I had more than enough time to jump out of the way and save myself but it wasn’t important, what was the essence of saving myself when my life was literally over?
I stayed rooted to the spot, waiting for the car to crush my weak legs. My eyes were wide open while Cora was too dull to push me into doing anything. The car came to a halt just a few inches away and I growled, furious that it wasn’t going to smash me. Someone bolted out of the car. “Are you okay? What the hell was that!” I heard a masculine and thick tone and I began sobbing afresh. Men are evil creatures, they don’t deserve to be alive. Men are scum, they deserve nothing but the worst things in life. “Are you okay?” His voice softened and I fell down, reality dawning on me that tomorrow I’ll wake up as Dave’s ex, the lady he cheated on, the one he didn’t care about and the omega of the pack, people would rub it in my face that I was his toy. “Are you okay?” The voice was oddly family and I rushed my head, everything stopping for a moment as I locked gaze with a pair of dark eyes. I was drawn in instantly as the darkness glistened and seemed to be sucking in my soul. I felt warmth for a moment and for a minute, I saw life in another dimension of life. “Are you okay?” I snapped my head and took notice of his whole body and face. He was Dave’s uncle! The stinking rich bastard whom Dave hated a lot. “Scum” I snarled under my breath, knowing they had the same blood and were literally the same people. I forced myself up and hissed, staring at him with fury. “I asked you a question, are you okay?” He grabbed my arm and his firm grip made something awaken inside Cora but it disappeared even before I could fathom what it was. “Why do you care! What!” I thundered fiercely and he was taken aback! I know his type, all they do is pretend to care and make girls fall in love with them then break their hearts in the most brutal way. “Are you okay?” His question became annoying and all my sadness turned into anger, I channeled all my anger at him. If I can’t do anything to Dave, insulting him would be much better, same blood and behavior after all. “Do I look okay? Get your hands off me! Is this how you go around acting nice and helping girls with broken hearts!” I snapped and much to my surprise I heard a chuckle. “No, it’s not everyday a lady tries to kill herself… Most girls use drastic methods to get my attention but none has been desperate enough to use death” He replied and I scoffed, seizing him up and noticing his egoistic aura before any other thing. “You wish” I retorted and was about to walk out when his words stopped me. “Aren’t you Dave’s girlfriend? Why are you outside at this time of the day?” He demanded and I gawked. “And so what if I was his girlfriend? Why do you care! Aren’t you all the same! Bunch of hypocrites and heart wreckers!” I retorted as I broke into tears, my wound opening afresh at the mention of Dave’s name. “Wanna talk about it over alcohol?” He suggested and only the goddess knows what prompted me to nod my head. He stretched his hand but I didn’t take it, he was still the same with Dave and I know he was being nice probably to spite Dave later or use it against him. I got into the back seat of his car and continued sobbing throughout the journey. He kept glancing at me like he had never seen a lady cry before. “What?” I barked, he was staring too much and it made me uncomfortable. “I’ve never seen a grown woman cry this much because of a guy” He replied and I scoffed. “Well you have now! Happy?” I retorted and he shook his head. We got to the most expensive bar in the pack and my mouth dropped. This bar was meant for those who could spend millions without bulging because I heard the cheapest drink was more than half a million. We stepped inside and a waiter jumped to our side immediately and I saw people stare at Dave’s uncle with respect but the shocking thing was that people were staring at me too. Ladies had envious glances and a few were slowly killing me with their eyes, their jealousy was evidence and I wondered if having alcohol was something to be jealous about. I hope they experience the same thing I experienced today. “Wow… Is she his girlfriend…” “He has never brought any lady here before, she must be special…” I could hear whispers and this made me stare at him with shock. He knew I was his nephew’s girlfriend and he was bringing me here for no reason? I began to think things through, wondering what had prompted me into asking and why he asked in the first place. Yes I was sad and devastated but he could’ve offered to drop me home or anything. “Let’s go” He muttered as he strutted inside and I bowed my head, trying to avoid the deadly glares. We got to a private room and while I was still admiring the room, several bottles of wine were brought in which made me gasp. “You needed alcohol, I don’t know the type you take so I got everything I can think of” He muttered making me furrow my brows because I remembered I’ve never taken alcohol before and I went calm instantly, fondling my fingers as I wondered how I’d get myself out of this mess. “What? You don’t like them? What do you want exactly?” He asked and I scratched my neck slightly. “I… I… I don’t drink…” I stuttered. “For a feisty person like you, that’s a shocker. You should have this then, take it slowly, it’s sweet so don’t think it’s juice okay” He warned and I nodded, accepting it shyly. I took a sip and it went straight into my bloodstream, round my body and finally settled in my brain, sending cool energy down my body. It tasted great and it lifted my spirits drastically, I must be missing out a lot. “You do know too much is bad right?” He suggested and I scoffed because the alcohol was touching the right spot. I began to think about Dave and our years together, life didn’t seem so bad anymore and I felt I’d be great to live without him and focus on myself. I’d do everything for myself now and damn all the consequences, I wouldn’t give a fuck about him or anyone anymore, I would be selfish. “You shouldn’t take…” “Just zip it! I know you’re doing this to spite your nephew but I don’t care. Don’t