Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary CHAPTER 043
DravenDraven stormed out of the building, but not in anger, in defeat. He hopped into his car and slammed the door behind him. "What's the problem, sir," it was his driver. He shot him a deadly stare that made him gasp before turning to the front and he drove out of the premises. 'You made her cold and ruthless, so you are the one at fault,' his wolf spoke in a firm tone. 'Shut the fuck up!' Draven yelled in frustration and hardened his jaw. 'You don't need to lecture me!''I warned you but you were proud…too proud.' the wolf did not cease to stop talking. 'You knew she was the best person in your company, the most versatile.' Draven face fell and he folded his arms across his chest without uttering a word. "Go faster." His voice was audible. His driver's gaze moved to the rearview camera and his face became etched with worry. "Sorry, can you come again, sir?" A slight growl could be heard and his hand shivered. "I just told you to drive faster, do you need a hearing aid?" T

DravenDraven walked into the police station with his hands in his pockets, and Sophie was at his right-hand side. She walked hurriedly towards Emily but she was stopped by one of the cops. "Get your dirty hands off me!" She yelled and forcefully hit his hand away. "Do I look like I committed a crime?"The cop just stared at her with his hands behind him."You don't even know if that so-called bitch Aveline told y'all a lie," she rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. "You just believed her all in the name of what? She's a–"Sophie was cut short when Draven slammed his fist on the wall. "Shut the fuck up, Sophie.""You don't know if I'm saying–""Like I said, just shut the fuck up," his tone was low but firm. "We are not here for this." Draven turned to the cops who had a look of satisfaction on their faces. "What does she have to do before she would be set free?" Draven's hands were across his chest. "A fine and an apology," a man with blonde hair came out from their midst and E

AvelineI pushed my suit upward to take a look at the time and a sigh escaped my lips. "It was a few minutes past four," I promised Betty that I'd get home really early today but after looking at the files on my table, I shook my head."Another day to make it up to you, Betty," I picked up a pen and signed on a piece of paper before placing it back into its rightful place. I pressed my lips into a resolute line after I heard a knock on my door. "Who's there?" I arched an eyebrow. "The cops," I heard a deep baritone voice."You can come in," I paused. "It's not locked." The doorknob turned slowly and I saw them with Emily. She had a look of disgust on her face but I was not bothered one bit by it."She's back already," I muttered in disappointment. "I think it's too early." A cop took a step forward before placing his hands behind him. "Mr Harrington came to the station some minutes ago and he asked for the things she needed to do before she would be let out of the cell.""So has

AvelineIn the days following, I kept Draven at arm's length, replying to his greetings curtly and referring him to my secretary whenever he asked any questions. He tried to talk to me about what happened with Emily but my dismissive attitude passed enough message and he stopped trying after a couple of days.With his company working with us, we had to be involved every step of the way.And just like Kade said, it was a good collaboration as everyone was interested in what we were cooking.We even had other big companies knocking on our door to sign a contract with them and make them our subsidiary companies.We had a good first week as the collaboration was accepted by the public but as quiet and peaceful as it seemed now, I knew that it might not be for long.Even though Emily promised the cops to stay away from me, I wasn't so sure Sofia would stay away. I saw the scornful way she looked at me and I knew that it wasn't the end of the war yet.The truth was, even if it was the end

AvelineSofia slowly stepped out from beside my car into the yellowish light from the solar-powered street light in the compound.She held a smirk on her face."You seem startled, I just came for a friendly visit." She replied, enjoying the startled look on my face."Standing beside my car, hiding in the dark doesn't seem to me like what a friend would do," I replied, unimpressed with her words."So, I'll ask again before I call security, what are you doing here?" I asked with a hoarse tone."Trying to act fierce are you?" She chuckled and shook her head before bringing out what she'd been hiding behind her all the while.It was a rolled sheet of paper as long as a decent dagger."I'm not here for anything ugly unless that's what you choose." She said with a shrug."I knew that your return was for revenge, you probably want cash or some properties." She laughed before facing me again with a serious face."You've made your point and I get it. That's why I'm here to discuss business wit

