His Fifth Mate 28
Chapter 28Alpha Miguel POV "Shit!" I curse under my breath as I slump on the chair, adjusting my tie that suddenly feels like it's choking life out of me. I'm frustrated, and I hate that I'm venting it out all on her, but I don't even know what to say."You are just a weak Alpha that doesn't even deserve to be a leader," I mumble under my breath as I rake my hair with my fingers. It feels like I'm drowning in fear and heartbreak, and I don't even know what to do."Why am I doing all this? Why have I been treating her like this?" I have been asking myself and I just asked myself again, but there seems to be no answer to the question I seek answer so badly.'You need to bring her now to clear the rumors, Alpha' as much as I want to do what Roan told me, I feel like it'll be unfair on her end. It's just like using her, and that is the last thing I want to do to the mate that was cursed to be with me. Yes, any woman that is destined to be with me should be cursed. I am a curse that shou

Chapter 29Alpha Miguel POV "I'm sorry, Sir," I raise my gaze to see that it's the same dude that was hanging out with Clarissa at the canteen the other day. Memories of that day flood my mind, the thought of him smiling at her that day makes me so pissed that I feel like roasting him alive here, but I try to control myself. How dare he flirt with our mate? Does he want to die?"Hmm," I nod my head and turn to enter the office, but I stop on my track when I spot something familiar at the back of his neck as he walks away. It's a tattoo I've seen somewhere before, but the memories of it are vague. My wolf whimper inside me at the thought of the tattoo, and I know that this is not just a coincidence. There has to be something about that dude."Sir, are you here for the files?" The HR's voice pulls my attention, and I turn my gaze to look at her standing in front of me. I quickly turn my gaze to check out the person, but he already left."Who was that?" I ask her after I glance in the d

Chapter 30Clarissa POVMy day at the office was almost boring since I had no one to talk to. Miguel has been acting weird since he returned from the marketing department since morning, and I don't even know what is wrong with him."Are you ok?" I had asked him when he came inside the office, sweating profusely, but he told me he was fine, and I thought I should let it go because I didn't want to look like I'm forcing things out of him.My phone suddenly starts ringing, and I check the screen to see that it's from Charity."Hey, what's up?" I utter as soon as I answer the call, but the voice I hear from the other end makes me freeze on the spot."Clarissa... I'm dying... Please come home," My heart sinks into my stomach, and my hand suddenly starts trembling as I hold the phone to my ear, waves of fear spark through me."What happened, Charity? Are you ok? Talk to me, where are you?" I spring up to my feet as I rush her with questions, but silence reigns on the other end, which means

Chapter 31Clarissa POV "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the office, Clarissa? I was worried about you," Miguel asks as he holds my hands, but I just sigh briefly. It was almost 8pm, and he dropped by my place on his way back home from the office."I'm sorry. There was an emergency," I reply to him, and he sighs briefly."Don't leave like that without telling me, ok? You know it's dangerous out here, and you shouldn't be roaming around all alone without anyone by your side," He utters, and I slowly nod my head."Are you ok? You didn't seem ok back at the office today. Is everything alright?" I ask him, and he stares at me for seconds before he shakes his head, but it's obviously written all over him that everything is not fine. Something is bothering him, but sadly, he doesn't trust me enough to tell me what is wrong with him."Hmm. I need to go back now. You should sleep early, and rest as much as you can. I will pick you up on my way to the office tomorrow. Good night, and

Chapter 32Clarissa POVMy day was spent horribly since I couldn't even concentrate at work. I got a call from Miguel when I got to work this morning, and he told me he had something to take care of, so he wouldn't be present in the office, which made my day more boring.After spending the whole day behind my desk, it was finally closing time, and just before I walk out of my office to head home, my phone suddenly starts ringing, and I stop to answer the call."Hey, it's me, Alex," his familiar voice sounds from the other end, and realization dawn on me that I haven't really thanked him for the favor he did for me yesterday. My mind has been so occupied with so many thoughts that I couldn't even think of anything else."Hey," I reply to him as I walk briskly toward the elevator."So, what do you say about the ice cream date tonight? You can't say no," His voice sounds from the other end, and I sigh briefly. I don't know why he is insisting that we go on this date, but I just hope he's

Chapter 33Clarissa POV Next dayWaking up this morning with my body aching as if I was ganged beaten in my sleep, I groan tiredly as I toss on the bed. I try to stand up from the bed, but I feel my body paralyzed for seconds, so I just lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling.Memories of yesterday night came flooding my mind, and I feel my heart wrenches as fear grips me. I don't know what has been wrong with me for the last few days, but I don't think it was all just my illusion. I really saw that.The sound of the footsteps drawing closer from outside pulls my attention, and the door finally opens, revealing the drained Charity."Are you ok?" I ask her as I watch her slump on the chair, but she only sighs deeply as she reclines on the chair."I'm not fine, Clarissa. I'm missing him," She whines before she buries her face between her palms, and I roll my eyes at her. How come she's still missing him even after what he did to her? She must be stupid."You should call him then," I sm

Chapter 34Clarissa POV "Ugh! I told you I wasn't coming out here," I whine tiredly as I drag my feet behind Charity. We have been going around all day, from restaurant to amusement park, to ice cream joint, and we are heading to the motor park to do nothing. I should've just gone to the office earlier, and not bothered to take the day off."Come on, we've been having fun, isn't it?" She turns to roll her eyes at me before she turns her gaze away and stretches her hands, throwing her head back."Fuck Mason... That dude is a bastard, and I won't think of him again," She screams out, probably to feel better, but deep inside me, I know she will still talk about missing him later, so what is the point of believing her?"What should I do, Clarissa?" She suddenly stops and turns to face me, her eyes glistening with tears, and I roll my eyes. I knew it."I thought you were not going to think about him again? How come you are crying now?" I scoff before I walk past her."It's not my fault, C

Chapter 35Charity POV The meeting with the editor went well, and my book will be published along with my other works, and I'm so happy. After being rejected by many platforms, I'm finally going to be a certified published author.'Congratulations, Miss Cha Cha, you are welcome to publish more of your work with us, and we are looking forward to partnering with you' I giggle excitedly as I walk toward the exit door. I have never been so excited all my life. It was the first step of my writing career, so why not? "Whoa! What a great thing to start the week with," I chuckle softly as I cup my cheeks in my palms, blushing hard. The thought of being a published author really hits differently, and I can't wait to write more books I've gotten ideas for. Stepping out of the exit door, I collided with someone, and I fall flat on my butt, letting out a loud whimper. Yes, I am known for exaggerating, but trust me, I feel pain in my butt."Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. Are you ok?" A deep masculine voi
