Chapter 12

Conrad

The drive from the company to my residence was roughly an hour depending on traffic. I and Frank had successfully handled the issues with the breachers, and currently I was exhausted. I drove the car into the large compound of the mansion I occupied, and carelessly parked it by the side. There was no energy left to enter the garage.

With the remaining strength in me, I pulled my almost limp and sluggish body towards the house. What I needed right now was a quick shower and a very good rest.

I walked into the house and met the waiting figure of Clara lying on the couch.

"Welcome, I prepared dinner" She said to me with a smile. I flashed her a weak smile before proceeding to settle on the couch next to her. I was so exhausted that going upstairs without a little minute of rest might actually cause me to pass out.

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry at the moment" I told her while I unbuttoned my shirt halfway.

"What's the matter, you look stressed" Clara inquired.

    Chapter 13KatherineI held my throbbing head while trying to gain balance as I almost tripped on the carpet. I could barely stand, and was barely able to see the things before me. I was dizzy, stricken with series of nausea, and migraines that lasted all night long. It was during the few days of these symptoms constantly reappearing that I finally decided to meet a medical personnel.I did not want to do so in the first place as I had expected the continuous head pains to be some sort of side effect from stressing myself way too much with work, but the persistence of the symptoms spoke otherwise. I was sick, and I needed help as soon as possible.I had made an appointment with another doctor, I did not want the family doctor to have any reports on me. I wanted my business as far away as possible from the women in my life, Clara and Lina.I couldn't drive, not in this condition. Picking up my phone, I ordered a lift, and the driver had promised to come pick me within ten minutes after

    Chapter 14KatherineI reached my room and collapsed onto my bed after I had successfully hidden away the pregnancy test papers. I had no idea how many people entered the room while I was gone, so I made sure to hide it in a place well hidden, but at the same time unsuspicious.For the first time in a while I was actually grateful that Conrad was in the same space with me. Without him stepping up to apprehend the rude Clara, I would probably be the main character in a family drama by now. I was still skeptical about telling him about the pregnancy, but I did big plan to think of that now, maybe when I wake up from sleep. I was exhausted from the day I just had, and needed some little rest, however a knock on the door had distracted me from closing my eyes.I knew for sure it wasn't Clara, nor Lina that was knocking. They rarely entered my room, and whenever they did, they never knocked. I had only two persons in mind, my personal maid, or Conrad, but I was leaning towards Conrad mor

    Chapter 15KatherineI instantly recalled the name from earlier this morning, it was the same store Clara was so excited about."Are they any stores nearby aside from that one? I heard it's quite expensive and I don't really have much on me at the moment" As long as Clara shopped at the place and admired it so much, I could tell it was expensive."Not really, the next one is at least two hours drive going only" Aiden revealed. Even though I knew Aiden was exaggerating a little bit, there was no way I was going to spend four hours on the road just for a single dress. "Do you have the black card with you?" He asked "Yes I do" I replied "Good, you can use it to make any payments at the store. I advise you buy a little more for yourself, don't just buy one dress" Aiden advised,"I'll have to go now, my secretary is on her way to your office right now, call me when you're done with the shopping" he finished and ended the call.I wasn't sure if I heard correctly, but Aiden had just told m

    KatherineI drove back to the office with my head still stuck on what had happened back at the store. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get Clara's shocked expression out of my head. I got back and immediately headed towards my office. I was already falling short in my office duties, and I had already received a message twice from Aiden informing me that everyone was still waiting for me. I could tell a third would mean they've started without me.As the manager, my presence was most important. I had the run down of events from every department in the company, and it is only from my statements and reports could others prove their authenticity. I wasn't yet done with everything I had on the computer, but I was confident I could finish fast and meet up before the others lost patience. I finally managed to get the drama out of my head, I couldn't afford to be caught faltering in my work because of a mere store incident, especially not one that involved Clara. I haven't give

    ConradI stared in awe as Katherine and a man I couldn't recognize walked away before me. I had no idea what to feel at that moment, but I did my best to restrain my emotions from getting the better of me. I was in public, and acting recklessly would earn me nothing but disrespect.I had suddenly lost the charisma and energy that was brewing in me moments ago. The scene I had just witnessed had drained me completely of energy, and I was struggling to keep myself from collapsing on my knees and crying like a child. I had thought that Katherine turning down my offer was heartbreaking, but this had thrown me off balance. Katherine had accepted another man's offer, the very moment she rejected mine, and right in front of me. I wanted to feel like a fool for coming here, but my feelings wouldn't let me.I should not be any, she didn't owe me anything. It was all my fault, I was the reason I was in this condition. We were divorced now, and there was nothing I could do about it. She had the