AveI stumbled backward more from the shock that engulfed me than from the blood on my hands and bits of Sofia's flesh.Hopping into my car before the security guard would catch onto something, and come out of his quarters.I turned on the ignition and stepped on the accelerator, swerving out of the compound. I didn't stop until I got to the front of my house. Without turning the car off, I sat there, staring at my bloodied hands in shock and disbelief. It was as though everything that happened was a dream.'What the hell happened?' I asked my wolf who had remained quiet through it all.'Talk to me. Are you there?' I asked impatiently. I needed answers and the only way I could get answers was from V. Only she knew what happened to me.'Please!' I called out when I still got no response.'So you remember me now?' She asked with a sad tone.'I'm sorry, what happened back there?' The need to get answers to my questions prevailed over the need to feel guilty.'The tip of the iceberg of t

DravenSophie pushed the security guard out of her way after ignoring his questions. She walked hurriedly to the door and pushed it open. As Sophie stood before him, Draven's eyes widened in horror, his mind struggling to comprehend the bloody scene unfolding before him. Blood continued to trickle down her hand, forming a small puddle on the floor, while her clothes were splattered with crimson stains, a stark testament to the brutality she had endured.Sophie's face was partially covered by her hand, which she held pressed against her cheek as if attempting to stop the flow of blood or reduce the pain. Her groans were low and anguished, a heart-wrenching expression of the suffering she was experiencing.Draven's voice trembled with shock as he stuttered, "W-what...what happened?" His gaze remained fixed on Sophie, his eyes scanning her battered form, taking in the severity of her injuries. As he stumbled backward, his eyes locked onto the claw marks etched into her face, a knowin

DravenDraven placed Sophie on the couch and a sigh escaped his lips. "How is Aveline capable of doing this?" He rose to his feet and walked out of the sitting room with a concerned look. He got to a room where he brought out a first aid kit, and then he made it back to the sitting room. Slowly and gently, he cleaned the blood on her face and her hand before applying ointment and he bandaged it. "Your wolf must be weak so I guess it'll be faster with this," his gaze was on the med kit that was now arranged properly again. He took Sophie in his hands and made for her room before kicking the door open."Where am I?" Sophie's eyes opened slowly and her tone was low. "You're still home okay?" He dropped her on the bed and flipped the switch. "All you need is just rest and your wounds will be healed." Without waiting for a response, he shut the door behind him and made for the sitting room with worry etched on his face. "Aveline did that to her?" His hands were in his pockets and a

Aveline."Why is the car driving towards us? And with that amount of speed?" Sabrina asked, wide-eyed and alarmed. "Hold tight," I instructed and turned the steering wheel to change the direction of the tires so the moment I stepped on the accelerator, my car escaped the oncoming car by a little shift. They could've run into us if I hadn't acted fast. I stared at my rearview mirror to observe the white van that was behind us and noticed that the engine was still on and it was still coming for us.I sped off with hopes of losing the car but another one came from one of the bushes in front."Shit!" I cursed but didn't take my legs off the accelerator."Were they trying to kidnap us right now? Or was this Kade's doings? It had to be placed since we couldn't place a finger at what or who exactly was behind it.If I was the only one, I could've let them take me but I had my family with me and I wasn't about to let any of them get hurt. Not on my watch."The car doesn't seem to be stoppin

AvelineIt's been four days since Draven told me about what he saw and what he thinks might happen and even though Sabrina thinks we should go to Draven's pack and stay under his watch, I don't think I'm ready yet to go there.Not when Betty is involved. I could go alone or even bear taking Sabrina with me but with Betty coming along, it's a different ball game.The last years I spent there were hell to me and the memory still haunts me after years. I wouldn't want Betty to experience the slightest toxicity. "What do you think about this dress huh? You'd slay in it I'm sure. Necks would turn to you if you go in this." Sabrina was at one of her talks to try to convince me to move to Draven's park."I told you before already, I'm not going to let Betty go through what I went through.""Who said she's going to go through that? Besides, Draven's now on your side and so is Sofia." She protests."What if Sofia's just pretending to get me on good notes with her? What if Draven's in on it wi

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
