doing with the stolen money this whole time. The clothes she was dressed in weren’t the best brand either, and the amount of millions they stole from us is an amount that wouldn’t certainly finish in twenty years even if you spend it lavishly.
I still couldn’t believe that she took what wasn’t hers and fled with her mother. Back then, even though I teased the hell out of her, I believed that she was actually pure hearted and innocent. Her being a virgin further solidified that belief within me. But alas, it turns out all of that was a lie. Her wearing those tiny shorts, acting shy and innocent, was all a ploy, to lure me and goad me until I couldn’t resist her anymore. She definitely decided to give me her virginity to further make me not suspect her motives at all. It angered me so much that I didn’t see through all of that. Our last conversation whereby I believed that I had broken her heart, that was also clearly a ploy. She didn’t fall for me like she implied, it was all a lie.
And I hated her so much for that, because back then, if my father hadn’t been forcing me to take Erica as my mate, I was almost tempted to consider Ciara as something more, as a mate of mine. She was smart, she talks back, she was gorgeous, and basically I couldn’t even ask for anything more. It was why I hated her so much after she fled with her mother, because I felt like the biggest fool ever, and because she began to haunt my dreams right after. The images of her bent over that bathroom counter in the club refused to leave my brain for years.
Years.
While she probably didn’t think of me one bit after they fled. After all, she presently had a boyfriend.
Perhaps this made me a cruel person, but I feel glad that the night we shared led to her getting pregnant. At least this was a given sign that she also suffered for that night in another way, while I suffered emotionally and mentally.
I used to think of how I’d handle her after finally finding her, of how I’ll punish her and make her suffer. Each night while her memories haunted me, I’d swear to make her pay for making me into this mess on getting my sight on her. It was why I stayed off that large house we lived in years ago at the outskirts of the pack, because of all the memories of her it held. All my plans for a very satisfying revenge which I planned for years have clearly been put to a halt now that she has a child, a child which belongs to me.
I walked off the garden, heading into the building again and straight to the gym. This wasn’t the pack house but I tend to spend more time here because I was always working and this is where I work from. I take care of pack related stuff from here, and I also take care of my investments related business stuff from here as well. That’s why I made sure it was very comfortable for me, it’s very big with about ten rooms, a big kitchen with staff, a well equipped gym, a pool because swimming helps me unwind and finally, the garden.
I headed straight for the gym, but I stopped on noticing Fred, my second beta approaching me.
I had three betas. One took care of my appointments, one gave me great advice, and the last one did more personal things for me. My first and second betas are here with me, but the third one was back at the pack house, keeping things in order there while I’m away.
“Alpha, if you’re free, would you like to review some approved documents before I send them out?” He asked and I shook my head. I’ve assured him countless times that I didn’t need to go over what he already wrapped up, because he was very efficient and trustworthy.
“Just send them out,” I told him and he nodded and bowed just as I walked past him, stepping into the large gym. The feeling of irritation was still crawling up the insides of my chest, and working out is sure to cool that off. Working out always helped me loads.
As soon as I began to run on the treadmill, I should have predicted that my wolf would start.
“You’re not seriously gonna sever that bond with our woman, are you?” He growled, sounding annoyed.
I let out a scoff of irritation. My wolf is really delusion and stupid.
“She’s not our woman, moron. Are you forgetting that she’s a literal backstabber? Wake up from your delusions.” I told him as I increased the pace of the treadmill.
“I told you that there might have been a mixup that night when they disappeared and I haven’t changed my mind. She didn’t smell like someone with malicious thoughts today. She is still pure hearted.” Xan insisted and

I rolled my eyes.
Xan is a delusional final boss.
“You’re just confused because of that bond still tying us to her. I’ll get rid of that bond tonight then you’ll finally be free to think clearly again. You’ll see by then that I was right this whole time, I informed him but he shook his head firmly.
“Don’t do it, don’t sever the bond,”
“I’ll do just that. Then we’ll mate with Erica.”
Xan gagged and I rolled my eyes.
“She’s not that bad, stop being dramatic.
“She is actually the worst but of course you’re too dumb to see that.”
After that, I got too irritated to keep conversing with him and I shut him off my mind, focusing on running the treadmill until my muscles grew taut underneath my skin. I finally slowed the pace of the treadmill as my mind traveled to Ciara again and I briefly wondered if she was presently updating her stupid boyfriend about this whole thing. Does the boyfriend know that her son is a werewolf? I’ll have to warn her against telling that bastard anything about werewolves. I didn’t even know who the boyfriend was, but I’m certain he’s a thief and a backstabber like her, and I still have this weird urge to kill him.
But I won’t, because it wasn’t like I was jealous or anything. You have to care enough to get jealous and I’m certain that I don’t. I was only cornered about my son now. Since he’s technically my heir now, does this mean I’ll end up taking custody of him? Cause no way would I let ciara ever leave with him.
At that very moment, the doors to the gym burst open to reveal Ethan and Fred, my first and second beta. “Your majesty, Miss Erica has forcefully let herself into the ivory room despite your orders!”
