Chapter For A glimpse of the batter
We spent the night in the forest, under the stars. I loved every second spent with him. The next morning, we walked side by side. But our peaceful morning was disrupted by Mia’s
accusations.
Mia’s eyes blazed with jealousy as she stood before us. “Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The two of you, cozy as can
- be. Samantha, I should have known you’d fucked him earlier,
you pretender!”
I was as stunned as Theo. Daniel and Evelyn gathered around,
drawn in by the tension. Mia was about to hit me when Theo
interacted, his voice commanding.
“Enough, Mia! Samantha has done nothing wrong. You will not
accuse her of such things.”
Mia looked insulted and lashed sharply with her tongue. “And
who are you to defend her, you pathetic omega!”
Theo’s eyes flashed and even though I wasn’t the one being
scolded, I shivered. “I’m her mate, and I will not stand for your
lies.”
Mia’s accusations died on her lips and her mouth gaped in
shock.
I was taken aback by Theo’s display of power. My mind couldn’t

register what he was doing. An omega couldn’t possibly possess such strength and authority, could they?
I wondered what cues I was missing. He promised to never lie
to me. I chose to believe him, to trust that he was telling the
truth about his identity.
Without hesitation, I grabbed his arm and quickly, leading him
away from the gathering crowd.
Mia was a mean bitch. I couldn’t bear the thought of Theo being
punished to satisfy her sick pleasure.
As soon as we were alone, I turned to Theo and searched his
face for answers.
“What was that about?” I whispered and looked behind me to
make sure that Mia wasn’t coming after us.
He remained calm, locking his eyes on mine as if trying to
reassure me. “Relax. I promised to protect you, didn’t I?”
When Theo smiled, my heart leaped like a gymnast.There was
more to him than he was letting on. After I led him out through
the back door, I returned to the kitchen and couldn’t stop
thinking about him as I worked.
A fascinating urge to get to know him came over me. It was
probably because I’d never witnessed an omega challenge an

extinguished, and the table wiped clean.
I had finished my work for the night and headed to my tiny. room. Having limited options, I pulled out a simple green dress
from my chest and freshened it up with a quick splash of water and a sprinkle of lavender ointment. When I slipped it on, the soft fabric hugged my body.
But when I overheard the maids‘ gossip in the corner, discussing the recent trial and execution, something pushed me to stop
and listen.
“The omega has been accused of treason. He lied to everyone in the pack and now he wants to marry Samantha. Alpha Eric will personally behead him for daring to touch his daughter.”
My breath grew raspy and I felt tremors in my hands and fingers. I began hyperventilating and could hear the sound of my heartbeat thrashing in my ears.
Theo was in trouble.
