Desperate to claim me, but I've moved on

Kyla's POV

It's been a week since I left the house, and it's the hardest week of my life, I can't seem to concentrate on anything, all my thoughts were consumed by Vincent, I still couldn't believe I wasted seven years of my life on that man.

I disrespected my family and suppressed my gift as an omega all for him, and what do I get in return? Betrayal! Lies! I hate him!!

I paused what I was doing and took a deep breath, then I continued, I was packing my stuff from my office desk, which I am handing over to the next person today, I resigned a week ago when I broke up with Vincent, since there is nothing left for me in Virginia what's the point of staying.

Later that evening I stepped out for my farewell dinner party which was planned by my werewolves colleagues, at first I wasn't comfortable being there but with time I began to enjoy myself, I couldn't remember the last time I had fun like this.

I was still chatting with my friends when Alpha Jake the company's biggest womanizer approached me, he just took over from his father who had died a week ago from an unknown illness, I remember he had come to me for help but I wasn't able to.

He looked drunk with a bit of confidence. "You know I have a huge crush on you, as the new Alpha of the Blackwood pack I would like you to be my Luna" he began confessing his undying love for me attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

"I am flattered by your words, but I am not interested" I replied in the most polite way possible but that didn't sit right with him.

"How dare you!" He sneered, "You should be grateful I am showing interest in you, we all know your mate dumped you for a mundane" The whole room gasped, and some began to murmur.

As a werewolf the worst thing that can happen to you apart from being rejected by your mate, is being rejected for a human.

"You are just an ungrateful whore!" He spat

A chill coursed through my veins as Alpha Jake's crude tone assaulted my ears. I opened my mouth, ready to deliver a scathing retort, but before I could utter a word, a dark figure swooped in beside me. In an instant, a fist flew through the air, connecting with a sickening crunch to Jake's face. He crumpled to the floor, defeated.

Vincent towered over him, his eyes blazing with icy fury. "How dare you speak to my woman in that manner" he yelled, his voice venomous.

Pandemonium erupted in the room. My colleagues erupted into cheers and whistles, clearly entertained by the sudden display of violence.

A surge of hope rushed through my body as Vincent held my hand and walked me out of the room. Is he back for me? Did he finally realize his mistake? But my hope was crushed when I saw the expression on his face when we got outside

"What the fuck are you trying to approve" he squeezed my hands tightly in a way that hurts "There is no way you can break up with me Kayla, we are destined to be together!" He said with so much confidence.

"Why are you here Vincent?" I asked calmly, he seemed surprised by my composure, but I wasn't going to let the man know how much his action was affecting me.

He smiled and handed me a fancy card "I'm here to personally invite you to my wedding with Ava. She said you're her only family in Virginia, she needs your blessing"

His audacity struck me like a punch, who the fuck was I dating for seven years?

I maintained my composure. I forced a smile and replied "Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

He seemed satisfied by my answer and gave me a pat on the shoulder "Now that's more like it" he said with a smile on his face "After two years we can have our wedding"

I didn't reply even though I badly wanted to, I just nodded my head and he took that as a sign to leave.

I guess this is where loving a man has gotten me, I sigh and look at the reminder notifications on the screen of my phone.

"Your flight to London is in two hours," it says.
