Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 009
Aveline I sat at a country club among the company of the most loving couple I have ever laid eyes on, Grace and Roy. They are the perfect definition of what I had always wanted my relationship with my mate, Draven, to be. We could have worked towards it and made it perfect. Their relationship is almost what every young lady who had laid her eyes on them wants her own to be like also. They were obviously a couple filled with love who were also mates; their combination was really a match handpicked by the moon goddess herself, while mine was no doubt handpicked by the devil himself instead. I had woken up this morning for the first time in a long while jobless; there was nothing to do, and I was all alone in my home. I could not visit Sabrina in her own home due to the fact that she was far away from home, a thousand miles apart, in another country, engaging in a business matter. Staying alone at home was not an option I was even going to consider at all. If I had stayed at home, th

Aveline Days had slowly turned to weeks and I was yet to find a job. I was qualified for each and every one of them, but Draven just kept getting in the way; he was the only thing that was making me jobless until now.They all kept rejecting me since they failed to see a reference from my former boss, which was Draven; some of the companies I went to even rejected me immediately after I failed to provide a reference from my former boss.I knew that things would be bad but I never knew it would be this bad…or was he doing this on purpose for me to return to him?If that's the case, then it's a big lie, I'm returning nowhere.I'd rather die while looking for a job than return to anything that has to do with him, it was more than a living hell. No one would wish for that kinda life but I just had to put up with it. "What the fuck did he think he's gonna gain from doing this?" I spoke for the first time since I got out of the last company that rejected me. "It should not be difficu

Aveline The constant ticking of the clock had probably woke me up, I was not far gone in sleep actually. I was always thinking about how things were, and it was not even a thing to laugh over. After all, it seems like Draven was right. I don't think I'd be able to get a job without his signature.It's been three bloody whole weeks since I got out from Draven's company and I was yet to secure a job. Lots and lots of jobs were available, huge jobs but Draven was just a pain in the ass. "Damn!" My eyes went wide immediately and I remembered I was supposed to be somewhere today. Well, it might just end up like the rest. They would definitely ask for the same thing again which is the letter, so I guess it'd be great if I just sit here and save my strength. No. No one knows what might happen. I looked up at the wall clock, the time was just six minutes to eight and I needed to be there before nine.I undressed and walked towards the bathroom, the water was cold but soothing, as I s

Aveline There his mom was, seated on one of the two visitor's chairs placed opposite the one that Draven usually sits on. The only thing that separates them is the expensive glass table. I looked past Draven, who was standing in front of me with his palm open and outstretched, like he was waiting for me to place my hands on them, to stare at his mother. If this asshole thinks that I am going to do his bidding just because I came back, then he is gravely mistaken. I just need to complete this deal that I had already started with a huge business company. It was a huge deal that this company actually needs, so it can be my parting gift with them. "What is wrong with you?" Draven's mom stared at me with a slightly pissed expression. Wait!Hold on a minute here; I don't think we are getting the situation clearly. Who is supposed to be pissed here?There is no way she is the one that's supposed to piss; I did nothing wrong to make her pissed, but the same can't be said for her son and

Aveline Take responsibility for something that was clearly not my fault. It was not like I had any other choice than to right the wrong that I did not commit. I was obviously fuming on the way to the other company, whose representatives had left in a bad mood with clearly a bad review about the deal that was supposed to have been finalized by now or a couple minutes ago. I was muttering words that would have seemed incoherent to others and sounded as gibberish if I was in the midst of a large group of people, given the way my driver had been staring at me through the rearview mirror. “Is anything the matter, ma’am? You seemed to be in a very bad mood,” he had asked me five minutes after we left the office. I had simply lied and told him nothing; the lie was obvious. What I had said and the way I was behaving were contradicting each other. He had wanted to push but decided against it and just stuck to glancing at me through the rearview mirror at intervals. The fact that he had

AvelineImmediately I heard it, I turned back to Emily whose eyes were fixed sternly on me. "Do you have any idea that you are delaying me?" She averted her gaze from me and transferred it to her heels.I just smiled and walked away, I had no choice but to bring it anyway. Slowly, I made it out of the door and walked towards the coffee store that was just a stone's throw away from the building exit door. The wind was strong, and I squinted my eyes; my hair came front, but I quickly waved it behind me and sighed. "Could today get any better?"'As I got to the store, a cup of coffee was already placed on the table,e and I picked it up and turned to take my leave when the brown-skinned female greeted me."Good morning, ma'am," it was like her voice was infused with medicine, but the pain in me was just stronger.I halted in my steps and smiled; I was not looking at her anyway. "Good morning, I'm sorry for not greeting you."A light chuckle could be heard behind me, she was the one. "

