Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 41
Lilia’s Pov
Blood drained my face and my knuckles became white as my co-workers stared at the man on the floor, what was worse was the fact that he wasn’t moving.
He lay there lifeless and a chunk of dreadful thoughts washed through my head.
‘Is he dead?’
‘Would I be arrested? Gosh! It’s just a punch!’
I muttered under my breath and two men and a lady sprang into action as if they’d been waiting for a moment like this.
“You bitchy wolf! What have you done?” The lady glared at me, the two men carried the man up to move outside and Lee rolled her eyes at me.
“He’s such a softie! We didn’t punch him too hard.”
I agreed with my wolf, nodding in agreement but the lady seemed to be more agitated than ever.
She’s in the marketing department, always with the blue ribbon tied to her head. The look she gives me any time I’m sent there is clear evidence she detests me.
I wasn’t welcomed in this company! No one likes me and I don’t give a damn. If Tessy couldn’t give a fuck about me, how much more these.
“It was self-defense!” I told her and she shrieked, bringing her phone out to dial what looked like an emergency number.
“You will explain that shit to the police when they arrive! Handsome would never hurt a fly!” She yelled and dialed the number, eyes now gathered around me when they were supposed to leave and I bit my lips nervously.
I need to get this thing to Isabella or it would be worse than this.
It’s three days already and Lex is not yet back so I couldn’t risk pissing her off to fire me. As much as Lex holds supreme authority in the company, I don’t trust him to give me any preferential treatment. He believes what people say about me rather than finding out about it himself.
“I’m not lying!” I barked at her, making her flinch.”Why would I do this when I have important things to do.”
“That’s some bullshit thing to say and cover-up. I know the likes of you, I bet you tried to seduce him too and he refused only to use your diabolical powers on him.”
I scoffed at her and growled.
“I bet you’re a Lycan too right? Are you all these nosy, noisy, and judgemental? You’re already creating the worst personalities here for humans, don’t you think you should return to where you can display such toxicity?”
I asked her as her lips trembled in anger, everyone’s eyes were fixed on me but I cared less. They should call the Moon goddess if they like, I’m out of here!
I stomped outside, pushed through the sliding doors and walked towards the direction of where the blue SUV was parked to find Isabella, waiting patiently and tapping her fingers on the car. Her driver was waiting and the other lady I presume to be her maid or errand girl was with her handbag.
Lazy brat.
“I’m sorry, here is it” I presented the files before her and she swatted my hands in force making them scattered to the ground.
“Your time is over! Not only did you waste my time, but you tore the files and rendered one of the workers hospitalized!” She screamed heavily and I gasped in realization when I discovered that the documents in the file were torn.
“I’m so sorry, I got into an argument. This wasn’t intentional.”
“Shut the fuck up! You know what you did and if you dare leave the premises without stating reasons why you tore the company’s revenue records in different fifteen pages, I will personally make sure you get arrested for today’s act and fired from the company!” She fired at me and slammed her door shut!
I watched in disbelief as the car drove off, making me groan in frustration.
My stomach rumbled and I discovered that I had not eaten a single meal since morning. I wanted to curse at her and take my bag home but the reminder of not having any other company overwhelmed me.
I didn’t want Lex to feel that I was not serious after offering me this job. My senses became heightened and Lee growled in displeasure making the hairs on my neck stood stiff.
Someone was watching me or if not, behind me and my heart pounded heavily.
I couldn’t smell anything at the moment except for a cologne I knew that doesn’t belong to Raven.
I released a shaky breath and turned to meet my worst nightmare.
My feet almost staggered from the heels I wore but I tried to be calm as I stared at Felix.
“Hi Lily, glad you’re causing problems in my brother’s company.” He smirked at me and I hated how beautiful he looked in his red shirt and black pants that brought out the perfect display of his body.
I won’t say anything to him, I won’t.
“You messed with me Lily and that’s not nice, You almost let my brother see me as a rapist, you caused him to be a murderer and your cursed self is now working here.” He chuckled darkly and twisted his lips as he stared deep Into my soul.
“You know that’s not true!” My voice cracked, and fear built up in me as I shifted backward away from him.
“And you think that I’m lying? Fuck! Have you forgotten you’re a danger to my brother? You haven’t even stayed yet and he’s killing for you! You’re a curse! And you don’t want to know what my Pack would do to you once they realize that.” Felix barked at me and I nodded in acknowledgment. I know all of that too well to be stupid to feel relaxed.
“I know I’m a curse Felix, don’t remind me. Don’t also push me to do anything until the next five months. You have ruined my life!” I yelled in agony.
“I can’t stay in a place anymore because of what you did so let me live my cursed life till the next five months in peace. Stay away from me please, just go ” I sniffed and wiped my tears with the back of my hands, turning to leave when a heavy wavehand slap landed at the right side of my cheeks.
“You’re fucking leaving!” He growled into my ears as he grabbed my hair.
“I won’t let you infect my brother with that cursed self, not in my lifetime would I want that to happen!”
“You’re hurting me!” I cried in pain.
“I swear by the moon, Lilia, you will regret defiling me. Just sit and watch out!” He said every word with venom and pushed me with force to land on the floor as he walked out.
Fear and uncertainty of what he was going to do overwhelmed me. Lee kept quiet, sadness looked over her in guilt and I shook my head.
“Don’t do that Lee, it’s not your fault ”
‘I am, if only I wasn’t cursed. You would have been free ”
“I said stop it!” I cried and wiped my face.
I was scared, despite the fact I might leave to start over, I didn’t know what the future held for me. My life was deteriorating every moment of my life, my parents would be highly affected once my secret leaked out. I was able to conceal my wolf during the last fight with Gracie but no one knows what I’m capable of doing that I can destroy.
I pushed back all the bitter thoughts aside and walked to the office.
I checked the time and it was already past 9 pm. I’m a fast typist so I should be done writing by 10 pm so I could appease Isabella.
Thirty minutes later, I was proud of myself even though my neck strained in pain and my fingers burned.
I was about to get on the seventh paper when the door was pushed open and I jumped on my seat.
“Raven!” I cried in relief and bit my lips but unease settled at the out of my stomach when I discovered that he looked pissed, like a carved piece of fantasy stone.
His ginger hair was packed and his throat could be seen bobbing up and down.
He didn’t say a word but came inside, his eyes were fixed on me like a moth and it darkened with a faint glow of crimson. He was beginning to get sacred and I didn’t like it.
“I’m sorry I wasted time, I got into trouble,” I mumbled, twisting my hands nervously at his sight and his jaw twitched when his eyes strayed to the papers on the table.
“I’m almost done Raven, can you please stop it with the attitude, it’s scary.”
I told him, seething through my teeth but his expression didn’t waver. In Fact, he looked more pissed than ever.
“Who did this to you?” He asked me, his eyes not leaving my cheeks and I groaned within.
He came so close to have a closer view and his eyes blazed.
“It’s m-”
“Don’t lie to me, Luna! Someone touched you! And what’s this? Fuck! Are you a slave? What’s this paper? Why haven’t you eaten since morning too, don’t lie to me ’cause I can hear the rumble!” He growled at me and if I hadn’t met Lex before, I would say this one was worse, more possessive than ever.
“Now tell me, Luna, have you been lying to me for the last few days? I need answers to everything right now or I’ll summon the whole workers of Lex Enterprise right now for an explanation, trust me when I say a few bones would be broken!” He said every word darkly without giving me time to breathe.
