Demian’s POV
SEVEN MONTHS AGO
“You look lost. Do you need any help?”
I glanced behind me where blood was sputtered at the bodies of my lost men and those that were brave enough to survive. They held my eyes. ready to follow orders, whether it was for their own good or bad.

We rushed to their place and had our own rooms, I could barely stand. The bitter taste of blood and sweat still clung to my mouth, mingling with the acrid stench of the barleheld.
My pack warriors, battered and broken, were scattered around the camp, their moans and groans a cost of this damned war

They’re located at the heart of the forest and, although this would make it seem like they’re rogues, say they like to keep it off packs and build their town. I have no problem with that as long as they provide some food to eat for my men.

“We have to thank them somehow.”
What was meant to be a few days of rest turned into a month. When the woman’s birthday arrived, the tribe threw a celebration. We decided to attend since we’d be leaving for the pack and my wife, Selene, in a week.
My hands began to itch at the thought of it running around her body as I ought to worship her pussy in the bedroom the moment I come back. 1 can’t wait for whatever this shit is to be over.
“Cherri“” A smirk formed on my lips at the sound of my men finally dragging their walls down from so much fighting

a month of rest.
The celebration for Amara’s tribe began. It was the temporary sanctuary from the hell we’d been through.
The night drepeted, and I stared at the enipty glass of beer in my hand, my mind wandering to my wife back home, Selene–her eyes, her touch.– dur warmth of herskum agunt mune. It’s been montis and my cock had never langed for her cunt this long-

My thoughts grew foggy, yet the images of Selene grew more vivil, more raw. As if she was right beside me. The possessive fantasies twisted and writhed in my mind, becoming more violent, nuore primal
The glass slipped from my hand, shattering on the floor as I leaned forward, my eyes dark with feverish inte and the power I felt I had over her:

“I’m pregnant” Amara muttered, looking straight at me.
One fucking month. That’s how long it took for everything to go to shit. I didn’t know how it happened when I woke up beside her naked body, I could barely remember anything, but the implications were clear enough and since then had haunted me. I betrayed Selene.

The old man’s sinirk didn’t falter. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, looking like he’d just heard the best joke of his life. “You think you can just ignore this, do you?” He laughed, a cold mirthless sound that made my blood run colder.
Stul. I want to rip that face off.

Chapter 3
This wasn’t over. I’d play along with their sick game for now, but I swear I’ll find a way out of this hell. Selene was mine, the only woman I’m worshiping–my Goddess, and I’d be damned if I let these bastards take her away from me.
“Hear me, Blackwood Pack. This woman is Amara Hale. My one true mate.”
This isn’t over.
An hour passed by after she left
“I need to get out,” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else, and stormed out of the hall, slamming the door behind me.
I can’t lose her.
I rushed past
the guards and out into the cool night air, hoping I would still find her. But there was no one out in the iron gates anymore. Shit, shit, shit. Where is she? I walk over to one of the senior guards, pulling him by the collar as 1 bare my canines at him. “Where is she? Where the fuck did you take her?” I growled, ready to snap his neck if he gave me another answer.
“S–she left, Alpha..he answered.
I dropped him and turned around…

I had to find her.
“Selene!” I bellowed into the void. The name echoed back at me. The further I searched, the more my anger boiled over. She was gone. Fucking gone. my mind raved with images of her pain and a monstrous rage churned inside n My hands clawed at the dirt, digging into the earth as if I could pull her back from the abyss. My breath came in harsh, ragged gasps. “Where the fuck are you?” | growled.
The thought of losing her, of her being out there alone, drove me to the edge. I wanted to tear apart the world for what it had done to her. For what I had done.
Deep down, a dark idea began to form. If she were here, I’d just chain her, hide her from Amara, and never let her go. Maybe it would be against her will, but with that, she’s going to remain mine. The thought was a sick mix of of desire–a twisted vision of her wrapped in chains as I keep her safe and in the palm of my hands, no matter the cost
She wouldn’t like it, but she’s going to grow on it–I’ll be worshiping her.
“Once this is over, I’m going to find you, Selene. And you’ll be mine.
