The Foreign Alpha

Losing

Derick's POV

I had felt my heart broken before, it happened when she was taken, it happened when I thought she betrayed me, it happened with every lash she endures from my own hand, it happened when she took my rejection, is not a new feeling for me at all.

It happened right now... she was kissing him.

I stormed out of the palace, directly to the lake again, the pain in my chest makes it hard to breathe. I needed to step out again because if not, I would probably kill him and mark her.

"Derick", Ellie yelled but when I didn't respond she frowned and followed me, "what's wrong? You look ready to kill someone!", She asked still with a concerned look.

"She kissed him, how could she? The bond is not broken yet and she kissed him, knowing what would do to me!!!", I yelled releasing a loud growl.

"Fuck!!!", Ellie blurted.

"That's why she doesn't give me a fucking chance!!!, She is too busy screwing around first Adler, now Boudin, and I don't know who the hell else?", I roared hitting a tree.

"Calm down! And stop accusing her without even have the certainty she really is screwing with others", Ellie defended her.

"Calm down, I can't fucking calm down!!!", I roared and hit the tree again.

"Yes, calm down. Maybe was my fault", she admitted with a 'please forgive me' face and I turned to see her, with clenched fists.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

"Today, she sat with me at breakfast", she started and paused, "well, she asked me if I was with you last night because she sent somebody to look for you and you were not in your room and I told her that yes, that we were old good friends and we were remembering bold good times... Then she stood up to leave, but, instead of walking away she turned to see me and asked me to put makeup on these", she explained and took her scarf off and I saw the hickeys all over her neck.

I took a deep breath, "why did you tell her I was with you?", I asked as calmly as I could.

"Because you had been using me to make her jealous... I don't know, I didn't realize she was looking at my neck", she justified herself raising her hands in the air, "I wanted to help you and I messed up more, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention", she apologized.

"I know it wasn't", I sighed and hugged her. "I don't know what to do now", I whisper.

"Keep fighting", she replied, "explain where you really were last night and I will explain to her that it was not you who did this to me", she promised, putting her scarf back on.

"Thanks, Ellie", I told her

"Let's go to the meeting where are late already", she urged me and we started to walk back to the palace.

Before getting in the meeting, I spoke with Avery's PA and asked her for an appointment for today, Ellie did it as well.

We got in the room and took a couple of empty sits, Avery was seated to my uncle's right, and next to her was Shawn, that should have been my seat.

She didn't even glance at me.

But she spends the complete time exchanging glances with Boudin, giving him a few smiles, my blood was boiling, Ellie grabbed my hand a couple of times to stop me from standing at going directly to claim what's mine.

Avery's POV

We got in the meeting and my dad raised an eyebrow at me, "am I in trouble?", I asked him in our link.
