Chapter 1
Samantha's Point of View
As I walked down the corridor, I heard a woman moaning and the familiar moans of a man, so I stopped. I was shaking with nerves, pain, and anger. I don't think I can open the door. But I still dared to open it to confirm my thoughts. And my world was completely shattered by what I was going through.
They were both lying in bed, completely naked and in an intimate embrace. I could feel my heart thumping out of my chest as I tried to process what I was seeing. The woman's moaning had become louder now, and the man's voice was filled with pleasure. His hands were all over her body, exploring her curves and making her quiver with pleasure. I could feel a burning sensation inside me, and the tears started to stream down my face. It’s my Alpha with another woman in bed.
I was devastated. I was too stunned to move or speak. I just stood in front of the door, watching as he and Zira embraced each other. I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces as I realized the truth: he had betrayed me. My mind was filled with thoughts of despair and anger when I saw my man with another woman in bed.
“Why did you do this to me?!”I asked emotionally as my tears started to run from my eyes, and I could feel my heart break into pieces.
I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had never felt so betrayed in my life.
“Samantha?!” he panicked as his eyes widened.
"Why?!" I hollered.
He was still in shock that I had found them together, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. I felt my heart beat faster, and the air suddenly felt thick and heavy.
Zira’s movements were swift and jittery as she tried to cover herself, her eyes darting between me and Alpha David.
On the other hand, Alpha David too seemed to be in a state of panic, quickly standing up and pushing Zira away from him, causing her to stumble to the floor.
I felt a wave of rage and embarrassment wash over me. How could he treat her like that? After all that we had been through, how could he do this to her? My fists were clenched, and I could feel my body trembling with anger.
His face was red, and he was breathing heavily. He seemed to be trying to compose himself, but he couldn't quite manage it. He stammered as he tried to find the right words, but it was too late. I had already seen enough. But after a few seconds, he spoke and I was shocked by what I heard from him.
"I know you've been fooling around with that man. I'm tired of your lies and betrayals. I can't trust you anymore, that's why!" he answered with a cold voice. "I'll put you in prison for this!"
I could feel my heart shatter at that moment. Is he gas lighting me?
"I have never deceived you! What did that woman tell you?!"I yelled.
I wanted to tell him that I had never done anything wrong, but he had already closed his heart to me. He had already decided that I was the one to blame for this, and I could do nothing to change his mind. I wanted to scream and shout at him, but instead I kept controlling my emotions. I knew that no matter what I said or did, he would never listen. I was broke and I felt like I was dying inside. I was in pain and I was lost.
"It's not important anymore, Samantha. It's better to leave now!" he replied arrogantly.
"I'm not leaving here!" I protested because I guess I can't even imagine them continuing sex.
"You are no longer ashamed, Samantha. You were the first to betray me!" I replied firmly.
"I never cheated on you!" I insisted.
"You shameless woman!" I screamed and rushed towards Zira, pulling her hard.
"You really slandered me just to take him away from me!" I hollered.
I cannot accept their accusation that I did what he did. I had been accused of something I had never done. The Alpha of my pack had been caught in a compromising position with another woman, and now they had tried to pin the blame on me. I had never cheated on my Alpha; I had devoted my life to him and our pack.
"Stop it, Sam! No matter what you say, I can't be with you anymore!" he said angrily, pushing me hard.
There was a hint of anger on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't care about me at all. I had to fight the tears threatening to fall from my eyes. How could I not feel betrayed? I couldn't believe that he had chosen her over me.
I looked at Zira and she was grinning in front of me. I looked her up and down. What does she have that I don’t? How did she seduce and steal the man I loved?
I had a lot of pain in my chest. But I choose to humble myself because I cannot lose Alpha David. My world has revolved around him for ten years and I can't lose him.
"Sweetheart, please let’s fix this. I promise I will forget what happened, but don't leave me because of that woman!" I implored him emotionally.
But he just laughed at me and ignored my words. I saw him holding Zira's arm to show his protection and care.
I was filled with despair and felt like my heart was broken into pieces. It was then that I finally realized that it was useless to try to convince him to stay with me. I had already lost him and I had no chance to win him back. With a heavy heart, I turned around and left with my head held high. I could feel the eyes of Zira and Alpha David burning into my back as I walked away.
That's the last thing I remember before I woke up inside the dark room, confused and in pain. I tried to move but my body felt so weak and I couldn't get out of bed. I realized I had been trapped.
"What's going on?" I said to myself. I heard noises coming from outside and it sounded like someone was trying to enter the room. I started to panic and I was about to scream for help when the door opened. The guards appeared and dragged me away outside the prison.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked her.
I turned around and a naked man walked over. I was surprised to recognize the man who was also being held by the guards.
"Damon?!" I asked in disbelief.
He looked at me with a deep sadness in his eyes. "Please, tell them the truth," I begged him one last time. But he just shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't." I knew then that I was doomed.
I looked back at Alpha David as he addressed the crowd.
"Damon has admitted that you were having an affair, so you can't cheat on me anymore, Samantha," he accused.
"That is not true!" I protested.
"Damon, please tell them it’s not true!" I convinced Damon, but he remained silent.
At that time, I felt like my anger was going to explode. I cannot accept the accusations they have leveled against me.
"I beg you tell them the truth," I begged with tears in my eyes.
"No one will believe you, Samantha. Admit the betrayal you have done to our beloved Alpha," Zira said sarcastically.
"I didn't betray him! He betrayed me!" I yelled.
But she just laughed at me and I saw her raise her hands and listen to the whole pack decision.
"The decision is in your hands, my dear pack." Alpha David announced.
I looked at the pack members around us. I hope they protect me and believe in me this time. But when I heard the words they shouted, I was very devastated.
