Four

I wasn’t telling him, or anyone. They didn’t deserve to know, no one cared. Trent would want to keep me under tabs for his child which is the exact same reason I didn’t want him to know. I didn’t want to see him again, ever. He had nearly ruined my mental health and my sanity. I didn’t want another heartbreak. Besides he wasn’t worth it. He didn’t deserve to know.

The first thing that had came to my mind when Sparkle dropped the bomb was;

Tell him, Trent would be overjoyed. Maybe he would love you back.

But the image of his snarling face filled with so much hate had filled my head and I thought bettet of it. He probably would keep me until I give birth, then he would throw me out.

Not happening.

I stepped out of the hotel and drove to my company. Or rather Trent’s company which he put in my name. At least it was the one thing I loved which he didn’t take away and funny enough it was because I agreed to sign the divorce papers. I pushed open the glass doors and walked it. It was the stares that made me feel like something was wrong. Julia, the receptionist gave me a cold look.

“Can we help you” she said and my eyes widened.

Can we help you? This is my freaking company’.

“Umm you seem to realize you work as a receptionist here right” I asked and she scowled.

“Yeah I know that, and I also know that you are not my boss” she seethed.

“What?” I exclaimed, “What are you talking about?”

“She’s talking about Trent handing over the company to me” came Candice’s voice behind me and I whirled around staring at her in shock.

“That a lie” I said and she grinned.

“Well it’s true. Trent handed over the company to you. Blotted out you name among the rights to own it” she said and I have her my most angry stare.

“Liar, Trent told me if I sighed the papers then I could keep the company” I insisted and Candice laughed.

“You’re so blind and delusional Veronica. You thought he was gonna keep that promise? How naive can you even get?” She said and tossed me a set of papers. My heart shattered again to a million pieces when I saw my the rights given to Candice on the paper signed and authorized by the bureau.

“Ta-da! The company is now mine. There’s nothing for you Veronica. No one cares about you and your beautiful face”she said and I nodded sadly.

“You’re evil and one day I’ll take my revenge” I said and she laughed hard, a cold cruel mocking laughter.

“Even the moon goddess doesn’t like. Because if she did this she wouldn’t be happening to you.” She mocked and I smiled.

“Thank you for letting me know how evil you are” I said and she grinned.

“I am not evil Ver, no one just loves and would ever love you” she said and I growled.

“I don’t need anyone’s love” I said and he smiled.

“Of course” she said sarcastically. “So why don’t you get the fuck out of my company and go back to whatever slithering hole you crawled out from” she said. I scowled.

“I….”

“Guards” she screamed and I nodded. I could hear everyone laughing and I nodded. Now I know my enemies.

The drive back to the hotel seemed longer, I had to stop to try and hold myself together not to give in to the tears. It had taken all my willpower not to let my anger to the surface and rip off Candice's face. I wasn’t a violent person but the need to do that to Candice at that moment had been so strong. 

I needed to forget. I needed to something to drown my sorrows. I needed something to drink, I drove to a popular pub I knew and parked outside. I just sat there collecting my thoughts, having no idea thing everywhere was dark.

Evening perfect, time to drink.

“One bottle of vodka please” I yelled and the bartender nodded and disappeared behind the counter he came back with a bottle of vodka in his hand ms I snatched it from him and tossed him a wad of cash.

“Thank you…”

“Just go” I growled, not even in the mood. I tried drinking it all at once and I gritted my teeth at the strong taste so I just resorted to taking it in sips. I could feel the drink relaxing my nerves and going right to my head. 

I kept on drinking till I started to feel tipsy. Werewolves don’t get drunk easily and it would take like an outrageous amount of drinking to make us drunk and yes that was what I did. I could feel stares all around me and I couldn’t blame them. It wasn’t everyday humans see a strange woman drinking up to fourteen bottles of vodka just to drown her sorrows. I imagined how it would be and I chuckled.

The door opened and a very handsome looking man stepped in. The moment he stepped in I could sense he was no human, he had this powerful aura around him, so powerful I could feel my wolf retreating which meant one thing……he was an alpha. He looked so handsome that all I could do was stare at his face, even Trent felt like a kid compared to this perfection at the door. He turned to the barkeep and whispered something. I could feel the superior alpha vibe coming off him.

He was an alpha, what was an alpha doing here? This isn’t your territory wolfie.

Then he turned as if he heard that and headed in my direction.

