I started gathering the rest. Jewelry he once gave me. Memories I no longer wanted to wear. Then came the loud banging on the door. One of the maids was calling my name in a panic.
I opened it quickly, but instead of the maid, Darius barged in. He slammed me against the wall.
“What the hell did you put in the food?”
My chest heave. “What? I didn’t—”
“You poisoned her and my son?!” he roared, pointing a shaking finger at me. “If anything happens to her...”
His voice broke into something monstrous.
“You’ll pay for it.”
"I promise, I didn’t do anything," I told his right hand.
My eyes followed the fading trail of my husband's car. He left immediately to be with Sasha after confronting me. He wants me to admit something I didn’t do. He even sent Desmond to force it out of me.
“Even I don’t believe you could do that, Luna Rose,” Desmond muttered quietly.
My chest cracked as I felt the pain behind my back from where Darius pinned me to the wall earlier. The bruises were worse now, especially on my arms and neck where he grabbed me.
"Alpha wasn't like this before. Did he really hurt you?" Desmond asked, voice full of disbelief.
