252-I Lost!
Alpha King Zane's POV:
’No!" I shook my head as her words rang through my ears like a cursed song.
"I don't even fucking want to see your face,’ she yelled, stepping away from me and not even looking at
my face. I wondered what she was thinking. Was she disgusted with me?
’Don’t do this to me," I warned her, shaking in my skin. Every tear she shed was like a drop of lava on
my heart.
What the fuck have I done?
Why did I think she would react like Maura and try to avoid paying attention to this topic?
’You hurt my friend, Zane. She had a fucked up life and all she wanted was somebody to love her, why
did— you hurt her?" She screamed, feeling more pain for Maura than for herself.
How do I tell her that's why I fucking love her?
Because I didn't have a choice back then. You were not talking to me, and I— fucked up. I don't want to
lose you now. Please give me a chance. I will not even talk to her again. "Please, just one chance!" I
mumbled, feeling a salty tear run into my mouth. I didn't know how else to convince her.
’You still don't understand, do you? You didn’t only break my trust; you broke my friend too. You made
her so afraid of losing you that she — ugh!" She screamed and grasped her hair. I wished to tell her not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto hurt herself, but how could I when I had hurt her?
’What is going on here?* Her mother stormed out of the room to stand between us.
’She is ending things with me,* I uttered. I don't want to be with her friend," I explained.
Her mother stared at me from head to toe and then turned to her daughter.
’Stop overreacting. It happened with the Alpha Kings. We have to realize we are going to face
competition, and you are lucky he is choosing you. You are winning without even doing anything, and
you are pushing him over to your friend? Are you insane?" Her mother grabbed her wrist when Beatrice
passed her with a glare full of shock.
’Exactly! I am choosing yo—u." I stuttered, feeling this fear of losing her that I had never felt before.
‘You want me to steal him from her? She is already afraid of losing him. God knows what she will do
when she will realize she had lost this asshole, who doesn't even deserve her,’ Beatrice cried. Her raw
emotions were scaring me. That's when most people make daring decisions.
’And you know what's fucked up? This asshole made it seem like he had no idea where I was when
Maura told him I had been abducted." the way she cleaned her tears and pointed her finger at me while
calling me names, my heart stopped.
I wasn't mad at her; she can do anything for me. But leaving me would be the only punishment I would
not agree to.
However, now she was questioning my love for her.
’Where were you?" Scarlet tried to ask me sweetly, eyeing me to lie. Her mother was on my side. Then
why couldn't Beatrice give me a chance? Everybody makes a mistake once in their life. The difference
is that I was ashamed of what I did and wanted to make things right.
‘I was looking for her, but I was informed five minutes late. I didn't want to admit in front of her that
Maddox won and I lost," I explained, not even lying to her.
I tried my best to find her, but my brother found her first, and that was a huge blow to my ego.
Not everything is about winning or losing, Zane,' Beatrice shouted, slapping her mother’s hand away
once she realized Scarlet was on my side.
’Okay! Whatever you say is right," I agreed to her instantly. She was devastated, and I didn't want to
argue with her.
’Pack your bags; we are leaving," Beatrice told her mother, cleaning her ears and tugging her hair
behind her ears.
’Beatrice! This is not how relationship issues are dealt with. Stay here with me and I will prove my love
to you,’ I tried telling her, but a scoff from her was enough proof that she was not believing me.
‘By that, you mean you will keep me away from the truth and everyone else so that I don't find out what
is going on out there behind my back?" She let out a laugh and clapped: "Well, in your words, you lost
Zane. We are done." She waved her hand at me, tears running down her cheeks like a waterfall.
’Just one chance!’ I saw her grab her bag, and that’s when it struck me. It was happening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she leaves this hotel room tonight, I will lose her forever. I ran after her to snatch the bag out of her
hands, but she wasn't even listening to me anymore.
‘If you don't want to follow me, stay here and rot," she turned to her mother, who was standing there in
shock with her hands over her mouth, and yelled.
’Fine, I am co—mig ’ Scarlet grunted.
‘I will not fail you again," I begged her, coming her way, but she was fighting so hard that I was afraid
she would hurt herself, so I had to step aside whenever she tried passing me.
‘Just once!* I stood in the doorway and begged her. Her eyes traveled up and met mine; the redness in
them crumbled my heart.
Fuck!
What have I done?"
Please!" With my shaky hands, I gestured at her by raising a finger and asking for one last chance.
The intense glare from her and then the sudden, visible appearance of goosebumps on her arms as
she flinched in disgust scattered me.
Without saying a word, she pushed past me and walked out of the room with her mother behind her.
My body began to go numb as I watched her walk away. As she walked away, my vision turned blurry.
Hearing my own heartbeat became difficult.
I wasn't dying. Why?
What is left to live for?
