Darkest Times

“I fell for every lie you told me, Lena; you should be proud of yourself; you’ve managed to deceive me, Alpha Damien; that’s a stunt not everyone could pull.” “What do you mean?” “So, you are going to play innocent again?” He asked, then chuckled. It was humorless. “This time I won’t be the fool; I won’t fall for that innocence the second time, Lena, and I promise you, I’ll make you pay and have fun while I am at it.” ******* Lena was a weak wolf, a slap in the face of her parents. Being the daughter of Alpha and Luna, they expected more, and for that reason she was deemed useless. When her father finds an opportunity to marry her off to one of the most powerful Alphas in the world to settle pack debts and also gain an alliance, he will do anything in his power to make it work. Lena was never supposed to fall in love with Alpha Damien; he was the cruel, emotionless Alpha, unable to feel, yet she fell for him. No one could make her feel the way he did. She was the Alpha’s little obsession, and he always got what he wanted. She knew it would only be a matter of time, and his drive would die. She had to accept the fact that he would never love her, but she wanted more, more than he was willing to give, more than he was capable of giving. Would that lead to her destruction? What happens when secrets are revealed and innocent Lena is tainted by the darkness of the world she has been tossed into?

The explosion wiped out my parents—and their company. All I had left was some insurance cash and a pile of patents nobody cared about. I begged their old partners to back me. Crickets. Then Alex Ross strolled in, played the hero no one asked for, and proposed. Five years deep into our marriage, after my 99th FDA rejection, I finally cracked. I was in the garage when I heard his phone on speaker. Mark's voice came through: "Dude, you're still handing Lily Emma's blueprints before she even files? How many times has she flopped now? Girl's relentless, huh?" Alex? Straight-up ice. "Ninety-nine. She'll quit soon." "You're really tanking your wife to boost Lily's brand? Worth it?" "Lily's launching her new product tomorrow at the Boston Medical Summit. Patent number 100. Watching her blow up from nothing... makes me proud." "But it's all Emma's stuff. Your dad made you marry her for her brain, didn't he?" "Don't bring up my father." His voice turned sharp. "He forced me to dump Lily. I just played along." I sank into the driver's seat, frozen. I wasn't a partner. Just a pawn—revenge bait for his dad and backup fuel for his ex.

My fated mate, Alpha Kaelen, rejected me seven times. The first time we bonded, he whispered against my ear, his breath hot. “From now on, my soul sings only for you.” But then his first love, the Omega Seraphina, came back for him. And just like that, he rejected me. They shared a mate’s mark from their past. It left her hopelessly addicted to his scent. “I’m sorry,” he’d said. “I have to be with Seraphina. The scent addiction is destroying her. She can’t even shift. Her wolf is weakening.” The first time he rejected me, I slashed a silver dagger across my wrist. I let the blood flow, hoping the pain would make him look at me. It worked. Kaelen was horrified. He left Seraphina for a moment and rushed to my side, holding me, comforting me. The third time, I disguised myself as an ordinary pack wolf. I got an internship at his pack headquarters, just to breathe in the air he breathed. But this time, he looked right through me, as if we were strangers. By the sixth rejection, I had learned how to calmly erase my scent from his suite. I left without a sound. My screams. My surrender. My begging. And what I got in return? Every time he was with her, the full moon would rise, and he’d call me back. Just to play the same sick game all over again. Until now. I heard Seraphina was coming back again. So I handed him the ceremonial dagger myself. He set the date for my return, just like always. He had no idea. This time, I'm the one severing the bond for good. And I am never coming back.

Unable to hold back any longer, I finally decide to confront her. "If his condition never improves, does that mean you'll never marry me? Tell me, what do I even mean to you?" Paisley's temper ignites, and she snaps back at me without a second thought. "I promised to take care of him for the rest of my life! Can't you stop being so selfish? "Besides, we've been together for seven years. What does it matter if we're not legally married?"
