Caged in Labor novel - Episode 13

Damien frowned, clearly not believing me. His Alpha stubbornness refused to accept the truth. He seemed to be forcing himself to be patient, his voice soft. “You’ve tricked me once already. I’m not falling for that again.” “Elena, stop this nonsense. I’ve given you everything you wanted. I’ll even give you all the attention you crave from now on.” “Tell me where the baby is. We’re taking him back to the pack right now.” I glared at him. He was so pathetic and hateful.

No matter what I said, he refused to believe a single word from his own mate. Isuddenly screamed, my voice carrying the hint of a wolf’s snarl. “Are you deaf?! The baby is GONE!” “And we are over. Don’t you get it? Faking my death was the only way I could get away from a heartless Alpha like you! I never want to see you again!” —- “So why did you have to come and find me?” I suppressed my emotions and took a deep breath.

“This is the last time we will ever see each other.” With that, I grabbed a file from the table and turned to leave. Damien was stunned into silence by my change in behavior. I used to be so submissive, never as assertive as I was now. He couldn’t process the shift. I was almost out the door when he lunged forward, blocking my path again, his domineering Alpha nature taking over. “Elena! You take that back right now! Do you have any idea what you are without me? A rogue!

How will you feed our pup? You can’t even afford formula! Are you going to let our child starve?” “T don’t know what tricks you used to get into this place, but you won’t last here. You don’t have what it takes! Your place is with my pack!” His words made me laugh. —- Did Damien really think that highly of himself? He thought he was such a great Alpha. But he had no idea that the only reason his pack survived the last economic collapse was because my father, fearing for my welfare, had secretly propped them up.
