Chapter- 4

Sirena’s POV

“What the hell are you doing?” Alder hurriedly took Grace in his arms. Seeing that made me furious. I knew without his invite she won’t be here and they are back together. Not even a day has passed since we got divorced. I can’t believe how desperate Alder is. He’s been waiting for the perfect time for all these days. He must know that she’s back and they must have seen each other in private yesterday. Now she’s back, that’s why he easily agreed for the divorce, he doesn’t want me anymore.

I feel disgusted by all of this. He said I am shameless but the truth is, he’s shameless in all levels. I can’t believe how I lived with him for the past three years. He’s not the man I wanted in my life. I hate him so much and I saw the same revulsion in his eyes.

“He again misunderstood us,” Lulu said seeing the look on Alder’s face.

“I don’t care, Lulu. It’s not the first time he misunderstood us. He can touch anyone, love anyone and do anything he wants. I am no longer going to mind anything. He’s none of my business,” I replied.

Lulu felt bad to see the anger on Alder’s face. I couldn’t comprehend why she still fears him when there’s no need at all. There are a lot of times, he acted mean but right now his eyes showed absolute animosity, it bothered me a little.

“What you think you’re doing, Sirena?” he frowned.

I didn’t flinch nor got anxious which I used to do whenever he raises his voice at me.

“Apologize to Grace,” he said. I stood there without uttering a word. It frustrates me so much, when I haven’t done anything wrong and he wanted me to apologize as if I am still his slave.

I can’t stand here anymore and hear all these nonsenses. I tried to walk away as I thought that’s the best thing instead of fighting with him.

But Alder stopped me abruptly, “Apologize to her now,” in his commanding Alpha tone, Alder yelled at me. My shoulders shook in dear and I yet I remained calm. I am not going to obey him. There’s no need at all. He stared at me, demanding an apology from me.

Lulu pushed me speak up; she’s pissed off that they didn’t deserve a such anger from him.

“We are divorced now and you aren’t my Alpha anymore. Don’t raise your voice at me,” I retorted calmly. I am surprising him with my attitude since morning, I can see it in his face. When he heard Grace wincing in pain, he turned his attention to her. I am surprised she’s still continuing her act as a victim. He immediately went to calm her down.

“Are you okay?” he asks in utmost care.

“Yes,” Grace nodded and hugged him. He helped her to stand and held her close to him.

The way Alder believes Grace’s deceit make my blood boiled in anger. For the first time, I couldn’t walk away from this. I hate to argue with people as no one is ready to listen to me. 

I can’t walk away with this false image that I am a terribly person, instead I want to make it true. I want to be the bad person; I want to get rid of the feeling that I am a fool. I decided to do something that I never thought of doing. This situation is tempting me to become malicious.

I walked towards Grace, not minding Alder’s gaze. I didn’t scruple, I looked at her face for a moment and she stared back in confusion. I didn’t think twice and slapped her hard. They both were shocked by what I have done. Alder’s face darkened in anger; he pushed me off like I am piece of trash. I fell onto the floor; it didn’t hurt me much but how he’s foolishly clinging onto her makes me irritated. Why it is so hard for him to seethe truth.

It's my time to show the truth if he doesn’t believe it, then its his loss. I took my phone and gave it to Alder. He’s not ready to listen to me, but I continued anyway.

“Don’t you want to know who drugged you last night?” I asked, getting his attention. Grace turned uncomfortable to hear it.

“Who? I think it’s you,”

I got annoyed, “You’re a fool, Alder,” I said.

Alder gritted. He’s controlling his anger; I can see it.

“You always see me as someone who ruined your life. It’s fine. You lack common sense and I understand you love her, blindly, but you should also know the truth,” I said.

“What truth?” Alder asks.

“I can’t waste my time when you’re not interested to listen to me,” I said.

“Alder, she’s going to lie again. Just send her away,” Grace said.

Alder paid no attention to Grace’s words; his wolf pushed him to hear what Sirena wanted to say. Everything seems fishy since the moment he entered this villa. He doesn’t know why Grace is here without his invite and who let her inside this place. No way, Sirena would do that.

“Tell me what’s the truth, Sirena,” he said.

I am glad that he wanted to listen to me, the first and last time. 

“I didn’t drug you, last night I haven’t called you. You came here and I hope you remember the rest,” I said.

“This morning, I mind linked a warrior to investigate it. Grace was the last person you met last night, am I right?”

“Yes, so what?” Alder asks.

“It was her who put something that caused you to hallucinate. She asked the driver to take you to the pack’s hotel where she stayed but the driver who’s loyal to me, safely brought you back here. This is what happened last night,” I said and played the audio of Grace ordering the driver. Alder looked at Grace, she couldn’t look Alder in the eyes, her face turned pale.  

“You were intimate with me, thinking it’s Grace. I didn’t do anything; I wasn’t dishonest with you. I tried my best to be your companion but you never understood me. This is the truth, stop putting the blame on me, Alder” I said and turned to Grace.

“You need to stop your act, it’s too pathetic,”

Alder got convinced that whatever I said is true, yet he looked at me in that cold and distant way.

“You’re a liar. You’re jealous that Alder loves me that’s why you’re putting the blame on me,” Grace complained.

“Not at all. He’s all yours now. I divorced him. My intention is not to make him fall in love with me, I don’t want to leave this place, taking the bad name. I have been loyal to this pack ever since I came here, and I have been faithful to Alder ever since I married him. At least I want to leave in peace,”

Alder is confused about what to say, I am not going to wait to hear what he wanted to say about all this. I took my phone back.

“This is my goodbye gift to you, Alder,” I smiled and he stared at me fixedly.

I walked out of the pack house.

“You did the right thing, Sirena. I am proud of you,” Lulu said.

I grinned, “I should have done this long before. I am sorry,” I apologized, “I let him hurt us a lot of times,”

“It’s okay, don’t apologize,” he said, “He didn’t deserve you,”

“Yes, you’re right,” I agreed sadly.
