"I will fucking kill you!" Stephen growled at Kevin as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Delilah. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn't believe that Stephen came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn't be dying or be going with Kevin. She knew Stephen wouldn't let that happen in a million years. She didn't know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!"Don't interfere here, alpha Stephen. It's none of your business!" Kevin growled at Stephen after getting up from the ground. He tried to take a step toward them but Stephen's one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That's the power he held. Even Kevin's warriors weren't brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? It ran away already."How dare you say that to me?! It

"Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!" Stephen's loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building. Stephen's frantic plea echoed through the hospital corridors, a chilling contrast to the sterile surroundings. The harsh, fluorescent lights flickered as if unable to bear witness to the intensity of the moment. Nurses and staff members scurried about, but the urgency in Stephen's voice demanded more than the routine hustle.But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain. But he wasn't feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn't feel it even a little bit. The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn't bear to look at Delilah, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won't be able

"I…I just know… we need to save her… find some other way." Stephen ordered while looking away from them, his face was getting blank. He slowly started to believe that there was no other way other than going to Kevin who actually could be her mate. But... He just can't accept that. The thought almost destroyed him. Just when he was losing hope, they all heard a new voice. "There is no other way, big alpha boy. Only you can save her."Everyone looked at the entrance of the corridor and found a woman standing there. Stephen recognized her immediately because she was the reason he could reach Delilah actually. But was it to any use now?"Witch?! How dare you come to my territory again and how dare you talk to me like that?" Stephen growled at her. "I am not your pet, alpha. That tone doesn't work for me. So, I am not going to be afraid of you. Not at least in a situation like this where her life is more important than these silly fights. Because trust me, if it wasn't for that pretty b

Stephen looked around the room and sighed. Then he looked at the woman who was lying lifelessly on the bed.He walked toward the couch, avoiding the scattered things. He kneeled down in front of her and brushed away some hairs from her face. She looked pale and sick. There were dark circles below her eyes. Tears had dried away and left marks over her cheeks. He sat next to her and held her hand hesitatingly. It was cold, lifeless and lacking energy. It felt dead and the thought itself was terrifying like the last time. Yes, he was scared last time as well, though he didn't know it was her who was injured. That's what the mate bond does. He bent his head and kissed the back of her palm unknowingly.They were right. It was his fault. He did all this to her. He was really an asshole toward her. He still remembers the innocent and happy smile she gave him the next morning after that night. He didn't take a moment to snatch that smile away from her.He sighed again while closing his eyes,

"I want to stay in this pack for some more time. Many people witnessed what happened yesterday night. They were from all over the region. Things are going to reach everywhere very soon. I am an Alpha's daughter. It's not good for my reputation. My father might disown me as well. All these can be prevented if only everyone gets the news of you forgiving me and giving me a second chance as a friend. Also, I need time. I will slowly make myself accept that I don't belong here slowly. Until then, I want to stay here. For the sake of the past or the future we were supposed to share, can't I at least demand for that?" She asked as a few drops of tears fell from her eyes.He fell into deep thoughts thinking of her demands. He couldn't decide if it was the right decision or not to let her stay. It might create further problems for Delilah and the pack members. But how could he be so cruel toward her as well?! Ugh! He was in such a messed up situation. He didn't like that at all. He just want
