Ascension of a Gamma

Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Broken Promise

– Liam

Her muffled cries seeped past the door. I didn’t understand why she pushed me away, why she was

crying. My chest tightened as I shared her pain. I pounded at the door and pleaded but she wouldn’t let

me in.

I had to tell her something. When Salina kissed me, a switch flipped in my brain and I just had to tell

her.

I pleaded. Her cries grew louder. My heart was tearing itself apart. Who hurt her? Who did this to her?

My baby was crying o n the other side and I couldn’t do anything to comfort her. If only she’d let me in. I

could break it down, but I was afraid of hurting her. I could sneak into the balcony, but I didn’t want to

invade her space,

I didn’t know what to do. I was feeling her pain and I was hurting, too. Why was she suddenly shutting

me out? I could only think of Salina. She must’ve done something or said something. Did she know?

Did she see us? Why else would

Dow? Did she see us? Why else would she be crying?

Baby, it wasn’t anything like that. She… kissed me. I – It was nothing. I swear it was nothing. 1

Goddess, it was me. I was the one who hurt her. I let Salina inside the territory and now she was This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

seeding my baby lies. It wasn’t true. I swear it wasn’t true. Whatever she told you wasn’t true.

I raised my hand to knock at the door again but suddenly lost the strength to. Powerless, I fell on my

knees. Something warm and wet crept down my cheeks. I just kept on hurting her. It was all I ever did

to her. From the moment she arrived here, it was because of me that she kept getting hurt.

I should’ve told her. Luca wanted me to. When I refused, he fought for control, so he could do it himself.

I was afraid, babe. I’m sorry.

I thought everything would be alright now. I marked her, she was completely mine. I told her about my

past, and she accepted me. So why was she pushing me

cepted me. So why was she pushing me away instead of talking with me?

I had no feelings towards Salina. My baby helped me let go of my mate. We were supposed to look

forward to our future now, so why would she trust her words instead of mine?

My legs were cramping. I didn’t count how long I’d been here. It was silent now. She must’ve fallen

asleep = more accurately, cried herself to sleep. Sighing, I got on my feet and stretched my legs. Luca

wasn’t talking to me – he’d been silent since I refused to tell her.

My hand slid along the smooth railing as I made my way down the stairs. This was the first time she

made something for m e, and I ruined it. I was ushering Salina out of the mansion, Anna. I swear I

didn’t want to have anything to do with her. 3

I picked up the box with a cute red ribbon on top of it. Did she want to celebrate something? Was it just

something she wanted to do for me? Either way, it was for me and the night turned out disastrous

because of my mistake.

I didn’t feel like going to my bedroom. It

lidn’t feel like going to my bedroom. It was just a cold, empty space without her. Instead, I made my

way to my office and placed the box on the table.

I really am ajerk.

When I woke up, it was around five in the morning. The day was longer than night, so it was already

bright out. I hadn’t realized I’d fallen asleep. She was usually awake by this time. I left my office to go t

o her room. I had to talk to her. Hopefully, she’d let me.

As I passed by the first floor, I saw an SUV parked outside. Lexy, Gale, and Rigel stood beside it,

blocking my view.

“What’s going on here?” I asked as I neared them.

This didn’t feel right. As I got closer, I saw my Anna inside the car. My chest tightened.

She didn’t even glance at me. The tinted window went up, hiding her from me.

“Anna!”

Ijogged to them, and the three backed away as the engine started. This wasn’t

ay as the engine started. This wasn’t happening

“Anna!

This couldn’t be happening.

Why weren’t they stopping her? Why were they letting her go?

Why are you leaving me?

Just as it reached the gate, it stopped. I felt relief wash over me. Maybe she changed her mind.

The door opened and the driver stepped out – Carson.

In the blink of an eye, he was in my face. A hard punch landed on my cheek, making me lose my

balance a bit. My eyes watered. I could’ve stopped him, but I didn’t. I deserved it.

“Stay the fuck away from her!” he yelled.

When I raised my head, he’d already shut the door and the car was now quickly disappearing from

view.

I had to talk to her. She had to listen. It was nothing. It meant nothing. I couldn’t even think what’d

happen to me if she

an think what’d happen to me if she was gone.

I took a step forward, ready to shift into Luca when someone’s arm bumped my chest. I growled. This

was a bad time to mess with me

Luca was awake, furious at me, and anxious to get his mate back. I ignored Gale and focused on Luca.

I didn’t have time for their games. My mate was fucking leaving, and they stood by and let it happen!

“Don’t,” he said, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I growled. Shrugging his hand off, I was about to shift when Lexy interrupted.

“Leave her alone.”

I ignored her. Shifting into Luca, I immediately sprinted, but they blocked m e. Rigel shifted into his wolf

and with those two beside him, they blocked the gate. If that was how they wanted to play

gemmer me.

What the fuck!

Luca growled at him, warning him to back off but he instead growled back.

“Don’t make me do this, Gamma!” I shouted in the mind -link.

“You made me do this, Alpha!” he snapped.

I was wasting time. They were provoking me. I was about to run past him when Gale blocked my way.

He had shifted into his wolf and was snarling at me. He’d never gone against me – so of all times, why

now?

“Let her go, Liam,” said Gale.

Luca growled at the two of them. “Do not defy your Alpha!”

“I will defy you for you have wronged my Luna!” shouted Gale.

That took me aback. He’d never taken a stance on me before.

“I need to talk to her, Gale! Fuck off before I hurt the two of you,” I warned.

“Let her go,” said Lexy, going between

Det her go,” said Lexy, going between them.

Luca whimpered.

She was crying… our little sister was crying. Neither of us could stand it when the tears fell. I

immediately shifted back and went to her, still more anxious about Anna

The two shifted back, too, and stood beside her. She was our little sister. We hated seeing her cry.

“I believed in you, Liam,” said Gale. “I don’t think I made the right choice.”

He started to walk away with his head down.

“You know I really want to punch you right now,” said Rigel. He had his hand balled into a fist and a

look in his eyes that was just… tired. “But it won’t bring her back. I’m calling the investigation off.

There’s no point in it when you’re banging your ex-wife’s sister.”

His words made my blood boil. Lexy kept me from killing him right then and there. I never touched

Salina! It got really close that day, but nothing happened, ever! I

at day, but nothing happened, ever! I wouldn’t betray Sarina.

“We all love Sarina. I still miss her too. I miss Samila. And I’m so, so sorry that you lost them. I

sincerely believed that you wanted to take your second chance seriously, but I was wrong. You have to

let her go, Liam,” said Lexy, raising her eyes up to me. I held my breath. “They’re with the Goddess

now. Anna loved you, bro. How could you…”

[KET-I didn’t, Lex. If I could just – ”

“Just stop,” she breathed, cutting me off. Touching my cheek, she looked me right i n the eye. “I feel

like I don’t know who you are anymore.”

“Let’s go, Lexy,” said Rigel, holding her arm and tugging her away.

They went past the gates, ignoring me Ignoring the pain that stabbed at my heart repeatedly. I watched

their backs slowly disappear. I watched her leave

You promised me you’ll stay beside me forever. You promised me you’ll never leave me. You told me

you love me. Is this how you show love, Anna? I’m hurting

w you show love, Anna? I’m hurting here. No one believes me and I’m missing you. I’m sorry. I thought

it was enough to make you feel loved. I thought my feelings were getting through to you. I was wrong. I

was wrong because you still left me. I’m sorry. I’ll shout it loud for the world to hear. So, please come

back. I can’t lose you too…
