Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 025
AvelineI watched as Draven's mother walked past me slowly. A file was in her hand, and she shot me a deadly glance, but I just tightened my jaw. "You have been absent," she took her seat on the brown couch. "I don't need you to tell me anything apart from the main reason." My hands were folded across my chest. "Is that what we are supposed to be discussing right now?" Her thumb and index were under her chin and she stroked her beardless chin before scoffing loudly. "You can tell me what we are supposed to be discussing. I heard Draven stifling a chuckle, he controlled himself from bursting it out. "We can't discuss anything with her. I mean, she's not even in the top place, so I don't think there's a reason to discuss important issues with her." His mother smiled and flushed her hair above her shoulder and it went behind her. "Things that are not relevant will be discussed with you, Aveline Nova."For a split second, I shared a look with Draven and he seemed to enjoy watching me

AvelineI got out of my car after stopping close to the grocery store, I slammed the door in annoyance. Three months and two days was all that was left for me in my contract with Draven.After that, I would finally smile. Several times, I had wanted to resign but it was not just possible. I was blinded by love when I signed the eight-year contract, and it was said that until your contract expire, you can't resign. I actually thought Draven would love me to this time, but it all faded out; the only thing I saw now was hate…complete hate. "Hey," I turned to see a man who seemed to be in his early thirties. His hair was yellow. My eyes squinted and I gripped my car key tightly. "Do you know me?" He seemed familiar.He shrugged. "No, but I don't think beautiful ladies like you should be lost in thoughts."I was still silent. "You can't deny that can you?" A smile widened his lips and he placed his hands inside his pockets."Well, you don't know what I was thinking about," I turned a

AvelineAfter my discussion with Sabrina, I finally gathered the courage to leave. I'd had enough.Hell, even a fool wouldn't stay as long as I did.My discussion with Sabrina further opened my eyes to the fact that Draven would never come around. He would never look at me the way I desperately wanted him to,He would never sympathize with me if I got hurt the same way he does Emily. He would never look at me with those warm eyes he holds with Emily. I was always going to be at the backstage and I had to make up my mind.It was clear that I had nowhere to go or how to start but it was also very much clear that if I remained, I was going to meet an early demise.I had just three months left to wrap up my contract with Draven and with a mind made up, I returned to the office to finish what I'd started.Going back there, numbing myself to the insults constantly thrown at me, the lies cooked up against me, the irritation I was regarded with, I took it all in and even though it got worse

DravenDraven scoffed, watching Ave leave his office and as her footsteps receded he couldn't help but feel amused. It wasn't the first time she got out of her mind and threatened to leave, and it wasn't the first time she'd left like this. But,As he looked down on the contract agreement signed eight years before, being returned to him, he felt a sting at the probability that she might not return since her contract was indeed over.Looking at the document on his table, he reminisced over her words and I couldn't understand why he felt hurt hearing her reject him.It felt like he'd fallen down a skyscraper and hit his heart on the ground, shattering it to pieces in the process as her rejection sunk in. "Did you see that Ave girl? Storming out of this office like she owns it?" Sophia, his sister barked, storming into his office and effectively disrupting his thoughts."She almost bumped into him as he tried to talk to her, imagine the audacity!" She ranted but he remained calm, his ga

AvelineI'd thought that the man I met at the store would be as vague as he seemed but he was my saviour.After I met him at the store and he asked me why I was out alone, I bit my lower lips, thinking of what response to give to him.Telling him that I just ran from my mate and the city I'd known for all my life to total uncertainty was not a good idea so I broke into tears.Falling on my knees as I cried, he quickly held me up, took me to his place and cooked me a meal. It was the first home-cooked meal I'd had in a long time and I ate it with agility. After my meal, he let me sleep in the guest room, respecting my privacy and not asking me any questions until I was willing to speak. I wondered how someone could be so gentle with a person they barely knew. The next morning, I decided to tell him my rejection story and he listened with rapt attention, something that Draven never did. After I'd finished explaining things to him, he pressed my hands to assure me that everything would

AvelineMy eyes widened in shock and my pupils danced around in my sclera. I gripped my hand tightly. Pregnant? How? I thought I had lost the child so what does he mean by I'm pregnant?!"What… what do you mean by pregnant?" I stuttered in shock and confusion. There was no doubt that I actually lost my child that night so how is this even possible? The doctor closed the distance between us and handed me the paper in his hand and I looked at him for a second. I did not understand a single thing that was happening here. I moved my gaze to the paper and I gasped in shock again. A scan was done and it was discovered that a baby was in me?! He was not lying, after all; he was not. I covered my face with my palms. "How is this even possible?" I muttered in a low tone. I heard an approaching footstep, and I looked up; it was the doctor. "Why did you look surprised ma'am? Haven't you had anything with a man before?" For a moment, I balled my fist. "I had a miscarriage, actually; I t

