Chapter 003

Alpha Makael slammed the pictures on the table. “How is this supposed to help me?!” He asked the masked man in front of him.

“Look closer alpha. Isn't that woman your former assistant?” The masked man asked. Alpha Makael frowned, picking the pictures back up. He looked at it with anger and lust for blood.

“Abigail.” He whispered.

“Exactly boss. Isn't it strange she and the new alpha who bought your company are so close.” He stepped forward. “Hmmn, investigate further.” He growled. 

~~~

Abigail stirred in bed. Her brows furrowed as her eyes opened. Her arms reached to feel Ethan by her side,but he wasn't there.

She yanked the duvet over and lazily walked to the living room. The whole place had been swept clean and the broken furniture replaced. She smiled , sending a thank you text to Ethan.

he lazily took her bath and brushed her hair while thinking of Liam's audacity yesterday.

Thinking back to when she met Liam,she couldn't believe how wild he'd grown. He was the only wolf who was kind to a hybrid like her. Abigail was an orphan,she was lucky to be put in one of the Frey's orphanages.

More lucky because she got a scholarship sponsored by the Frey's. She and Liam had been friends since they were kids. Every year,the Frey's would host a Christmas party for them at the orphanage,it was during one of such that she met Liam.

They ended up in the same school and grew acquainted. Liam was the sweetest kid back then. Now,he's like a monster.

Her parents had died way long ago,she couldn't remember a single thing that happened or if she still had any relatives. All she knew was that her father was a disgraced omega and her mother was a human. She was basically an abomination.

She wondered what really went wrong between Liam and Ethan that drove a thick wedge between them. Whatever it was,it was better not to find out and open old wounds.

Since it was the weekend,she decided to go shopping for groceries down the street. Dressed in her oversized hoodie and pants,she strolled down to the mall.

 She walked into the mall and headed to the grocery section. The scene she met twisted something in the pit of her stomach.

An assistant was on her knees, pleading with a luxuriously dressed woman. 

Abigail sighed,she'd seen the scene too many times. The assistant was a hybrid,like all the other assistants. Hybrids were always discriminated against and made to do only the menial jobs. 

Abigail herself only got to be the CEOs assistant because her education was sponsored by the most powerful wolf family. The Freys.

She shifted her gaze and went ahead to pick necessary things for cooking. When she was done,she walked over to the counter to pay.

The assistant there was nice and had a warm smile on her face. “Pft! How can a hybrid like you afford something so expensive.” The luxuriously dressed woman she'd ignored the other time suddenly appeared.

Abigail didn't even bother looking,she just handed the assistant her card. The assistant took the card with trembling fingers. He quickly finalized the payment and returned the card.

Abigail walked out of the mall without sparing the woman a single look. It was best to avoid trouble.

~~~ Frey Mansion ~~~

The maids kept their disgust hidden as a disheveled Liam walked into the compound. His shirt was torn. His face, covered with bruises and cuts. He smelled of alcohol.

He staggered into the mansion,just in time to meet Pa Frey walk into the living room. “You…” the old alpha started.

“Where have you been?” He asked.

Liam raised his head,his eyes still drunk.“That is a question you should ask your son.” 

The listening servants gasped,no one ever dared to talk to the old alpha like that. “What happened?” Pa Frey asked, containing his anger.

“What happened? Your son stole my woman from me and he imprinted on her!” Liam shouted. He staggered forward. “I…I was going to marry her. Have cute little cubs with her! But my father stole her from me.” 

The old alpha wasn't really aware or interested in Liam's love life,he always viewed him as a broken wolf. A lost cub. A lost cause. 

But,if what Liam was saying was actually true,it could tear the Frey family apart.

Liam fell to his knees. “He stole my Abigail from me.” He wept. Pa Frey sighed,it seemed Liam was obsessed with this wolf, whoever she was.

“What pack is she from?” He asked,his brows knitting. Liam kept his head low, hesitant to speak. 

Pa Frey's frown deepened. 

“What pack is she from?” He asked again,but Liam didn't answer,he just kept his head low and walked away.

“Leonard!” Pa Frey called the butler's name angrily. The old lad ran to his master's side as fast as he could.

“Get me every information about this…Abigail.” He ordered.

The butler quickly nodded

 “Yes sir,I'll do that at once.”

Pa Frey's frown didn't waver,he wouldn't allow all he built for years to sink overnight. “And call Ethan back home.” He added. The butler quickly left to perform the assigned task,he didn't want to anger the old alpha.

Unknown to them,Clara had been listening all along. When she heard the news that Ethan was with someone,she got angry and scared. She couldn't allow her well built empire in the Frey mansion as the house mistress to go to waste. She couldn't let Ethan marry someone,no matter the cost.

She quickly went into her room and dialed a number. “Hello,I need you to help me investigate someone.” She said.
