Abby's POV

Something in me had shifted since Hayden left this morning with half-formed words stuck in his throat. Not anger, not guilt anymore, just something heavier. Something that clawed at my chest and left a dull ache behind my eyes.

He… wanted to reject me? Seriously?

A bitter laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it. Yeah. That’s all I’d ever meant to him. What else could I expect from a ruthless Alpha? Once a soldier, always a soldier.

He hadn’t even given me a chance to speak, to explain, to defend myself. He had gone straight to deciding my fate.

I dragged my fingers through my hair until my scalp burned, I clipped it, unclipped it again, as if the repetitive motion could untangle the mess in my head.

My chest twisted, knotting into something close to nausea. I felt awful. Utterly, completely awful, but if I didn’t speak, if I didn’t try… I knew I’d feel even worse later.

“Abby, this is still a flimsy excuse,” I hissed at myself. My hands dug into my hair,

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    I’m Fucked

    Hayden's POV For a split second, everything in me went cold when the scent hit my nose.Asher’s blood smelled like… mine.My fingers tightened around the bouquet as Derek’s words echoed in my head for what felt like the hundredth time. ‘Abby’s kids are yours.’They didn’t smell like my pups…but the blood. That scent was unmistakable. Impossible, unless—I paused.Ruby. She was a witch. She could have helped mask their scents.I mindlinked Alex sharply, my tone clipped and urgent. ‘Don’t forget what I asked you to find out about Abby’s twins. Asher’s blood smells like mine.”Alex stiffened and acknowledged through the mindlink.“Ruby… do something,” Abby cried, still clutching Jane by the collar, her hands shaking—fury and panic tangled together.Ruby shook her head, her expression strained. “I’m sorry, Abby. He’s too young. Healing magic is dangerous on children. I can’t risk it.”“Abby,” I said, stepping closer, “we need to take him to the hospital. He’s bleeding.”I’d already said

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Only Thing That Mattered

    Abby’s POV I froze the moment my eyes locked with Hayden’s piercing blue ones.The door opened again, and Alex stepped in behind him, quiet and uncertain, like a man who didn’t know where he belonged anymore.Before I could react, Ruby moved. She stepped forward and planted herself firmly in front of them, her back to me, facing Hayden, and deliberately ignoring Alex as if he didn’t exist.I would be lying if I said I didn’t know the mate Ruby had mentioned before was Alex.I wasn’t slow-witted. The last time Alex, Brian and Hayden had shown up at my restaurant, I remembered clearly how Ruby had smiled when I walked in, leaned close, and whispered that he was the one. But the shock of seeing Hayden that day had shattered everything else.After that, I never brought it up again. Ruby didn’t either. I knew she was holding back for my sake, especially after realizing Alex was Hayden’s friend. She didn’t want to make things messier than they already were. Still, I couldn’t deprive her of

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Seeing Her Again

    Hayden’s POV The meeting with the elders wasn’t going the way I wanted, but it was fair. They insisted on a proper investigation before any punishment could be decided. I understood their reasoning. Valentina was the mother of the pack’s heir, and there were customary rules meant to protect the heir’s future authority.“Fine,” I said at last, my gaze fixed on the elders seated before me. “But she remains in the dungeon until the investigation is completed.”“I don’t think that would be appropriate…” Elder Regan began.“Elder Regan,” I growled, slamming my fist against the table.The room fell silent.“If you insist on an investigation,” I continued, my voice carrying my full Alpha aura, “then she is not leaving the dungeon. That is my final word.”I rose from my seat before anyone could object and walked out of the meeting, Alex following silently behind me.When I got back to the house, Hayes’s nanny met me on the way. “Alpha, Hayes has refused to eat.”I arched a brow at her. “Re

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Not Above Justice

    Hayden's POV “What?!” I frowned, struggling to process her words. That made no sense. Maggie’s daughter had confirmed Abby pushed Marbel off the stairs. Abby knew that, that was why she fled. The maid’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. “Miss Abby pushed her, but she didn’t die then. It was Miss Valentina… she pressed a white handkerchief over Miss Marbel’s nose until she suffocated.”My blood ran cold. I stepped closer and grabbed the girl’s clothes, lifting her off the floor. “Why?” I ground out through clenched teeth. “Why are you only telling me this now?”“I’m sorry, Alpha… I was afraid,” the girl whispered.My head went haywire. “Afraid? Afraid of saying the truth?” I dropped her gently, seeing she was already choking back tears. “Did I ever mistreat you? Or did I ever punish anyone without cause?” I snarled.“No, Alpha…” she trembled.“Then why? Why didn’t you speak up and let everyone believe Abby killed her?”She sobbed silently. Then Maggie’s voice came softly, cau

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Mask Slips

    Hayden’s POV Valentina flashed a sickeningly sweet smile, her face still damp from the fake tears she shed. “I—I was on a call…with a friend.”I stared at her, wondering if she truly thought I was that stupid. Had she forgotten I was an Alpha? I could hear and smell things far beyond this range. If she had been on a call, I would have heard it. But she hadn’t been.“Really?” I said coolly.“Yes. I have no reason to lie to you.” Her expression remained perfectly composed, practiced.I kept my eyes on her, ignoring the way she blushed under my gaze. My jaw flexed as I studied the woman behind the fake composure.Derek’s mockery words echoed in my head, about Valentina tormenting Abby right under my nose while I did nothing. Had I truly been so careless? So blind? That something like that could happen in my own house? But…Valentina wouldn’t dare, not when she knew I would never choose her. The only reason she had stayed in my pack then was the child between us. And she knew it.Still…

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Forty-Three Seconds

    Hayden's POV(Five days ago)“Abby,” I called, walking toward where I knew she was hiding. “Gotcha!”I caught her and pulled her into my arms, spinning her around as laughter spilled from both of us.“I don’t ever want to lose you again,” I murmured, pressing a soft kiss to her nose.Giggling voices broke through the moment. I turned to see Amy and Asher racing through the house, their laughter filling the air, and a smaller baby crawling after them.My chest fluttered with warmth.I turned back to Abby, but she was gone.“Abby?” I called, smiling. “Are you hiding again, darling?”Silence.“Abby?”A cold fear slid down my spine. “Abby!”My eyes jerked open to blinding lights and blurred figures hovering above me.“Alpha?” Lucius’s voice cut through the haze.My head throbbed as I tried to focus.Where am I?Then memory slammed into me. Derek’s trap.Chains. And how Abby saved me.I tried to sit up, but a sharp agony ripped through my torso, slamming me back onto the bed.“Argh!” I gro
