Annettes POV

I got promoted to bar manager at my job, I have thrown myself into work since the affair, I just can't stand to be around him, plus I know he is lying and still seeing her, I see messages between them and every now and then I feel the sting in my heart when he is sleeping with her. The only solice I find other than work are my boys and Meda. Oh and of course my girls from my human job, whom I've told all about my cheating whore of a husband. "Annette, how about we go out for a drink tonight" Denise says, she is one of my bartenders, she has worked here with me the longest and I love her energy, she is so spunky with her short brown hair and gauge earrings, she has huge snake tattoo coming up her arm and she has the best dance moves. " Oh Denise, I'd love to but I have to get back home for the kids" I tell her. "Annette, you have really got to get out for once and let go, let your ass of a husband take care of the kids tonight and come paarrrttyy" she sings the ending out. " I cant" I laugh at her sillyness "He just moved out, he is going to live with her and "sleep on her couch" while he tries to work things out with me" I tell her as I roll my eyes. "Divorce him girl! You know he is just using that as an excuse so he can have his cake and eat it too" I can't help but laugh as does Meda, the cake phrase humans use always makes Meda giggle but I also laugh because she is right, I know better, I need to at least tell Alpha Mark whats going on, surely he will let me divorce him, he can't still be holding on to what I said to him from 5 years ago..right? "You're so right Denise, I gotta get going though, love ya, I'll see you tomorrow!" I say as I wave and exit the store. I do love her. I am not sure why so many wolves don't like humans, I think they're great.

"Meda lets go tell Alpha Mark, what do you think?" I ask her in my mind, "Hell yea girl, tell him, tell him!" she chants back making me laugh out loud, alright to the packhouse I go then!

I arrive at the packhouse after a quick change at home, shit, Lorenzo is at the entrance. He grabs me by the arm and pulls me around the corner of the house outside, "what do you think your doing here" he snarls at me, knowing full well of the threat earlier. "I am going to fill our Alpha in on what his little Gamma's been doing while on duty, and in the pack house no less" I say as I pretend to be shocked and put my hand on my chest, I hear Champs growl come from him as his eyes flicker black letting me know he is angry too. "You will not, go home" he says in a low menancing voice, but I'm not intimidated easily, never have been "And if I don't? what are you going to do about it" I say pushing his hand off my arm. His eyes glaze over for a second, he must be mind linking someone. Then he comes to and picks me up in a bear hug hold and carries me to his car where he doesn't say a word, when we get to our house I get out infuriated and go inside and start throwing his clothes in the yard telling him he doesnt live there anymore and leave. I stop when the baby sitter pulls up and the boys get out of her car, "Mommy! we missed you today!" they say running up to me with their sweet innocent faces. "I missed you too boys, go get cleaned up, I'll be making dinner soon" I don't want to continue the argument in front of our children so I tell him just leave and go inside and close the door.

BAM! the door slams open and hits the wall before I know it he grabs me and throws me in our room and slams me on the bed, he picks me up again and throws me into the closet "THIS IS YOUR FAULT" he screams at me "You need to leave!" I say back, he picks me up again and holds me down on the bed with my arms tight to my side so I can't move. "IF YOU WERE A BETTER WIFE THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING" he yells again. I can feel the pain in my arms from his grip, it's a grip I just can't get out of no matter how hard I try, I look over his shoulder I can see the boys run into our room yelling at him not to hurt mommy and it breaks my heart they are seeing this and that he is doing this in front of them. He never put his hands on me before, so I am shocked myself. "Im going to take away the only thing you care about, the boys are coming with me" he snarls in a low voice. "boys go get in my car" they dont move, "BOYS GO" they run off afraid, he knows I'm fast so he has to be quick, he puts one foot way behind him close to the door, lets me go and in one motion is out the door and locks me in the room to slow me down, I get the door unlocked and sprint to the driveway where luckily my boys were still standing. I run in front of them to keep Lorenzo back, I glance over to see that Veronica has arrived, she is standing there with a sick grin on her face. I tell the boys to go inside, as we are rushing back inside I hear it before I can get to the door :click click: it's the sound of a gun, i turn just in time to see it, it was like it happened in slow motion him raising the gun up. BOOM.
