*Trisha's POV*
“Trisha, table four!”
“Roger that!” I collected the tray of drinks from Maureen and pushed through the crowd of half naked ladies and bare chested men and arrived at the table in no time. “Here and enjoy,” I smiled brightly before making my way back to the bar.
Well, this is how my life has been. After my university education, I thought I'd finally go to medical school and get my medical certificate then become a doctor like everyone else but then, father died and we had to use the money, sell some of our stuff to give him a burial befitting a wolf of his demeanor. Father was the beta to the Alpha but after his death, the royal family forgot all about us and mother died suffering from depression, and I was left to survive my cruel fate, and here I am.
Mother left me to my nanny to take care of, and she had no good job, so I was left to look for a good job that'll sustain the both of us, and so I begun working as a bartender in this club. The salary was okay since it could pay the bills and feed us, so I'm not complaining. A medical student turned bartender. Hard luck, huh?
But it's fine. At least, I can survive on this, and I have a mate who loves me so much and supports me. I'm happy.
“Evelyn!” Maureen called and I chuckled. “You're spacing out again. You don't want the boss lady eating you up.” She teased and I laughed.
“Sure, sure. My shift is going to be over anyway.” I smiled and attended to the customers.
When my shift finally ended, I washed up in the staff bathroom and changed into the clothes I brought to the bar before putting my shoes on.
“Slow down, babe. You don't wanna break a leg.” Maureen chuckled.
“Today is my birthday, Maureen. I saw Preston's call a few minutes ago. I think he has a surprise for me.” I smiled as I added finishing touches to my lips.
“Wow, that's lovely. You know, I envy you guys' relationship. Jason is an example of a spectacular mate. I wish I could have someone like him.” Maureen sighed.
I stood up and patted her shoulder. “Don't worry, babe. You'll find your mate soon.” I hugged her and started rushing out.
“If there's cake, reserve some for me.” She shouted to my hearing and I chuckled.
“Sure!”
When I got out, I boarded a cab to Preston's apartment. I couldn't wait to see what he had planned for my birthday today. Jason's father was the new beta and they were well to do. We've been together for 4 years and he has supported me in diverse ways. He was the best and I couldn't ask for more.
After the cab dropped me off, I paid and took one last look at my mini mirror, arranged my hair and exhaled, waiting to be blown away by this year's birthday surprise.
As I walked to the door, I couldn't understand why but a feeling of anxiety rushed through my system. I had a hunch that something wasn't right and when I got to the door and heard groans and moans, it only justified the feeling I was having.
What was going on?
I reached for the door and turned the doorknob, pushing open the door slowly. The room was dimly lit and I held my chest, thinking he was just trying to scare me before the real surprise came.
When I stepped in and shut the door, my ears picked up a sound from the bedroom. Being a wolf, I was the type who saw during the dark and so I didn't bother to turn the lights on and followed the sound up the stairs to Jason's bedroom.
I pushed open the door and my heart dropped to my stomach. The room was dark but I could see two people on the bed.
“Harder baby, harder, Jason! Fuck me like the slut I am. Yeah!”
I cleaned my ears because I recognized that voice. It was Ella's voice.
“Oh baby, yeah, you like that, you like my dick in your pussy, huh?”
And that was Jason's voice.
“Yes, I love you!”
I couldn't bear it anymore and switched on the lights to see my mate and best friend naked in the same bed.
“What the fuck are you two doing?” I screamed and was shocked that they didn't move. They didn't even seem bothered by my outbursts.
Jason continued grinding on her. I flung my handbag to the side of the room and pulled him away from her.
“How
Ella got down from the bed and approached me. “Hey, best friend. Your mate is a beast in bed.” She said and I slapped her. She was about to talk but I gave her another one.
