Dreams and Donuts Part 2

Alpha Scott visibly perked up at that, smiling brightly. “Thank Goddess, I wasn’t able to get my usual this morning.” He glanced down at his desk and winced. “But they’ll have to wait for now, I have a lot to go over with you two.”

Mike scoffed in his seat. “Trying to butter up the Alpha now? Pathetic.” Rolling his eyes, he continued. “Not even a hello to me?” He gave me a narrow glare, looking me up and down.

“Mike, you do not even deserve my time, let alone a good morning.” I glared right back at him, not one to back down. “I’m sorry to be rude, but can we hurry this along? The longer I sit next to him, the more ill I feel.”

Mike rolled his eyes again, turning back to the Alpha. “I agree with her, actually. If it wasn’t for her and her wily charms, I would be with my fated mate right now.”

“Wily charms? You both drugged me, you married me, and now I’m the home wrecker?” I was seething then, trying to stay calm. I had been staying calm all this week, trying to get Mike’s things out of the house and my life back together, and now he was pinning this all as my fault? I wanted to growl and snap at him; but I reminded myself to take a calming breath and not let Mike get under my skin. The sooner we got this over with, the better.

“Now, both of you simmer down!” Alpha Scott held his head and glared at us, letting his aura slip out to make us settle. “I don’t care if you lot bicker outside of here, but I will not have such disrespect in front of me.”

I hung my head, properly scolded. “I’m sorry Alpha.” And I meant it too, everything was just so overwhelming lately, it seemed like everything was coming to a point. Mike just rolled his eyes and looked ahead, never one to apologize for anything.

“Now then, let’s see…” Alpha Scott went through the papers on the desk, reading them over quickly. “The lawyer mentions here that you claim that Mike forged your signature on a loan from the human bank?” He raised an eyebrow at me, waiting.

“Yes, I never took out a loan on my business as him as a co-signer. I spent my inheritance getting it up and running, there was no way in hell I would do something so reckless with it.” When my father had died after my mother, the pack had released their assets and my inheritance to me. It wasn’t much, but it helped me put the downpayment on the building, plus I was constantly making profit each month, enough to keep in in the black and pay my bills.

My mom and dad were always passionate about me following my dream of becoming a chef, so much so that they had paid for all of my schooling. I almost shed a tear when I remembered getting the call about my mom during the internship while I was away with a chef in New York. I didn’t have a lot left from the both of them, but what they left behind was basically their gift to me for finishing my schooling.

“Alright, since you’re claiming that, we can’t officiate your official divorce through the human courts until next Monday at the soonest. The best I can do for now is to break the bond completely.” He stood up, indicating us to do so as well. “Do you, Mike Swanson, agree to break this bond, never to forge anew?”

“I do.” Mike looked bored with the whole thing, plucking at his nails as he answered.

“And do you Melody Swanson agree to break this bond, never to forge anew?”

“I do.” I shook my head in agreement, wanting this to be over and done with.

“Then may Nix bless this parting, and may you find peace in a true mate.” Alpha Scott made a slicing motion with his hand, going right in the middle of Mike and me. As soon as he stopped, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off of me, the final strings to Mike being completely severed.

“Thank Goddess.” I sighed under my breath, everything with this bastard was almost over and done with, and I would more than likely get to the bank on time to get my proof. “Thank you Alpha.”

“Is there anything else I have to do? I want my Tiffany to be mine after everything we’ve been through.” I rolled my eyes as Mike said that. I was over his theatrics.
