Debby’s POV:
“All you need is rest so that the medicine can kick in and work. The unborn pup is fine, and you will recover in no time,” a healer said, then walked out of the ward room.
I looked at the ceiling as tears rolled down.
I was back at the same old pack I had destroyed with my own two hands. How things fall apart.
The same Alpha and his pack I hated with my very life and breath were the ones helping me out. Was this my punishment?
If it was, then it was very painful. How was I going to face a mate I rejected and wanted dead?
Would he look at me or even give me a second chance? No, he promised to take my life if we ever crossed paths, so definitely, my death was just around the corner.
I quickly sat upright when Damon walked in with his woman. Behind him were Alec and Maggie.
I was scared of him, but not as scared as I was of that monster.
Maggie quickly went to my side and touched my shoulder.
“Calm down and stop moving around too much. You might hurt your wrist. The drip was put in recently, isn’t it?” She asked softly.
I wanted to answer, but the words couldn’t come out. I was terrified at the cold gaze that was coming from Damon.
“I won’t beat around the bush over why we are here,” he said as he continued to speak.
“We have come to understand that you have gone through a great deal of pain and torture, and you would love to be set free from that man’s hold,” he said as I blankly looked at him.
“If you want to be set free, then I will help you,” he said as I widened my eyes in shock.
Was I hearing wrong, or was I coming down with a fever? Did he just say help me? The very she-wolf who almost took his life?
“Alec will send you away after your escape, and you will be given one of my vacation houses to stay in, which is out of this country. There, you will figure out how to survive on your own. You will be given a little something to sustain you on that side, and I hope you will live a very decent life,” he said as I looked at Maggie in disbelief.
“Why?” I forced out the words, then looked at him as tears ran down my cheeks.
“Why would I help you? It’s simple because I have a woman who is kind and a billion times more awesome than you were. While I settled for killing you, she took pity on you and asked me to show you this last favor as grace,” he answered.
I slowly stood up from my bed and went to my knees with my head lowered to the ground.
“Thank you, Luna. Thank you so much,” I sobbed loudly.
Looking back at everything, I was a monster to him. He loved me and wanted me wholeheartedly, yet I couldn’t let go of my anger and hate towards him. It took until Johnson to realize what kind of mistakes I had made in my life. If I could have just tried to be happy, by now I would have been the one standing next to him with our own pups. I would have been like a queen, and he would have shown nothing but respect to me.
I ruined the one and only chance the moon goddess had blessed me with, and now I was regretting it so much because there was no way he would take me back or love me, ever. What he saw was an enemy when he looked at me, and that’s what I made myself be to him.
“Hey, you don’t have to do that. You are a pregnant woman and a sick one at that,” Maggie whispered softly, then moved and helped me stand up.
“You will do exactly as you did to my men. If you fail, then that’s your own problem. Alec will hand you a small liquid bottle of red Otis and a dagger dipped in it. You will use those against the Alpha and Beta. Once you take those two out, you will meet Alec at a given location. There, he will aid you and take you out of this country,” he said as I sobbed loudly in relief.
“I’ll repeat, if you fail, you will definitely lose your life for attempting to assassinate the Alpha and his Beta. Also, once the money you will be given is gone, you will have to figure out a way of surviving without help, so be wise. As of today, we cut all ties and we should never, ever cross paths again, or else I won’t let you live,” he said as I nodded.
He and his mate were so kind that I didn’t know how to even begin to thank them.
“Allow me to give you this child once it is born to show my gratitude,” I said as Damon growled at me, making me cower in fear.
“Keep that filth with you. We don’t want it because my woman and I will have our very own pups. If you want to really show your gratitude, then never show your damn face in front of us and never step foot in my pack,” he growled angrily as the room slightly shook. I quickly lowered my gaze while I trembled.
“Luna Debby, there is something I would like to know. Why is the Alpha obsessed with bringing Xiao back?” Alec asked seriously.
“Because his father demands it. Xiao’s father is Johnson’s godfather. He listens to him most of the time, and he rarely gets angry with him. When Xiao came with a vampire mate in the pack, his father was furious. He was the one that asked the Alpha to imprison her. He would have done the same with her pup, but he changed his mind when his wife pleaded with him. When Xiao ran away, his father was very upset and asked the Alpha to bring him back over and over. At first, he sent his warriors after them, but when he got news that he had crossed your territory, it became amusing to him,” I answered.
“He wanted to look at the man I first mated with. He wanted to see his expression upon seeing how broken and used I had become. That’s why he decided to come with his Beta personally. You see, Johnson is a sick man who takes pride in making me suffer. Whatever hurts me makes him happy. That’s why we came here,” I said.
“Funny man, I see,” Damon said, then looked at his Luna.
“Honey, let’s retire to bed. I showed my grace as you wanted. Now I want nothing but to lie down next to you,” he said as the lady smiled and linked her hand to his.
“Thank you,” she whispered, as my heart ached badly.
I watched as they both left the room without another word. She was living a life I could only daydream about, and that was very painful to my heart.
I turned and faced Maggie, sadly forcing a smile across my face.
“Maggie, thank you,” I let out a scream when she slapped me hard across the face, making me stumble and fall.
“That was for all the pain you put my boy through. Now listen, and listen very well, Debby. I hate you so much for everything you did to my pack, but I can’t let a pregnant she-wolf suffer. You may be guilty, but your unborn pup isn’t. That’s why I will help you. Today, you will take out that bastard no matter what. If you truly want to live, you will do it, and I’ll be right there to lend you a hand. Alec will keep an eye on our Alpha so he doesn’t know that I’m coming with you because if he does know, he won’t let it slide,” she said as I nodded.
“I will do everything in my power to see to it that they die, Maggie,” I answered seriously.
All the she-wolves that lay with him were forced to take contraceptive herbs, yet I was the only exception.
I knew if I was to deliver this unborn pup safely, he would make it suffer without any remorse over his actions. That’s why I was going to give it my all to see to it that today was his last day on earth.
