Murmurs began in the room, the flashes from the camera reduced and Victor looked as if a dog had bitten his ears.
Fianceé?
Grace immediately froze. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. She looked at the calm man beside her who placed a hand on her back patting her back, in a way to tell her not to say anything.
Alpha Nelson Divine.
As in President of the Divine group international Alpha Nelson Divine? The only grandson of the richest family in the world? The real Alpha Nelson Divine?
Grace gulped and quickly averted her eyes, looking at her palm. As a fianceé, she was supposed to know his position and should not act too surprised knowing who he was. She tried to stay calm, without fiddling her fingers too much.
Victor immediately scoffed. “Unbelievable,” He folded his arms and smirked looking at Alpha Nelson.
“What would a highly renowned CEO be found in an area like this? I don't believe you. You are just trying to deceive us.
If it was the Alpha Nelson Divine I know, he would probably be dining in the world's biggest hotel not a four-star hotel like this Grace knew she should stay calm in this situation and not say anything but she couldn't keep it in.
She took a deep breath and felt Victor's gaze on her. She looked at him expressionlessly, she forced herself to do it even though she was hurt and sad. That the person she loved would do something like this.
“I suggested it,” Grace said. She managed to blush and tighten the blanket around her. “I suggested to him that we meet here because it has been a long time since we saw each other and he was around the area. He didn't mind.
She raised her head and looked at the reporters in the room. “I suggest you all leave before you get into more trouble than you already are in.
This is a private session between two couples. It's not nice to have people staring at me
Luckily enough, the reporters were smart enough to understand and quickly apologized leaving just Victor in the room who was about to say something.
“You are not leaving?” Alpha Nelson asked him.
Victor watched him for a while before collecting his phone and furiously typing something.
He looked up from his phone screen and looked at Alpha Nelson. He did that a couple of times, his expression becoming dreadful as each moment passed.
“Mr…Mr…” he gulped. His head quickly bowed. “Mr. Divine I apologize for what I had caused you.I did not expect that you would be the person my lover would have used for this situation. I did not know. I would make sure not to share any rumors about you.”
Grace scoffed. She couldn't believe he called Cindy his lover in front of her. Her head slightly turned to the side, tears were already brimming in her eyes.
Victor was also a CEO. Vice chairman of the Digital consult group. Their family had known each other and thought it was wise for the two to get married.
She was always spending time with him and him alone.
But after her father lost his position, the family was nice enough to let her join their company as an accountant.
Victor felt she should work elsewhere and that it might be bad for her image if he let her work with them. It could look like she got in through a connection.
So she worked as an accountant in a publishing company. Junior accountant and she was too busy to even be with him as before.
But he always called. He always cared. Was that all for naught? Did he never love her for him to drug someone and then put her in this situation?
“You,” Victor said, pointing at Grace.
“Get up from the bed now."
Alpha Nelson who had removed his hand from her back then said
“That's no way to talk to my fianceé. You should leave before I change my mind about calling the cops."
Victor gave her a hateful glance before walking out.
Alpha Nelson just gave her a simple gaze before getting up and heading to the bathroom.
With that Grace was left alone in the room. She didn't waste any more time before leaving the hotel room.
As she walked out of the hotel lobby, she glanced around cautiously before heading down the street.
After ensuring she was alone, she made her way to the nearest dilapidated building.
As the moon's silver light spilled over her, her skin tingled with an unsettling sensation.
With a deep, guttural growl, she moved to the edge of the building, her muscles contorting and bones shifting as an otherworldly force coursed through her.
The metamorphosis surged through her, an overwhelming and almost surreal ordeal she could never quite get used to.The sensations were intense as her body tingled, and convulsed.
With a primal howl that pierced the silence, her form twisted and changed, fur sprouting across her skin, limbs elongating into powerful limbs, and teeth sharpening into formidable fangs.
The world below looked miniature from her new vantage point, and with an exhilarating rush of adrenaline, she leaped into the night, now a creature of the moon and shadows – a fearsome werewolf.