“
*Trisha's POV* I chuckled. “Life has refused to go the way I want and happiness is far from me. I just wanted to drown away my sorrow, that's all.” He chuckled. “Same here. I've been betrayed by the people I call family and they've really shown me the monster in them.” I snickered and downed another bottle. “Yours is better. My wife left me alone in this world. She should have taken me with her but she died and left me here,” He narrated and I felt bad for him. “I loved her so much.” He sniffled and I patted his back, forgetting about my own sorrow. Mine might be betrayal but his was the death of someone he loved dearly. I remembered how I felt when Father passed on and tears rolled down my cheeks. “Carlota, where are you?” He questioned in tears and downed another bottle of beer. He was about to go for the sixth one but I stopped him. “Hey, pull yourself together. I know you're in pain but drinking this much won't do you good,” I advised him even though I had planned on doing t
*Trisha's POV* I awoke the next day and sat up on the bed as “Eve, open the door.” I heard my mother's voice and sniffed. When I finally opened the door, she walked in and hugged me. “Tell me, what's the problem?” She asked. “I'm sorry, mother. I failed you.” I cried, holding her tight. “I don't understand what you're saying, dear. Calm down and explain things to me. Tell me what actually happened.” She urged me. I told her everything but I didn't tell her it was the Alpha I slept with. I don't want her going to the mansion the next day and putting herself at risk for me. She pulled me in for a hug and patted my back. “It's okay. I'm grateful to the moon goddess that you're alive. I'm so sorry. If I had a job, you wouldn't be working in that club and going through this.” “No, mother, it's not your fault.” I hugged her tighter and sighed. *** A few days later, I was back to work. I have decided to put whatever happened behind me and move on with my life. I have learned that
7 years later*Trisha's POV*I stepped out of the plane with my head up high as I took in the familiar scent of the London airport. It was a scent that once filled me with trepidation and sorrow, but now it carried a different meaning. It was the scent of triumph, of overcoming the odds stacked against me.My nanny, who had always been with me through thick and thin walked alongside with me, her presence a constant reminder of the unwavering support and love that had guided me through my darkest days. Together, we had forged a path of resilience and determination, refusing to let the past define us.As I walked through the bustling airport, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. It was here, in this very city, where I had suffered unimaginable pain. It was here that I had found the strength to leave the pack, to break free from the chains of pain and betrayal that had me bound.But I didn't just survive; I thrived. With my nanny's encouragement, I pursued my dreams relentlessly. I worked
*Alpha Oscar's POV*My eyes fluttered open as I stared around my surroundings. I quickly got up and touched the side of my stomach where I was shot.Anger seared through me as I wondered who had the guts to shoot me. How dare they? The door opened and Beta Fernando walked in.“You're finally awake. I thought you were going to be out for two days.” He chuckled and I furrowed my brows.“How long have I been out?” I questioned and he sighed.“One day.” He answered and I gasped.“One day?” I asked and tried to get down but he stopped me. “I know you're angry but you have to calm down and stay here for now. The doctor asked us to look after you.” He said and I sighed.I balled my fist in rage. “Have you looked into the person that attempted this shit?” I asked, referring to the gunshot.“We tried our best but the person was smart. He left no trace. I think it's a sniper, but the police are still investigating it.” He replied.“Who could have done this and why?” I questioned.“Well, I arri
"I finally found you Trisha Drake." I muttered locked up in her gaze. My voice was full of regrets and guilt.Now more than ever I felt so much remorse for what I did a few years back, i could only imagine how cruel my actions were.I was only trying to keep my reputation and image clean, oblivious of the fact that I was just making one of the biggest mistakes of my life.At the verge of trying to keep it clean on my side I was actually causing her more harm.I was barely done judging by past actions, when she abruptly pulled her hands off my grip."don't you dare touch me." she muttered more like a groan. She had all the liberty in the world to get mad at me, even if it means hitting on me, I really don't care, cause I knew I deserved something even worse than what I had done to her."please trisha hear me out." I implored with a really sympathetic tune. I made it so obvious that I was actually remorseful for what I did in the pastI attempted to reach out to her hands again but she
