7. You are Sick

~Hazel's POV~

I slammed the door of my apartment hard behind me and picked up the lamp placed on the table to my right. Imagining it to be Liam's neck, I held it tightly in my hand and kept putting pressure on it while trying to dig my nails into it.

What the fuck he thinks of himself?

Am I a chewing gum? Or a freaking toy with which he can play whenever he wants?

What the heck does he think of me?

He can't enter my life whenever he wants and leave when he feels bored! My life is not a garden for him to walk around!

I wish I had never met him...

And even if I did once, I wish I would have never met him again... Why does he have to be in that restaurant only?

There were plenty of restaurants as per his class in this big city, so why the heck did he choose to come over there?

Wait... Was that because of me?

Fucking yes!

He came there for me! How can I still be so stupid?

He kept an eye on me and entered my life when he thought it would be beneficial for him.

He is such an asshole...

He came back to break me again... He came back to take the life that I building for myself and...

My left hand went to my belly and I caressed it, he came back to snatch the life growing inside me. He is an alpha... For sure an alpha would never let his blood live an ordinary life with ordinary people around it.

I once heard an alpha killed 30 rogues to get his baby from a she-wolf rogue he impregnated. And after getting his hand on the baby, he killed the mother.

What if he wants to do the same with me? What if he wants to kill me after separating me from my baby?

No...

I can't let that happen... I can't let him have what he wants... I can't do what he is asking me to do...

Damn it... This is the reason why he wants me to stay with him... This is why he wants me to be his... Wife...

His words rang in my ears and I shut my eyes hard...

***The time when Hazel met Liam in the restaurant when he asked for her***

My head was high, showing no sign of nervousness but my heart was constantly telling me not to go in front of him. That he would break me again...

Listening to my heart was the best option for my life and for me, but as an employee, that option didn't exist for me, and I had to do what my manager told me to do.

I reached the room where he was waiting for me and saw him standing against the wall with his muscular arms crossed against the front of his chest, and I gulped; he was looking like an alpha even without a raging aura. His muscular arms, around 6'3 tall height, and the Greek God face with his light brown hair styled back and a little overgrown beard... God... What the fuck he wants to do?

My hand went to my apron's pocket, and I sighed; the flower petals were still there.

I don't want him to know about my baby if he doesn't know about it yet...

Since he is an alpha, he can smell the baby's scent even from my belly, and I don't want to take any risks, which is why I kept different flower petals in my pocket to use their fragrance as an excuse.

I stood in front of me with my lips pressed tightly against each other and my hands tightly clasped behind my waist.

I don't want to punch an alpha straight in the face for being a dick and then rot in his dungeon for life.

"What's with the face?" He asked with furrowed brows on his stupid handsome face.

"Nothing..." I muttered and faked a smile.

He doesn't need to know that he was succeeding in driving me crazy.

"You don't know who I am or you forgot how to treat an alpha?" He asked in a cocky voice.

"I am living between humans... I don't follow werewolf protocols," I smiled at him.

"Fair enough... Well..."

He straightened his blazer and put both of his hands in his pockets which made me suppress my loud sigh; stop doing stuff that drives me insane!

"I might sound a little off to you but I want to ask you something," He said.

"What?"

"Wow, you seem pretty straightforward to me..." He chuckled.

I badly wanted to roll my eyes at him but I again faked a smile and turned my hands into fists behind my waist; he was freaking getting on my nerves.

He looked at me up and down which made my breaths heavy and my heart run at a faster pace. He chuckled seeing how hard I was trying to control my breath and said, "I want you to marry me."

"What?" I exclaimed loudly.

What the fuck? Has he gone mad? Marry him?

"Sshh... Take it easy little girl. I-"

"Easy? Why the fuck do you expect me to take it easy when..."

Tears started to blur my vision, and I shut my eyes; he was not failing to remind me how easily girls become his chicks... But I am not one of them...

"First, lower your voice. You might not be living in my or any pack, but you still don't get the perks of talking to an alpha like this. And second, hear me out first and then make a decision," He firmly said.

I don't want to hear him...

"I am hearing what you are saying but are you hearing what you are asking for?" I asked while trying my best to control my tears and suppress my anger.

"I do... And I know you to hear it as well. So, the deal is, I want you to be my contracted wife. No feeling, no emotion, no falling in love with each other, and nothing. You just have to pretend like my wife and be my wife for a short period and then you are free to go. And yeah, as per my ethics, I won't try to touch you at all. We would be husband and wife in front of my family and pack; other than that, I am free to do whatever I want to do, and you are free to do whatever you want to do," He said.

What the heck is wrong with him?

I shook my head, "You are sick..."

"I'm not... I am just trying to buy some time to find the girl who is made for me otherwise... Leave that's not your concern. I will offer you any amount of money that you want."

Huh? Any amount of money?

And what the heck does he mean he is trying to find the girl that is made for him? Who the fuck am I? Did he forget what he did to me?

I didn't bring our past up yet because I didn't want to get my emotions high but this man... This man is sick...

"How many women have you slept with in the past four months?" I asked with anger running down my nerves.

"That's not your concern. We will be a contracted married couple, nothing more than that," He sternly said.

"I didn't agree to your terms yet... And... Just curious you know," I said.

"I don't keep a count of the girls," He shrugged.

How pathetic! He is worse than a monster!

"Never..." I muttered while shaking my head at him and ran out of the room with a heavy heart and tears running down my face.

***Present Time***

Out of all his chicks, he wants me to be his contracted wife... If this is not a game then what is it?

He surely wants to fuck with my life again!

I threw the lamp against the wall, breaking the glass lampshade on it into pieces, and yelled, why the fuck it's always me?

He could have had any she-wolf from his pack to do this for him but he came for me!

Why the fuck everyone just wants to play with me always?

I haven't done anything to any of them!

I took a bottle of water from the fridge and gulped as much water as I could to calm myself down. He got on my nerves one time and I was left alone here in the city. I won't let him do the same thing again because this time I would be freaking dead instead of being alone...

I went to the bathroom, stripped myself naked, and stood under the cold running shower. His smile and charm will not fool me again.

I can't let my guard go down... If I broke this time then there is no coming back for me to a normal life again and my baby...

I caressed my tummy and sighed, I will protect my baby from everything. Even if it means protecting him or her from his or her father.

I spent some time comforting my baby in the shower until my stomach started to growl. With a tired laugh coming out of my mouth, I wrapped a towel around me and walked out of the bathroom.

I walked toward the kitchen and soon as my eyes fell in the living room I sighed seeing the mess that I had created before entering the bathroom and remembered why the lamp was broken.

My eyes fell on the broken pieces of glass lamp shade and as I sat to pick it up, something clicked in my mind.

Why does it have to be me staying alone and broken always when I haven't done anything wrong to anyone?

Werewolf or human, people's karma should bite them in their asses. Maybe... Maybe it's the time of all those people who bullied me to pay for their deeds... Maybe it's time for the alpha to pay for his deeds...

Yeah...

I picked a piece of glass from the ground and smiled, it's time for all the heartbreakers and bullies to get their hearts broken.
