Torn By the Alpha to death, he regretted

Every dawn, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains of Alice's ward, alpha Edward would rise with the sun. He'd hurry to the most renowned dessert shop and carefully select the most decadent chocolate - filled pastries, Alice's absolute favorite. In the lazy afternoons, the hospital garden would become their private haven. Stopping by a bed of roses, he'd bend down,plucking the most vibrant, crimson - hued rose and tuck it behind Alice's ear. When the night fell and the hospital was cloaked in a hushed silence, alpha Edward would take his place by Alice's bedside. A thick, leather - bound love novel in his hands, he'd begin to read. If Alice's eyelids started to droop, he gently pulled the covers up to her chin. All the while, I was left alone in my cold, empty ward. Day after day. No one came to visit me until one day, as I was strolling down the hospital corridor, a patient from another ward suddenly stepped in front of me. "Excuse me, miss," "I've noticed you these days, and I was wondering if I could have your contact information?" Before I could even think of a response, I heard a familiar growl from behind. I slowly turned my head and saw him standing there. His eyes were fixed on the two of us, cold and sharp. That night, as I stood by the hospital window, I saw a brilliant display of fireworks lighting up the night sky. I wanted to call the patient from the next - door ward to come and see this amazing sight together. But I never see him again. The day we were discharged, Alice proposed, "Oh, alpha Edward, please! I've been cooped up in the hospital for so long,sick and bored. I really want to go to the bar and have some fun to celebrate getting better. Please take us both along." Alpha Edward nodded. "Alright," "But you have to promise to be careful. You're still recovering." "Thank you, thank you!" she exclaimed. When we arrived at the trendy bar, the air was thick with the smell of spilled alcohol and the sound of blaring music. Everyone's eyes were drawn to alpha Edward and Alice, their hands intertwined. I trailed behind them, feeling like an outsider "Who is this young lady?" a curious guest shouted over the music. "Oh, she. She's just a server here," The atmosphere grew more and more raucous. A well - dressed man approached alpha Edward with two shot glasses filled with expensive whiskey. "Alpha, this one's on me. Your presence here tonight has made this place even more special,". alpha Edward nodded and then, with a wave of his hand, he gestured towards me. "She can have one. " I took the shot glass with a forced smile. Seeing my humiliation, some of the other guests started to join in, making a game of ordering me around. Amidst the chaos, an overweight, middle - aged man with a lecherous grin sidled up to me. "Hey there, pretty thing. Why don't you come and have a private chat with me in the VIP lounge?" he said, his eyes roving over me. I tried to brush him off, but he persisted. "Come on, don't be shy,". In a dimly - lit corner, I could feel alpha Edward's eyes on us. I managed to break free from the man's grasp and made my way towards the quieter rooftop garden. But the man was like a shadow. As I stepped into the rooftop garden, filled with the soft glow of fairy lights and the gentle rustle of potted plants, he closed the door behind us. I backed away, but he was too quick. He lunged forward and covered my mouth with a handkerchief doused in some kind of drug. My body went limp. I was barely conscious as he dragged me towards a small storage shed at the back of the rooftop garden. Just as he was about to push me into the shed, I mustered up all my remaining strength and stomped on his foot. He yelped in pain, and I took the opportunity to break free and stumble into the adjacent stairwell. I found a small nook and hid. My body was on fire, and I knew I had been drugged. In my delirium, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. A tall figure emerged from the shadows. Against the dim light of the stairwell, I couldn't make out his face. Thinking he was a passer - by, I rushed towards him in a panic. "Please, help me. I need someone... anyone," . "Do you know what you're asking?" "I... I can't let him get to me. Please, I'm begging you." "Why look for someone else? I'm right here." As my eyes adjusted to the light, I realized it was Alpha Edward. I tried to push him away, but my strength was gone. "You can't... you just can't," He grabbed my shoulders tightly. "Why can't I? Didn't you say you'd always be by my side? I'm the alpha now. I can have anything I want." Tears streamed down my face. the one I've always loved," I sobbed. At those words,he pulled me close, his lips crashing onto mine in a passionate, desperate kiss.
