was.
“What have you done now? Did you hurt her? Why did she leave? How could you do this to your mate?”
The flurry of accusations would never end.
“Katherine, listen to me, I have not rejected her. I mean, not the way you are assuming. Consider this as a part of the investigation. Someone from the pack started that fire, and I have to find that person.”
“Oh!” Katherine stopped and blinked.
“I am sorry for my insolence, Alpha,” she said, bowing down.
“It’s fine Katherine, now please spread this rumour,” I said.
“Rumor?” She raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, as a rumour, I just have this feeling that the target was Alice, once the culprit is assured that she is no longer in the picture, he or she might get lax and give away some clue.”
“I see,” she nodded with understanding. “I will do as you command, Alpha.”
“Alpha, when is Madam Luna coming back?” She asked before leaving.
“As soon as she starts missing me,” I grinned.
Alice Anderson, you will beg me to take you back. I smirked.
*****************
Alice’s POV –
I was missing Lucian, his touch, his smell, his laugh, his voice, the way he kissed me, the way he held me in bed… Damm! I was going wet just thinking about it.
“So, when is your fianc?e arriving?” Emma remarked.
“What?” I replied, waking up from my reverie.
She smirked.
“Mark, when is he arriving, I mean what time?”
“Evening 4,” I replied absentmindedly, hugging my pillow.
“Great! I have booked a hotel for you in the city. Bobby can drive you….”
“No, I don’t want anyone with me. I will go alone.” I spoke.
“Rick will raise hell if he finds out,” Emma said.
“I know that is why you need your help me sneak out.”
“It’s not that easy, Alice, the security has been tightened. Why can’t you just go with Bobby and a few guards? For your safety.”
“Nothing’s going to happen to me, don’t worry. It is good that Mark has arrived. I had to break up with him anyway. I could not do that on the phone. It would have been too selfish.”
Emma’s face broke into a smile.
“Oh! You are going to dump him! I mean, sorry, that’s sad.” She tried keeping a straight face but failed miserably at it.
I suppressed my smile. Emma had been asking me to do that right from the first day.
“Yeah, it sucks, he is an extremely sweet guy, he deserves better. After what happened between Lucian and me. It was technically cheating. I cannot be with him; it would be unfair. I should not have got involved with him in the first place” I said sadly.
“So, what happened with Lucian? I can see you are still unmarked.” She said with a sly smile.
“I got my heat, a month early,” I stopped and closed my eyes, the pain of losing him was too much to bear.
“And?”
“He helped me by giving me……you know, release.” I could feel a blush creeping up my neck.
“Oh! This sounds good, but that doesn’t answer my question.”
“We didn’t have sex if that’s what you are curious about,” I said hastily.
“Wow! How did you survive the heat without it?”
She asked with a naughty grin.
“I told you he gave me…. well, orgasms. He has an exceptionally talented tongue.”
I narrated everything which transpired in the cabin, and him finally rejecting the mate bond.
“How could he do that? It’s so unfair,” Emma gasped.
“I don’t blame him, it’s all my fault. If only I had listened to my wolf and you, I would not have been left alone, and jobless.” I added.
“What?” Emma asked surprised.
“I am going to resign, I can’t work with Mark after all this,” I said dejectedly.
“What if he refuses to break up?”
“What? Why would he do that?
“Mark doesn’t know anything about you. What are you going to say? You can’t just leave him heartbroken.”
She was right, I needed an excuse.
“I will tell him the truth, that I cheated on him.”
Emma’s mouth fell open.
“That’s brutal.”
I sighed and covered my face, “I am a terrible person, Emma, I have hurt two of
the best guys I have ever met. Both loved me, yet I hurt them both. I am so stupid.
I don’t know what to do.” I cried.
“Come here?” Emma said, spreading her arms.
I rested my head on her shoulder. I would have preferred a broader, more muscular arms of Lucian, but that was not possible anymore, and I was tired of crying. But that was my fate now.