AvelineDays had passed and I was still treated in the same way. Wasn't there supposed to be a change? Even if it was slightly positive, it wouldn't be bad, but no, things just kept getting worse.I rested my back and heaved a sigh, my eyes still fixed on the paper, it was the true definition of stress and I kept on working on it day and night, I denied myself of sleeping and the only thing that made me happy was all because of I'm so close to getting the deal done.My eyes scanned the room, and it stopped immediately after it got on the clock."Fuck!" I cursed immediately when I saw the time; it was a few minutes past eight, and I had yet to take my bath.No one cared how hard I worked; my death would be the best news to most of them, so all I needed to do was just care for myself while working like a farm animal. Sabrina came back yesterday, and I saw her reaction when she saw me; it was a sad one, but she quickly plastered a smile on her face. She also told me not to worry about

AvelinePutting everything that had happened behind me, I was already preparing to leave, closing off everything that I had started. I don't want to leave here with unfinished jobs that would make it easier to get called back. There was barely anything left, and in two days, I should have been ready and free to leave. That was exactly what I had thought, but it seemed that fate had other plans for me.At that moment, that was when Draven’s company rivals decided to strike. I buried my head in my hand immediately after the rumors started to get rampant, spreading around slowly at first, but the topic of discussion and middle of that rumor was none other than the Alpha, so it didn't take long for it to spread like wildfire. People were interested in this kind of discussion and rumor. It was another source of income for the media, and they seized that opportunity. It wasn't something that they would let slip right out of their palm so easily. The rumor spreading around was something

Aveline Hours after Betty's birthday, I was sitting in my garden under a shade, alongside Sabrina. Betty had gone to school, the maids had come over to clean and cook, and they had all been dismissed; their services wouldn't be needed throughout today.The only service that would be needed is that of the guards who were at the gate. They had been there ever since the day that the news got released, with no dismissal for them. With Kade out there, my life was still in danger; he had threatened me. I need all the security and protection that I can get for as long as I can. “What's up with you? You have been lost in thought for quite a while now,” Sabrina said after tapping me to get my attention. “Really?” I questioned with a slightly stunned expression on my face; the question was a genuine one, though. Truthfully, I had no idea that I had been lost in thought, not until Sabrina tapped me.“Yeah. So, are you going to share what it is that is troubling you?” she questioned.“Obvious

DravenI told Aveline to go inside with Betty while I spoke with Kade and her eyes communicated how grateful she was for my intervention. She must've been so scared to see Kade here after their fight and it pissed me off to see the negative effect he had on her.Things are different now that I have another chance with her and I will not allow another man to threaten Aveline or her child. I couldn't protect them before and I am going to do everything in my power to protect them now."Go on and play in the swing section." Kade dismissed his niece with a soothing smile before pocketing his hands and shifting his attention to me."What the fuck are you doing here Kade?" I began, my expression stiff and unimpressive. "What do you think? I'm here for my niece's best friend's birthday party." He says with a nonchalant smile. "Cut the crap, I know that's not why you're here. And I know that you're being that stunt in there." My voice became raspy as my anger grew."Did something happen in

AvelineI make a swift glance behind Draven to see two serving carts rolling towards us, one was empty while the other was packed with plates and utensils with food in them.The guests were screaming and running out of the way. From the look of things, the carts collided with force and were coming our way. For some reason, I couldn't seem to move. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground. I looked at Draven's face which held a frown.The logical thing to do was to move out of the way but I couldn't -- we couldn't. It was as if we were being controlled by some remote."What's going on?" Draven blurts out and I know that it was as I thought. We both couldn't move.Something with the force of a magnet was pinning us to the ground.The carts roll in so close I think we're going to be run over but just then, strong hands and bodies push us to the side and fall over us."What the fuck was that?" Sofia asked after the carts rolled past us."I don't know." Getting on my feet was strai