pretend like you care about me when I know you guys are just a bunch of selfish, evil and cheating bastards” I snarled angrily and he chuckled, watching me with an amused smile as I vented out my anger.JustinI woke up with a throbbing headache, I wasn’t a drunkard but it’d be unfair to see a lady downing alcohol while I stayed without joining.Yesterday was fun and I’d like to have more of it but it’d be at the expense of her happiness, it would be terrible for her to be devastated everyday.Jack, my wolf couldn’t describe what prompted us into offering to have a drink with her because I wasn’t the type who’d be bothered with anybody, talk more of a heartbroken lady.I chuckled amidst the pain as I remembered how she had ranted and cursed loudly. She acted so unladylike yesterday but it gave off a sexy feminine vibe.The way her lips parted to curse, the way she squinted her eyes, how she’d throw her head pain and her laughter was pure honey. The way she let go of herself when she began taking the wine, how serious and feisty she looked, her hair was packed in a ponytail initially but letting it fall was like taking off her innocent part and showing off her sultry side.I grabbed
CatherineI woke up twenty minutes before eight and my eyes widened as I checked the time. I rushed into the bathroom, my throbbing head felt like it was about to drop and with all my strength, I managed to ignore half the pain.I took a little coffee and jogged my way towards the road, I got a taxi immediately and mentioned my location. I threw a few dollar bills when I reached the company and ran my way upstairs. I couldn’t use the elevator because of my level and it was a funny day for most people because it wasn’t everyday you see a 235 pound lady who’s 5’3 ft running up the stairs.It was my first day and I didn’t want to be late, with panting, I got to my office five minutes after 8. My head was about to drop, my body was aching badly and I felt nauseous, I wanted to throw up but I managed to keep a straight face as I walked into my new office.I could see envious glances, the energy around told me that I wasn’t welcomed. “I’m sure Dave helped her get it…”“Dave was the one wh
“Dav…” Before she could utter any word, a slap landed on her cheek, making everyone turn silent as gasps rang out.“You cheap slut!” He thundered and beside him was Ava, a broad smile on her face.“So this is what you do? You sleep around with older men right?” Dave thundered and Catherine felt anger rise inside of her.How could he slap me and call me a cheat when he was here with his mistress? “I’ve always warned you about her but you trust her too much. She’s nothing but a cheap bitch” Ava asserted and she stared at both of them with shock.This must obviously be a dream. “Anyway, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been transferred to the manager position in the office, you report to me now” Ava announced and everyone gasped.The whole staff were watching this drama with rapt attention. Over the past years, everyone was envious of Catherine, they all wondered what Dave had seen in her that made him like her and most of her success in the office had been linked to him.They were mor
Catherine I walked towards Ava’s office with a determined look, I would pick up shreds of myself and fight this battle. I entered without knocking and she snarled at me angrily. “Are you mannerless? Don’t you know how to knock!” She barked and I bowed my head. “I’m so sorry…” “Sorry ma’am” She corrected. “I’m so sorry ma’am” I corrected. “Go out, knock and wait for my reply” She ordered and nodded, walking out. I knocked, after three minutes, I got no response and knocked again. “Come in! Are you implying I’m deaf!” She thundered and I opened the door, walking in silently. “I’m so sorry…” “You keep saying the same word and making mistakes. I just went through your file but before I start with all your flaws, get me a cold milkshake…” “The cafe doesn’t sell milkshakes…” “Does that mean the whole pack doesn’t sell too? I want a salted caramel milkshake, you’ve got fifteen minutes” She barked and I nodded, rushing towards the door. “Did I tell you to leave? Is thi
She spent the night crafting a letter of leave for the office. She had two weeks to prepare for college and she wanted to take a six month leave from the office.She knew it wouldn’t sit well with Ava and she thought of every possible question Ava could throw at her and how she’d handle it.She didn’t wait for her alarm to ring before she jumped out of bed the next day. She was excited, nervous and a bit scared.She knew her work load could increase and she’d have to plug in lots of leak ends together before leaving. Arriving at the company twenty minutes earlier, she used the time to arrange her office and practice her speech.She was afraid of Ava. It was terrifying to stand in front of her superior and get insulted in the most awful ways.Ava arrived just when she was having coffee and her eyes almost widened when she saw Dave accompany her to the door.“Take care of yourself honey; I love you” Ava drawled as she kissed Dave sloppily in front of everyone. Core felt disgusted but t
CatherineI stared at the clock eagerly, a minute feeling like a decade. I couldn’t wait to get out of work and race towards Dave’s house to share the good news."Stay calm, we’ll soon head out" Cora, my wolf said to me and I hummed in response.I did it! After years of striving and working in the pack company, I managed to get a promotion. Starting from tomorrow, I wouldn’t be the receptionist whom everyone looks down on but a secretary with my own office on the second floor.Cora was about to burst with joy when I read my promotion letter. My heart was racing with excitement and the minute 6 pm stroke, I jumped to my feet, grabbing my hand back as I made way out of the company.Usually I was always the last but today is different. I need to celebrate with Dave. I know he’d be very proud of me because for more than two years, I worked relentlessly to get a promotion but I kept getting turned down because of my background.I was a pack omega and to make matters worse, an orphan who wa
