Chapter CHAPTER 61— A BLAZING FIRE
Jeo glared at Delilah as she walked into the bedroom. “I thought I told you to sleep in the living room.”
“It's cold and empty...I've slept in the living room for two days now, I miss you.”
“You don’t have the right to miss me. Get out...!"
"Jeo I..."
“It's Alpha Jeovanni to you. You don't get to call me what she does.”
Delilah blinked as tears filled her eyes, her arms hugging around herself. “She's gone, and I'm here for you. I'm carrying your child, Jeo...love me.”
“Yeah, you're carrying my child, that's the only reason why you're alive. I don't know what I saw in you. You've always been conniving, I could see the trouble in your eyes, but I ignored it. I thought I loved you...no, I believed I did, but I was just caught up in an illusion, confusing love and attraction.” He sighed. “But what exactly was I attracted to? Quinn had always been prettier, nicer, sweeter... you're the one who came onto me...you're the one who ruined my f*cking life. Get out...!"
Jeo took a deep breath, pointing towards the farmers. “Instead of putting out what the fire already burnt, try stopping it from burning more. Throw the water in the direction the fire is going.”
The pack members got to work and though he gave them the orders, he couldn’t move to help. He just stood there, watching as the flames blinked emotionlessly at him. It was so bright, reaching for the sky and burning away what it took him years to build. He'd known the alpha king wouldn't have just stood back after what he did. He knew he'd seek revenge, but Jeo never guessed revenge would come in such a wicked form.
That man was too malicious and cruel. He'd taken Quinn away from him, and now he'd even taken more. His pack wasn't rich, he doubt he could afford food to serve them for a week, What would he do? Which pack would stretch out a hand to help him?
Clenching his hands and his jaws, he walked towards the borders, scenting out and finding the dead bird, he stooped in front of it. He shouldn't have hurt Quinn, his love life wouldn't have been ruined, and he'd still have the alpha king on his side.
Now, he had nobody to turn to and his pride wouldn't allow him to ask the person who did this to him for help.
He needed Quinn, she was his strength. If she were here, then she'd be able to tell him what to do... But alas, he'd destroyed her, and she'd destroyed him...and he regretted it all.

It's been two days since the farm was entirely burnt down, that along with the small building the farmers usually slept in. He'd tried to get help, reached out to three different packs who instantly declined, he was down to just one pack now; The woodland pack; if they neglected to help him, then he was utterly doomed.
Picking up his pen, he started yet another letter. He tried to make it sound as sincere as possible and even promised to help them in the long run if anything were to happen...
But yet again, he was told the funds are only sufficient enough to feed their pack.
The food was running out, the only thing they had enough of was meat, and that was because they could hunt it...but what in heaven's name would they eat with the meat two days from now?
