Chapter 4

Penulis: Eirlys
I was dragged roughly out of bed from a dead sleep by a massive force.

Smash. My head hit the floor hard.

A wave of blinding pain washed over me, my vision went black, and my ears rang.

"Stop playing dead. Get up!" Wyatt's icy voice rang out from above me.

He grabbed me by the hair and yanked me up.

"We're going to the healer. You are going to kneel by Stella's bed and apologize!" His eyes were filled with such violent rage, it looked like he wanted to tear me apart.

Enduring the excruciating pain in my scalp, I stared back at him coldly.

"I didn't poison her, and I am not kneeling."

Smack! Wyatt slapped me violently.

He used his full Alpha strength. The corner of my mouth instantly split, and blood trickled down my chin.

"Still acting tough?" Wyatt flashed a cruel, sadistic smile. "Good. Take her!"

Two guards rushed in, dragging me out like a dead dog.

The car sped through the night.

When I was thrown out of the car and saw where we were, my heart stopped.

It was the small cabin my grandmother had left me.

It was the only place in this cold, cruel world where I still felt warm.

Wyatt kicked open the old wooden door and strode in.

"Smash it all!" he ordered.

The guards swung iron crowbars, violently destroying everything.

Grandma's favorite rocking chair was splintered, the old piano I grew up playing was smashed to pieces, and all the picture frames holding my precious memories were stomped into shards of glass.

"Stop! Wyatt, you're crazy!" I fought desperately but was pinned into the mud by the guards.

"I'll ask you one last time. Kneel, or not?" Wyatt looked down at me like a tyrant.

Gritting my teeth, I glared up at him. "Never."

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Wyatt's eyes.

"Light it up. Burn it to the ground."

"No!" I completely broke down.

Seeing the flames quickly climb up the curtains, all my defenses crumbled. I didn't care about my dignity anymore.

"Please!" I fell to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "Please don't do this! I'm begging you!"

He looked down at me. "Apologize to Stella."

"I apologize!" I screamed hysterically. "I'll apologize for everything! Just please, don't hurt her cabin!"

"Then say it."

"I'm sorry!" I shrieked. "I'm sorry I poisoned Stella! I'm sorry for everything! Please, Wyatt, please don't do this!"

He stared at me for a long time.

"Put the fire out!" I screamed. "Please put it out!"

Wyatt was about to say something when a guard ran up in a panic.

"Alpha! The healer called. Miss Stella says she's dizzy and doesn't feel well!"

Wyatt's face drastically changed, panic written all over his features.

Without giving me another glance, he turned and left, taking all the guards with him. "Back to the pack hospital."

Fanned by the wind, the fire roared out of control, mercilessly swallowing the entire cabin.

The night wind howled. The surroundings were terrifyingly silent, save for the crackling of burning wood.

I sat slumped in the mud, helpless, watching the house burn to ash.

When the fire finally died out, dawn was breaking.

Dragging my heavy body, I knelt on the scorched floorboards and trembling, picked up a piece of warped, melted metal.

It was Grandma's favorite pocket watch.

Now, along with my final emotional ties to this family and to Wyatt, it was completely broken.

My tears had run dry. Only cold, dead ashes remained in my heart.

I pulled out my phone, the faint glow illuminating my emotionless face.

I opened Dominic's text thread.

"I accept your terms."

Dominic replied instantly: Tomorrow night, I'll come pick you up. Be ready.

You're doing so well," Dominic's voice trembled with heartache.He knelt by the bed, kissing my forehead over and over. Even though I had scratched deep, bleeding marks into the back of his hand, he didn't flinch. He just released his soothing Alpha pheromones, wrapping me in a warm blanket of comfort to help me endure the long labor.A loud, sharp cry finally shattered the tense air in the delivery room."It's an incredibly strong little wolf pup! Congratulations, Alpha! Congratulations, Luna!"I looked weakly at that flushed little face, tears streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks.This time, I didn't lose my pup. He had come to me, warm, alive, and perfect.Dominic carefully took him. The ruthless apex predator of the business world and the pack lands actually had red eyes.He gently kiss
