Death To The Alpha

I was bound and gagged, crammed into the darkest corner of the room.

The clothes strewn chaotically, and the stench of sex hung heavy.

Edward, my husband and the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, lay naked on the bed, his arm draped possessively around the waist of a blonde woman half - hidden beneath the sheets.

Edward lifted his head.

He turned to the woman beside him, his hand slowly trailing up her bare thigh.

"Darling, I think it's high time our dear wife here joined in the festivities. Show her how to really have a good time."

I thrashed against my rope bonds, but they held firm.

Suddenly, Edward's attention snapped back to me.

"Come on, don't be a prude. Crawl over here and please us."

Then, his gaze landed on a small, ornate box on the nightstand.

"Fetch that sex toy and bring it here."

"What's the matter? Too shy? Maybe I should have her do it instead, and you can watch." He nodded towards the blonde, who giggled eagerly.

I shuffled forward on my knees.

With great effort, I managed to open the drawer and grasp the sex toy. Crawling back, I held it out to him.

I caught a glimpse of a glint on the floor.

My heart stopped.

It was the delicate necklace my mother had given me on my eighteenth birthday.

My eyes shot to Edward. "Where did you get this?"

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, that? She found it in your jewelry box. She liked it, so I told her she could keep it."

"Give it back," I tried to say, but it came out as a muffled plea.

She sneered. "Why should I? He gave it to me. It's mine now."

Before I could react, Edward's cold voice cut through the air.

"Enough of this. She's not giving it back. And if you don't like it, you'll just have to swallow your pride and endure."

Tears streamed down my face.

But this hadn't always been the case.

Alpha Edward and I had been inseparable since we first learned to shift into our wolf forms as children.

We'd romped through the moonlit forests,vowing that once we came of age, we'd seal our love with the mating ritual.

Then, something occurred. I had to sever all ties with Edward.

He dropped to his knees.

"Please, don't do this. I love you.

I'll become the greatest Alpha, I swear. Just don't leave me,"

I watched in horror as he chased me barefoot during a stormy night.
