldn't dare to interfere.” He growled in my ear, rubbing his nose against my cheek. I knew he had his mistress pregnant a while ago. While he didn't even touch me.
I gritted my teeth, showing off my anger. But from the inside, I could barely hold up with the ache in my chest. It felt like someone was clawing my heart. “Then you must know that I am also the alpha's daughter. If I can't have you, I won't let anyone have you either.” I growled at him angrily. I was about to push him away when he grabbed me by my neck and slammed me against the wall.
His eyes were dark with anger. He was suddenly murderous. “Since you have pissed me so much right now, why not bear the consequences of your fucking actions.” He growled at me. The next thing I knew, I was being dragged to the bed. He threw me on the bed, tore my clothes off.
I was already in shock. He was merciless. He covered my mouth with his hands and pushed his length inside me. I couldn't even scream in pain. I never thought that gentle and caring man that I fell in love with, would violate me in such a way. He was such a gentleman until the treaty was signed and he brought me to his pack.
After he was done with me, I was half dead, lying on the ground. I was beaten, bleeding and humiliated. One of the omegas found me at the same spot, bleeding from my vagina. She contacted Beta Caesar. As usual, beta Caesar was the one who took me to the hospital. But it was too late. My organs had started to give up. My heart was dying. Whatever my heart had been holding onto, that hope was lost the moment he abused me. The pain of betrayal and the violation I went through were the last push to the falling wall.
I looked at Quinton with blurred vision. My tears just wouldn't stop. Even after everything he had done to me, was still doing to me, my heart craved for one last touch before I would leave. I wanted him to hold my hand and tell me that he loved me.
“She doesn't have much time, Alpha. I am sorry. I tried everything I could. But without her wolf healing her, I can't do anything to save her. I am sorry, my Alpha.” Edith informed him of my condition. I couldn't help the hope that started rising in my heart. That maybe, just maybe, his heart would melt and he would spare me an ounce of his love before I die.
I watched him nodding his head. “Leave us alone, will you?” Edith nodded her head. She bowed her head in respect before she left the ICU. My lungs had failed me already. I was breathing because of a machine.
I helplessly raised my hand. I just wanted him to hold me. As if the Moon goddess was listening, he grabbed my hand. Not just that, he laid down on the bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. Tears of joy began raining from my eyes. It was my last wish before I would finally leave this world.
But my happiness didn't last long. He mercilessly ripped the breathing tube out of my throat. Then he covered my mouth and my nose with both of his hands. “Once you are dead, I can finally be with Kristin. No one will ever ask me anything. No more answering my father. Just die and go to hell so I can be at peace.” His words cut through my heart.
In my weak state, I tried to fight him but I couldn't. I couldn't feel my lungs burning due to the lack of oxygen. “I never really hated you. And back then, I really wanted to have a relationship with you. But Kristin is just… how can I say it. She is like a goddess. It's like I can't breathe without her. I never thought I would ever hurt you. So please, forgive me. But I have to kill you to be happy.” He whispered in my ear. While he was killing me, he whispered sweet words in my ear about his mistress to hurt me more.
“Once you are gone, we can finally be together. No one will be between us. I can have my true mate by my side.” It felt like my heart was already bleeding inside my chest. I was scratching his hands because I wanted to breathe again. My eyes went to the door but it was locked.
“You should have just signed the papers. I was happy to keep you as my side woman but no… you wanted to be the Luna. How could I let you be my Luna.” With each word that he spoke, my heart broke even more. Then something broke inside me. The love in my heart for him started to slip away as my dying heart finally filled up with hatred for the man I had trusted with my life, and loved more than I had loved myself.
It was already too late. My body was shaking as I tried to free myself from his grasp. But he didn't let go at all. He remained unbothered. Instead, he wrapped his legs around mine and with his free hand, he held my hands so I would stop fighting. He was the cruelest.
My life started slipping. My ears were ringing, my limbs went numb and my vision began to go dark. “Quinton! If we ever meet in our next life, I swear upon my alpha's blood that is running in my veins, I will never trust you or love you again. Even if you beg me. My hatred for you is for eternity.” With that promise upon my blood, the darkness engulfed me f
orever. I was dead. The monitor showed a few flat lines.
