Chapter 126: A losing battle
Dante’s pov
I opened my eyes and looked around the room.
That wasn’t normal at all, the way I slept through the night like that.
I couldn’t hear a thing, it’s like I woke up from death.
Jade’s side of the bed was still clean as if she didn’t even come to bed.
No, I am just overthinking all of this.
Maybe she woke up early to go for a run like she used to.
I tried telling myself everything I could master but one thing remained a fact.
I was still glued to my bed because I was scared of confirming something that I already
knew.
She is gone, isn’t she?
I got off the bed and looked around the room.
She took most of her stuff and left a few clothes behind.
She took all she could carry, I should have known when she started behaving that way yesterday.
She was smiling and laughing, but I noticed that it wasn’t reaching her eyes. I
noticed that she seemed tormented but I didn’t want to believe it.
I wanted to believe that she was finally doing okay.
So I turned a blind eye like some idiot, just so I could feel better about failing her.
I got changed, got my car keys, and headed downstairs.
I don’t know where she was going but I need to do something.
As I walked downstairs all eyes landed on me and I looked at Addison who was on the ground.
She looked up with tears in her eyes and just started sobbing once again.

“I tried to stop her, I thought that I could stop her but she wasn’t even listening to me,” she
said in between sobs.
“Felix and Piers, I want you to look for her. Have every tracker we have to track her down and tell me when they find her,” I said as I was heading out.
“And where are you?” Terrence asked me.
“I am going to look for her, If she contacts any of you, let me know as fast as you can,” I directed everyone.
I turned around to leave but found Sasha standing in my way with a smile on her face.
“Why are you making things difficult for everyone?” she asked me and I looked at her confused.
“This is how it was meant to be, me with you and our little baby,” she said touching her pregnant belly.
“The only reason you are still alive is because of that child. Otherwise, I would have broken your neck a long time ago, Jade shouldn’t have stopped me,” I said and watched as she started chuckling.
“I don’t want your love, but I also don’t want you to give it to my little sister,” she said and I rolled my eyes at this.
“Get to the point you bitch,” Addison said with venom in her voice.
“I am saying that you need to choose, it’s us or Jade,” she explained her hand still on her belly.
“That child might turn out to be like you. I will only accept the child because it’s mine but I want nothing to do with you,” I informed her and she rolled her eyes at this.
I don’t have time for this, the more time we waste the further the love of my life gets.
“Fine, if you go after Jade, then I will kill myself and this child I am carrying,” she said and I scoffed at this.
“Go ahead and do what you want, I am going after my wife. I will bring Jade back to her home even if it’s the last thing I do,” I retorted.
“Well then, if you are going to insist then you will have to bring her back in a body bag,” Terrence suddenly said.
Then it occurred to me that he spoke to me in a disrespectful manner a few minutes ago as

well.
I looked at him and realized that his entire demeanor had changed completely as he was looking at me.
His eyes, the hate in them took me by surprise because this isn’t like him.

“Brother, why would you say such a thing? Why would Jade come back in a body bag?” Olivia asked her brother who scoffed.
“I am not your brother, I am simply borrowing his body for a few days,” Terrence answered
and then chuckled.
“I must say, this body was completely useful the more I think about it. Using this body, I managed to wipe away Jade’s tears last night,” he added with a smirk.
“You are him aren’t you?” I asked him and he chuckled and nodded at this.
I didn’t waste time and threw a punch his way but he dodged it.
In a matter of seconds I was flying towards the nearest wall, he didn’t even put in a lot of
effort.
It was as if to him I weighed less than a piece of paper.
“How I wish I could kill you right now. Just thinking of you touching her,” he said with his
hands on his head.
The way his eyes changed into that of a madman.
I understood why Jade gave him that nickname.
“You touched what is mine, you had the guts to touch what is mine,” he said in a low and menacing tone.
The aura surrounding this man, it’s the kind of aura you feel when you are around people like the Alpha King.
This isn’t the aura of an ordinary man.
I looked at him and I felt completely helpless.
There is no way I can take him on in a fight, not in my current state.
“I like that look on your face. When you finally realize that you are nothing but a spoiled brat with a title. I still don’t understand something, why you?” he asked and then started laughing
like a maniac.

“Why you? You are nothing, you can’t protect her the way I can.
I can protect her, I can grant her eternal life.
What can you do for her?
Nothing, you couldn’t even protect the people she loves,” he said.
I couldn’t talk back because he wasn’t wrong.
I failed Jade, what right do I have to ask her to come back?
It’s a really hard pill for me to swallow but that is the truth.
What can I do for her?
“If you really love her, then stay as far away from her as possible.
If not, I will make sure that I kill everyone she cares about.
And guess who will be to blame?
You, because you couldn’t leave her alone she will lose everyone,” he added.

“Shut up you maniac, we will go after Jade no matter what. We will turn the world upside down looking for her. We will burn it down if we have to,” Addison said and then looked at me
with a smile.
“What I said doesn’t only apply to him, it applies to you loud mouth as well,” Terrence said pointing at Jade.
“Had that lovesick puppy been strong enough, then he would still be alive. Jade left to protect you because you can’t protect yourself. You are nothing but a liability to her,” he pointed out.
“I thought that you loved her, who does this to someone you love?” Mom asked him.
“I do, if I can’t have her then no one can,” he retorted and then sighed.
“I am done with this body and with all of you. You have been warned,” he said and I watched
as some black smoke came out of Terrence.
He collapsed on the floor.
“Alpha, what are you still doing? Let’s go and look for Jade,” Felix said and I shook my head.
“What do you mean by that?” Addison asked me.
“He is right, let Jade go and live her life. There is nothing we can do about her. She has made

her decision, going after her would only result in disaster,” I explained myself.
“What the hell did you just say? You are telling me that you got scared off by his words?” Addison asked me.
Claim
“He was telling the truth, did he lie? We are weak and can’t protect ourselves let alone Jade. It’s futile to fight a losing battle and call off the search for Jade. Those are my orders,” I commanded and got off my feet.
What is the point of fighting a losing battle?
