Saving The Pack

Miranda’s POV

"You know what he wants very well".

"and since you want to feign ignorance then I will tell you, he wants you back home..."

“What does he have to say about my decision not to return home?” I asked, my eyes leaving the contract that had just been handed over to me to stare at him.

Judging from the not so invisible air pod inserted in my ears, I could tell my Dad was listening and would have something to say about my stubborn decision of not returning home.

Michael nodded and said, “your father understands your reason and is perfectly okay with your decision but only on one condition, Miranda”.

There had to be an option as I knew the kind of person Dad was, if I’m not wrong it had something to do with the Imperial Group, the packs business.

“Well out with it already and stop staring at me like I’m going to run away” I teased and he nodded, “Miranda, you would have to take your original place at the company by being the general manager of the pack business and not only that but to also make you presence known through the companies log book”

“What do you mean by that, I am to make profits despite the fact that I know absolutely nothing about running the packs business”

“Really?” he asked staring straight at me like he was trying to read me, “its been six whole years and maybe I have forgotten all I was taught, you seem to have forgotten that I lost my memory?”

“You can be guided but not withstanding that, you will have to take your place, your father orders”

“What if I don’t?” I asked him, ignoring his nod, “well you have to blame yourself for whatever happens to shadow Pack, you cant always run alway from your responsiblities”

I knew that this was definitely the kind of thing that would do, I loved him no doubt but sometimes he was just too decisive and shrewd. If there something else, I knew my Dad was capable of it is doing just like he says.

“If I’m not mistaken, this sounds like a threat Michael”.

“Take it however you want but I’m pretty sure you do remember that your dad doesn’t say what he can’t do” he added.

My mind flew back to three years ago; it was at that time that Dad had found me. I was 18 and was about to get married to Darren. Upon finding out that my supposed mate already had a girlfriend and made no effort in hiding it or even pretending to care for me.

He bluntly disapproved our marriage and wanted me to return home with him, he said he had studied Darren and he knew deep down that there was no way that he’d change, being so childish and naïve I had thought that maybe the bond was strong enough to change him and that was when I made a bet with Dad.

If I couldn’t get Darren to fall in love with me, then I would have to return back to red moon pack to take my place as the pack’s Beta.

I wasn’t supposed to care that Dad was going to destroy their park, but even though Darren and I were divorced, I still couldn’t change the fact that Darren’s Dad had saved me and not only that he had treated me like his own, I had promised him to guard the shadow pack…maybe all along this was now I could protect them.

With a sigh, I began reading through the contract before I finally signed it making Michael smile at me, “A very wise decision you have made” he said more like to himself.

The black card was handed over to me, “you know your way around but your dad will be expecting you”

Immediately I got down from the car he drove off like he was in a hurry, I did what every other girl who had been subjected to years of being cashless and weak would do…shopping.

I spent the whole day in getting a makeover much to Emerald pleasure, my first stop before heading to where I used to call home.

If there was anyone that would win a price for the hating me the most, it was Melina and she didn't even try to hide how much she hated me.

She didn't waste anytime in scolding me for things that didn't matter and bully me because she thought I had no identity.

To her, I had wriggled my way into their lives and forced myself into their family to create a name for poor self.

All these started the moment I got married to Darren, the same goes to her...maybe to them I wasn't worth being called Mrs Thane.

I wanted to be the first person to break the news of our divorce to her.

"What are you doing here? And whose clothes and car did you steal?" She began to taunt the moment she opened the door to see me.

With a cold look plastered on y face I began, "it's nice to see you too mother"

"I do hope it isn't Darren's money that you stole to..."

"I don't appreciate that time in which you speak to me with Mrs Thane, it didn't like your son can afford a car this expensive" I taunted and rejoice upon seeing the brazen look on her face.

If looks could kill, we'd both be dead because I wasn't backing down in giving her glaring look.

"I knew you won't be contented at all, after all Darren had done, you are parading yourself like a cheap sl..."

"If you value your pack, it's advisable to swallow those words of yours"

She gasped and stared at me in shock, "who are you? I would make sure Darren would throw you into the streets "

"I'm Miranda Adams and I have come to share the good news, since you don't seem to have plans on inviting me in, then I would say at the door"

"Your son is a free man, we got divorced this morning, mother" Melina laughed menacingly before saying with all traces of shock wiped off, "well he has finally grown some balls to let you go".

Her eyes still lingered at the car parked at the driveway, I'm sure she had questions but then didn't want to ask.

"Sorry to burst your bubble mom, Darren didn't grown any balls to do anything, I did and I should have done it a long time ago"

"That's a lie!"

"What is mother? I was sick of having to stay with people like you who made massive efforts in making me feel so disgusted"

"Goodbye mother, now you can feel proud of yourself" with that I turned and left, ignoring her insults.

She was part of the people I wanted to lock up in the past. I drove the villa to pack my things.

I wasn't too surprised to see Vivian there too. "Hi" she sneered making no effort in eyeing the car I had just alighted from.

"You seem to have moved on pretty fast" She mocked making me smirk.

I wasn't going to let her get to me, I came her just for my stuffs.

"The least you could do is return my greetings you know"

"It seemed like my message last night gave you a hint of what to do" She added but this time she held unto me to stop me from moving.

"Let me go now"

"Or what?" She taunted in my face, as I moved to angrily remove her hands from it's hold on mine, her vicious attitude turned innocent in the blink of an eye.

She then feel down making me smirk, no one needed to tell me that Darren was in the room.

Just like I thought, as she began whimpering and accusing me of pushing her, I heard a familiar furious sound behind us, "What the fuck do you think you are you doing!"
