Chapter 54
I tried to steady my breathing but the silence was deafening and all I could hear was my own harsh breathing.
The ground beneath my feet was cold and penetrating my skin. I felt pale and exhausted, as I stood in the dark room, waiting to be executed by my own mate, supported by the very people I have spent my life serving.
In the four cornered room that was suffocating the life out of me, there’s a small window high above and I could see little light seeping in, but it wasn’t enough to illuminate the room
I’m shivering from the cold water that has been poured over my body some minutes ago by a guard immediately I’d been tossed into the room.
After I was addressed before the crowd outside, Damien had ordered the guards to throw me inside this room. After which I was drenched in cold water.
I was forced to wear a very flimsy blue dress that stopped below my h
The rusty door creaks open and I watched Damien step inside the room, a sly smile on his lips.
My heart shatters again. I loved this man and I thought that he loved and trusted me too. How could he not believe that I did not sleep with that man?
man.
It was a fucking set up. Somebody set me up because even I cannot remember how I got to be in bed naked with that
“Damien…” I called, my voice trembling from the cold. I tried to crawl up from the cold wet floor but my bones felt weak and tired.
He walks around me,circulating me, his eyes throwing pity at me. I didn’t understand what that look was for but I’d imagine he would feel the pains that I am feeling right now. Because that’s what mates do. When you love someone, their pains become your pain and their fears becomes yours too.
But the instant he stopped and started to grin at me, realization hit me hard and I knew instantly that there was something absolutely wrong somewhere.
“Oh the little Alpha doesn’t have a clue how she ended up here, does she?” He says with a big grin on his lips “let me spare you that.”
He inches closer until he was squatting in front of me, glee in his eyes as they watched me.
“You didn’t sleep with that man, Olivia. Of course my beautiful beautiful wife wouldn’t sleep with another man….. But you wouldn’t remember how you got in bed with that strange man because I spiked your drink last night, during the banquet party.”
Realization hit me like a wave and my eyes lowered from his face to the ground. Nothing still made sense to me but I could tell exactly where it’s going.
Last night crescent pack had thrown a small banquet party where we hosted some pack members from neighboring packs. Everything has gone well, everything was delightful until…..
…..until I started feeling sleepy after sharing a glass of wine with Damien and decided to retire back to my room. And that was all I remembered at that moment.
“I had help from a beautiful woman, someone I’ve been dying for you to meet,” he whispers close to my slowly standing up and taking two steps back and opening his arm towards the door and adding, “Kira!”

My eyes moves to the door to see a woman walk in, her eyes quickly leaving Damien to watch me, a devilish smile on

her lips, delight glistening in her mischievous eyes,
She plants her slim hand inside Damien’s outstretched own and he yanked her into his chest, causing a soft sensual giggle to escape her lips. And she laughed. And it was all that filled my ears as I continued to watch them.
This woman was beautiful. She was everything that I wasnt. She was blonde and tall. And the ocean blue dress she wore overflowed the ground behind her, a long slit running along the left leg and running up her thighs..
Her face is beautiful, with heavy mascara and eye liners lining out the shape of her big oval eyes, complimenting her bright green eyes.
I watched as her face moves closer to Damien’s and their lips met. My heart breaks and I quickly look away.
No pain has ever cut so deeply like this one. Damien is with another woman? He is cheating on me?
“Hello Alpha.” The said kira says to me, causing me to look back up at them. She has a mocking smile on her lips as she continued to wrap herself in his arms.
“Meet the love of my life, Olivia,” Damien says “thanks to her we were able to spike your drink last night and set you up with that man.”
“You set me up?” I ask him with so much rage overflowing through my entire body, threatening to explode in my chest. I felt sick.
“Ding ding ding.” The woman says mockingly.
“You have been sleeping with another woman?” I ask him, my voice seeming to have taken up a strange base. My voice still trembled, but the pain has given me a strange surge of energy that kept me going.
“I wondered how long it would take for you to finally figure it out,” he says triumphantly as he unwraps himself from her to take a step towards me. “I never loved you Olivia, I only married you because you were the Alpha. I wanted to some day take that title from you and there was only one way to do that,” he ticks his teeth before continuing “thanks to my beautiful kira, I was able to device a beautiful plan to execute you. We wanted to give you an iconic passing. What better way to kill you than the last thing that your people remembers be that you were never a true Alpha, but a filthy slut?”
Before he could say another word, I spit on his face.
“You’re a monster!” I sneer at him, a tear sliding down my eye.
I hear him chuckle under his breath and the next thing I felt was a smack across sending me tumbling back on my face on the dirty floor.

