Alisha’s POV
This morning, I received a piece of good news from Nova, “Alisha, I have sent your demo to a familiar music director, and he is interested in your work and invited us to talk the details today!”“That’s terrific! Nova, thank you so much!” I hugged Nova in glee. I never expected that my work could be recognized by other so quickly.“I did nothing. It’s your music that moves him! When he knew the composition comes from Theresa, he agreed to see us immediately. Alisha, you should thank yourself!”I was afraid of reveal personal information, especially as a werewolf, so when I published my song or sold the copy right to others, I always used the name “Theresa”. By the way, I had several millions fans on twitter, and I thought this was one of the reason that the director would like to give me a chance.We got to the director’s company and chatted with him. He had bought the copyright of my song and said that he would recommend me to sign me as a singer in his company. If everything went well, I would be able to become a singer and sing my song personally!I was very happy to get this news. After getting out of his office, I hugged Nova warmly and thanked her for waiting for me.“Nova, you can’t believe what he told me just now! He advised me to be a singer! And he will recommend me to his company!”“That’s awesome! I know you can do it! You’re a born star!”“Well, unlucky in love, lucky at career!”“When it comes to this, will you regret to lose such a perfect man as your husband?”I didn’t want to talk about that shit man now, so I replied coldly, “for me, he is less useful than a female vibrator.”Suddenly, I felt dangerously as if some fierce beast was gazing me. I looked around and find nothing. I frowned and then said to Nova, “Sweetie, could you please give me a chance to invite you for lunch in return for your help?” “I think I couldn’t refuse this wonderful plan, but you need to wait for a while, I have to go to the bathroom.” Nova replied with a smile and then left.I walked to the rest area and sat on the sofa. Suddenly, I felt a man standing before me. I raised my head and found it was Archie.Why did he appear here? I didn’t want to talk with him now, so I looked away awkwardly and pretended that I didn’t see him.But he asked me angrily though gritted teeth, “What’s the fucking are you talking about just now?”I didn’t realize what he was saying until I saw his sullen face.Oh, female vibrator! He had heard that!“Do you need me to explain it clearly for you now? Fine, your performance on the bed is too suck! I prefer to use the masturba…”Before I finished my words, Archie grabbed my arm and pulled me from the sofa, “Your mother fucking bull shit!”“Loosen your hand! Or I will call the security to throw you out! This is the human world instead of your pack!”“Well, you can have a try, I’d like to see who dare come here!”“Archie! What the hell do you want to do? I am not your wife anymore! Let go of me!”“Don’t give me your shoot! Tell me, what do you want to get this time? Does your uncle teach you this method? I hate your greedy appetite! Go back home with me right now before I get angry.”I made strenuous efforts to forebear my tears. In his eyes, I was just a greedy gold digger.I indeed usually asked for gifts from Archie, the Valentine's Day, my birthday, the Christmas… because I hope he could spend these holidays with me. He was very busy on the werewolf pack as well as the human world. I had to use this way to remind him that I was waiting for him at home.I loved the valuable gifts, but what I really cared about was him, my husband.He always looked down on my pack and me. Without the order from his grandma, it was impossible for me, a disable werewolf from a small and weak pack. My marriage to Archie was a mistake from the beginning. We were two completely different people who were brought together by the circumstances of life. Our relationship was nothing but a torture for both of us. I tried to make it work, but it was evident I ended in failure. I was tired of living in a state of constant frustration, anger, and sadness. I knew that the only way out of this misery was through a divorce. I gathered all my courage and confronted Archie. "Mr. Redner, you're overthoughtful. I am sorry to waste you two years. Now I’d like to give you freedom. I am not threatening you. I promise, as long as you have prepared the divorce ritual, I will attend it immediately! You needn’t do anything for Black Furies. Our marriage is a mistake, and I just want to correct it in time, for I don't want to see you anymore either." With those words, I felt a heavy weight lifting off my chest. I was free.But as I turned to leave, Archie's expression caught me off guard. He seemed surprised, almost as if he didn't expect me to be so sure of my decision. I took that as my cue to leave and turned to run, tears streaming down my face. My vision blurred, and I didn't see the stranger who I was about to collide with."Ouch!" I cried as I hit a solid chest, and I braced myself for impact. But to my surprise, strong arms wrapped around me, catching me before I fell. I looked up to see a pair of deep blue eyes staring back at me. It was as if I had run into a hero who had come to rescue me."Are you okay?" he asked, concern etched on his face.When he saw the tears on my face, he took a tissue to me with concern.There was something about him that made me feel safe and secure, something that I had never felt with Archie.Alisha’s POVI felt embarrassed, apologizing to him immediately, and then I ran away as quickly as I could before he opened his mouth. This might be impolite, butI don’t want others see me in a sorry state.I rushed into the restroom to wash my face and Nova just came out."What's up, Alisha?" Nova stepped closely, helping me clean my face."Don't worry. I met Archie just now and I ... I am getting a little worked up with that bastard." I answered after a sigh."Fuck, why does he come here? Isn't he supposed to accompany bitch Erma to comfort her now?" "What happened?" I caught a hidden meaning in her words and asked immediately."Oh, Erma becoming a hot search topic on Twitter, but…" Nova paused here on purpose, raising her eyebrow with a smirk, "I think you should watch it by yourself."I hurried to take out my phone and checked on Twitter.Erma had accepted an invitation to a benefit dinner for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), but she finally broke the promise to attend with a
