The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 21

"Asher, you need to go get your son."

Liam was in the living room playing, but he was in a playpen so he didn't go very far. He can walk on his own now and he is talking more. Asher is glad that he got to witness all of these important life moments. 

"Alright, babe." 

Liam and I have been living with Asher for a couple of months now. Lots have changed. Liam is one, and Asher and I are doing good we haven't had any more major fights.

Our life is good, other than the looming threat of Bret.

We haven't heard or seen anything of him since that night, and I am constantly worried over Liam's safety. 

I know Bret, he is smart. He is like a sneaky fox. The plan I have been thinking of is like last time, but I am initiating it. I haven't figured all of my plans out yet, but I know that Asher will be outraged. 

After feeding my boys dinner and cleaning a bit (my obsessions). I went outside for a stroll. Asher was doing something with his buds and offered to take Liam. I had welcomed the alone time as I rarely get a moment to myself anymore. 

I was walking near the forest line and chose to go deeper. Asher had warned me against this, and I knew it was dangerous but I wanted to go somewhere new. 

After another half an hour of walking, I looked at my destination. 

Well, I suppose this isn't new. 

I was at the lake. The one I tried to kill myself in. The one Asher and Hudson's parents died near. 

I remember that day clearly. 

Why did Hudson bring me here? Doesn't he know his brother, the Alpha, hates me? 

I contemplated leaving when the door slammed open to reveal my handsome and fuming mate.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I-I H-Huds-son b-brought me b-back here." 

"Why are you in a room and not a cell, maid?"

"I'm n-not sure. A-a wolf brought me h-here."

He grunted.

"Where is the Luna?"

"She is with her mate. She left to be with him."

"So do you have a-another Luna?"

"Don't think that I would ever have you as a Luna. I will never love you, you're just the maid. And you aren't even that good at that job. Why don't you just do us all a favor and kill yourself? Put yourself out of your misery of your poor pathetic life." 

And that is what I would do. He wanted to use me as a punching bag, that would never happen.

I snuck out stole a knife and wrote a note. 

 I laughed. That was supposed to be my end. No happily ever after for this girl. No, I was never supposed to be happy. I wanted to die. I wanted to for a long time after that too. Sometimes today even I think things that I haven't since that day.

But now, I have a mate, a son, and a pack that loves me. I wiped the few tears that fell and stepped closer to the lake. 

I don't see the same girl as I did that day. 

That day, I was scared and lonely. 

Now, I am a strong and confident woman. I am trying to be the best me, although with Bret it is hard.