Her eyes growing keener and more vibrant, adapted for nocturnal pursuits. The change was completed with spasms and shudders, leaving her bewildered yet exhilarated.
Testing her abilities, she flexed her powerful limbs and felt the brush of fur against fur.
The air caught her as she surged upwards, her howl of excitement echoing through the night.
Grace, a rare shifter with the ability to transform into a werewolf raced through the city streets, her senses alive with the scent of humanity and the rhythm of urban life.
A symphony of sounds faded into the background as her heightened senses took over, guiding her back home under the pale moon's embrace, her being now one with the night.
With the moon as her guide, she finally returned home under its pale glow, her mind cleansed of the past events.
In a world where shapeshifters were few, Grace stood out. Her mother had shared this unique gift, but circumstances had robbed her of it.
Her brother could not shapeshift and till their father left them, he never knew that he had shapeshifters in his family.
Her mum had said he could have sold them for money.
As for her situation, tomorrow she would have to face the consequences and ask him why he had done that to her. She needed answers.
Grace opened the apartment door and went inside. Putting on the light, the first thing her eyes met was her mother who stood before her with an angry expression.
“Mum… Pak!
A slap across her face was enough to send her body to the floor.
“A disappointment! A disgrace, that's exactly what you are!” Grace felt her body turn cold as she remembered the drunk encounter she had with her mother last night. Her mother was always drunk and there was nothing she could do about it. Grace did not want to think about it anymore and focused on the man who stood in front of her. “How do you sleep at night knowing what you did?” Grace asked him, her face Stony and her eyes glaring at him. Victor scoffed, relaxing on the railings of the balcony. “Your mother slapped you again?" “That should not concern you. What you did was worse than being slapped. You planned for me to get raped. You drugged me “You should be glad that you had someone like that be your first. I am sure you are screaming with joy inside." “Seriously? Would you just answer my question." Victor sighed, running his hand through his dark hair. “Look Grace, I wanted this engagement to end as simply as it started. I found someone I loved.
Had she expected that Alpha Nelson would clear the rumor? Yes, she has. Very much so. Unfortunately, life doesn't seem to go as planned. A close-up of her face was shown. Anyone who knew her would recognize her after seeing this photo. With such clarity, even if she denied it and said that the woman in the photo was not her, no one would believe it. “Wow. I never knew you were such a big shot, Grace.” Kiana said. Grace took a deep breath, turned around, and sat back down at her desk under the envious gaze of her colleagues with pale faces. Just by listening to the chatter, Grace could not help but shiver a little, while raising her hand to cover her forehead and closing her eyes to calm her mind. “Grace, are you alright? You are shivering.” Kiana's concerned voice sounded again, but Grace only shook her head. Without a word, she switched on her computer on her desk, and in the next few minutes, every search engine had the same headline. It was trending and t
The club was one of the most famous clubs in the city. Grace had just gotten out of the taxi when a young man walked up to her to greet her. “Are you Miss Valdes?” He asked. She paused for a moment, staring at the man in a suit with suspicion. Seeing the vigilance in her eyes, the man smiled in understanding. He then spoke in a low voice “Mr. Divine is here and is currently waiting for you on the 15th floor. Grace nodded, then followed the man into the clubhouse, taking the elevator to the 15th floor. She could see a pool behind the glass doors as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. Two people were guarding the door, when they saw her they looked at the young man whom she had come in contact with before nodding and letting her in. The moment she walked in, her eyes landed on the figure swimming inside the swimming pool like an experienced swimmer. He was wearing a short black swimming knicker without a shirt and she could see his body very clearly. His fig
