Fated to the Alpha Who Killed Me

Chapter 65

នគ៤ 80

One of the younger miners had lost complete control, his eyes pure molten gold and his fingers transformed

into razor–sharp claws. He had lunged at the nearest target–me–and those claws had torn through the skin

and muscle of my upper back near my neck. The pain stole my breath and made my knees buckle.

I staggered forward and felt strong hands catch me, Daemon’s arms coming around me with shocking speed.

He half–carried me into the car, his movements urgent, and then his voice cut through the chaos in a roar.

Through the haze of pain I was dimly aware of Daemon leaving my side, of sounds of brutal violence as he

attacked whoever had hurt me.

I don’t know how much time passed before I surfaced again. Hospital smells. Sterile white walls. Steady

beeping. And my mother’s face, Eleanor’s eyes red–rimmed as she gripped my hand. “Sweetheart, you’re

awake,” she said, her voice breaking. “Thank the Goddess.”

I tried to move and immediately regretted it as pain flared across my shoulders and neck. Evan materialized

at the foot of the bed. “Three deep lacerations on your upper back and neck area,” he said clinically. “You’re

lucky–if you hadn’t been getting into the car, those claws would have hit your skull.”

Eleanor made a sound that was half–sob, half–growl. “That bastard Daemon! Why did he take you to such a

dangerous place?!”

I tried to speak, found my throat dry. “Mom,” I managed weakly. “Will the scars be long?”

Eleanor’s expression crumpled, caught between wanting to cry and wanting to shake me. But then her face

settled into something fierce. “Scars are badass, sweetheart,” she said firmly. “Like getting your ears pierced

-it’s just body art. You’re alive. That’s all that matters.”

The door opened, and Daemon entered carrying fruit and flowers. His eyes found mine immediately,

something flickering in their depths before his usual mask settled. “How are you feeling?”

I felt a laugh bubble up despite everything. “Well,” I said with dark humor, “I can’t lie on my back for you to

fuck anytime soon, but I can still ride you if you’re desperate.”

Eleanor made a strangled sound while Daemon’s expression went blank. He set the items down carefully,

not meeting Eleanor’s furious glare. “The wolf who attacked you has been detained. I need to go back to

handle the aftermath.” He left without another word.

Eleanor immediately turned on me. “What are you doing? Didn’t you say you’d let go?”

“Mom,” I said seriously. “Being fair and being in love are two different things. Daemon went there to

negotiate. I went as Executive VP because that’s my job. Being attacked was an accident–that wolf lost

control. You can’t blame Daemon for everything.”

The fact that he had shown panic when he caught me, that he had turned on the wolf with such violence,

was honestly more than I expected.

Eleanor sighed heavily. “You’re too kind, Violet. That’s why people take advantage of you.” She stroked my

hair gently. “I haven’t told your father yet. He’s on a business trip. If he knew, he’d fly back and go to

Daemon for an explanation.”

Eleanor shifted the conversation. “You’re at Blackwood Dynamics now,” she said with forced brightness.

“Learn as much as you can.”

I managed a tired smile. “So I’m like a corporate spy?”

“Smart girl,” Eleanor laughed. “Those skills will be useful when you come back to Goldcrest Industries.” Her

expression grew serious. “I hope you’ll take over the company someday, Violet. But ultimately, you being

happy is all that matters.”

Something warm bloomed in my chest. In my previous life, I had these amazing parents, every advantage,

and I threw it all away for Daemon. What a fool I was. “Thank you, Mom,” I whispered. “For everything.”

Eleanor left briefly to get food, and I was alone when the door burst open. Sienna stormed in first, her red

hair wild, followed by Jade and Lily. “What the hell happened?!” Sienna demanded, taking in my bandages.

“We heard you were attacked!”

Jade rushed to my side and gently took my hand. “Does it hurt?”

I managed a weak smile. “I’m fine. Just got scratched on the back.” I explained briefly–the trip to Ironridge,

the failed negotiation, the young wolf who lost control. “I was getting into the car when he attacked from

behind. Wrong place, wrong time.”

Sienna’s expression darkened. “I’m telling you, Daemon is bad luck for you. You need to break the mate

bond ASAP.”

Jade nodded.

I smiled at them, trying to ease the tension despite the pain radiating from my back. “I’m fine now, really.

Stop worrying.” I shifted my gaze to Lily, noting she seemed steadier than she had right after losing the

baby, some of her natural resilience returning. “So did you go to Blackwood Dynamics with the video like we

planned?”
