Terra P.O.V
"Get out of here, Terra!" Damian's voice stabbed through the silence like a jagged blade; every word dripped with venom. His hands shoved me away harsher than he ever had before. I stumbled and staggered, trying to keep my balance, but another shove, and I sprawled on the cold marble floor, that floor we had so carefully chosen together.
It now seemed to mock me, reminding me of every hope, every dream we'd built that was crumbling around me.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. The condo we had spent so much time agonizing over, designing for our future together, had become a jailhouse, suffocating me in betrayal. I had trusted Damian without question, planned our wedding, and believed we would never break. But the cruel truth now stared me in the face—the unbreakable bond in my trust was broken.
Damian loomed over me, cold and detached. Of course, he wasn't part of the pack like me. Of course, he never had been. I'd known that since the beginning. But I had always thought it didn't matter. I'd been wrong. I was an Omega wolf, and it seemed that I could never prove myself. Damian was the one who was supposed to look beyond all of this. In his eyes, I should have a place he wanted to call home and a future he wanted to spend with. Now, however, he was the one threatening to remind me just how very powerless I was.
"Please, Damian." My voice cracked, thick with tears that I couldn't hold in anymore. "You promised. You said you'd love me forever. Just tell me this isn't real. Tell me you didn't mean it."
He looked down at me, his eyes once warm and full of love, now cold, indifferent. "I am not yours anymore."
Those words were the harder blows that any smash could ever be. The pieces of my heart, too small for assembling again, shattered on the rock of his indifference. He wasn't breaking up with me; he was killing our life, the future we would speak of day in and day out.
"And now, leave before Loraine sees you," Damian said flatly, emotion-free.
Loraine. The name alone made my blood boil. Two weeks ago, I had caught them together, sharing a kiss that made me feel invisible. Until that moment, I thought everything was okay between us. What an i***t I had been, so mistaken.
"You'll regret this, Damian! I swear to god, you'll regret this!" I shouted, with my voice raw and hurt and my rage churning inside. I stormed out of his condominium, wiping away my tears because my blurred sight wouldn't let me see more. The weight of the burden of betrayal sat hard against my chest as if threatening to crush me.
Outdoors, Bryan was already waiting by the gate with his face etched in a mixture of concern while seeing me. I tried to calm myself down, but the swollen eyes and the trembling hands showed otherwise as I attempted to wear a mask of calm.
"Did you find out?" I asked tremulously, my voice desperate for answers.
Bryan's lips were set into a thin line. "Yes, and you're not going to believe what I found out."
"Just tell me!" I exclaimed, my patience worn thin by everything that had happened.
"Damian is the son of Alpha Delton," Bryan revealed, the words falling like stones.
My heart stopped. What? Who is that?
"Bryan took a deep breath. He's the Alpha of the Lunar Pack, one of the strongest packs in the region. Damian never told you?"
"No," I gasped, incredulity making my voice hollow. "He said he didn't have any other family. That he was homeless."
For an instant, everything spun out of control. He was the future heir to one of the most powerful packs around, not just some guy I had fallen in love with. Why didn't he let me know? And what was the meaning of it now?
"I need more information, Bryan," I said, trying to collect the shards of my composure. "I have to know where his father is."
Bryan hesitated. "Terra, are you sure about this? Maybe it's better to walk away."
But I couldn't. I wasn't ready to let go—not without knowing the full truth. "I need to do this. Just find out where his father is."

That night, I lay in bed and stared at my phone. Every picture of Damian and me was a knife to the heart. Reliving all those memories, love, laughter. How could he change so much? Was this all a lie, or was there something else that led to all this, something he wasn't telling me?
I wasn't going to let him push me away. Not like this.
Still, I was determined. I dressed in my boldest outfit: a red dress that hugged my curves and heels that made me feel powerful, although my heart felt broken. I wanted to confront Alpha Delton father of Damian. Someone should know, and he would probably be the one.
This might sound too desperate but I don't care I love Damian! I will get him back!
I dialed Bryan's number. "Take me to the Midnight Bar," I said, speaking clearly for the first time. "I heard it is Alpha Delton's bar."
Bryan paused. "Are you sure?"
"I have to do this, Bryan."
Brayan arrived in just five minutes after we end this call.
As we drove up to the bar, my stomach churned with a storm. The Midnight Bar was rich and full of people in charge who didn't hesitate to show it. I strode inside and scanned the room for any sign of Alpha Delton.
But before I could get very far, a man approached me. His leer was predatory, his hand gripping my wrist. "Hey, sexy! Dance with me," he demanded, pulling me closer.
“Sorry but I am not interested.” I sway may both hands showing that I don’t. This guy wi ruined my plan if he stay here more but he didn't stop.
"No, let me go," I said, trying to pull away, but his grip tightened.
Before I could react, another voice cut through the noise. "Let her go."
He released me immediately and a shiver of fear crossed his face. I scanned my surroundings to know who it was speaking to. He was much older, yet with the same tough, authoritative aura about him as Damian.
"Are you alright?" he asked now with a softer voice, yet still with that air of authority above the words.
"Yes," I croaked out, my voice barely above a whisper.
“And you are?" I asked, my eyes narrowing, already assuming the answer. I was shocked seeing the similar face of the man I love. He’s not Damian but they look very similar.
"I am Delton, the owner.” he replied softly.
I froze. Delton. Damian's father? The Alpha!?