AvelineThe storm was not over yet, it was something no one needed to tell me. As long as I'm still breathing, I would make any sacrifice for the child in me. As I sat on the couch, my hand gently resting on my stomach, I felt a surge of determination course through my veins. The memory of Sabrina's words echoed in my mind, a poignant reminder of the unwavering commitment I had made to the tiny life growing within me.With my lips pressed together in a resolute line, I steeled myself for the challenges that lay ahead. The weight of responsibility, the uncertainty of the future, and the sheer magnitude of the sacrifices I would need to make all seemed to fade into the background as I focused on the singular truth that drove me forward: I would do everything in my power to give this child the best possible life.My phone rang, and I checked who it was, it was Brad this time, and I picked the call up. "Hey, I'm back." My voice was barely above a whisper. I heard a chuckle from the end

AvelineFor months of working in this place, life has taught me a lot of lessons. I got rejected about eight times before settling for a job with lesser pay, but even at that, I was insulted a lot of times. There were times when I would want to yell and times when I would want to shove a pen into one of their eyes, but I just held back all the time. Every Saturday, I visit the doctor and he keeps singing a particular anthem to me time and time again. He would say: reduce your work stress so it would not affect your child, you can even stop work if you have to. In the midst of those struggles, I was most grateful to Brad and Sabrina, who kept on calling me day after day. "You need to do some training because you are not even qualified to work here you twat!" I gasped in shock when he barked in a rude tone. Another one of the customers dragged the item he bought from me in an angry way. "I'm sorry, I had to make sure the money was complete before handing it to you, and since it w

JULIAN The day Julian and Sabrina were meant to travel finally arrived, and they both made their way into the private jet that was waiting for them at the airport. Immediately after they stepped inside, Julian noticed the change in Sabrina's expression, and it was quite easy for him to tell what the cause for her sudden change in expression was. “Why are the chairs so close to each other?” She questioned, slowly moving to one of them, while he moved to the other. “I am not the one that built this jet, so I have no answer to the question that you just asked me,” Julian replied as he slumped down into one. “It was a rhetorical question; you didn't need to answer it,” she replied with a quite feisty tone. “If it were up to me, I wouldn't have minded the chairs being so far away from each other,” she muttered under her breath. Julian turned to stare at her with the same amused expression that always finds its way to his face whenever his eyes land on the embodiment of beauty sittin

Aveline I started getting worried. Not because of Betty this time around, or Sabrina or even my company, _although those always got me worried daily_This time around, I was worried because of the She-wolf who had been helping me through my recovery. I had not seen her in a while now and it was not normal for someone who always came around every morning to check in on me and keep me company, she hadn't come in for three days. I had every right to be worried. Considering what I went through in the hands of Kade.'What if he locked her up in the cell because she did something offensive?' I thought to myself with a deep sigh. She was a slave after all, and slacks are not cut for slaves in the clan. 'What if they killed her?!' My heart beat accelerated at this thought and I placed a palm on my chest to calm myself. I had to think about the positives that could happen but there were barely any positives that could happen in this shit hole of a clan where the Lycans kill for the fun o

Draven’s office was occupied by three people, with Draven seated behind his desk on his usual office chair, while the other two occupants, Brian, his beta, and Scar, Aveline’s right-hand man, sat on the two chairs opposite where Draven was seated. “Let's not even beat around the bush, and let me get straight to the point. I called both of you here to fill you in on my plan to attack the Lycans and set Aveline free from their grasp.” His gaze moved from Brian to Scar while he spoke, paying rapt attention to the expression plastered on their faces. Just like he had expected, the only person that reacted to this news was his beta, Brian. “You know this is not something that we are supposed to rush into,” Brian said and leaned forward, placing his arm on the table, like Draven wouldn't be able to hear him due to the little distance between them. He continued before Draven could interrupt him, “These people are far stronger than we are; they are well versed in battle individually. It w

