Running away from The Demon Alpha

Tears streamed down my face as the pain gnawed at my heart. In the flickering light of the flames, I watched my mate, Alpha Balor, desperately clutching Susan—his mistress, his so-called "true love"—as they hurried away. Not once did he look back to check on me, even though I was fighting for my life.

“At least for our... child...” I gasped, my voice barely audible through the thick smoke that made it hard to breathe. Before I lost consciousness, the last image burned into my mind: my mate, holding another shewolf, completely ignoring me as they escaped the inferno.

“You’ve broken a few ribs, Luna. And…” The doctor’s words hit me like a sledgehammer. “I’m sorry to say, you’ve lost the baby.”

“If you’d been brought in just twenty minutes earlier,” the doctor continued, “we could’ve saved it.”

Tears blurred my vision as the crushing weight of the loss hit me. My baby—gone.

Later that night.

“Can you make dinner for Susan?” My mate’s voice snapped me back to reality. I looked up, heart breaking as I lay there, mourning the child I would never hold. His words struck like a blow. “Susan doesn’t want the chef’s food,” he added. “She wants your lamb soup.”

I could hardly breathe as the cruel absurdity of it sank in.

Susan stood nearby, cold and composed, her voice dripping with disdain. “The last sauce you made had too much chili. I don’t know if you were trying to kill my baby—”

“Wait, what?” My head spun as I walked towards her. “What do you mean, baby?”

“Help!” Susan screamed, acting as if I was about to attack her.

In an instant, Alpha Balor shoved me aside with brutal force.

“How dare you lay a hand on her?”

Days later, I dialed a number I never thought I’d call.

“Alpha Damian Brooks, I’ve made up my mind. I want to join your pack.”

Trinity’s POV

When a fire, which was started by the new intern, Susan, engulfed the company, I screamed my mate's name. But he was rather occupied in tending to Susan, his assistant, who was already safe.

I was broken to the bones as I watched this happen, and panic enveloped me. While trying to save others, I'd been left behind in these rising flames.

I looked to my left and found a window. But the way down was over a hundred feet. Below, I could see him, Alpha Balor of Nightshade Pack, his arms wrapped around Susan.

Seeing that my life was in my hands and the fire was already in the room, I jumped.

I crashed into a pile of burning cars and my body seemed to explode.

I screamed and cried as I rolled out of the burning cars.

In the corner of my eyes, I saw Alpha Balor jump into his SUV with Susan in his arms.

"Balor!" I cried with my last strength.

All I got was a weary glance as he drove away.
