As soon as I saw her kissing Albert, my world seemed to stop. Unmeasurable rage built up on me as I felt extreme jealousy.
After our encounter, I decided that it's better to keep some distance between us. Maybe having a cold war with her would help the both of us.
As I left the room, I grabbed my phone and dialed my beta's number.
"Alpha," he immediately answered.
"Henry, find me a woman this instant and send her to my room."
"A-Alpha? I don't understand–" Immediately, I cut him off, "Just do it." With that, I ended the call.
I needed to forget Della's image kissing Albert from my mind. In fact, I needed to forget her. To do that, I needed a woman. I needed to have sex with someone and vent all my frustrations out.
Just as I was about to leave the premises to find the go to the hotel room where Henry would bring the woman, I saw Fae frantically meeting someone. Getting closer, I heard them.
"What? What's the situation? How can this happen?" Fae was in obvious panic which added to my curiosity.
What could have happened to make her react that way?
I stood at the corner, and then I heard the man replied, "Ms. We saw in CCTV cameras that someone dragged Ms. Della near the bathroom. We tried to locate her, but it was all in vain."
Instantly, fear overwhelmed me. My heart beat faster and my hand shook a beat. Wasting no time, I ran back inside and went to the bathroom.
Inhaling deeply, I instantly grasped her scent. In a fast walk, I followed her scent until I brought in an old apartment two blocks from where the party was held.
Seeing her being pinned down by a man, all the anger I was feeling for what happened earlier vanished in an instant. All I could feel was immense fear.
"I can't lose her… No…" I thought to myself as I rushed over and knocked the man out. After kicking him, I went to help Della and cover her torn skirt. All I could do at this moment was to hold her close to me and beg her to come back home with me.
I couldn't lose her. This was the first time that I felt that kind of fear and became panicked.
"W-Why didn't you reject Flora? If you are so afraid of seeing me hurt as you said you are, why didn't you reject her?"
Hearing her ask that, I was speechless. I couldn't answer her. I didn't know how.
How could I tell her that I needed to save every strength I had to maintain being the Alpha of my pack? That I needed all the power I still have left to deal with my powerful father? As hard as I work and make effort, it would still be hard for me to break off my mate's bond with Flora.
The Moon Goddess's arrangement was so powerful that I wouldn't be able to physically handle it yet without risking my position.
Damn it!
For the first time in my life I wanted to curse the Moon Goddess especially when I learned that it's my own sister who caused this tragic event. The one who caused harm to the woman I love.
"I don't want to see you again."
When Della said that after Albert accused me of being part of this plan, I felt suffocated. I felt like I was dropped down to the fire of hell in an instant.
Della's part of my life. She's my life.
I was so jealous of Albert, on how he could be that close to her. On how he could protect her freely. On how she holds him and takes his side. I was so jealous but I couldn't be where he was. At least not right now. I just couldn't break free from the fate I'm binded into.
My father was powertrippin, and I'm always tiptoeing on my position at the pack, and my sister was sick and always making trouble.
At some point it's very tiring.
I wanted to be the one for her. The one who would take care and support her. I wanted to give myself wholeheartedly to her, but I couldn't. I had the burden of my family, my fated-mate, and my pack over my shoulders.
"Della… Don't tell me that you really don't–" I started to speak. I didn't know what to say, but I just wanted to talk to her. I never felt so hopeless and betrayed. i couldn't handle that she wasn't believing me.
"Save it."
When she said that, I knew that it's over. She had enough of me.
And when she offered to sign the divorce papers as a condition of dropping the lawsuit against Margot, I felt like my heart was breaking.
She wants to cut all ties with me so badly, doesn't she? She wants to leave me so badly, doesn't she?！
She was so well aware of Margot's care and sacrifice for me, and it is impossible for me not to save her.
But I won't let you go, Della. You are mine no matter what.
"I'll contact you," I said. Looking at her deeply, I looked down and dejectedly left in daze.
On one side is my sister, on the other side is my lover. What should I do?
I had no idea. This question made me restless. I drove back to the packhouse extremely quickly and wanted to investigate and ask my lawyer to find a solution, but once I arrived, I received a call.
"Go to Lycan King's castle." Lycan Prince's cold voice came, and after that he immediately turned off the call.
What does he want? Did he want to take Della from me? No way in hell! Not even if he's the Lycan prince!
As I hid my phone, I suddenly knew the answer to the question that had been bothering me-
I'd rather die than sign those divorce papers and give Della away！
I stood up and strode towards the door. Maybe it's because my expression was too serious and angry, Henry ran to me anxiously and tried to remind me. "Alpha, calm down. We… we cannot afford to offend the prince."
The anxious expression on his face was so silly that I couldn't help but start thinking about my previous Beta.
But what he said was right. We couldn't afford to get in a fight with the Lycan prince, but Della's another matter. For her, I could and would offend anyone in my path.
Looking at Henry, I replied with seriousness, "I will save Della and bring her back as my supreme Luna. As long as she's willing to stay with me, not even a prince can stop me."
With a face of determination, I stood tall and went to my car to go to the castle.
