Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Sierra pov.

I looked around, unable to discern my location. It was unfathomable that Alex had chained me up.

I had tried everything, even attempting to transform into my wolf form, but something inexplicably hindered me.

My strength waned, and I could no longer persist.

I tried relentlessly, noticing that the more I exerted myself, the weaker I became.

Since Alex left me here, I had exhausted all efforts to break free. However, the chain only inflicted increasing pain upon my hands with each futile attempt.

As I sat there, awaiting Alex's return, knowing she would come, I remained motionless, blindfolded. Uncertainty clouded my mind, not knowing what fate awaited me or my unborn child.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening reached my ears, signaling her arrival. I remained silent, feeling the blindfold being removed. Slowly, I adjusted my vision to the light in the room and glanced up at her.

"Hi, Sierra. Are you having a good time?"

I couldn't believe she had the audacity to ask such a question. Avoiding eye contact, I cast my gaze downward, filled with resentment for having once considered her my friend.

I could still feel her gaze on me, and I continued to avert my eyes, choosing silence over words.

"Why the sad face, Sierra? Don't you like this place?"

Hearing those words, anger surged through me. I glared at her, my face contorted with rage. I shut my eyes tightly, refusing to utter anything foolish, desperately searching for an escape plan.

"I know what you're thinking, Sierra, and don't burden yourself with futile attempts. You can't escape from here, no matter what you try. You see, I've pretended to be nice for too long, but now I won't hold back. I will ensure that you suffer for all the pain you've caused me."

I looked at her, stifling a silent chuckle, determined not to appear foolish. I had never inflicted any pain upon her, yet she seemed hell-bent on making my life a living nightmare.

"What have I ever done to you, Alex?" I spoke, my eyes reflecting guilt as if I had committed a heinous act. "Why have you chosen to subject me to such cruelty? After all the love and care I've shown you, I can't believe you would treat me this way. I have done everything possible to understand your hatred, but I've come up empty-handed. Why, Alex? I even left Williams for you. What more do you want?"

Asking her that was like asking a question that could only bring painful memories. Looking into her eyes, I could see nothing but pure hatred, and I couldn't comprehend why.

She stood up, walked over to a worn wooden chair, and sat down, her gaze fixed upon me.

"I've already explained the reason why I targeted you, Sierra, yet you continue to ask me. I've tried every possible method to make a man love and appreciate me, but all they do is ignore me. You always seem to have good luck, and I thought that if I made your life a living hell, I might find happiness. I know I took away your alpha status and title, but he still wants you, always thinking of you. Even in your absence, he yearns for you, fueling my anger even more. Today, I'm in a surprisingly good mood, so I've decided to skip the part I initially planned. It's sad that the child growing inside you will soon cease to exist, as I'll ensure its life ends just as you ended mine."

Her words shocked me, and I saw tears streaming down her face. It wasn't my fault that her life had become a nightmare, so why did she want to harm my child?

I struggled to break free, but the chains binding my hands grew stronger, causing me to cry out in pain.

"Stop trying so hard, Sierra. Your efforts will only worsen the situation. Just give up, because this time, I have all the power. I'll make sure no one crosses my path. And as for Nora, she'll suffer the same fate as you after I kill you and your child."

I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak. Alex was planning to kill me and my unborn child. I couldn't believe my eyes; it felt like my entire world was crumbling around me.

"Relax, Sierra. Today won't be the day you die. First, I'll make you suffer, and after I'm done with you, I'll ensure that in your next life, you'll never cross my path or anything associated with me."

She stood up, ready to walk away, but I spoke, stopping her in her tracks.

"I know you hate me, but my baby has nothing to do with all of this. Just let me give birth, and then you can end my life."

I was broken, tears streaming down my face, feeling utterly helpless. I couldn't do anything. Would my child die? What had I done to deserve all of this?

I glanced up, meeting Alex's eyes, and for a brief moment, it seemed like sadness flickered across her face. But suddenly, her expression changed.

"It's pointless to beg, Sierra. You can cry and plead all you want, but what matters to me is my own happiness, not yours. This time, I'll do whatever it takes to find that happiness,"

With those words, she turned and walked away, shutting the door behind her, leaving me alone to weep in despair.