Aveline. The day for Betty’s birthday finally arrived after what seemed like a really slow week. A lot of people were invited, and it was hosted in my house. The people that showed their face here were more than the ones that I had invited; some of them were Betty’s friends. I walked around to make sure that everything was in order just before the party started; it was less than an hour away from starting. There was a knock on the door. I watched Sabrina walk up to the door to open it. I didn’t bother turning back to stare at who it was; instead, I continued with my search. The person who knocked might just be someone I had invited or maybe one of the friends Betty had made in her class. “Aveline,” a familiar voice called, causing me to turn back with a smile on my face, one that stretched with a little bit of surprise. Immediately, I saw what she was holding. “Where’s your little girl? I have something to present to her myself,” she said, raising the box of cupcakes in her han

Draven. “Ok then, that would be all for now,” Draven said over the phone to someone who was on the other end of the line. He listened to the person’s reply, pulled the phone away from his ear, and slipped his phone into his pocket. Staring at the view of the city through his floor-to-ceiling window, he spaced out, remembering how the past few days had been. Aveline’s pack members' attack on his pack has finally been halted, and the peace has finally returned, all thanks to Aveline. She had also been the one to deal with the issue that had been trending on the internet, though she had been the one benefitting negatively from it, while it had only had a little impact against him. At that moment, the emotion occupying his heart was that of sadness, due to the fact that he was unable to help at all the past few days. That act was so unlike him; he was known well for always helping out in times like this and also coming up with solutions. The look in his eyes suddenly lit up; immedi

AvelineI cocked my head to the side with a raised smile and an amused expression on my face."Say what now?" I asked even though I heard her clearly.And she must've known and chosen to ignore or was just oblivious to the fact that she acted very strangely."I said I want a truce, between us." She repeated. Her face is straight.She must've been touched since I accepted to help her pack. Her beef with me was unreasonable. She should've known from the start but I do not tell her that and I certainly do not trust her call for a truce.We've been enemies for too long I'd gotten used to seeing her like one.However, it must've taken everything in her to approach me for a truce and blocking her out might not be the best thing to do since it's better to keep the enemies closer."My daughter's birthday dinner party is this weekend. Come if you're not busy." I said with a smile.There, I can watch her closely and find out if she has an ulterior motive. I expected her to frown and snap at me

Aveline. Immediately after I walked out of the house, I let out a long exhale to calm my raging nerves. I ignited the engine, and at the same time, connected my phone with my car and was about to place a call across to the huge guy I had fought in my pack to convince the remaining pack members. Mason. That was his name; I had learned it from him after the fight, which had been obviously humiliating to him.Just as I was about to dial the number, I decided against it and just decided to play music instead.I was really trying to avoid anything that would get me more pissed than I was.‘You will need to get your emotions in check before you do something that you might regret out of anger,’ V said in my mind with her usual calm tone.‘I am really trying to get them in check, but the words that Sofia said keep repeating in my head, and that is the exact thing keeping me pissed.’ I replied to her, my face tensed, forming a frown. ‘Think of something else, then,’ V replied and fell in

Aveline. Another twenty-four hours passed after I proved myself to the main members that formed my pack as their Alpha.The first female alpha in a really long while. Things didn't seem to be getting better, but it wasn't getting worse either way, so as long as I didn't do anything stupid that would implicate me, then it was only a matter of a couple of days or even a day before things moved back in my favor again and the trending news would have died down by then. There is no news or anything as fuel to keep it burning and increase the trend span. There was one issue that had been bothering me, though, and it's the fact that I am unable to contact Draven. It is so unusual that it left me worried and I couldn't help but think that something was happening in his pack that had made it difficult to reach him or something had happened to him. The lack of ability to contain my worries was what had pushed my body down to this place, which was the sole reason why I am here discussing w

Draven.Before Draven and his Beta could even gather information about Kade, the latter already made his move, which came as quite a surprise. Draven already knew that he wasn’t bluffing, but he never thought that Kade would act this fast; what he had in mind was that Kade was going to give Aveline time to think about what her next decision would be and inform him about it. The “time” Draven thought Kade was going to give Aveline was what I had planned to take advantage of and exploit as much as he could, using it to gather information about him, information that would have enough effect as the one he was threatening Aveline with. The backlash from the internet and the press for going out with someone who was in a relationship with another man was not the only problem that Draven was facing. In fact, he was facing an even more dire one at the moment, that he could not spare even a single moment to deal with the internet and the press. A few days had passed since those images had be