Alisha’s POV When I was hesitated whether I should ask help for Archie, Joey questioned closely, “Alisha, will Archie and his mother will come together, right?” No, he wouldn’t come. He even didn’t appear in our wedding anniversary, so how could he come here to celebrate your birthday? What’s more, I never informed Archie this thing, and I bet he wouldn’t remember your birthday. How should I answer Joey’s question? I wanted to cheat Joey that Archie was too busy to attend his birthday party, but I was afraid that Joey might call Archie personally to invite him. Then Joey must know I wanted to leave Archie. Evita added, “Dad, maybe Alisha ignored your words totally. Or, Archie is unsatisfied with Alisha, so he vents his anger on our pack. After all, since she married Archie, Archie never came to our pack. Dad, I warned you, it wasn’t a good idea to allow Alisha to be Archie’s wife!” Joey squinted after hearing Evita’s words, and then he became impatient with my silence, snapping,
Archie's POV After hanging up the phone with Alisha, I couldn't help but complain, "She's really audacious. She clearly needed a favor from me, but her attitude was so terrible. I wonder if she had a bad experience somewhere else and is taking it out on me. She only dares to vent her anger on me!" “Boy, cool down. I know you're unhappy and hurting, but you should reflect on yourself.” My wolf started to blabber on my mind. “Come on! What do I need to reflect? I have already seen through her. She needs an excuse to come back.” “What? Your wife has left home and wanted to divorce you, don’t you forget that?” “No! It’s just her tricks to get my attention. I know I was too busy these days, which might get her unhappy.” “Buddy, I think you are too optimistic. According to her attitude this morning, you are supposed to say more sweet words to get her back as soon as possible. Or I am afraid that you will be dumped poorly.” “Nonsense! She loves me very much! How can she leave me? I bet
Alisha’s POV After reading these two messages, I was immediately disgusted and started to retch. While I had already come to terms with the failure of my marriage, I couldn't tolerate Erma's provocation. I sat on a bench with a stern face, staring at these two messages for a full 10 minutes. I gripped my phone so tightly it seemed like I might crush it. Then, I narrowed my eyes and thought about the song I had just sold. Since Erma had snatched my song, I, as the creator of the song, could teach her a lesson when the time came. After all, Erma had always portrayed herself as a singer-songwriter. Hmph, she was nothing more than a thief. No matter how reluctant I was to see Archie, I must go to the Black Furies with him together. Or Joey must doubt my relationship with Archie. Just hold on a little longer, endure a bit more. I need to keep Joey calm, don't let him suspect me. Once I have saved up enough money, I would immediately find an opportunity to get my grandma out of the Blac
Alisha’s POVI had to maintain the facade of a perfect wife in front of Joey, so I forced myself to respond to Archie's question with a smile, "I'm sorry, honey. I was asked to help with the cooking." I said this deliberately, knowing that Archie would be upset if he found out his wife was being mistreated by others. While he might not care about me personally, as the ruler of the Golden Crest pack, he wouldn't tolerate anyone challenging his authority.Indeed, Archie glared at Joey and Aunt Patria after hearing my words. He snapped, "Why do you need my wife, the Luna of the Golden Crest, to serve you?""No, Archie, I... I just thought that Alisha is good at cooking, so..." Patria tried to explain, her face turning pale under Archie's intense gaze.I was pleased to witness this scene, but Joey hurried to come to my aid, saying, "Alisha, we treat you very well, don't we?"Suppressing my laughter, I replied, "Archie, I was more than willing to help. You've always enjoyed the dishes I ma
Alisha's POVAfter I got into the car, I expressed my gratitude to Brad, saying, "Thank you for your help just now.""It's no problem. I was simply following the Alpha's orders. He had some urgent matters to attend to, so he asked me to take care of you," Brad replied.I smirked and asked with curiosity, "Really? So, what was it that he needed to deal with?"Brad glanced at my expression through the rearview mirror and hesitated before speaking, "Um...actually, I...I guess it is a business meeting."I caught his gaze in the mirror, but Brad quickly averted his eyes and focused on the road ahead. It was evident that he was helping Archie conceal some embarrassing secret from me, which made him feel guilty.There was no point in pressuring Brad further. After all, he wasn't my husband. With that in mind, I turned my head away and stared out of the window. However, it soon dawned on me that we weren't heading towards Nova's house but..."Wait, Brad! Where are you taking me?" I asked imme
Alisha's POV"Miss, can I assist you?" he stepped out of the car, extending a black umbrella over my head. I flinched slightly as he approached, my uneasiness apparent. Sensing my discomfort, he promptly halted."Don't worry. I too am a werewolf from the Deep Moon pack. I can sense our shared nature. I won't hurt you. Please trust me." He locked his genuine blue eyes with mine.As I beheld those eyes, familiarity struck me—I had encountered him before! After a heated argument with Archie, I had fled and inadvertently collided with this man. To my surprise, he held no grudges and even offered me a tissue to wipe away my tears!A sigh of relief escaped me as I recollected the encounter. At least he wasn't a malevolent individual.As my tension eased, I couldn't suppress a sneeze.It was an embarrassingly awkward moment. Lowering his head, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"Before I could respond, another sneeze erupted, intensifying my embarrassment.He furrowed his brow and gall
Alisha's POVJust after I angrily ending the call, Nova rushed downstairs upon hearing my voice, immediately noticing my drenched state and the borrowed coat."What happened, Alisha? You're completely soaked!" Nova exclaimed with concern."Long story, Nova. Damn Archie drove me out of his car, and the weather was against me today. But I met someone who helped me, and he lent me his coat," I explained.Nova raised an eyebrow, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, really? I wanted to curse Archie, but please let me know who might this someone be?"I blushed, realizing how it sounded. "No, it's not what you're thinking! He's a werewolf too, from the Deep Moon pack. I hit him accidently before, and he recognized me today."Nova's eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, you mean that guy you met when you ran away from Archie? The one who gave you a tissue?"I nodded, a smile playing at my lips. "Yes, that's him. His name is Louie. He is genuinely kind and offered me shelter from the
