Chapter 348
Chapter 348:
“Damon said I could visit my parents,” I said, my tone lacking excitement.
Alex let out a small squeal, her excitement filling the room. “That’s good news!” Her voice was full of joy. But as she scanned my face, her expression turned to confusion. “Why are you sad? This is something to celebrate! Are you not happy that you’ll finally get to see your parents after all these years?”
I looked away, worry clouding my face. “I’m excited, but at the same time, I’m scared. I feel like my parents’ reaction won’t be what I expect.”
“That’s silly. Your parents’ reaction will be more than you expect because they know your return is a miracle. Once you become an Alpha’s property, you’re never truly free again, but luck smiled on you. You should be grateful.”
Alex’s cheerful words dispelled the doubt building in my heart. Peace flooded through me, and my fears seemed to vanish as if they had never existed.
“You won’t run away, right?”
Her unexpected question threw me off balance, and I raised an eyebrow in surprise. “I would never do that, not after Damon and I are on good terms, plus we’re mates.” The image of the triplets flashed in my mind.
I owned them. They owned me.
From now on, until forever.
“I’m so excited for you,” she said, pulling me into a bear hug before pulling away shortly. “This is great news. Meanwhile, I have other news.”
My body grew tense with anticipation as anxiety took over. “What is it?”
“Damon has ordered a hunt for Rosa. This time, she will not be spared, and her death will be horrendous.”
“Serves her right!” I added, my smile twisting into a dark smirk. I couldn’t wait to hear her deafening screams from the dungeon whenever she was tortured. I trusted that Damon would make sure she met a gruesome end. She deserved it. “Where is she?” I asked.

“Not found yet, but the Gamma and warriors are working on it. Everyone, including other packs, has been told to be on the lookout. Looks like she won’t escape this time.”
“It’s the end of the evil mistress,” I let out a wicked laugh.
“Yeah. She can keep hiding, but she can’t hide forever.” Alex chimed in, shaking her head in disdain.
I pulled Alex closer, wrapping my arms around her small frame in comfort. “Don’t worry, you’ll be safe. Damon will protect you, and that bitch won’t hurt you. Don’t be scared.” I tried to reassure her, gently patting her shoulder. “You will be heavily protected. It’s a promise.”
“Thank you,” she replied, relaxing into my embrace.
I pulled away from the hug, a smile playing on my lips as I cupped her face in my hands. “Thank you, Alex. Thank you for standing up for me against that she-devil. I wouldn’t have gathered enough evidence against her if it weren’t for you. Damon would still believe I cheated on him. Thank you for shedding light on the truth. I really appreciate it.”
“It’s nothing. I know you were innocent, and it hurt to see you suffer. Plus, I would do anything for my new Queen,” she teased, raising her eyebrows playfully, while I tapped her lightly on the shoulder.
“Stop it, silly,” I said, my cheeks flushing.
The smile on her face faded as she checked her wristwatch.