Immediately Grace was done signing the marriage certificate she dropped the pen down, turned and looked at him. Alpha Nelson took the pen and signed his signature too on the marriage certificate." I will be going to my house now." Grace said after they were done with the signature. "Not so fast wifey." Alpha Nelson said. " What do you want again?" Grace asked as she turned and faced him. "As a married woman don't you think you are supposed to be everywhere your husband is?" Alpha Nelson asked her in a teasing manner. "Are you asking me to sit down here and just watch you?" Grace asked. "That sounds great, as least you are watching the hottest body in the whole world" Alpha Nelson replied,smirking.Grace just rolled her eyes wondering what kind of man she has gotten married to. Nelson came closer to her and Grace felt her leg became weak.He was really happy seeing the effects he had on her. Who won't be? With how good looking he is with his six packs. "Actually Mr. Divine, I
The moment Grace got to the door of her boss's office she tookna breath she never knew she was holding.After she was done, she knocked on the door of the office." " Come in." A deep voice said from inside. And she immediately pushed the door open and went in. "Sir, you sent for me?" She asked her boss. " Yes Miss Valdez please sit down. Her boss said in a polite manner." And she immediately sat down. " Hope there is no problem sir?" She asked him. " I don't want to beat around the bush. Is Mr. Nelson Divine Truly your fiance as the post only says?" Her boss asked. "Ehh!" Grace tried to come up with a good lie but to no avail."How am I going to tell her boss that Mr. Divine is actually her husband and not just her fiance?" She asked herself while still in doubt on what to say to her boss. "I know that is your personal matter and you don't want to say anything but that is not why I call you to my office." Her boss said after seeing how quiet she was. She was grateful that h
"Grace!" Kiana called." Won't you go home? She asked. "Home?" Grace asked and looked at her watch, it was past 6 pm. She was so drained at her work that she forgot to check her time. "Thanks, but you go ahead I will leave shortly" She said to Kiana. She then starts parking her stuff inside her bag. When she took her phone from her bag and checked it, she saw five missed calls from a strange number. "Ohh! No. Mr. Divine told me I should be expecting his call. And now I miss his calls" Grace said as she lamented to herself."Hope he doesn't get mad at me for not picking his calls" she thought.At that moment she was done packing her bag and organzing her table, so she walked out of her office.When she stepped outside the company, there was a Black Range rover waiting for her. "Mrs. Divine!" The body guard said as he opened the back seat door for her to enter. Behind was the face of the man, her boss asked to invite for an exclusive interview. She immediately entered the car. "
It was 6 am in the morning when the alarm Clock of Grace started ringing. With a heavy eye Grace stressed out her hand and turned off the alarm. Let me sleep for 5 minutes again. She said to herself and dozed off. "Sis, sis, Wake up it's almost 6:30 you will be late for work." Grace heard someone saying in her dream land. "Sis, you need to wake up your phone is Ringing and it's your boss calling you." Grace's brother said. With the mention of her Boss Grace immediately woke up from her sleep and got down from the bed."Sis, your phone has been ringing and it's your boss calling." Elvis said the moment he saw that his sister was awake. Grace took her phone from him. There were 5 Miss calls from her boss and when she checked the time it was 6:35 am. Oh no. "I am late from work." Grace said as she thanked her brother and rushed to the bathroom to take her shower. 20 minutes later, Grace was already ready to go to work. So, she walked out of her room. Where she saw her mother and
Nathan, go find out if Gerald was able to drop off my wife at her place of work. Alpha Nelson said the moment he entered his office.Okay boss. Nathan said and walked out of the office. "Do you love her? Nelson wolf asked." Of course not. Have you forgotten she is not our mate. Alpha Nelson said to his wolf.Are you sure you don't love her? Because I don't want any problems when our mate shows up in the future. His wolf said. There will be no problem. Have you forgotten our marriage with her is just a contract marriage which will end within 2 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 6 days? Alright, if you say so. I have always respect and follow any decisions you make. Nelson wolf said. You have too. You don't have a choice since you are stuck with me. Alpha Nelson said to his wolf. Just then Nathan walked inside the office. Alpha, Gerald said, "He just dropped Mrs. Divine at her place of work. Nathan said.Good. Alpha Nelson answered and just then his phone started ringing. "Nathan, who is
