~Lexa’s POV~

I spent all night running. Fear eating me up as her words took a toll on me. “He killed your baby since you destroyed his trust” her words were already engraved in the deepest part of my heart.

I wanted to understand it all but every time I tried to, it only became more confusing. My mate was brutal, non forgiving and all but never to me.

Not once since we became mates

What changed?

There had to be no way he would say that.

But also no way Annika would lie to me about that. She liked us together and would only protect us. She wasn’t even capable of lying.

‘This wasn't true’ was what I tried to tell myself repeatedly, convincing my wolf that we would wake up the next morning and it’ll all be a nightmare.

A horrible nightmare where I lost everyone I held dear to myself in one night. I could feel my bones weaken as each step I took came with agony and pain.

I kept moving despite my burning chest, it felt so hot and tight. My feet bleeding but my heart bled more

‘Antrix help! It hurts so bad’ I clutched my chest, calling out to my wolf who was quiet like she was in deep shock.

We couldn’t shift and she felt so distant from me for the first time ever.

Her silence robbed me of the comfort I needed.

She was in shock and disbelief, her mind unable to handle or process everything that just happened.

What exactly were we supposed to focus on? The loss of our pup or the betrayal of a mate?

Just make it all disappear. I didn’t want to think, didn’t want to feel anything. Didn’t want to believe this was in any way real

I wanted to escape this.

I wanted the nightmare to be over

I can’t take it anymore, it’s painful.

He betrayed me, he didn’t value the bond we shared.

I’m tired, I don’t want to remember anything again…

*

The last thing I remembered was my heart aching real bad before passing out.

But now...

I could hear crying.

My baby.

My baby was crying. My baby was calling for me!

I opened my eyes, ready to move and carry my child but instead, I was met by a middle-aged woman staring at me curiously, reaching out to touch my forehead.

"Stay away!" I slapped her hand away, growling at her with my last energy and scrambled backward, slipping into the small river behind me.

She stared at me in shock like I was some sort of alien.

I looked around quickly.

I was far from my pack.

I had definitely crossed into another territory which meant I was in danger.

"Are you okay?" the woman asked, her voice soft and calm.

She looked like she wanted to help me.

She took a step forward, but I backed away, deeper into the water. I passed out close to a tiny river.

"No... stay away," I rasped. My voice sounded broken while I could hear my wolf groaning in pain, soaking herself in grief.

It wasn’t a nightmare like we thought it would be.

There was no waking up from this. And I hate to say it but it was all real

“I just want to help, are you okay?” Her voice was calm and still. Her movements were gentle as I watched her watch me too closely.

Like she was checking for any sign of injury.

That’s when I realized. There was no baby.

The sound I heard earlier was nothing but a cruel trick of the mind.

Tears poured down my face.

I struggled to stand, the memories of everything that happened rushing back all at once and I broke down again.

Raemon killed our child.

He did it because he thought I was cheating.

It just proved he never loved me.

I had to protect myself now.

The woman showed too much softness in her eyes, telling me that she wasn’t going to harm me.

She wasn’t just any wolf, her aura wasn’t smelling weak.

This was my chance.

I had to forget Raemon.

I had to forget everything.

So I sobbed harder and whispered, "I... I don’t know who I am." But I broke into a million pieces as the words escaped my lips.

Her eyes widened. She rushed to me, gently grabbing my arm.

Then she pulled me into a hug and I cried even harder for the choice I just made.

Raemon was known to be brutal to other packs. But if anyone here found out who I truly was, I would either be executed or even dragged back to him.

The woman patted my back gently.

"It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re safe now," she whispered, and in that moment, I felt safer than I had in a long time.

She reminded me... of my mother.

We finally pulled apart. She gave me a soft smile, blinking her kind blue eyes at me.

"Let’s get you to a healer, shall we? You’ll be fine," she said.

I just stared at her, unable to speak.

My reaction must have made her think I was just a poor unfortunate harmless rogue.

"Come on," she said, pulling me along with her and as I followed her, I realized how lucky I was to be found by her and not someone else.

If it had been a guard or worse, the Alpha, I might already be dead.

Raemon …. I’m so hating that name and don’t want to recall it ever again.

But Alpha's are never really associated with one another and so they would likely kill a stranger or at worst enslave them forever once they cross borders.

It was just a tiny rope holding them together and this is what I want to believe is luck.

I never used to believe in luck.

My life was always easy.

But now... Now, I believed in it.

And I was going to use it well.

