Chapter 91 A Plea<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I watched Violet reach for Peggie, ready to tear her dress off.<\/p>\n
Jake stood up at once. He slipped off his suit and threw it over Peggie\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n
His Alpha presence hit the room like a warning. He swept his gaze across the room. His look was cold.<\/p>\n
Those lower\u2013ranking werewolves, who\u2019d been whistling and jeering, went silent at once.<\/p>\n
Someone shoved Violet aside. She staggered, drunk and unsteady.<\/p>\n
red over and steadied her, then turned to Terence. \u201cHappy birthday. The game\u2019s over. We\u2019re leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he could answer, I half\u2013supported Violet toward the door.<\/p>\n
She was so drunk she kept sliding every few steps we took. She looked like she might pass out, so I laid her down on a sofa in the hall.<\/p>\n
I reached for my phone to call a server to help get her to a car when quick footsteps came from behind. A warm hand clamped my wrist.<\/p>\n
I snapped to alert and tried to pull away.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go of me!\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, let\u2019s talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned and stared at him coldly. \u201cJake, there\u2019s nothing for us to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeggie and I are done. If you don\u2019t want her around, I\u2019ll never see her again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s very thoughtful for you to pass her the suit,\u201d I said flatly.<\/p>\n
Jake\u2019s fists tightened. His knuckles went white.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was just an Alpha protecting the weak,\u201d he said. \u201cI swear\u2013this is the last time.\u201d<\/p>\n
I glanced at Violet, half\u2013passed out on the sofa, and felt my patience slipping. \u201cSo what does that have to do with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake\u2019s eyes turned red. His voice grew hoarse.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, I\u2019m begging you. Come back to me. I used to be too proud. I didn\u2019t know how to cherish you. I thought you\u2019d always be there, right behind me. Please\u2013just give me one more chance to make it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
1 froze at his plea.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d known Jake for five years. He had always been proud and distant\u2013the Alpha at the very top of the pyramid. He was used to everyone bowing to him.<\/p>\n
I had never seen him humble himself like this.<\/p>\n

Chapter 91 A Plea<\/p>\n
That was when I noticed the weariness on his face. Faint dark circles showed under his eyes.<\/p>\n
His panic and humility stunned me. For a moment, I didn\u2019t know how to respond.<\/p>\n
\u201cMmm, I don\u2019t feel good,\u201d Violet murmured from the sofa.<\/p>\n
Her voice snapped me back from my thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cJake, we\u2019re done,\u201d I said. \u201cThere was a time when I longed to hear those words from you. But it\u2019s been five years. Even the warmest heart goes cold. Let\u2019s let each other go.\u201d<\/p>\n
His eyes turned cold. \u201cIs this because of Luis?\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n
Even without Luis, Jake and I would never have worked.<\/p>\n
Luis wasn\u2019t the reason I broke up with him.<\/p>\n
Jake\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t Deanna argue with me?<\/p>\n
Did that mean she agreed?<\/p>\n
The idea that she could feel anything for a werewolf like Luis hit me like a wave.<\/p>\n
The thought that she might carry another Alpha\u2019s scent crashed over me in a wave.<\/p>\n
The rage drowned me instantly.<\/p>\n
I gritted my teeth and forced the words out between them. \u201cDeanna, everyone knows Luis and I are enemies. You\u2019re my fianc\u00e9e. Think about it\u2013why would he want to be with you? He\u2019s trying to get at me. He\u2019s just having fun with you. Don\u2019t be stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough!\u201d Deanna snapped. She clenched her fist so tightly her knuckles turned white.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think everyone\u2019s like you?\u201d she shot back. \u201cTwo\u2013timing, never loyal. Jake, the only person you really love is yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at Deanna, brows creasing. She looked like a hedgehog with its quills up, every part of her sharpened. Slowly, the hostility that radiated from her faded away.<\/p>\n
What am I doing?<\/p>\n
How had I turned this into another fight?<\/p>\n
I came tonight to win her back, not piss her off.<\/p>\n
With this, I tried to soften my voice and tone. \u201cDeanna, I\u2019m just worried about you. With Mooncrown Pack\u2019s position in Lycanland, they won\u2019t accept an ordinary Omega. Besides, Mooncrown and Blackcreek Pack from Sudland have old marriage ties. If you get involved with him, you\u2019ll only end up hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her face darkened. \u201cI\u2019ve been hurt enough by you. Do you think your pack ever respected me? Your mother humiliated me too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words hit me like a slap. I stood petrified.<\/p>\n

She had a point. How could I have forgotten? My mom looked down on Deanna too. She\u2019d treated her badly.<\/p>\n
And what did I do then?<\/p>\n
Nothing. Dammit, I did nothing.<\/p>\n
The thought cut at my chest like a dull blade. My heart throbbed with each breath.<\/p>\n

I took a half step closer. \u201cDeanna, give me a chance to fix things. I won\u2019t let you be hurt or bullied again. I\u2019ll change anything you don\u2019t like. Tell me what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s face remained cold. \u201cThere\u2019s one thing you should do. Never show up in front of me again.\u201d<\/p>\n
It felt like someone drove a sword through my chest. Pain flooded my limbs, so much so that they squirmed.<\/p>\n
I wanted to say something, but a server walked by.<\/p>\n
Deanna turned away and told the server to help Violet. Two of them supported the drunken woman, one on each side. Slowly, they walked away without glancing back.<\/p>\n
I watched her walk away and let out a short, bitter laugh.<\/p>\n
In the end, I was the one who had hurt her the most.<\/p>\n
