Sometimes I do wonder if my mum had been alive, she would stand them doing this to her daughter but then again, they had also blamed me for her death, and I found it unfair. I wasn’t the moon goddess. I didn’t have the power of death and life in me.
“Please daddy, ” I cried out to him. I was pleading and begging for mercy.
“I am doing this for your own good,” he responded with no remorse in his eyes.
“Am I not your daughter, why would you watch me die?” I asked, puzzled about the kind of cruelty in his eyes.
” You are better off dead than without a wolf,” he finally said as he dropped down his hands and Sonia charged toward me. I had tried to outrun her, but she turbocharged and caught up with me. In a split of seconds, I had four broken bones, torn muscles, dislocation, and multiple separations. I had never felt such physical pain before caused by my own sister. It took months for me to heal after that.
But even with that experience, I was lucky because after regaining consciousness, the healer who had treated me had told me that I barely made it out with my life.
After that day, my father wouldn’t speak to me again because I had frustrated his last efforts of ever letting out my “wolf.”
*** PRESENT DAY***
When she walked into the room, she paused, and I saw a sense of disappointment on her face.
“Who were you expecting it to be,” I immediately teased with a smile on my face as I stood up to hug her though we were hindered from a full hug due to her already protruded baby bump.
“I thought it was Alex who had come back,” she replied, and I paused mid-hug.
I was aware Alex had planned to come and see my sister. Suddenly I became nervous. What if he had told her about the marriage, just like he had done with Ben? But that was part of my agreement with him that he wasn’t going to say to her.
Then again, if he had, she wouldn’t be hugging me. She would have welcomed me with a slap on my face.
“Really?” I was still puzzled by his purpose of visit but didn’t want to come off as desperate to know the reason why.
“Yes, though we didn’t talk much, I think he was overwhelmed by all this. This is the first time ever since I hurt him we had seen.” She said as we headed back to the table and sat opposite each other.
“You guys have not seen each other since all this started?” I asked, even though I was perfectly aware of the answer.
“Yes, but I am glad I saw him today,” she said with a smile on her face.
“Why?” I asked briefly again, trying to be careful with my words in order not to come off as too inquisitive.
“Because it made me realize how wrong I was by leaving him or cheating on him.” She paused and reached out for my hand, “he had been the most affected by all this,”
Was she fucking kidding me? Was she trying to invalidate my struggles, my sister fucked my husband, and I am not the least affected?
“Don’t get me wrong, I know it had been a lot on you, and it had not been easy, but he was left crippled by all this,”
“He was left crippled by a battle,” I corrected her almost defensively, and she paused for a second.
“When Ben found out I was pregnant, he allied with the sizzlers to kill Alpha Alex so that we can be together,”
My eyes widened at this new sense of revelation, so the battle with the sizzlers was an attempt by them to get away with cheating. That act alone is treason, and it is punishable by death.
“You are the only one I am telling this to, but I think Alpha Alex wants to forgive me. Thank God you didn’t accept his proposal. At least now I have a little hope,” she said, sounding optimistic, and I couldn’t help but feel down.
What would happen if she would ever find out that I got married to Alex?
Sonia would kill me.
Alexander’s POV…
I felt so weak. Caleb kept looking at me on our way back; he knew I wasn’t able to confront Sonia, considering the amount of time I had stayed there. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to face her, but I felt I wasn’t ready.
Truth be told, I could say I loved Sonia, and she meant the world to me at a point in my life. But getting the kind of betrayal I did from her came as a blow to me, and it changed my perspective on love. And now, on the other hand, there is Edwina. I think I respect the woman she is, and I like her, but she still seems to be so in love with Ben. After all that undeserving prick had done to her, she still chose to love him. Her love is loyal, and I think that’s the kind of love I need, not the sort that Sonia gave, which was only loyal to me in certain conditions.
As I wheeled myself into the high-rise building of my company and greetings flew from left and right, I could only wave. Since I got married, this was the first time I showed up to work, and the only reason I had come was that I had an extremely important meeting with the head of the sizzlers, Alpha Bethel.
I was shocked when I received the email from my Secretary Ramona about the meeting. This was the last meeting I was expecting to happen.
Since the time they attacked the night howlers and crippled me, there had not been any form of communication with them.
I wheeled past the conference room where I saw Alpha Bethel sitting down with his Beta Andrew, and three of his Omega stood outside. It was a see-through glass window so I could observe everything from my office.
When entering a rival territory, it is only sensible to go prepared, and that is what Alpha Bethel did. Ramona, my secretary, knocked and impatiently entered my office.
“Sir, they have been waiting for over thirty minutes,” she mumbled.
“Good morning to you too, Ramona,” Caleb, who was standing beside me, replied, and I smiled.
“I am sorry, Alpha Alexander,” she said, facing me and rolling her eyes at Caleb, “Good morning, sir. The guests are waiting in the conference room,” she said, this time composing herself the more.
I grinned. “Thank you, Ramona. Inform them I will be here shortly,”
“Okay, sir,” she replied and left the room.
