The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Chapter 61: Anabel's Confession 

Anabel's POV:

Ever since Ted had been taken away and sent to prison, my life had been much better.

There was no longer a need for me to be afraid of Ted coming home drunk and beating me up every night.

I finally had the freedom to do a lot of things I wanted without fear.

One thing that I discovered about myself was that I could actually live without Ted.

He always told me that I could never live without him.

His violent words and actions had hammered into my head the illusion I was helpless and dependent.

Now that Ted was gone, I had never been so relaxed before.

I wished life would always be like this now peaceful, not having to worry about Ted ever coming back.

One day, after clocking out of work, I walked out the hospital and came to the basement parking lot.

When I was about to get in my car, I saw a man suddenly rush out from the side and wave his fist at me with a furious look on his face.

"You bitch! Slut! I'm going to kill you today!"

My body immediately shrank.

I knew full well who that voice belonged to.

It was Ted! How did he escape? Just then, I remembered that I was no longer the same weak, helpless woman I used to be.

I didn't know where I got the courage from, but I transformed into a wolf and immediately dodged Ted's first punch, knocking him down to the ground in the next second.

"You...How dare you hit me?"

Ted never expected that I would retaliate.

He was so angry that he rushed at me again and cursed me.

Realistically, I knew that my strength was no match for his.

I had to run away.

I turned back into human form, rushed into my car, and drove out of the parking lot as fast as I could.

Ted was stunned at first, but from my rearview mirror, I saw him climb into his car and chase after me.

He was driving his car recklessly, almost hitting the back of my car several times.

I had to speed up and lose him.

Although I no longer knew which way I was going, I knew I needed to get rid of him.

Our cars sped along the road and soon we arrived at a mountainous road.

To my right, the road was gone and all that was there was cliff-side.

The other side sloped down into a deep valley.

Suddenly, the road had gone into a sharp turn and I wasn't able to slow down my car.

With a loud crash, my car smashed into the guardrail and rushed off the road.

The impact had slowed down my car, but its front end was past the guardrail, dangerously hanging in the air.

I was about to fall, and the valley below looked to be at least dozens of meters deep.

I was absolutely terrified that I could hear my heart beating in my ears.

A few moments later, another loud noise came from behind me.

I looked at the rearview mirror and saw Ted's car also speed out of control, except his car only swerved toward the inner side of the road, crashing onto the hillside.

It was a less serious collision than mine.

I looked away and abandoned any care for Ted, because I had my own problems to worry about.

My car was beginning to slide down to the valley.

I reached for my door but found that it was stuck.

I tried crawling to the backseats, but as soon as I shifted my weight, the car tilted even more.

Desperate, I did not know what to do anymore.

I looked down at the valley and measured my chances.

It was impossible for me to survive this high of a fall at all.

Was this how I was going to die? Regrets started to fill my heart.

At the top of the list was the day I refused to accept Nelson.

If I hadn't done that, I probably would not be in this position.

My phone was within reach and I dialed Nelson's number, but he did not pick up.

I decided to leave a voice mail instead.

"Nelson, I changed my mind.I'm not afraid of anything anymore.If I survive this...I will move on from Ted and be your mate..."

I was probably making no sense, but I didn’t care.

I put down my phone and cried as I watched the car gradually tilt down and finally, it slid down the steep valley.

Nelson's POV:

Alpha had been saved at last, and so had the werewolves and vampires who were kidnapped.

Luckily, our werewolf team in New York suffered almost no casualties.

All thanks to Luna.

She planned everything in such an intelligent manner.

Right after getting back home, I went straight to work, dealing with some official affairs.

I had been away from the pack for quite some time, and I missed Anabel.

As soon as I was finished with work, I couldn't wait to see her.

I took out my phone.

I was about to dial Anabel's number when I noticed that there was a missed call and a voice message from her.

I listened to the voice message excitedly, but my heart dropped as soon as I heard the beginning.

Anabel was in trouble! I tried calling Anabel back, but no answer.

I then called her coworkers, but nobody knew where she was either.

Anxiety began to grow in my heart.

I knew I needed to find her immediately.

I went to her home, only to find it empty.

I went to the hospital she worked in and checked the surveillance footage.

In the parking lot, I saw Anabel get attacked by Ted.

Anabel drove out to escape, but Ted quickly followed after with his car.

I was furious.

Instantly, I knew Ted had something to do with whatever happened to Anabel. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I swore when I would see that bastard again, I was going to skin him alive.

Just when I was about to call the police to report this, I received a call from the traffic police themselves.

"Hello sir, do you happen to know a lady named Anabel? She got into a car accident.We saw on her phone that you were the last person she tried to contact before she fell into the valley."

My heart stopped beating for a second.

I opened my mouth but no words came out of it for a moment.I swallowed the lump in my throat before finally finding my tongue.

"I...Yes...I know her...How is she? Is she alive?"

"Her car slid down the road and fell into the valley.Fortunately, there were enough trees in the middle of the cliff to break her fall, so it wasn't a direct impact.She is still badly hurt, though.We have already called an ambulance.By the way, sir, what is your relationship with her?"

"I'm her mate,"

I answered without any hesitation in my heart.

The traffic police gave me the location of her hospital and I rushed there as fast as I could.I entered a room and saw Anabel on the hospital bed.

Her legs were plastered, and many parts of her body were heavily bandaged.

Anabel was still weak, but when she saw me come in, she burst into tears.

"Oh, Nelson!"

I carefully embraced Anabel in my arms and comforted her, "I'm sorry I was too late, but you're okay now.I'm here.You're safe..."

"Nelson, I...I don't want to live alone anymore.I want to move in with you."

"Okay, as soon as you recover and get discharged, I'll help you move in."

"I want to be your mate, Nelson."

"I'm planning our Mate Ceremony right now in my head.We'll hold it as soon as possible."

"Ted...I don't ever want to see him again in my life, Nelson..."

"I promise to protect you forever, Anabel.By the way, where is that bastard?"

"The traffic police told me that they didn't find anyone in his car.He probably ran away."

"Hmm, okay.That won't matter for now, but I'm going to take care of it soon.I promise."

Domestic violence, prison break, and attempted murder! When the leaders would hear about this, Ted would forever be expelled from our pack for what he had done.

I had some scores to settle with that man when I would see him again.He would regret crossing me.
