The Alpha After Divorce

Samantha’s POV

The night was peaceful and filled with silence. The chauffeur dropped me off at a hotel that I could only afford with my own money. I sighed as I entered the hotel, which was dim, too small, and not as cozy as my previous home. Perhaps it is time for me to realize that I am destined to be this way.

I place my clothing on the dresser when the curtain sways in the chilly air, and I smell the familiar scent of a wolf. I retreated, and, to my amazement, Ivan Boozer appeared again in front of me.

"Oh f*ck!" I was startled and asked him, "Do you have a habit of startling me?" I yelled at him, and he responded with a chuckle while raising his hand in the dark room.

"Easy, girl!"

I then turned on the light and confronted him.

"What do you want?!"

"Here is the contract; please sign it—"

"Sign what?!"

He handed me the contract and instructed me to take a seat and read it.

"What proposal did my father make? How did you find me?”

He folded his arms and proceeded, "Your father has asked you to become the CEO of Patterson’s Feral Group, the pack's business. If you accept the offer, it's acceptable if you don't return the pack, but if you reject it, your father will attack the Madcrest Pack because of your poor decision."

I think of Lucas, who was my first love and the only person I have loved for the past three years. If my father decides to fight the pack, I cannot stand by and watch him suffer, especially because Lucas's father has previously defended me from Dark Rogue attacks. I cannot do that to them because I owe them big time, which is my life.

“I…I don’t understand,” I said while shaking my head, “How could my father trust me to run a business of the pack? What could be his possible reason?”

“Well, I don’t know either, maybe he has his own reasons.” Ivan said and sat in front of me, he folded his hand together and asked, “So? Are you gonna sign it or not?”

I shake my head, “Fine, I’m going to accept this since you don’t give me an option, either to accept it or my father will attack and break my former pack and I don’t want that to happen.”

I quickly grab the black card from his palm and sign the contract, transitioning from the poor girl to a rich girl. I will use my authority to protect myself so that I am never mistreated again.

I returned to the Pack House since I left my purse there while my mind was preoccupied with so many things. When I arrived, the surrounding was eerily quiet, and not a single member of the pack greeted me. Like I care!

After the divorce document was filed this afternoon, I felt so saddled that even my heart and mind were despairing. I sighed upon seeing Lucas's mother, Emelia Frederson. She blocked me as I was ready to leave the manor house. Then, her expression changed to that of a mother-in-law who had always loathed me for marrying her son. The gap between us was one meter, and she approached me while I wiped away my tears and studied her face.

"I'd rather not see your face in this Pack House. Because you are such a loser, losers like you deserve nothing!"

"I, too, do not wish to see your face!" She was startled because she had never heard me say something like that to her before; I've always been a good daughter-in-law and a martyr-type wife, but now that I'm finally separated from his son, I can do whatever I want. As I said, I had enough of them. She can no longer embarrass or demean me in front of so many people.

"How dare you! If Lucas were to decide to divorce you, you'd be homeless and famished! You cannot survive in this world without the help of my son!"

"It is unnecessary to ask him! I had already divorced your son; were you uninformed? Oh well, you're a bit late! And just so you know, I can survive on my own, and I will prove it!"

She was horrified to hear this from me; her golden eyes widened, and she took out her phone to call Lucas.

"Lucas, dear! I simply want to know if Samantha was telling the truth! Did you two—" Emilia bit her bottom lip as she heard Lucas's response; she then smiled and glanced in my direction. She hung up the phone and took a deep breath before saying, "Well, I'm delighted you're finally out of this pack!"

“Oh, me too! I can't wait to leave here!" I said sarcastically, and I walked away.

“Don’t walk away when I’m still talking to you, b*tch!” she said and pulled the back of my hand and face me with her evil face.

“What do you want, Emilia?”

"I want you to respect me! Don't disrespect me or else—"

I sighed and grasped her arm with my claw, asking, "Otherwise, what? Are you going to harm me? Hmm?!" I confronted her and stared at her face with piercing eyes; she yelled in anguish when she felt the sharp claws in her arm. She shoved me and stepped aside, saying, "I can't believe you have the courage to insult me this way; you owe us everything! We spared you from being nearly killed by Dark Rogues, and now you're acting like an ungrateful bimbo!"

“I’m not ungrateful, and I just remembered that you are not the one who saved me, it’s your husband, therefore I don’t owe you anything, Emilia! Keep that in your little skull which has an empty brain!”

"I'm going to hunt you out! And beg for mercy on your knees!"

"Oh, I'm so scared! But if you mess with me again, I will do the same to you!"

I said as I eventually walked away. I could feel the seething rage within her, she tightened her fist while looking at me, like she wanted to attack, but she couldn’t. Her lips trembled, and I heard a tremendous growl inside the room. Oh, mother-in-law, I no longer care whether you cry with a growl!

Emilia was the most unpleasant mother-in-law I've ever had; I prayed I would never see her face again, as she has been a burden to me as well as her son.

She makes all decisions for me as if she owns me like a slave. And I appear like a good shepherd who praised her to the extent that I hoped she would soon be kind to me, but that did not happen. She humiliated and insulted me in front of the pack, and they didn't do anything to protect me from my cruel mother-in-law; not even Lucas cared. When he looked me in the eyes, he was both emotionless and expressionless. Now that I'm finally freed from this type of relationship and confinement. I hope everything will be fine and I can forget about Lucas because the past three years were a mess and a waste of time.
