Chapter 7 That one statement stopped William in his tracks , as if his entire world had frozen in place . Caitlin … was pregnant ? Since when ? The realization struck him like lightning . He had given the order to drop the bomb for Lucy .. * that * bomb . And Caitlin , pregnant with their child , had watched him deliver that very order . Watched him carry Lucy away , leaving her behind to face the unimaginable . What kind of torment was this ? What sort of anguish could compare ? Williams mind spiraled . He had destroyed not only the love of his life but also their unborn child with his own hands . Suddenly , Lucy sauntered into the hospital room , pouting playfully . Alpha , look at the scar on my chest . Its ugly … she whined , deliberately tugging her low cut dress further down to reveal faint scars . She struck a sultry pose , her eyes lighting up when they fell on Blake . the legendary Alpha of the Bloodwalker Pack . His cold , enigmatic presence was as imposing as his reputation . It was her first time meeting him , and she was dazzled . Though William had always been her golden ticket , he paled in comparison to Blakes brooding aura . Lucy threw a flirtatious glance at Blake , then noticed another man in the room . Dwent Mad Chapter 7 She didnt bother fixing her dress . Instead , she adjusted it downward , revealing even more . Blake , unimpressed , didnt spare her a glance . Feeling rebuffed , Lucy turned away in disappointment , consoling herself . * Never mind , William isnt so bad . * She reached for him , but his icy , murderous glare stopped her in her tracks . The tension In the room was broken by warriors bursting in with victorious news . Congratulations , Alpha ! Weve wiped out Vampires lair completely ! Yes , the border is finally secure ! Another chimed in , The healer promised to reveal her true identity after our victory . Where is she ? The room fell silent as everyone sensed the charged atmosphere . Blakes voice cut through the quiet like a blade . The healer is dead . The warriors froze , their joy replaced with shock . Many owed their lives to the healer . Silent tears welled up in their eyes . Lucy , snapping out of her daze , scoffed . Whats the big deal ? She wasnt even on the battlefield . If shes dead , thats it . The air turned Icy as Williams gaze locked onto her . His voice was as cold as death . * Dead is dead * 7 Before anyone could react , he lunged , his hand closing around Lucys throat . His voice was a roar of fury . My Trade My Alphor Husband Went Mad Chapter 7 If you hadnt been injured , I wouldnt have rushed back ! If you hadnt seduced me , Caitlin wouldnt have left me ! Go to hell and apologize to Caitlin ! back . The warriors wrestled William off Lucy , their combined strength barely e to hold him As they restrained him , the horrifying truth began to dawn on everyone in the room . Caitlin , their Luna , had been the healer . The memories clicked into place . The healers frantic efforts whenever William was injured , her selflessness , her unwavering devotion . It all made sense now . Blakes voice cut through the chaos , calm but piercing . Caitlin was captured because of a traitor in the army . Someone betrayed her position . All eyes turned to Lucy as her body stiffened . She tried to slip away unnoticed , but Blakes warrior grabbed her shoulder . Lucy , care to explain your motives ? William stared at her , disbelief and fury battling in his eyes . Lucy … what have you done ? Lucy shook her head desperately . No ! Its not true ! Let me explain , William , please ! Blake pulled a hard drive from his pocket and handed it to William . The evidence is here . You decide what to do with the traitor . William reviewed the contents , each image and message cutting deeper than the last . Lucys manipulation was laid bare . Chapter 7 Her lies , her betrayal , her role in driving Caitlin away . His heart ached as he imagined Caitlins pain upon seeing those messages . He stormed into the interrogation room , his presence radiating hostility . Lucy broke under his relentless questioning , confessing everything . I was turned by those vampires , but I fell in love with you , William ! I did it all for you ! They promised to leave me alone if I succeeded . Williams response was ice cold . Who do you think you are ? I already had Caitlin . Why would I ever want you ? His voice grew harsher . If it werent for you , Caitlin wouldnt have died . We would still have our child . His rage consumed him as he raised a silver pistol , aiming it at Lucys head . Go to hell and make amends . The gunshot echoed , but Lucy remained unharmed . Instead , William crumpled to his knees , tears streaming down his face . The moonstone ring Lucy was wearing shattered , its magic protecting her from a deadly attack . William stared at the fragments , his grief overwhelming . If only he had given Caitlin this moonstone ring instead of a diamond one . If only he had protected her when she needed him most . He stumbled home , clutching the diamond ring she had left behind . It was their wedding anniversary the third one . She had promised a surprise , and now he realized what it had been . The baby . Their baby . Chapter -But he had killed her . Killed them both . No one blames me , he whispered bitterly , but I know the truth . I killed Caitlin . He searched their home for traces of her , his heart breaking anew with each reminder . Dont be afraid , my love , he murmured to the empty room . Im coming to you . He loaded a silver bullet into the gun , place the diamond ring near his heart . As he raised the weapon , a growl reverberated through his mind . Stop , William ! his wolf , Lorne , snarled . Youve lost your mind ! Dont you feel it ? The bond isnt broken !