    Chapter EighteenKatherineI woke up with the urge to be in the arm of the man I loved. No matter how much I tried to deny and fight it, I couldn't keep thoughts of Conrad away from my mind. Most morning I wished I woke up in his arms, in his warmth and care.I sat up from the bed and my eyes tailed towards where he used to lie beside me. Our marriage wasn't the best, but I couldn't deny the moments we had as a couple. His affection them might have not been towards me, but there was no way I could deny his expertise in the art of lovemaking. He was a guru at the art, and the memories of his touch, his lips and everything about him still warmed my thoughts every now and then. I felt genuinely bad for how I had treated him yesterday. I had no idea why I'd decided to leave him hanging in public, it was something I couldn't bear, yet I did it to someone else. An evil streak was slowly crawling into my character, and I wasn't doing anything to keep it away yet. My pregnancy was getting t

    ConradKatherine's words kept replaying over and over again in my head. No matter how hard I tried to ignore those words, her voice came resounding in my ear. I wasn't angry with her one bit, all she said was true, and that was what made everything about her words so hurtful. I was mad at myself for all the bad decisions I have been making and my wolf wasn't sympathizing with me today."I tried to tell you didn't I? She was our mate and you still neglected her. This was bound to happen the moment you chose any lady over your mate" He taunted. He was right too, and his words were as hurtful as ever."They weren't meant to console you, they were definitely meant to hurt you!" My wolf added to my already bleeding heart. "But I've been trying, haven't I done enough, why is she still so cold to me. Has she found another lover?" I questioned myself, though I had no idea what the answer was."She hasn't!" My wolf snapped and I was genuinely scared for a moment. I guess hearing that his mate

    ConradI wasn't drunk, but definitely felt lightheaded as I made my way towards the car. I had drank so much that the metabolism rate of my body wasn't able to fully burn out the effects of the alcohol. My wolf was worried, but I neglected his emotions at the moment.I made my way home and recklessly drove into the compound. The screeching sound of me drifting haphazardly into the place had alerted a lot of the inmates of the mansion, and soon everyone was watching from the windows and doors.I ignored their surprised expressions and sauntered towards the main door. It was definitely a surprise for them to see me in such a sorry state, but neither of them said a word, not until I reached the door and was confronted by Clara.I had chosen to ignore her at first, but typical Clara would never let me stay alone in peace."Conrad what have you done to yourself?" She questioned amidst quick strides towards me. "Have you been drinking?" She added immediately she got the scent of alcohol fr

    KatherineIt was autumn, my best season of the year. I liked autumn because it signified transitions and new beginnings which was exactly what had happened to me.The mix of warm and cool colors and leaves on trees changing from green to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, creating a picturesque landscape was just beautiful. These leaves eventually fall to the ground, creating a crisp, rustling sound as they brush against one another in the wind.The cool autumn air often accompanied by strong and gusty winds blows the leaves around. The air was always full of the smell of burning wood, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice emanating from households as families light up fires and bake delicious treats to warm up.It was all perfect as was my life now.I was sitted on the couch in my sitting room taking in the contents of the news that I could understand while reflecting on my life."Ricardo."I caught a glimpse of the name on the television screen and my mind wandered to all that happen

    Conrad'"Keep them both detained," I barked at one of the warriors. I couldn't afford letting Andrea and Ricardo's girlfriend slip out of my grasp. Thankfully, my warriors had come on time to save me from getting shot by Andrea, but they might not always be available and it seemed to me that he was like a beast that could attack at anytime. They were chained but there was no telling what they could have up their sleeves.I turned back to tend to Ricardo's body lying half dead on the floor. He had been shot in the chest.Before we left the field where everything had happened, Katherine had somehow managed to notice that Ricardo was still breathing though it was with so much trouble. We managed to get him back to the pack mansion to see if there was a way that we could save him, and though I feared that the chances were slim, I could not just put it to Katherine like that. It was definitely going to hurt her so much. And just as I went on with my thought process, her voice interrupt

    Katherine.It made no sense, all that Rachael was saying. I had just met her yesterday without a proper introduction even and suddenly, she had been planning on destroying my life and ruining my marriage.I turned to Riccardo, hoping that one of us would make sense of what Rachael was saying, but his eyes were on his girlfriend, obviously disappointed by her actions. I could feel the rage surging through his veins, and I reached for his hand and squeezed it lightly. I was disappointed and angry too, but I needed my child alive. “Quit the drama, Rachael, and hand my child over to me. It's obvious you don't know me, I can understand you are angry that Conrad and I are back together but, you don't know me, so please, hand me back my child. How can you all of a sudden be the one who has been trying to kill me when I don't know you.”“Argh!” She yelled out in frustration as she dumped my child into Ricardo's girlfriend's hands, “That right there is what you do that makes me mad, I attack y

