The Alpha After Divorce
Chapter 4
Samantha’s POV
Before leaving, I glanced at Emilia who was so enraged at me. I waited for the cab to arrive, and I'm considering returning to the mansion where I once stayed. I believe I left some important items there, and I must retrieve them before Lucas arrives.
Now, I hate Lucas, because every time I think about him, my blood boils in rage.
Now that I've signed the contract and received the black card, I can finally use my father's power to its fullest extent.
But I cannot simply use it for my benefit; I am not like that.
The black gate shut behind me as the taxi pulled up. I took a long breath and exhaled; I knew I could do it and live alone and be happy without them.
“Frederson’s Mansion…” I said to the driver and he already knows where I’m headed.
The Frederson family was known as one of the country's most powerful families, but humanity was unaware of who they really are, or us.
This generation has long been aware of werewolves, but no one could believe we exist, so we continue to grow and expand alongside humans.
We are not a secret; only humans refuse to acknowledge the truth.
The clean, fresh air that envelops my nostrils is woodsy and reminiscent of my childhood memories. After paying the taxi driver, I exit the vehicle and unlock the front gate with my fingerprints, as I still have access to this mansion.
I walked carefully, and the sound of my heels rang across the area; the maids were gone. "Did Lucas fire everyone? Impossible…" I sensed that someone was inside the house. I smell her distinctive scent; "Jessica..." I muttered to myself. My eyes widened, and opened the front door with one hand.
But the home was empty. I walked up the stairs and rushed upstairs to grab the things that I left in there. I don't want anybody to smell my scent in this house anymore, so I'm taking everything with me.
But as I was taking some things, I heard footsteps heading to my doorway, "Who's there?"
"Guess who!" I heard the familiar sound of the voice of a woman. I sighed deeply and stopped what I was doing. Then I put my belongings on the bed and looked about, but I didn't see anyone. Just when I turned my back, I was startled to see Jessica in front of me.
"What are you doing here?!" I yelled at her angrily.
Jessica's eyes are cast downwards as she examines me from head to toe, and she scoffs gently. As if she were attempting to offend me with her steely gaze. She is wearing a red tube dress that accentuates her attractiveness because her complexion complements the garment and her body is as curvy as an hourglass. No wonder Lucas was so fascinated with her.
I sighed and fought her with my stare also. Jessica bit her lower lip, clicked her tongue, and laughed at me as if I were a clown standing in front of her.
“What’s funny, Jessica?” I fold my arms around my arms while being confused with her.
She laughed bitterly and said, "I don't know, you just look so funny!" She then rubbed her palms together and peered at me, saying, "So the rumor was true, you two were divorced, which is so great! Because you know what? Lucas will always be mine, even in the end; his heart will always belong to me!"
"Of course, I don't need to compete with that, he's all yours, and I no longer care!" I stated calmly and turned my back to collect my things, at which point she approached me from behind and roughly pushed me.
"Jessica, I am not looking for chaos!" I maintain self-control while glancing at her.
"Why? Are you this weak and pathetic? You cannot fight me?!" She said this while showing me her long, sharp claws; her eyes glittered and glowed in the dark. Since the mansion had no lights, I rudely turned on the light and smiled at her. "No matter how much I fight you, it will always be my fault! Therefore, do not test me, Jessica, as I would fight you if I could!" I said while attempting to warn her.
She simply shook her head and laughed again, "I'm the daughter of the Alpha! I possess infinite strength! And you are worthless!" She insults me once more.
"That's why you became a luna, oh...let me check, you were the Useless Luna of the Madcrest Pack, so how does it feel to be useless and unable to even bear the offspring of an Alpha?"
"Is that so? Or is it because he has not touched you or had sex with you since the first day of your marriage? So pathetic…Lucas was only forced to marry you because of his father; if not for his father, you will always remain an outcast, a servant, and a peasant!"
I want to slap her, but I can't because I don't need another complication in my life right now. I attempted to avoid her, but she now stands before me, daring me to act against her.
"Jessica!" I hissed as I uttered her name.
She smiled at me and asked, "Are you terrified of me?"
"I'm not terrified of you!" Then she attempted to block my path, and I shoved her lightly in my rage, but I was surprised when she acted as if I had severely injured her.
I've just realized that Lucas had arrived at our house in a foul mood; his face was dark and gloomy just before I took a step back and gulped in nervousness. I wish I could explain everything to him, but I know he will never believe me no matter what I say or do. He will opt to trust the woman who has kept his heart beating for years.
Lucas ran to help Jessica to get up, the best actress woman really good at pretending that she fell really seriously.
"What the f*ck are you doing, Samantha?!"
“W-what? I didn't do anything—"
I bit the inside of my lower lip as Lucas's footsteps approached, and he roared, "Stop lying to me, Samantha?!"
“Lucas, you need to believe me, why would I lie to you!” I said while my voice was trembling in fear.
"Your heart is beating so fast, you're lying," he stated, causing me to scowl.
"I'm not exaggerating, Lucas! If you want to believe her! Then be it! I just returned here to retrieve some of my belongings, and then she came to annoy me!" I stated while pointing my finger toward Jessica.
Jessica approached Lucas and placed her arms around his waist. Upon seeing them so close together in front of me, I felt a slight irritation in my heart.
"You need to apologize to her, Samantha!"
My jaw dropped as I couldn't believe him saying that.
"What?! Why would I apologize to her?" I shake my head and control back my tears then smile bitterly at them, "I won't! Never!"