    ~Lexa~My hope for a conversation with Xavier was short lived even when it was supposed to be an excuse to avoid Amy. “Let’s get started.” Beta Josh echoed gently round the big hall. I let out a snort, the no fun wolves have gotten here. We got to training immediately, but I and Christine just stood there a little lost. She leaned in closer “have they forgotten it’s our first time training with them?” She asked, whispering into my ears. She’s only here because according to her she can’t just let me come here all alone. We would go with that and not the obvious fact of her wanting to see Josh very often. He was like the shadow of the alpha and went almost everywhere with him. Her only chance of seeing him alone was here since the Alpha never really trained here or with them, just usual checkups and he’s gone. “Seems like. Let’s just observe from the back.” I whispered back to her. We walked slowly, allowing them to move in unison as they practiced some moves. “Where are you

  • IN BETWEEN TWO RIVAL ALPHA’S   Chapter nine

    ~Lexa~ “Come on Lexa, there should be more. You promised to have fun, remember?” She stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. Stopping me from moving forward. “You forced me to make a promise so that doesn’t count.” I gave her a stern face. Anything at all to get her off my back. But Christine doesn’t move an inch, her face beaming with the thoughts that I had something fun to tell. Just what exactly was I going to tell her? “Alpha Zane is going to be here any minute from now, you know I’m still on the line?” I muttered with a bit of maybe too much emotion. Anything at all to get her off my back. They all respect him, bowing and remaining quiet unless asked to speak. But I got lucky enough to bypass all that since I lost my memory. I also know it’s enough time to start acting along but nah … not with Alpha Zane. He doesn’t deserve my obedience. He just has a way of getting under my nerves. If that wasn’t going to work on her, I have something that definitely would.

  • IN BETWEEN TWO RIVAL ALPHA’S   Chapter eight

    ~Raemon~ “Don’t tell me to freaking calm down, the stupid fucker called her his wolf!” Furious was an understatement, I was freaking blowing up. I did all I could to hold me and my wolf down. I took a deep breath, trying my very best to hold it all in but fuck it? “He had her all these years and still had the audacity to call her his wolf right in front of me?!” I yelled out in anger, my fist kissing the wall. I couldn’t stop, I hit the wall again and again. “Alpha please stop, your hands!” Dexter called out, his voice hinting he wasn’t in support of this. “Why should I? I thought you searched everywhere for her? How come she was with him all along?” I growled, my fists needing an even harder surface. He calmed down, his voice leveled now. “We did Alpha, are you sure it’s our Luna you saw?” He looked me dead in the eye, asking a question that could get him killed. “Are you saying I can’t recognize my own mate? I freaking held her in my hands Dexter.” I found another spot

  • IN BETWEEN TWO RIVAL ALPHA’S   Chapter seven

    ~Lexa~I remained still, trying to think everything through. I don’t know what Alpha Zane was playing at but I wanted no part in it. “Are you hurt anywhere?” He spoke lightly, turning to look at me. “No, thanks for asking.”“What? You didn’t want me to come save you?” He asked, definitely picking the mockery and not the fake thanks I gave him. “Like you didn’t put me in such a situation yourself.” I let out a snort. “You’ve made it very clear that you don’t want me to train because what sort of surprise is this?” I didn't hold back and ignored the fact that I was raising my voice at him. I stared into his face, wanting to forget those eyes I was forced to look at a few minutes ago. Those huge hands on me and me stopping myself from saying what I so longed to say to that monster. “Miss Lexa, you don’t talk to our Alpha like that.” Josh cuts in, his voice stern but his eyes still focused on the road. I rolled my eyes, making sure Alpha Zane saw me clearly. His beta never liked

    ~Lexa~ I could literally hear my heart tremble. My wolf was unsettling but I had to remain still and calm. I sat there, listening to them converse like they’ve always wanted to. The disgust underneath their own voices. The monsters' very annoying gaze still on me. “You finally attended one of these? Are you going to sign up our trading contracts next?” Alpha Zane asked, laughing slowly. My mind was all over the place, was this the surprise he had for me? I asked beneath my own voice…But there was no way Alpha Zane knew anything about my past. He didn’t know or even understand all of the pain I’ve had to bottle up for years. “There wasn’t a reason to come until now.” Raemon definitely sounded okay. His voice was stern and not a hint of pain or regret. I know it’s been five years but at least he should have had a reaction if at all. “Please excuse me” I stood up, avoiding looking at anyone’s face. ‘He wasn’t supposed to be here, what’s changed?’ Anthrix tried

  • IN BETWEEN TWO RIVAL ALPHA’S   Chapter five

    ~Lexa’s POV~ “You don’t plan on harming me do you?” I gave him a murderous look. Ignoring the fact that he had been smiling all night long. And just why have we been driving for so long? “You’ll be fine since you were able to survive all these years with us.” He said smoothly, purposely making his voice sound soft. Just enough softness to spook me off. “Yea because I didn’t have to deal with your crazy ass directly..” I murmured with my eyes looking out the window. “Tell me I’m a mind reader because I’m getting points that you don’t wanna train anymore?” He faked a serious tone, waiting for me to look at him. “First, where are you taking me to? And what do you want?” I turned to look at him sharply. Let’s cut the pretense We’ve been driving for more than an hour and I just can’t think of anything nice happening with Alpha Zane by my side. “I’m not going to repeat myself again Lexa. It’s a surprise and I just need a date. Is that too much for you?” His voice didn’
