CHAPTER 3: VENGEANCE

ALEXANDER POV

I stared at her as she was taken away, and my heart sank. I didn’t understand why, but I felt a deep pain knowing she was being sent to a mental hospital. The very thought drove me to the brink of insanity. She was the mother of my newborns, and that made me weak. I wanted to protect her, to take her in my arms and comfort her, maybe even take her like I did nine months ago.

“Fuck! You’re insane,” I cursed internally, fighting against my wolf. The damn wolf wouldn’t give me peace, not after Daniela was taken away.

“You know you can’t shame your family. You can’t admit you had a one-night stand with an Omega. You can’t admit that, right?” I tried to convince Ronald, my wolf, but he kept on wiggling inside me, making it hard to concentrate.

“She’s not our mate. Why are you fighting for her?”

“I don’t know, but I feel she should be.”

“Keep dreaming. We can’t have an Omega as our mate. That’s why we had to get rid of her after she gave birth.” I tried to reason with him, but my wolf wouldn’t listen. He kept fighting me, causing my eyes to change from dark to yellowish.

As soon as she was taken out, I rushed upstairs to the room where my pups were. I needed to calm myself down. The only person who could calm my mind was Daniela and i had realised that in our one night stand, but now, she was gone for good.

Surprisingly, she was the only one who made me feel alive that night at the club. That was the reason for our one-night stand. She was an Omega, but I didn’t understand why I was so drawn to her. It felt like a connection I couldn’t explain.

After her, I never found the same satisfaction with another she-wolf.

Walking into the room after leaving the guests in the living hall, I heard my pups crying and clenched my fists.

Since Beta Lucas took them away from Daniela in the labour ward, they had been crying non-stop. One of them had a headache from all the crying.

“Rose, why is she crying? Are you tired of your work?” I roared, and the Omega shook her head vigorously, trying to soothe the baby.

“Bring her here,” I ordered, and she quickly complied.

“What’s wrong, my love? Don’t cry, daddy is here.” I smiled at her small fingers as I played with them.

I decided to name my baby girl Katherine after Laura’s mother, to appease Laura.

Laura’s pack was vast and wealthy, while mine was struggling after what happened in my family. That’s why my mother chose Laura as my mate, hoping her pack would help ours grow.

My phone rang, and I pulled it from my pocket. Katie quieted down, playing with her fingers while Nathaniel was with the other maid in the room. Seeing a private number on the caller ID, I frowned.

“Rose, take her and prepare her anf her brother for the party. I need to take this.” The Omega rushed over, took Katie, and I left the room.

“Brother.” I heard the voice on the other end and froze, my eyes widening in the hallway.

“Alphonce!” I cleared my throat, trying to compose myself, but I was anything but calm. I rushed to the railings, leaning my left hand there while gripping the phone tightly with my right.

“Are you surprised to hear from me?”

“What do you want, Alphonce?” I hissed, flabbergasted and nervous.

“Oh, stop it, brother. Have you already forgotten what mother and you did to me?” I exhaled deeply, raising my eyes to the ceiling.

“Stay away from us, Alphonce. You said you didn’t want anything to do with us, remember?”

“I said that, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t come back for revenge.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I’m not. Just be careful, brother.”

“Hello? Hello?” The call was cut off abruptly, just like the relationship I had with Alphonce.

“Fuck it!” I paced back and forth, wondering what was on Alphonce’s mind, but I couldn’t figure it out.

Why come after all these years?

What was he planning?

“My love.” I turned to see Laura strutting towards me.

“Yes.”

“I’ve made her disappear,” she said with a smile satified with her actions, raising her face for a kiss on the cheek.

“We need to prepare for the party.” I nodded, faking a smile, then walked side by side with her into the room. I still needed to talk to my mother about the sudden call from Alphonce.

ALPHONCE POV

I formed a sinister smile as I stared at the phone in my hand, then threw it back in my pocket.

“Home sweet home,” I murmured, smiling at the sight before me.

“Sir, everything is in order,” one of my men said, and I nodded.

Who would have thought I’d get the chance to avenge my mate so soon?

“Good, let’s go.” I rushed to the back door of the car, one of the men already opening it for me. I jumped in, leaning my head back on the seat.

I still couldn’t believe I was back here, a place I vowed ten years ago never to return to. But could I be blamed for seeking revenge on those who wronged my mate and me? And who were they but my own biological family?

Should I remove my glasses? No. Who knew what the paparazzi would do? Plus, I didn’t want to hear the obvious comments.

“Is he the Alpha?”

“Wow! But our Alpha doesn’t dress like that.” I smiled at those familiar comments and closed my eyes, adjusting my black suit as the driver accelerated.

Time for vengeance!
