"I want a divorce." I said my voice cold and unwelcoming
He looked at me as if I was crazy. For a second I almost took it back. Because the look in his eyes made me doubt my own sanity.
"I said I want a divorce." I repeated in case he had not heard me.
He scoffed looking at me like I was deluded.
"You said I'm your wife right? That means that we got married sometime yesterday. My memory is still blurry but you look like a man that has no time to joke so in case I did then could you divorce me. I was clearly not in my right mind." I said clearly and assertively to ensure that he knew that I was not joking.
"I guess you hit your head too hard. Let me go get some ice so that it does not bruise ." He said looking at me pitifully.
Was he crazy? Did he think I was joking? Did he have such time for such elaborate pranks? What the hell was wrong with this man? These questions flooded my mind. One after the other.
He opened the door and got out of the car. I wanted to get out too but he locked me in the car. That's when it hit me. He was crazy. I had always heard rumors about the Alpha of the Remun pack. I had heard that he was crazy. How he did not believe in fated mates, how he terrorized humans just because he found it fun and how there was a slight possibility that he was gay. All these thoughts brought me to the conclusion that I already feared. He was totally insane.
In that moment I felt in danger more than any other time in my life. I started banging on the window like crazy hoping that someone would come and save me. By passers started paying attention when I started screaming, they even came closer to check what was wrong.
"He is kidnapping me. Please someone save me. I beg you please someone save me." I started shouting.
He ran to the car and got the attention of the crowd with just one simple growl. One of the passers by who had seen him and was about to attack him immediately retreated in fear. Something about his growl was different. It is not everyday that an Alpha growls in the middle of the city but when he did it was for a good reason.
Alpha's growls were different from Norma wolf growls. Theirs carried with them power that did not come to just anyway.
Everyone who had come close retreated immediately.
"She is my wife." He said and as usual his voice was cold.
They all immediately apologized for meddling and left. As they left me in that car, my hope melted away with them. I watched as my last chance at saving myself from that maniac disappeared. Once more the emotional side of Mr got the better of me. My eyes glistened with tears.
He came around and got In the car. I immediately looked down burying my head in my knees.
"What the hell was that?! Are you actually going crazy?! Do I repulse you that much that you felt the need to make such a scene?!" He asked sounding angry.
I did not answer. My head was still buried on my lap as hot tears sipped through my skirt and warmed my thighs. I did not want to leave behind everyone I loved and go away with someone I barely knew just because of a single drunken mistake. I wanted to stay by Quinnell and Scout's side.
"It was a mistake." I managed to whisper in between sobs.
He was quiet. He did not respond. I raised my head to find him staring into the road ahead. His eyes had darkened.
"I do not want to leave with you. I may have signed something just because I was drunk but I do not know you. Every single thing that happened that night was a mistake." I said looking back down.
He did not respond. Silence ensued for about five minutes. We were parked not moving a single inch.
"Do you regret it?" He asked
"What? What do you mean?"
"Do you regret what happened yesterday night? It may have been a mistake but fo you regret it?"
"Yes. Yes I do. I wish that it had never happened."
"Do you wish that I had never come to see you?"
"Yes I do." I said feeling a little bit guilty.
"Alright. Thank you for your honesty Ms Arielle." He said, he seemed distant.
When he called me by my name, I felt a pang of heart as if a piece of my heart had just been torn from it.
He did not say anything more.
He drove me back to my office and unlocked the door for me. When I got out, he locked the door and drove away. I waved goodbye but he did not even bother to look behind.
I had been returned to the place that a few minutes ago I was crying when I thought that I was about to be taken from but why did it feel so distant?
I did not return to work. Instead I went home. I was not ready for those voices to judge me when I had just had such a long day.
I reached home, fumbling for my keys once more. I was so used to using my keys that it had become an habit that even when I lost them I still looked for them.
I hit my forehead because of my silly forgetful memory. It hurt. I had forgotten I had bruised it earlier. I input my passcode and walked in. It felt like home. I lay on my bed and before I knew it I was in dream land.
Once more memories of the past haunted me. I was in a burning building. Fire and smoke engulfed me. My mother was across from me. On top of her was one of the pillars. She reached her hand to reach mine. Another fell between us.
