Dantes POV
Nothing felt worse than being demoted from an alpha to an omega and losing your mate on the same day.
I didn’t love my mate, but seeing her on the verge of death when Gabriella attacked her ignited a sliver of fear in me. I wanted things to be okay between Gabriella and me but I also wanted Jocelyn to be okay. I so desperately wanted her to be okay, but I kept ruining things until I lost it all.
The feeling of my heart ripping into two was more than enough for me to never show my face in front of either Jocelyn or Alexander when they announced that they were to be mated.
I felt even more useless when the mating ceremony took place and he marked her. After that, my wolf had chosen to go

completely silent.
“I will never forgive you for losing our mate and everything we lived for,” were the last words he said to me before going completely silent.
A sliver of hope ran through me when I heard that Gabriella was finally going to be released from the dungeons of what used to be my castle.
“If all was lost, at least I haven’t lost Gabriella,” I would tell myself again and again until we finally left.
Standing in front of her after so long, she
didn’t look like the Gabriella that I used to
know.
A nasty scowl was plastered on her face when her eyes took notice of me, and her long hair was now cut short in a nasty
manner.
“Gabriella, I have missed you,” I started but I regretted the words immediately they left my mouth.

“You, you ruined my life! Because of you, I lost my child! I lost my mate! And now I am an outcast to all of society! Even my parents do not want to be associated with me anymore and it is all because of your Dante Alessandro! I hate you, Dante! I hate you so much, Dante! And I curse the day that we met!” She screamed wildly, pointing a finger at me.
I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down. my cheeks. Then and there, I saw the version of Gabriella that Jocelyn always saw and I began to wonder why it took me this long to finally see it.
“You said you loved me and that you
would be with me no matter what happened. What happened to that Gabriella?” I asked still trying to control. the pain surging through my heart.
Gabriella tugged at the ends of her hair as though hearing me speak only amplified the anger that she was feeling.
“I loved you when you were alpha! I loved

you when you had something to offer, but now, you’re just as shameful and as much. of a disgrace as me, if not more! You are now useless, Dante! And you are also stupid if you believe that I would ever want something with you!” She spat.
A few years back, when I was still alpha, I would have wrapped my hand around her throat and made her regret opening her mouth to disrespect me, but I didn’t even have the strength anymore.
“Jocelyn was right. You are nothing but a shameless whore,” I muttered, knowing fully well that Gabriella could hear me.
Gabriella began to scream and curse me even more, but I was too tired to listen. I only walked away from her, knowing that this time I had truly lost everything and that it was all my fault.
Again and again, my mind wandered back to Jocelyn and her new life and I was happy that she was finally getting her happy
