Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

Chapter 23

"My mate is a basta-"

"Emma!" Alex's voice echoed through the castle.

I looked at Jordyn and rolled my eyes. "Speaking of the devil" I mumbled. I got off the bed and walked to the door. I reached for the handle, but it was pulled open in front of me.

Alex stood in the doorway sweaty and panting. His hair was messy, sticking out in weird angles. We stared at each other for a second before he was yanked backwards by one of the guards. "Let go of me! She's my mate!" Alex thrashed in the guard's hold. "Ema, tell this guy to let go of me," Alex said and stopped moving.

"Good evening, Princess," Scott, the guard greeted me. "Do you know this young man?" Scott asked.

I sighed and nodded at the guard. "Yes, this is Alpha Alex of the Blue Moon Pack," I explained. Scott nodded and released Alex.

"I'll be going then," Scott said and walked off like it was casual to assault an Alpha.
