3 - A Viral Scandal

"ALPHA EDGAR DARKMOON!" Anna yelled as she looked at my face. The name was already enough for them to know who the man was.

The wine sputtered out of my mouth the moment Anna said Edges' name. I began coughing violently, unaware that I had spluttered the liquid all over the food on the table. Instead of getting mad at all the food getting ruined, Anna was stunned.

Even Dylan was flabbergasted when he heard the name. "Alpha Edgar? Light, you are done for!" he said. Dylan was the son of Alpha Willaims who was also a partner with Edge’s company. The shock on his face was clear enough to show the effect of Edge’s name on him.

I shuddered at the thought. 'Damn it! Does he know my face? Or my name?'

“Shit!” Anna hissed, her fingers moving over the screen of the phone quickly. She brought the phone close to her eyes, “people are going mad in comments.”

She then sat back down on the couch and started reading the comments out loud, “Twilight you have lost your mind. How dare you force yourself on Alpha Edgar?”

“Crazy stalker. I always knew she was a slut.”

“She has gone absolutely mad. How can she kiss someone like the Alpha King like that?”

“I am going to kill you, Twilight. You stole my man. He was supposed to be mine.”

“God… the poor man looks so shocked. Twilight attacked him like a wild fucking animal. So disgusting.”

“Nice going! I wish I was there to join you, Twilight! I would never miss a chance like that too.”

I flipped my head toward Anna, horrified. Out of shock now, I jumped toward her and snatched the phone out of her grasp. “Delete the video, moron!”

“Whyyyyy…” Anna whined, attempting to snatch her phone back.

“Anna, one of these days I am going to be in jail for murder. And you are going to be the one laying in the morgue with your eyes gouged out and your tongue on the table.” I growled, “you are bringing out my psycho level, don’t test me.”

Anna pouted and slumped down on the couch. I quickly deleted the the post, but the damage was already done. So many people must have already seen the video. 

I abruptly said, "You guys have fun. I need to leave now."

I waved my hand to them and walked out of the club. The cool breeze hit my face but the effect of the drink had already faded. I brought out my phone to hire a cab, but a car came to a stop right in front of me. I looked up in surprise.

“Rhett sent me to pick you up.” The familiar man said. I had seen him in the training ground with other warriors.

I got inside the back seat. The car drove off.

‘I hope Edge doesn’t recognize me! Otherwise, he might be thinking that I regret asking for the annulment and just jumped at him to get his attention.’

Leaning against the back of the seat, I kept thinking about what happened.

In our world, it had gotten almost impossible to find a destined mate in the modern word. My parents and Edge’s parents had been friends back then. When I was born, they decided that instead of letting us spend a long lifetime without a partner, they will set us together so we both can have a great future.

His parents died early on, when he was young in a car accident. There was always news about Edge ever since he returned back to settle in our country when he turned eighteen. He came from the linage of Lycans, so the entire world was in anticipation to know if his wolf was a Lycan as well. Lycans were same as wolves, but they had the power to command other alpha wolves. As a result, Lycans were considered a royalty, born only once every few centuries and called ‘the Alpha King’. After Edge’s first shift, it was publicly declared that he had a Lycan as well. 

I had met his parents when they came to our house when I was little. I had never come across such nice people. Since Edge was studying out of country from early childhood, I never got to meet him. Then my parents died six years ago in an attack at our home when I was thirteen. 

Three years later, after I turned sixteen, that is when I heard from Mr. Olsen, Edge’s accountant and personal caregiver. He said he was assigned by Edge to take care of anything that I needed since I was Edge’s fiancee. Edge must have been twenty two years old then because Mr. Olsen said that I and Edge had a six years old gap.

But not once did Edge consider to meet the woman that he had as his fiancee.

He was always busy with work and spent most of his time overseas to take care of business. On the other hand, even when he was in the city, he stayed at his pack. We had different social standing, different friends, and company. There was no way for us to come across each other, not even once in all these past years.

Actually, I never even knew that I was engaged to him until I was contacted by Mr. Olsen. My parents never told me about it. And it was not until now that I got to see Edge face-to-face. Rhett also got to know about it on the same day. Mr. Olsen had been supporting both of us after our parents died as friends of our parents. Rhett was almost twenty when it happened. 

Edge always kept a low profile, so it was very rare when a picture or two would pop up in a magazine or on the TV.

There was a picture though that stayed stuck in her mind. A couple of years ago when he was snapped by a magazine. People said that his arm was around the waist of another female alpha during a high-class event. But before I could see it, the image had already been deleted.

Now, I finally saw my fiancee.

And I kissed him in our first meeting only! Well, if he had signed the annulment papers already, he would be my Ex- fiancee.

There were rumors that Edge was already surrounded by women. But there was also a rumor that he hated the women who threw themselves at him.

That thought made me almost scream my lungs out.

‘Fuckkk!! I seriously hope he didn’t recognize me!’ I begged the heavens silently.

‘No one called my name. And he has never seen my face. So maybe he doesn’t recognize me.’ I continued with my thoughts.

I gripped my blushing face and buried it in the back of the seat in front of me, remembering everything that happened tonight. ‘If he already knows who I am, he is going to hate me, for sure. But maybe that would be better. If he thinks that I am the kind of girl who throws herself at men, he will sign the engagement annulment papers without any hesitation.’

The car came to a stop in front of my house. I got out, and lifted my head up, only to flinch back immediately.

Rhett stood at the entrance door, his pissed gaze pinned on me. My life is fucked!

Rhett had seen the picture.
