Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me (by Sherry) novel Chapter 119

79

“Look, she hasn’t completed a mating ceremony with anyone. You still have a chance if you act now. You’ve

spent your whole life waiting for your true mate. When that person appears, you can’t just stand back. You

have to fight for what you want.”

The silence stretched. When he spoke, his voice was rough. “You’re right. Thank you, Violet. I know what I

need to do now.”

“Good luck,” I said. “I hope it works out.”

After we hung up, I finished dinner and settled on my couch with my laptop. I opened a streaming site and

started a show I’d been meaning to catch up on.

Around ten PM, I gave up on the show and scrolled through social media, checking for news. I tried to view

Celeste’s profile but discovered she’d blocked me.

That stung. We barely knew each other, but the active rejection felt pointed.

I was about to close the app when a message notification appeared from Celeste.

“Luna, I’m so sorry,” it began. “I know you probably think Daemon and I have something going on, but we

really don’t. He’s helped me a lot, and I started to see him as a good friend. Maybe I didn’t keep proper

distance. I’ve been thinking about everything, and I’m so ashamed. I can’t face anyone anymore.”

My hands started shaking as I read the next part.

“My parents still don’t know about this. If they found out, it would destroy them, especially with my father

just recovering from surgery. So I’ve decided to remove myself from the situation. I won’t cause you any

more trouble. Please don’t take your anger out on my parents. Thank you for everything.”

Attached was a location pin: Abandoned Watchtower.

Ice flooded my veins. The border was dangerous–crossing without permission meant death by border

patrols.

I tried to call her, but her phone went to voicemail. My messages showed as undelivered.

Chapter 119

:

My first instinct was to call Daemon. My fingers pulled up his contact, then I stopped. What if this was

manipulation? What if Celeste wanted me to alert Daemon so he could play hero?

79

But what if it wasn’t? What if a twenty–year–old girl, overwhelmed after Victoria’s confrontation, genuinely

felt death was her only escape?

I couldn’t risk it. I didn’t want her dead. I didn’t want her father to lose his daughter after heart surgery. I

didn’t want Ruby to suffer that loss.

I called Daemon. The phone rang four times before cutting off–he’d declined. I tried again, and it went to

voicemail.

Panic clawed at my throat. I paced my apartment, thinking through options. I could call the Council’s

emergency line, but explaining would take time. I could reach Mason or Ruby, but that would expose

everything to Celeste’s parents.

I spent a sleepless night checking my phone, imagining worst scenarios. Every time I drifted off, I jolted

awake with images of Celeste’s white wolf being torn apart by border guards.

By dawn, my eyes were gritty with exhaustion. I’d just stepped into the shower when my phone rang. I

lunged for it and saw Evan’s name.

“What happened?” I demanded. “Is she okay?”

“Celeste tried to cross the border last night,” Evan said, exhausted. “She shifted and tried to run into their

territory. Daemon got there in time to stop her.”

Relief flooded through me. “She’s alive?”

“She’s alive.”

I closed my eyes. “Where is she now?”

“Hospital, Minor injuries. Physically she’ll be fine. Emotionally…” He trailed off.

“And Daemon?”

“Still with her.”

After we hung up, I dressed in comfortable clothes–black leggings, an oversized sweater, simple ponytail. I

made coffee and eggs, then settled at my laptop to work on sketches for a corporate event I’d taken on–a

tech company’s annual gala.

Around noon, my phone started buzzing nonstop. I checked to see what was happening.

The pack’s social media was on fire. Someone uploaded night–vision footage showing two wolves at the

border. The larger black wolf–clearly Daemon–was blocking the smaller white wolf from crossing. You

could see the white wolf struggling while the black wolf herded her back to safety.

The caption read: “FROST PACK ALPHA RISKS INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT TO SAVE OMEGA AT

SHADOWMOON BORDER. Real–life Alpha hero saves his true love. Where’s the Luna? ..

The comments were chaotic. Half called Celeste a homewrecker. The other half romanticized Daemon’s

“selfless devotion.” A few defended me.

My phone rang with our group chat calling. I answered to all three talking over each other.

“I’m going to kill him,” Sienna said loudly. “I’m literally going to challenge Daemon-”

“The video has been shared eight hundred times,” Jade cut in.

“How dare he humiliate you like this,” Lily added.

“Guys, calm down,” I said. “I’m okay.”

“You’re not okay,” Sienna snapped. “Nobody would be-”

“I’m not the dutiful wife anymore,” I interrupted firmly. “I filed for dissolution. This might actually help my

case. The Council can’t ignore evidence this public.”

Silence. “You’re right,” Jade said slowly. “This is documented proof Daemon has abandoned your marriage.”

“Exactly. So let them share the video. Every person who sees it is a potential witness that my marriage is

broken.”

“I still want to punch him,” Sienna muttered.

Chapter 119

:

“Get in line, I replied. “My father called ready to challenge him. I had to talk him down.”

We talked for twenty minutes, cycling through anger and eventually admiration for how I was handling it.

79

After we hung up, I stood at my window looking out over the city. Daemon hadn’t contacted me since that

angry phone call. He didn’t know I’d moved out, filed for dissolution, or where I was living.

I’d become invisible to him, erased the moment Celeste became his priority.

The mate bond ached dully, whispering that my Alpha was in distress, that I should go to him.

But I’d learned to distinguish between the bond’s pull and my authentic feelings. And my feelings told me I

was done answering that call.

My phone buzzed with a new message from Beck

“Hey, heard you’ve had a rough few days. Pack’s doing a Full Moon celebration prep tonight, big music party

at Riverside Plaza. Want to come blow off some steam? No cameras, just dancing.”
