Chapter 8

chapter EIGHT - VERA

Minutes later, I hear a knock on the door.

"Sir, It's John"

"Come in" I said trying to seat up

I hear the door open and watched as John walked into the room, picked up my jacket from the other side of the room and stood by the bed

"The car is ready, sir"

I slowly pull myself up from the bed, and place my hand on my head, it really hurts.

The wine must have worked perfectly then.

I try standing up, but slip back into the bed.

"Don't touch me, I am fine!" I say to John who tried catching me and helping me up.

"What's the meeting about today?" I asked my beta

"I have no idea sir, but it is said to be important."

of course he wouldn't know.

I fist my hand and shake my head to clear my eyes, then I get up again, and walk past John and out of the room.

I step out and see the car parked with a few of my guards.

I didn't say a word to them as I step into the car.

"Take me to the mansion first, I need to freshen up"

"Sir"

I hear the driver respond, and I rest my head back and slowly drift back to my sleep.

"We've arrived sir"

The voice of a guard startled me up.

I look at him angrily as I get down from the vehicle.

Walking up to my door, I notice a figure I wish to never see, even in my dreams.

"What is she doing here!? I asked once I felt my beta walk up to me.

" She came looking for you last night sir, but once we said we didn't know your whereabouts, she insisted on waiting"

"Did you let her into my mansion?"

"Not at all sir"

"Good!"

I walked up to the redhead standing beside my door who wore a green long gown and packed up her hair.

She caught my eyes for a minute there.

"Vera, what the hell are you doing at my

house at this time of the morning, don't you have better things to do than to wait for someone who doesn't even want to see you, and for hours at that?"

"Viv, you are here, I wanted to see you. I came by last night but your guards won't even let me in. Where have yo"

"And it's a good thing they didn't. Now get out!" I responded with venom in my mouth.

"Viv, I have waited for you all night, the least you could do is offer me some water to drink"

"Water, is that all you need?"

"Viv, what have I done? I really like you and I try to show you in every single way possible, but all you do is shut me out. I know that I."

"I don't like you Vera, I don't even want to perceive ur perfume or hear your name.

Infact, you are not the type of lady I would even consider fucking, so get out of my house and go home. Tell your father I said 'Hi' while you at it"

I cut her short as I was slowly getting frustrated

Vera is the only daughter to the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack.

She was betrothed to me before I met Isabelle, a marriage of convenience and nothing more.

Blood Moon Pack was the strongest next to Avid Mars pack.

It was the perfect union till I met Isabelle at the club that day.

I won't lie, she does look stunning with such fiery hair, that's one thing that attracts me to her.

Their fiery hair is where they get the name 'Blood Moon' in her pack.

"But Viv I"

" Make sure I don't see you here by the time I am out" I said as I walked in and shut the door.

Proceeding to the stairs, I hear my beta speak.

"But sir, don't you think you were a little harsh on her? Miss Vera had to sleep in her car last night sir. If you ask me, I really think she's into you. And there's nothing she really hopes to again as an Alpha female herself"

"She wants to replace Isabelle, she dared to think that, so she shall face the consequences." I replied and took a step

"Sir, you can't keep living like this. You barely eat and all you do is drink.

You have to move on at some point"

I stopped in my tracks at his words and turned to face him.

" I never understood the importance of her existence in my life John, I messed it up.

I couldn't handle the fact that some other bastard had laid with her even before I got to know of her existence."

I stared at him in the eyes

"She was pregnant John" I said, nearly breaking down in tears.

" I hope she returns sooner than later" I turned to proceed with the stairs and

"But sir you rejected her, she might never be coming back."

"HOW DARE YOU!?" I spat without fully realizing I was holding my beta in the neck with my canines and claws out, one more move and I might just sink them in.

I stared at my beta in the eyes, with mine bloodshot red. I felt my hand wrapping nice and tightly around his neck.

"I apologize, I was only trying to make out some sense."

I felt him losing his breath as he spoke.

"You don't speak to me in such a manner John. You are getting chances you don't deserve."

I said with clenched teeth and my claws slowly sinking in. I could smell the fresh blood in the air and feel the warm liquid slide down my fingers and down to my hands.

" I am sorry" He croaked and gasped. I slowly let go of my hands and tried to calm down.

He might be stupid most times, but he is my beta. My eyes didn't change its color though as I took a step away from him. I watched him struggle for air as he coughed several times while holding his neck.

" Pray you will be so lucky next time as you can't control your thoughts.

Get that treated so it heals faster." I turned and left.
