Chapter 7 I had no chofer hunt to send him a mental link , hoping hed come get me . Even though I loathed him , the rain was torrentiali . and as a werewolf , I had to prioritize my safety . But all he did was snap back . Im busy with pack business . Heres some cash . get yourself home , and dont bother me . His tone was impatient and dismissive . He clearly didnt give a damn about my wellbeing , completely corrupted by power . I could hear the deafening music and Rileys laughter through the link . I was done with him . Hed long since forgotten his sponsibilities as a mate . By the time I got home an hour later . I was soaked to the home . I shivered in the rain , feeling his coldness and utter indifference . Instead , he kicked me lightly as I lay on the sofa , proving I was nothing more than an expendable tool . Riley isnt feeling well ; go make her some soothing potion . My thoughts were like a suffocating web , so I started to move , to speed up until I could break free of the confines of the net . I wanted to be free . When I arrived at the healers clinic , I took off my helmet and went inside . Seraphina , you ride a motorcycle ? Thats awesome ! Want to learn ? I can teach you sometime . Surrounded by laughter and easy banter , I changed into my work clothes , sat down , and open the mental link , starting my workday . The first connection I made was silent . I spoke professionally , Hello , may I ask which werewolf is calling ? The silence continued for so long that I almost thought theyd cut off . Then a raspy , hesitant and pleading voice came over the link . Seraphina … Upon hearing that familiar voice , I gritted my teeth , fury sparking in my eyes , but our healers code wouldnt allow us to sever any psychic link . So , I forced down my anger . Liam , do you understand that you are breaking pack law ? I heard rustling , then a weak voice , Im sorry … I just wanted to talk to you , but you wont answer my links or calls , it was the only way I could get through to you … His voice pleaded , unable to accept that Id left him . I let out a breath I didnt know I was holding . Ive made myself perfectly clear , havent I ? You know Im afraid of the dark , and you abandoned me in Silver Moon Valley . Thank you for that , its completely desensitized me . I wont ever feel fear because of you again . Ive become a stronger werewolf now . If theres nothing else , you can cut the connection . My tone was filled with disgust . I didnt want to say another word to him . My wolf was revolted by everything he was . I signaled to a colleague that I had a harassment call and he helped me sever the connection . I breathed out in relief . You Before I could even ask a question , Liam was rapidly attempting to explain himself , always trying to justify his actions . -Torsaken by My Alpha : The Regret That Came Too Late Chapter 7 I scowled , the anger deep within me began to burn , and my inner wolf began to growl . What do you even want ? Do you understand that by hogging this link , youre preventing werewolves who really need help from getting through ? Do you know that this self pitying behavior could get our pack members killed ? My words were professional , but my anger was bubbling We were constantly connected to the Black Rock Pack guard outpost , so I had reported him before his third attempt . I was not going to let him interfere with my life . I started counting down three … two .. The link was forcibly severed a second later . Hed been apprehended by the Black Rock Pack guard outpost and would be forced to spend three days reflecting at the Arbitrators Council . It was punishment for the misuse of mental links . Fantastic ! 1 was walking to the underground garage , I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise. My wolf sensed a threat . I subconsciously reached for my phone to text Caspian . Just as I was about to reach my bike , a figure lunged out of the shadows . It was Riley . In her hand was a silver dagger . Her face contorted with rage , desperate to use violence to solve the problem . You slut , you dumped my brother , but why do you still have to go and seduce him ? she yelled at me . Her hatred and jealousy were palpable , making her want to rip me apart . And make him cut ties with me ! I sighed and thought to myself , This is not my day . I really shouldve just stayed home . Firstly , Im not seducing him. Secondly , your affairs have nothing to do with me . And thirdly , Ive completed my work , so I need to go home and take a breake . Youre in my way . I said coldly , not wanting to get drawn into this argument ; she was just a puppet of Liams . She slowly moved out of the shadows , holding the silver dagger , her beautiful face twisted into a mask of hatred . I sensed danger , and my fighting instincts kicked in . Today , Im going to slash your face , then see how you will seduce him . She lunged at me with the dagger and , without thinking . I raised my hand to block her. After a short moment , the pain I was expecting didnt come . I hesitantly opened my eye .
