"Why? To abuse her again? I know what you all did to her. I know how much suffering she endured, and I won't let that happen again," Alpha Luis said, pointing at Henry.
Then, he gently grabbed me and pulled me towards the entrance but someone else grabbed my other arm. I looked at that person. It was Henry, breathing heavily.
"Cindy, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't see your value, but now I regret it. I don't want to be with Jenny anymore. I want you."
Henry's eyes were pleading, moist with tears.
"I love you, Cindy," Henry added.
I remembered those days in my old house. The way they made me a servant, imprisoned me in the storage room, and how no one, not even Henry, saved me from that disaster.
But now, my life has changed. And I will not return to my old life just to be abused again.
"I said, stay away from her—"
Alpha Luis stopped, his rage subsiding when I calmly touched his chest and looked him in the eye. I nodded and smiled before turning to Henry. Afterward, I pulled my arm away from him.
