Chapter Text
He didn’t flinch, he didn’t reply. He didn’t say a word when Isaac stormed out. He tried to tune out Peters commentary. He didn’t want to know.
It stung. Every word that had been said, had stung, had pierced straight into his soul like a knife being stuck into his gut and then twisted. It felt like his soul was bleeding. He didn’t want this. Why would he want this?
He didn’t enjoy sitting on the side-lines –which was what Isaac basically said- nor did he enjoy to find out who Jennifer really was. Or Julia. Why would he like watching people die and not knowing who is doing it to later find out it was the woman you trusted, the woman you shared your bed with?
Jennifer had hurt him, hurt him so badly and it made him remember. He didn’t want to remember, he had to focus on Cora, but he did. He had never felt so lonely, even if there were so many people walking around on planet Earth right now. It felt like he had nobody.
The only three persons he had left, were leaving him as well it appeared. Peter he never really could trust, not after he murdered Laura, not after he used Derek to come back from the dead. Isaac had just left him, most likely for Scott, the guy he had been following around already anyway. And Cora, Cora was dying in front of his eyes and he couldn’t do anything, there was nothing that could help her. The only option was to go and find Jennifer, but he didn’t trust her, not anymore. She swore to help them, help Cora, yet she betrayed them like it was nothing. He couldn’t trust her again, never in his entire life.
And just when he thought everything was lost, Peter made a suggestion, a suggestion that changed everything. He could save her, he would save her, even if it meant giving up his Alpha status. He would become a Beta again as long as it meant he could keep Cora around for a little longer. He would sacrifice it, everything, as long as he could keep her, how egoistic it might sound
He felt her pain, he felt it throughout his whole body. He felt like dying, like he was the one who was slowly being killed from the inside out instead of Cora. But he would go on, he would, even if it ended in his death.
He deserved death after all. He only suffered and lost everything, his family, because of him his family died. He deserved this, he really did.
He felt the Alpha slip away and the Beta –Omega- return. His sacrifice.
