My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 30

Darius Stormraven refused to accept that I was gone . He rejected the thought that I had boarded that plane .

Jumping into his car, he slammed his foot against the gas pedal , tires screeching as he raced toward the search team . He needed answers . He needed confirmation .

But after barely passing two intersections , his grip on the wheel tightened , and without thinking , he jerked the car to a violent stop by the side of the road .

His hands balled into fists , and before he could control himself , he struck his own face -once , twice - sharp smacks echoing in the silence .

1/8

This was on him . The staged accident . The forced procedure . Every single betrayal .

I had already been weakened . A fully capable wolf might not have survived a crash like that - so how could I have ?

His breaths came in uneven gasps as he yanked out his phone and opened our old messages .

My profile picture stared back at him , frozen in time . Smiling .

Like I was still here .

Darius Stormraven's fingers hovered above the screen before finally brushing over my image , tracing the contours again and again . It was the only thing that made it feel like I hadn't completely vanished .

2/8

The last message was from two days ago . That night , he had sent a long text explaining the Pack gathering , his words laced with false warmth .

I had never responded .

I always responded before . No matter what .

His messages had always been pinned at the top of my screen . I never ignored his calls .

When had that changed ?

He hadn't noticed .

But now , looking back , realization hit him like a silver dagger to the gut . It started after the accident .

He scrolled up . Five years of anticipation ,

3/8

excitement , and blind trust stared back at him .

[ Darius Stormraven , do you think this dress looks good ? I want something sparkly .

My long legs deserve to shine . ]

[ What about this bonding ceremony photo style ? Let's print them out and display them at the Packhouse . I want the entire Pack to see how happy I am - with an Alpha who loves me so much ! ]

[ The ring I picked out last time feels a little loose . Should I exchange it ? Or are you still planning that surprise ? Didn't you say you designed the ring yourself ? You're the sweetest . ]

But he hadn't designed a ring for me .

It was for Selina Raventhorn .

4/8

The dresses . The ceremony arrangements . They had all been meaningless distractions , meant to keep me occupied while he continued to feed me deception .

For five years , I had held onto the dream of that day , believing Darius Stormraven cherished me as much as I adored him .

But he had been deceiving me from the very beginning .

And I had been a fool .

Darius Stormraven's vision blurred as he scrolled through our old messages , each one filled with my joy , my unwavering faith in him .

His chest tightened , breath growing shallow .

5/8

Tears splattered onto his phone screen .

Desperation overtook him . He started

typing - frantically ,

feverishly - confessing ,

pleading , apologizing .

But when he hit send , only a single checkmark appeared .

I had blocked him .

His pulse pounded in his ears . His grip on the steering wheel turned vice - like as he slammed his foot on the gas , speeding toward the search team like a wolf chasing a fading scent .

But it was too late .

They had found nothing .

No wreckage .

6/8

No body .

Luna Evelyn Darkmoor Winslet was gone .

Or so he thought .

Because at that very moment , my plane was landing in another Pack's territory .

The crash had been a lie . A trap - for him .

Darius Stormraven had wanted me

shattered , helpless , trapped in the elaborate prison of his lies .

So before I vanished completely , I left him with a final parting gift .

At the airport , my best friend sprinted toward me .

But the second she caught sight of the wheelchair , she froze .
