Chapter 28
*****Alex’s POV*****]
That crazy woman! Refusing to take my calls, and that was not all, she had dared talk back at me.]
An Omega talking so unruly to an Alpha like myself. That was unheard of!
That was outrageous! It was unbelievable. She had issues me a warning, also laughed at me. If only I knew where she was. If only I knew that place she was hiding.]
I knew she was jealous. She had started out well and even though I had not been satisfied with her as my Moon Goddess given mate, I was willing to just keep the marriage because she made quite the good wife, but then I had to take the extreme measures to make her apologize for her wrong doing.
Serenity had done nothing wrong and she had the wickedness in her to push the girl. As though that had not been enough, she stabbed Serenity.
My Beta even stood me up all because of her, Erika. I tried to control my anger. The pack doctor had said Serenity had lost lots of blood, that worried me. I just hoped she would survive this.
I paced the corners of my office restlessly. The door opened to reveal my younger sister, Elena. I paused in my tracks to give her my attention.
“Hello brother.” She greeted, her dimples on full display as she smiled.[]
“Elena.” I frowned a bit in puzzlement, wondering what could be making her smile that much.
“Serenity is alright now and she asked for you.” She informed me, her smile grew.
That was a surprising news and a good one. I had not been expecting it. Thanks the Moon Goddess that the plans of Erika had not worked out.]
“She’s still at the hospital right?” I inquired, already moving to the door with her following behind.[]
“Yes, she is.” She replied.[]
“This
is great news, Elena. Did the doctor say anything about her health?” I asked again as we walked out of my mansion and towards the grounds of the infirmary.[]
“No. We are yet to see the doctor, but Mother asked me to come call you especially since Serenity asked of you.” She replied.]]
We had gotten to the room Seren was kept in and immediately I opened the door, Seren’s beautiful eyes met mine. She smiled brightly, though it was somehow weak, but she was alive.
I went to her and she held my hands as tight as her current strength could carry.
“Hey.” She greeted.]
“Hey Seren. How are you?” I patted her weak hand.
“As you can see.” She showed me the huge bandage wrapped around her waistline.[]
I tried not to let anger overwhelm me.
“You’ll heal in no time, it’s a silver blade that was stabbed into your waistline, but the most important thing now is you’re awake.”
I’ll try to find Erika, wherever she had gone to hide and I’ll pull her out of that hiding hole.[]
And the Moon Goddess help me, when I do, she would regret crossing paths with me.[]
“Your mom told me you lost Erika, after I was rushed to the hospital.“[]
“Yes, I did. But don’t worry, I’ll find her and make her pay for what she did to you.” I promised her.
“No. Just leave her alone.” She said.
“Why? You almost died and she was the reason behind it.” I responded.
“It does not matter, I understand how she feels. She lost you, lost her marriage. Then had to make the most difficult choice; breaking her mate bond with you which was quite painful. So she’s allowed to rage.” She patted my hand right back.
See how nice and thoughtful Seren was, even though she had been wronged by Erika, she still did not want her to be punished. Rather, she should be forgiven and left to live her life.
But then again, what if Erika had succeeded? What if Seren had not survived it? Yes, we both got divorced but that was not enough reason for her to do what she had just done.
“You’re a really nice person Seren.” My sister who had been listening to our conversation commented. “I wish you had married my brother instead of that crazy murderess my brother had brought home to us.” She said the last part with disgust.

Seren managed a chuckle, it sounded weak and low. “Don’t call her names, Elena. She’s just in a really bad place at the moment. I believe she will get better, and when she does, she might regret of all this and possibly try to reach out.“]
Elena scoffed. “Try to reach out? That devil? Wicked people like her do not regret anything, they just keep on being wicked to everyone around them. So bittered, that Erika.“]
I listened to my sister air her grievances against Erika and Seren trying to calm her down. Erika had never been this wicked, that was for sure. She used to be so humble, loyal and obedient, until she became this version I could not recognize. She did not deserve this mercy Seren was showing her and I told Seren.
She smiled. “No one is above making mistakes and engaging in acts we will come to regret in the future. It’s all about understanding where their pain is coming from and try to help them, if you can, to alleviate the pain.“[]
“She truly does not deserve your mercy, Seren.” Elena put in, angry lines deepening on her forehead.[]
“Where’s mother?” Whatever Seren said, I just pray I did not meet Erika anytime soon, she wouldn’t like what would befall her.
“She just left now to get food for Seren.” My sister responded. Mother had always loved Seren more than Erika, but she had not been able to do anything when she’d
found out Erika was mate.
te.[]
Just then, mother entered with a bag containing food.
“You didn’t use any of the maids?” I asked.[]
No one can be trusted for now, until Seren gets fully well, I’ll personally take care of her.” She replied. “I just overheard a troubling news right now, Alex.“]]
“What news, mother?”
“Iron Claw is in chaos.” She met my gaze. She was trying to contain the worry but I saw it.]
Iron Claw pack was the biggest and most feared pack in Fangoria, and if there is trouble there, that surely spelled trouble for the rest of other packs in Fangoria.[]
