Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Forty Seven Chapter Forty Seven **Anonymous Narrator POV** Trent Dawn had always believed he would live a long, fulfilling life-one where he'd watch his daughter grow, fall in love, and have children of her own. But life rarely goes as planned. Now, here he was, lying on his deathbed, awaiting the inevitable.

His pack was gone, so was his daughter. Everything he had spent his years building was no more, he had given it all away, but he had no other option, he only wished his daughter could understand one day that he did all these for her.

A female healer was the only one left to tend to him for the little the had left.

He heard footsteps approaching. It wasn't yet tfor the healer's daily medications. He looked up, staring at the blurry figure. His eyes were weak, but he knew exactly who it was. It was the very person he was trying to save his daughter from. His ex-mate, Cynthia.

"You are a very strong man, Alpha Trent -or perhaps I'll call you Trent, since you are no longer an Alpha." She said mockingly, but he remained silent. "I actually thought you would be dead by now, but of course, you aren't, the poison hasn't killed you yet." "I have nothing to offer you, so why are you here?" "True. You don't have anything to offer me." She said, staring around. "What a shame. A few years ago, no one would have believed that your nand pack would be wiped off the face of this earth," she said, feigning pity. He couldn't see her clearly, but he knew there was a smile on her face. She thought she had won, but she didn't. "Kaida is beyond your reach, you will never be able to harm her." "That's why you sent her to the Alpha King isn't it? You believe he would be able to protect her, even more than you ever could." "She is safer with him." "You know, I saw her a few days ago, she had grown into a true woman." Trent tried to hide the sudden unease he felt; he didn't like this woman anywhere close to his daughter. "Stay away from her, you hear me? Stay away!" "I will kill her, just as I did her mother. You will not be able to do anything about it; you know why? Because the dead have no power." "I am sorry... I am sorry for everything I did to you," he said, and he meant it. But this woman had cut off her ability to feel; hatred had beca living, breathing part of her.

"She was my friend, Trent. My best friend and you were supposed to be with me, but you chose her, why?" "I-Hoved her." "But you were MY mate, you belonged toand yet, you chose my own best friend over me, you rejected me. You know, I thought you were a good person, people sang good songs about you, if only they knew the true you." Trent Dawn had regretted that day. He had been a fool in love, he loved two women but he loved one more. These two women were best friends and what he felt for them would destroy their friendship. He made his choice as he wouldn't lead them both on, but he hadn't picked his fated mate, instead he had picked his heart's choice and made her his Luna, stripping his mate of her right and giving it to Lydia - her best friend.

1/2 Chapter Forty Seven +25 BONUS Trent lived every single day with guilt. When his Luna, Lydia, was pregnant with her first child, his ex-mate Cynthia made an appearance, promising him that she would be his downfall.

Cynthia had made a pact with the god of light, sacrificing her body and soul in exchange for power-power so great that she could exact revenge on her mate and best friend for the evil they had done to her.

The healers believed that Luna Lydia had died during childbirth but Trent knew that it wasn't just that, he believed his ex-mate was involved. She hadn't stopped at that, she swore to take his life too and when she got the chance, she poisoned him. Nothing could cure the poison she had inflicted upon him... Not even the Healer's lilies.

Trent realized then that he had made a huge mistake. Driven by his selfish desires and choices, not only had Lydia died, but the entire pack had to suffer for his mistakes. He had been forced to send off his daughter to the Alpha King, knowing the rumors that swirled around him. It was too late to make a different choice; the hand of the clock could not be turned back.

"You've cto take my life. Whatever you have to do, do it fast." "Does she know? Does your daughter Kaida know the truth about her father?" "No, she doesn't." "You were never brave enough to tell her, and now you'll never have the chance to say it to her face." Little does the woman know that somewhere hidden in the building was a letter Trent had left for his daughter, a letter that would reveal every single secret he kept hidden from her, but the only question was... would she ever find it? / 13 A N Chapter Forty Seven +25 BONUS Trent lived every single day with guilt.
