I stared at the pieces of the broken box and couldn’t believe I had destroyed it with my abilities.
”What have you done?” Lord Dickson yelled in fear and anger, returning my attention to him. ”You have two days to leave this country and return to your country, don’t make me come looking for you, and if you dare think of doing anything stupid, I’ll kill you and won’t even think about it.” With those words, I teleported and arrived in my room.
With weak feet, I walked to the bathroom and took off my shirt, which still had the blood of Mia, causing my heart to throb with pain. I took off my jeans and underwear before stepping into the shower. As the cold water slashed on my body, I couldn’t help but think of Mia and the pain she might have gone through when she got hit by the car. I realized she was in trouble, but she didn’t call me to save her. That tells how much she had grown to hate me. ”We will explain everything to her once she’s awake.” My wolf spoke weakly, causing a heavy sigh to leave my lips. I put off the shower, tied a towel around my waist, and returned to my room.
I took a shirt and sweatpants from my closet and put them on. With a frustrated sigh, I took a bottle of whiskey from the bar, opened it, and gulped a large quantity into my mouth.
My heart aches with pain, and it feels like a thousand needles are piercing through it, sending pain all over my being. As I took another gulp into my mouth, a knock came on my door, forcing a heavy sigh to leave my lips. ”Who is it?” I asked with an irritated groan.
”Good morning, Alpha. It’s Lady Golden.” She responded from the door, causing a heavy sigh to leave my lips.
I had actually forgotten about her.” Come in.” I gestured and watched the door open. She walked into the room, dressed in a short red nightgown. Her hair was let loose on her shoulders, giving her sexy vibes, but I looked away.
”Greetings.” She greeted me politely as she got to my side.
”Greetings, I need to have a word with you.” “Please sit,” I said while pointing at the couch beside me. She sat on the couch, fixing her suspicious gaze on me.
”I can’t marry you.” I went straight to the point.
”Why?, Did I do something wrong?” She asked, confused and startled. ”No, it has nothing to do with you, but it’s all me,” I grumbled and stood to my feet. With guilt, I walked away from her and stood before my room window, staring at the beauty of my pack under the fading shades of morning dawn.
”Mia is not just my step-sister; she is my mate and wife,” I announced, ”I’m sorry, but I had no intention of marrying you, Golden.” “Bringing you here was a plan to keep Mia safe, and I failed,” I said and sucked in a deep breath before turning to her. I saw the stunned look on her face and a hint of anger in her eyes.
”I apologize for leading you on, but my heart belongs to another, and right now, she is lying in the hospital fighting for her life,” I mumbled in pain as I watched Lady Golden stand on her feet. ”We will talk about this over breakfast, and if you insist I should go, then I’ll leave at noon.” With those words, she walked away while I watched with guilt in my heart. What I did was terrible; I shouldn’t have led her on, no matter what.
That she didn’t shout or curse me doesn’t mean she wasn’t in pain, but I needed to do what was right. I sat back on the couch and continued drinking. After hours of drinking myself into a stupor, I fell asleep and woke up an hour later with an intense ache. With a groan, I massaged my forehead and made a mind link to the butler. ”Tell a maid to get me a cup of black, hot coffee,” I said through mind link and ended it. I checked the time and saw it was a few minutes past 8 am, and I had to see Mia, but I would do that after the coffee. I rested my head on the headrest of the couch and closed my eyes. I tried to communicate with my wolf, but he was silent and withdrawn from me. Her condition took a big toll on him.
A few minutes later, a knock came on my door, and a servant walked in with a tray of coffee in her hands. ”Greetings.” She greeted me and placed the tray of coffee before me.” You can leave,” I said, while she bowed and left the room. With a tired sigh, I picked up the cup of coffee from the tray and took a long sip. It was hot and tasteless, just like I wanted it. I took more sips of it until I was done and kept the cup back on the table. I rested my head back on the headrest of the couch and noticed I was getting weak and feeling sleepy, which was unusual. I tried and struggled to keep my eyes awake, but it wasn’t helping.
Slowly, my eyelashes repeatedly fall, despite how hard I try to keep them up. ”What’s happening?” I mumbled as I stared at the empty cup of coffee before me with half-closed eyes. ” Someone drugged me,” I muttered to myself and tried to stay awake, but I failed.
