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 67

"If that's your full speed, then you're a pretty slow Alpha." Alex stopped walking.

"You just deflated his big ego," Ingrid commented in my head. I snickered.

Alex stalked towards me. "Let's race."

I tilted my head in confusion. "I don't even know which way to go."

"Its a few miles straight ahead," he stated while nodding forward. I nodded and we stood next to each other. Alex started counting down. "One. Two. THREE!"

We both took off running. We were head to head until I saw the faint outline of the mansion. There is no way that I could speed up.

"We don't have to. Powers," Ingrid said. I mentally slapped myself. Alex didn't say anything about using my powers. I saw a tree root up ahead. I focused on it, and when we ran by, it wrapped itself around Alex's ankle.