    Katherine.A feeling of nostalgia hit my stomach as we pulled up in front of Conrad’s house, a place that was once mine, too. I had only been away for a year, yet it felt as though it had been an eternity. Blowing out a rush of air, I turned to look at Conrad to meet his eyes on mine.“You are nervous,” he said with certainty in his voice and I nodded, “don’t be, please. You don’t have any reasons to.” I nodded again as he took my hand to give it a light squeeze.“Okay,” I said in response to the look he was giving me. Reaching for the back seat, he grabbed the baby carrier and stepped out of the car while hurrying to my side to help me out.I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my nerves down, yet my stomach churned as we stepped into the front porch. With the glass of wine left on the table there, I figured Conrad's mom was around, and those pair of critic's eyes were the first thing I met as we stepped into the house.“Katherine?” Her eyes were narrowed in surprise. She dropped the

    ConradI was on the road like a maniac, according to Ricardo, Katherine was somewhat being held hostage at home and he wanted me to assist in breaking her out. I understood perfectly well what he meant, and I was rushing over there to carry out what was required of me. I wasn't doing this because of some sort of feelings attached, Katherine had saved me moments ago, it was only natural that I paid her back what I owed. My mother Lina was against my coming here, but there was no way I was letting someone who had saved me moments ago just get killed or harassed. She probably feared that me getting friendly with Katherine was going to trigger some sort of feelings in me, but after assuring her that my loyalty laid with Rachel, she allowed me to leave.The car came to a halt in front of the Patterson mansion, and without hesitation I stormed into into the place. On my way I had knocked down some few guards who dared to oppose me, but I did well not to kill them. In fact I was done with t

    KatherineI stood in awe at the scene before me while trying to digest everything I had just witnessed. Frank was dead, and to be killed by Conrad? It was definitely a twist I hadn't expected. Nothing was ever as it seemed, I thought Clara was evil and all, but now I was convinced that monsters existed, and for some reason I felt like there was a greater evil lying in wait for the perfect time. I had no idea what to do at this point. Should I console Conrad or take my leave? Leaving when Conrad was at verge of breaking down emotionally was definitely a bad idea. He had just lost his best friend, there was no way I could just straight up leave without saying some words of comforts to him at least."I'm sorry things turned out this way. I never expected this to happen." "It's okay, you did the right thing, everything is my fault. Thank you for the help." Conrad replied. I was honestly surprised he was even able to speak in such a state, he was definitely stronger than I had imagined.

    ConradI sat quietly before the council, and so did the other attendants of this meeting. Ever since Clara's murder I hadn't gotten a whiff of anything good. Things were spiraling out of control with every passing minute, and now here I was seated before the wolf council, waiting to be tried for a murder I didn't commit.Clara's father was present, as well as Lina and Rachel alongside Frank. The anxiety was clear on everybody's face, aside from Frank who has been awfully neutral about this entire case. "So tell me Mr Alaric, what evidence do you have to back up your claims of innocence? Do you have an alibi that can confirm your location at the time of Clara's kidnap and murder?"I didn't have anyone who I could say was my alibi, whoever that was framing me had done the job almost perfectly, I had no arguments to throw out as a claim of my innocence except saying it. "Do you really have to ask if that Monster did it?! The evidence is clear, he murdered my daughter and he should be pu

    Katherine.The compound was bustling with people who were coming in to drop off the things that Dad, Andrea and Theresa had ordered for the wedding…my wedding and from my window with which I had been looking down from for the past few days, I admired the workers, at least, they were really working hard toward the wedding and not unenthusiastic as I was.My eyes followed the two men who had brought flowers as they walked back to their car and started the engines to leave. I was waiting for something to happen and just as I expected, the guards by the gate stopped then to thoroughly search their car. “Oh come on,” I groaned with a sigh as I backed away from the window. The security around the house had grown too tight since the first day Theresa came, and I wondered if Dad had read my thoughts and seen my desire to run away or if it was Andrea who was trying all he could to see I married him.Given the now tight security, my desire to run seemed near-impossible but, I needed to leave t

    Conrad.The person staring back at me in the mirror was not me, he may look like me but, he certainly wasn't me, he was the shadow of my old self, but I did like him. I appreciate the way he mocked me, his eyes, they mocked me and I appreciate it, his mocking glare was the only thing that kept me sane. It was the only thing that reminded me that I was not supposed to break.'You are an Alpha, Conrad, you have a pack to lead,' that was what he said to me.The door to my room came open and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Rachael walk in, she was the other thing that kept me sane. Her reassuring words and her pleasant smiles had been of great help these past few days.“Leaving for work already?” She asked as she went to occupy the couch that was positioned next to the dressing table.Running my fingers through my hair, I turned my body to her before slowly tearing my eyes away from the mirror, "yeah, I think it's time I went back to the office, I have lots of things to do at the office
