A punishment he watched from behind barred doors as I bled for choosing him. I thought I could love him forever and ever. But tonight changed everything. Ten years later, I’m going back.

I laughed under my breath, an ugly, bitter sound that made the driver glance back at me. He didn’t say a thing this time and I simply didn’t care. My thoughts were rabid enough, clawing, spinning like broken machinery. Frankly speaking, neither of them owed me undying loyalty and devotion. I’ve long realized that in this life, betrayal was eminent and it’s not like I was new to its cold presence. For goodness sake! I was literally sold to an auction by my own father. I know what betrayal looks like, I know what it feels like. Heck! I know what it tastes like.

the Alpha disclosed. “How could you?” Tala, with a quivering voice, questioned him. Knowing the gravity of his betrayal, I warned him. "This is your last day on Earth." Bardulf avoided our gazes, guilt evident. "What's your endgame?" Tala pressed. "I'd take a bullet for you, but I didn't anticipate it would come from you," I muttered to Bardulf, his betrayal piercing my heart. "You betrayed me first," he retorted, voice trembling.