The growling of my wolf in my head forcefully woke me from sleep. The first thing that caught my eye was the ceiling of my room. My head throbbed in pain as I struggled to remember what had happened before passing out.
The last thing I remembered was drinking coffee and becoming dizzy. As I tried to sit up, I realized a weight was on my chest. I looked down to see Lady Golden naked and spread over me.
My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt confused.” What… what happened?” I muttered, my head spinning as I tried to process what was happening. She stirred, and her eyes flickered open. She looked up at me, and a slow smile spread across her face. ”You are awake,” She purred and tried getting closer to me, but I pushed her away.”
What the hell is going on?” I asked, sounding stern. Lady Golden laughed and shrugged. “Oh, nothing too scandalous, darling. We just had a little fun.” My eyebrows furrowed with confusion, and my mind raced as I tried to remember something after taking the cup of coffee, but after that, everything was blurred.
”Shit, you drugged me!” I yelled and left the bed, only to realize I was totally naked, and so was Golden. ”Fuck!” I grunted and picked up my sweatpants off the floor. Hurriedly, I put it on while she remained on my bed, covered with the sheets. I could feel my blood boil with rage and anger, my wolf, silent as before.
”How dare you?” I asked, with raging anger.
”How dare me?” she asked with raised eyebrows. “You think I’m a fool, and that you can humiliate me before everyone?” She yelled, getting me confused, ”I have told basically everyone I knew I would get married to you in two months from now, and you just woke up one morning and dashed off some rubbish to me.” She yelled, getting me more furious, but I was curious about something that troubled me more, ”We didn’t have sex, right?” I asked, worried, and got a scoff from her. ”Why do you think we are naked?” she asked with a victorious grin on her face. ”We had sex, and not just that, but you are the first man to touch me, and you know what that means if I tell this to my father.”
”No, you are lying!” I yelled, not wanting to believe her words.
”Alpha Ricardo, you will get married to me,” She declared as she left the bed and walked up to me. As she stood before me, I realized she was different this time. Back then, she had this naive and innocent face, but right now, she is the opposite of what I saw a few days ago.
”You defiled me, alpha Ricardo, and you will marry me….”
” I won’t get married to you,” I yelled, trying to suppress my anger. ”You will, alpha Ricardo.” “You have one month to make that decision,” she said, causing a heavy groan to leave my lips. I wished she was a man. Heaven knows what I would have done to her. ”Listen to me, you whore, and listen carefully.” I said, pointing a finger at her, ”Over my dead body will I marry you….” I tried speaking, but my words were cut off by the voice of Doctor Stephen in my head.
”Alpha Ricardo, we need you at the hospital.” He spoke in panic, causing an icy shiver to run down my spine.
Quickly, I went for a shirt in my closet and hurriedly put it on before teleporting away.
I arrived in the room and met Doctor Stephen and two nurses beside Mia.
”What is wrong?” I asked, moving over to Mia. She was just as I left her, in her exact position and posture.
”What is wrong….” I paused when my eyes settled on the machine.
”I’m sorry, but Mia is no longer giving any signals to the machine,” he said in a whisper, draining all the blood in my veins, ”I’m sorry, Alpha, but I think she is dead.”
”No!” I yelled, ”Mia, Mia,” I called her as I roughly shook her, but her body remained numb. ”No, this is not happening. This cannot happen.” I yelled in pain and buried my face in her chest. ”Please, no, please don’t leave me.” I cried out and noticed the lightbulbs in the room had exploded, causing the nurses to jerk with fear.
”Please take hold of yourself, or we will all be in danger,” Doctor Stephen pleaded with fear.
I knew he was right. I shouldn’t let my emotions get to me and cause me to lose control, but I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t in pain.
I hugged her tightly, hoping that this was all just a horrible nightmare, but the reality of the situation quickly set in. Mia was gone, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
The tears flowed freely down my face as I continued to cling to her body, wishing that I could bring her back to life. Suddenly, the machine beeped, causing me to jump up in surprise.
Doctor Stephen rushed over, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at the monitor. “That’s a signal. Mia’s heart is beating!” he exclaimed.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Mia was coming back to me. I hugged her tighter than ever before, refusing to let go. “Come on, Mia. You got this. Keep fighting. “I’m right here with you,” I whispered into her ear.
