บททั้งหมดของ I Was Forsaken: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

I fell into a daze with the phone still in my hand, listening to the busy tone.Daniel and I had known each other for a long time. In all the years I had known him, he had never been close to any other woman.Could it be that he really was acting out of a sense of duty toward Laura and not because they were somehow involved with each other?But over the past year, Daniel's work phone had rung time and time again because of Laura. And when that happened, he would even throw on his clothes and rush out in the middle of the night without a second thought."Daniel, my baby kicked me again.""Daniel, I think the pup is coming."Even on freezing, snowy nights, Daniel wouldn't hesitate to grab his coat and go to her.And the moment I showed the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, his face would become stern as he declared righteously, "Laura is an Omega, and she doesn't have a wolf. I can't ignore her plea for help. Besides, you're a Warrior, Bella. You should be more understanding."E

Daniel sat in the passenger seat, and Laura, unwilling to sit in the back, slid in beside him."Daniel, I'm still a little worried. Why don't you call Bella and explain that you only hung up on her because you were worried about me? She loves you, so I'm sure she'll understand."Daniel gave a nod, his face the picture of disdain. "You don't have to worry about that. Bella's just being willful. She's even run away from home, but she's done this before. She'll come back in a few days."Lowering her head, Laura began to sob softly. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you two wouldn't be fighting like this. I'm really sorry. Let me get out. I don't want you arguing because of me."She made as if to get out, but Daniel quickly stopped her.He reassured her warmly, "You've done nothing wrong, Laura. Bella's willfulness isn't anything new. I'll just explain things to her. And besides, you're pregnant. It's not safe for you to be alone."Laura bit her lip, gazing pitifully at Danie

I hovered behind Daniel and Laura, my heart aching.Our five-year relationship seemed to mean so little to him. Even if he no longer loved me, as a firefighter, he still shouldn't have stood by and done nothing. What was more, I had even been in his jurisdiction.I gazed at Daniel with disappointment. But in his eyes, there was nothing but Laura.He claimed he loved me and promised to always be good to me, yet when I was in danger, he left me to die for another woman.What hurt even more was that, even if he hadn't slept with Laura, he let her move into our home and sleep in the place that had been mine.The bed we had picked out together was now occupied by someone else.I closed my eyes in sorrow, not wanting to see them anymore.…Daniel sat on the couch, staring at our messages with a complex mix of emotions.He tried more than once to tell me about the fire, but he kept hesitating to type. In the end, he exited the chat.Our dog nuzzled against him, whining softly. He ha

After the funeral, Daniel sat before my portrait, tears sliding down his cheeks.Memories of our past together cut him like a blade.He remembered when he first became a firefighter. He had gotten hurt and separated from his unit while he was out on a call due to his inexperience and recklessness.I had taken him to the hospital and even paid his medical bills. During that time, I made sure he was well cared for until he recovered enough to be discharged. After that, he pursued me with fierce devotion.Now, because of him, I was dead.Daniel clenched his fists, overwhelmed by guilt and regret.I had once proposed to him, but he was hesitant. He wasn't sure whether his feelings for me were genuine or the result of external pressure.That was when Laura entered the picture.She was gentle, caring, and clingy. She made him feel needed in a way I didn't, as I had always been self-sufficient. It was a new feeling for him that stood out among the rest.Enthralled by the novelty, Dan