DravenThe day was a busy one for him, it was either that or he had been so buried in Aveline's absence that he snubbed work for weeks. And it was telling on him from the pole of files on his table and the trouping in and out of his secretary into his office with more complaints and questions. Must have lost track of time with the so much work he had to handle and he only realized that when he picked up a call from a client who wanted a detailed statement of his transaction with Draven's company. Draven ran out of his office when he saw the time. He had forgotten to pick Betty from school.He drove over to her school like a man whose wife was in the hospital.When he got there he was told that Betty already left and Kade picked her up.Kade was no stranger to the school. He always picked his niece from school before he decided to show his true colors and Betty always tagged along so the teachers didn't read any meaning into his meeting with the girls."You could have called me and i

KadeAfter his conversion with Julian, Kade decided it was better to act on his _with the last card he had to pull; getting Aveline's daughter, Betty._He had not shown his face since he got to Julian's clan and had his friend handle his business while he was away but everything was not going as planned so he had to take desperate measures."Hey, sis!" Kade greeted over the phone as he got in his car."Am I talking to a ghost? You have been gone for so long that I began to think that my dear cousin is now a ghost!" The woman exclaimed from the other end of the call."I had to handle some serious business and it took more time than anticipated," Kade replied with a calm voice."You got me worried. And your niece had been asking after you all week!" She replied. "I'm sorry I got you worried. You know what? I'm coming into town today, can I stop by the house for a good lunch? You know I've missed your nice dishes." Kade asked and just like he expected, the woman had no issue with hostin

AvelineI have not set my eyes on Kade since the last time he came to my room. It was hard finding out what happened between Kade and Julian because I was still healing and had been falling in and out of sleep.The she-wolf who has been helping me had suddenly been distant. She doesn't spend as much time with me anymore, claiming that I need my rest. So I had only the books she gave me for consolation. However, on this faithful morning, I woke up and I didn't feel sleepy after some seconds of being awake so I got down from the bed.My wounds were almost healed since I'd been resting well and taking my meds. I still felt weak but it wasn't as much as the first week and the pains had reduced to a faint feel.I staggered to the door and was surprised that it wasn't locked from the other side.Perhaps, this has anything to do with what the guards said about King Julian's order to let me be.Two guards were manning my door and they shifted their gaze to me when I walked out but they did n

Sabrina The days moved by so fast and the closer the date of her meeting with Julian drew near, the more anxious she became.How could she be in a meeting with a man who provoked her every being? The fact that Aveline was being held hostage in his clan was not doing anything to reduce the anger she felt towards the man."Hello, Aunty." Betty's light voice cut through the angry woman's thoughts and she stared towards the door."Hey, sweetheart. How long have you been there?" Betty was glued to the side of the half-opened door, staring at her mother's friend with so much adoration. It would be no surprise if Betty said she was looking up to Sabrina as a role model. The woman was fierce and still so sweet. She had a large heart but never hesitated to call out anyone who was in the wrong."Not long. I just came by when I heard you were going out soon." Betty replied with a shrug.Sabrina smiled as she gestured to the girl with open arms."Come here, child." Betty ran into her embrace.

JulianJulian found himself looking forward to seeing Sabrina again and it got him excited as he reminisced about the last time he got on her nerves. They were supposed to have a meeting concerning their collaboration."Kade is asking to see you, my king." One of the guards announced with a bow by the door just as Julian was about to leave the room."He's here for what?" Julian asked as nonchalant as he could be."He said he had been trying to speak to you since the evening of your return from your first meeting at Aveline's office. He's been going mad about it and threatening to break in if we do not let him in." The guard replied. Making Julian stifle a laugh."Typical of him. Let's hear what he wants to say." Julian stepped out, to meet Kade pacing like a hungry lion waiting for its food to be served."You want to see me?" He asked Kade who wore a frown."You didn't let me in your chambers? Why is that?" Kade asked, fuming.He was pissed enough that he was no longer regarded as t

KadeKade walked past the lady by the door of Aveline's room and stopped before Aveline who wore a blank expression. It was as though she was not scared of him but at the same time, he could feel something, it was not fear, no. It was disgust."What are you doing here?" Aveline asked him, cutting through his thoughts. The look on her face confirmed his guess. She was disgusted by the sight of him."Surely, you do not think that because I let you out of the torture house, I'm not going to get rid of you," Kade answered with a smirk.If she looked at him with such disgust when they weren't in the clan and he hadn't shown her his real colors yet then he might have been a little bit disturbed by it but now, he had gone too far to let a little frown from her hold her back.The humiliation he had received from Julian was enough reminder that he needed to awaken the banished vampire army before everything he had worked for would go to ruin. "Just take this as a uh... break. You will raise