walks out.
A few minutes later, I was getting dragged out of the room by two guards, a long chain binding my hands together and connected to my legs running down on the floor after me.
My head stats to hurt from the impact of Damien’s slap earlier.
As we neared the council room door, I decided I wasn’t going to let Damien get rid of me like this. I am going to expose his ploit against me and the throne of this pack.
The doors pushed open and I was dragged inside the room like some thief. Like I wasn’t just the Alpha that ruled this pack few hours ago and respected by everyone seated around this meeting table.
The room is large with a single rectangular table seated in the middle of the room.
There’s twelve members of this council and I watched every face seated around the table today and all I saw was the

disgust written in theut, and the disappointment evident in their faces.
Damien’s eyes is the first that I see. His icy blue eyes are watching me like a predator watches it’s prey before attack. Right beside him, at the top of the table sat Elder Stephens. Stephens was my father’s right hand man who automatically became my right hand man after my father’s death and the position of Alpha fell right into my palms.
He has always loved me and seen me as a very young daughter figure. He holds a poker look on his face and I couldn’t quite understand if he was disappointed in me too, or if he was sorry for my current predicament.
I was dumped on the floor as soon as we reached the front of the table.
“Olivia Brentwood,” Stephens starts “you have been brought before the council today by a very pained partner, who claims that he have caught you in bed with another man. Now we are not here to ask you what happened…”
“You aren’t even going to hear what I have to say?!” I cut him off, rising to my feet.
“You have absolutely nothing to say to me Olivia,” Damien speaks quickly, his eyes darting darkly at me “I saw everything that I needed to see. I thought you loved me but all this while you were merely using me.
I felt anger. I felt rage. The audacity this man has to pretend so much. Now he’s guilt trapping everyone in this room.
How dare him.
Looking back at Elder Stephens, I point at Damien and said “this man is lying! He is only framing me so he can become the Alpha!”
“That is enough woman!” Billie yells from the other side of the table, obviously infuriated by whatever he believed you are not fit to be our leader anymore!”
Alas, the stereotype that have been placed on women over the years and still now.
I saw Damien give me a sly smile. How can anybody not see him? How can they not see all this lies?
“You have been condemned to dying by the water fall, Olivia,” Stephens speaks, bringing my attention back to him. Still I couldn’t see through him. I didn’t know if he believed any of this or if he was just following protocol. He was always too good at keeping his feelings hidden.
“No…. No,” I start to cry as I try to break from the chains- as if that was possible – hurting my wrists in the process “no, please! You have to listen to me!‘
I watch as every last one of them exit the council room.
I spent the next couple of minutes crying to an unconscious point before being dragged out towards the outskirts of the pack.
At the water fall, every member of the pack is standing by, watching as a bamboo bed was being prepared.
At that moment, I decided to just accept my fate. Maybe this was how I’m supposed to live and end. Maybe this has always been my destiny.
I thought I had completely accepted my fate to die until the guards started trying to lay me back on the bed and strap me to it. I began to fight them but they quickly over power me.
My legs and arms are spread out on the bed and tied tightly so I couldn’t move an inch.
As the bed got lifted towards the water cliff, I saw Damien walk towards me, glee in his eyes. And the sight of him suddenly enraged me again.
Before he could say a word to me, I said with gritted teeth, “you are gonna die, Damien and I’m going to be the one to

I knew I was about to face death and probably won’t be living anymore a few minutes from now, but I didn’t know where I found all that courage from
Damien’s lips twists into a sadistic smile and he responds, maybe in another life. And I will make sure to wait for you.”
And then I felt a strong force take over me as I fell off the cliff
