Chase’s POV
I watched as Mika’s smile quickly vanished and was replaces with a look of worry.
“Wha…what are you saying Chase?” She had reverter back to my name. She always does this whenever she wanted to talk about old times.
“You heard me Mika!”I barked. She flinched at my voice and I began to feel bad bit regardless she was the reason Arya is going nuts now. She swallowed.
“Tell me!”
“I have no idea what he was talking about” she looked away. ” I have always known that Angus doesn’t like me but I didn’t know that he would take this a notch higher to start telling lies about me.”
I tilted my head to a side. ” Oh you knew Angus was staring at you” I said.
“Yes, I saw the way he kept looking my way during the meeting” she grumbled.
“Then you must have skeletons in your cupboard”
She shook her head vehemently. ” I know nothing Chase”
She moved from where she stood to somewhere else. ” I don’t get why Angus would say something and you would easily believe it”
My eyes widened. “Are you putting this on me? Like am I the one at fault”
“Yes! Yes you are at fault.” Her expression hardened. ” For years we have been friends bit the moment you became alpha and made Angus your beta, I seemed not to exist”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I ran my hand over my hair. Mika all through, my life as an alpha had never spoken to me in this manner. In fact these things she was saying we’re what the maids and guards gossiped about. She had told me not to overthink it, as it was just Mere words from maids. But here she was repeating this same words from the maids
“What? ” She snapped” Are you surprised hearing this from me? Do you think all they said was a lie? Listen there’s no smoke without a fire!”
I slammed my fist against the table. ” Enough!”
Mika flinched. All the empathy I might have had the first time vanished into thin air. “I don’t care about what you feel now! All I want is answers. It’s either a yes or no” I barked. ” Did you tell Arya about my trip to the Drix Pack?”
She swallowed. ” Yes”
“Did you tell her that I went there to get a new mate and probably have one there?”
“I-”
“Shut the fuck up and answer the question with a yes or no” I growled.
She immediately nodded. ” Yes” she licked her lips and looked at me, with those big brown eyes thar elicited mercy. Nah not this time. This won’t work on me.
I glared at her. Anger surged through me. Then pain. It hurt. Dam. It hurt so much. I wish my heart was still cold. I wish I didn’t care like before.
I wanted nothing but to rip her apart or better still cut her limb by limb. But then I couldn’t. I was bound with this new me. The old me would not have had a second thought to kill her.
I wanted to ask why. Why would Mika do this to me? Does she not care? For 20 straight years after my parents died, I was having night mares back to back. I was scared and tired and I just didn’t want to fall asleep. When the elders and my uncle asked around, we got a solution from the high witch. It was a curse for something I had done after my parents death.
But then, my uncle didn’t give up. He began to press the high witch until she gave an instruction. It was hard. Having a sired omega love you to be break the curse. I was close to Arya now everything is ruined. All because of Mika.
My first love.
Images of our lives together filled my head. Of which one was my favorite.

As we walked, we started off. Discussing mundane stuff. Just as we were about to head back home, I Stopped abruptly.
“Wait Mika you have something on your face” I said. .
“my face? Where?” she asked as she began checking.
I backed her up against a tree. I started into her eyes as my gaze, flickered from her yes but stayed more at her lips.
Suddenly her shyness came out again. She couldn’t keep looking at me because it made her feel so self conscious.
As she ried to look at me, She just couldn’t.
“Are you shy?” I asked in a low voice. The one she said was slowly growing on her.
“Isn’t it obvious ? She asked as she peeked her lashes up at me.
“Fuck, you are so beautiful” I muttered under my breath. Then her cheeks turned red, and she was able to look away, she didn’t know when I took
her in my mouth. It was a deep kiss and she gasped at the depth.
“you taste better than I assumed” I said in between kisses.
“Please stop” she moaned but as you know, usually talks like that were always ignored. Iwould go on to plant deep kisses on her neck and it surely did send me out of the moon. Suddenly I stopped.
“Please Mika I’m very sorry” I said. She accepted my apology with a big smile on her face.
And that has been our routine most evenings. Atimes I would grab her butt roughly and it would make me, hot and wet all over again. That was what I thought of before I could sleep during those nightmares.
********************************************************
I stared at her and my heart broke. I could never hurt her but she has hurt me.
I ground my teeth.
” You will cease to be a member of the round table. I do not know you” I groveled. “Get out of my sight. Out of this house.
Out of my pack. I never want to see you again ” I said and then walked away.