    Five How could someone look so handsome yet dangerous at the same time? I watched as he headed my direction and sat in the chair in front of him. I flashed him a drunken grin.“Hi” I said and he ignored me. Or rather just stared, like he was seeing someone for the first time.“Hi” I said again and he still kept mute.“Hi Dammit!” I said and slammed my fist on the table. Those green eyes darkened and he shot me a very strong and warning look.‘My wolf whimpered and I leaned back. Something told me that this man could kill me right here in front of these people if he wanted to and nothing would happen.“Fine, I am sorry” I said and he nodded. He watched as I took another drink and his eyes narrowed.My eyes wandered to his lips and I licked mine.“You wanna huh ... .spend the night?” I said and he growled. If I thought Trent’s wolf was scary then I needed a recheck. The sound of that growl made me shift back, my hairs stood on end and my heart pounded. It sounded like a real

Is the big alpha about to reject me?" I asked him, my voice purring and my speech slurred.He pulled closer to me, his breath fanning my lips as he sniffed me, moving closer to my ears, filling me with an Indescribable need to have his lips in between my teeth.Then he slowly whispered into my ears," You are so drunk. If you have another drink you might end up throwing up all over me. Get up while I'm still being civil" he said.I scowled at him, my cheeks heating up as I got up. Who did he think he was anyways.I huffed, walking back to my seat and ordering for more drinks, downing them in single gulps, very much aware that his eyes were still trained on me.He had no right to control me and I did not care about what he might think.My head grew foggy the more I drank and I forgot about e

I could not stop staring around, wondering if I would somehow get lost in this house now that it would be my new home.This was what opulence was. The golden crests that adorned the walls and the exotic flower vases that held a bundle of rose.He walked briskly, making me try my hardest to keep up with him as he turned a corner, his back lean and taut as though he was not striding faster than any average person.The room he led me to was painted blue. It was a nursery that held different kind of toys and different pictures of a smiling boy and Lloyd.I stared at one picture long and hard. The man in that portrait, holding the giggling boy was a far cry from the man that now led me into the room.I wanted to ask if he was a twin but somehow I knew he would not take that lightly.In the room sat a boy, his back turned against us but his dark hair unmistakenly like his father's."

Hazel, you should go now" he said, his voice holding the same non challancy it did when talking to me too. That seemed to comfort me. She was not that important to him.She turned to look at him now, her eyes temporarily leaving mine and I could almost sigh with relief. I was a few seconds away from crumbling under the weight of her eyes." But why baby? I have not even seen Cade. He is inside is he not? I will just pop in and say hi before leaving." She said but Lloyd stopped her again." Cade would like to be left alone for now. And I don't want you hanging around my son when I'm not around. You can come back later" he said.She scowled a little, but shrugged, walking towards him and planting another kiss on his lips, her e

I did not know what I was thinking when I asked her to work as a care taker for cade. Perhaps it was the drinks.I wanted to blame it also on those multi colored club lights that messed with my brains and did everything to increase my bad decisions skill.I contemplated leaving her in the elevator and waiting for her to figure it out herself. I had a meeting in one hour and this was not how I expected today to go.The growl my wolf gave me when I suggested leaving her there made me know I could not just leave.But looking at her, clutching at her chest as she tried to breath, I knew I did not have the heart to just leave her there.I pulled her out of the elevator, leading her to the female bathroom, not caring that the women in it shrieked as they saw me, dashing out and trying to cover their feminine bits.I nearly scowled in disgust.

I don't like you entering my room. Please leave" he said, his voice and his gait surprising me.In many ways, he was just like his father, that same regal demeanor surrounded him, his clear cut voice and bluntness. I swallowed, stuffing my nervousness deep down as I looked at him." Well I know we met a few hours ago and your dad told you my name but I would just like to formally reintroduce myself to you.

He wouldn't do this, not after taking away everything I had. He wouldn't take away the money I had too.The whole house was silent as I went down stairs in an attempt to not wake anyone up. I wondered if perhaps I would get in trouble with alpha Lloyd for leaving the house so late.My hands shook as I waited for the taxi I had called earlier. He knew this would get to me, he knew this would make me want to see him. That is why he had texted me the address of a cheap restaurant to meet him immediately I felt the urge to throw up again but I resisted, managing to sit through the car ride until I eventually arrived at the spot he asked to meet."

But I could not phantom why it hurt so much.My head, my shoulders, and my lower abdomen.I couldn't open my eyes..or perhaps I could, I was just not willing to try because I did not know what would await me when I did.Willing myself to finally Garner the courage, I pushed my eyelids open, the stinging darkness biting through my lids like a venomous creature, slowly forcing me to close my eyes again and open them.With my eyes now adjusted to the darkness, I could see that some strings of sunlight peeled from beneath the drapes that covered the windows, casting the room in utter darkness.Then, with the little courage that was now slowly starting to blossom in my stomach, I tried to get up, my legs feeling like lead as they finally hit the floor.I had taken just two steps when my feet decided to take a break, giving way almost instantly.I groaned, the shoulders that were already in max pain now ig

Three weeks of not hearing from any of them. Three weeks of not knowing if they were dead or alive.The urge to burst out of these walls and go back to look for them was one that kept me up most nights, but I still stayed.For the sake of cade and the fact that his mother swore to the goddess that they were fine, just busy.It was almost as though we were under house arrest. I was not allowed to step out of the door, the personal doctor alpha llyod hired being the only one thst could see me.But I still felt angsty.

If you know you can't do anything without your little bulk partner then I will just march into his house and kidnap the girl myself" he said.And as much as I tried to deny it, I knew he meant every single word.I took a sip of the bottled wine in my hands, now frustrated, regretting ever joining hands with him in the first place."
