Chapter 005

It was the incessant vibration of Ethan's ringing phone that woke him up from his cuddle with Abigail. Seeing the caller ID was from his assistant, he didn't hesitate to pick up the call. 

“Good morning, Alpha Ethan.” The assistant greeted. Ethan swung his legs off the bed and moved downstairs in order not to wake the sleeping Abigail.

“What's the matter?” Ethan asked,relaxed. “A set of rogues are attacking the site for the new project in dark city.” He said, voice shaking.

“How bad is the damage?” Ethan asked. “Let's say about 40 percent damage was done to the equipment. I think it's best you come check it out yourself,alpha.” The assistant replied. Ethan only replied with a low hum before he cut the call.

He was sure for certain that the rogues were under someone and that they had a common goal to be that united. Well, whatever it was,it could wait. All he wanted to do was cuddle Abigail all day long.

By the time he was back in the room, Abigail was already awake. “Good morning,”she greeted.  Ethan walked closer and sealed her lips with his own.

“I'm traveling to Dark city for something important.” He said. Abigail's smile faltered a bit,but she quickly adjusted, knowing she couldn't possibly keep him away from business. Alphas were always very busy.

“When will you be back?” She asked him, trying her best to remain cheerful. “I don't know yet,but I'll come back as soon as I'm done.” He smiled. 

After breakfast, Abigail saw Ethan off on his trip. Since he wouldn't be in the office for some days,it meant that she could work from home.

Not wanting to waste any time,she grabbed her laptop and got to work while munching on some snacks. 

When she was bored,she decided to go shopping. The mall was bustling with people, especially kids. Abigail loved kids, she'd always wished to have a kid of her own someday. She would cherish the child and always be there when needed or called upon.

She wondered if Ethan would love to have kids with her. Come to think of it,she had never asked him that question before. She put it in mind to ask him later.

Walking over to the men's section,she picked up a tie. She imagined how good the tie would look on Ethan when he wore it and smiled to herself. She also picked up a few things and paid for them at the counter before leaving.

She hadn't done far when someone had covered her nose with a handkerchief and dumped her unconscious body in a car. Abigail wanted to shout,scream and kick,but she couldn't even feel her limbs. She was temporarily paralyzed and couldn't move,so she stopped trying.

She didn't know how long they'd been riding for,but she fell asleep. By the time she woke up,she was in another place, sitting on a chair. 

“So,you're the hybrid my son and grandson are fighting tooth and nail for?” Pa Frey walked into the light. 

Abigail's heart pounded against her rib cage. Was this the legendary old Alpha standing in front of her? She parted her lips to speak,but no words came out.

“You should know better than to associate yourself with an Alpha. The Frey family is the most powerful pack,why would you associate yourself with us? Is it the power you want? Or fame? Your status elevated and forgotten?”

His cane hit against the ground as he walked forward with a stern expression.

“No. I love Ethan.” Abigail said. She wasn't a gold digger. She didn't want the power or her status elevated. Being with Ethan made her feel like a full wolf even though she was just a hybrid. He didn't judge her like the rest of them did.

“Alpha Ethan. You will pronounce his name with respect,hybrid.” Pa Frey frowned. Abigail quickly kept shut. She didn't want to anger him any further. If he decided to kill her there and then,no one would question him. His family literally ruled cities.

“I want you to stay away from my son and grandson. Or else,I will banish Ethan from the pack and declare him a rouge.” That was what he said before leaving.

“No! Please,give us a chance.” Abigail kept shouting,but the old Alpha didn't even look back at her. Abigail felt a hand chop the area between her head and neck. She fell unconscious again.

When Abigail woke up,she met herself on her bed,the shopping bag beside her. She didn't get up,she just let the hot tears of neglect and frustration fall down her face. Her phone vibrated beside her, Abigail picked it up. Seeing that the caller id was Ethan,she turned off her phone.

She'd always thought that she could live a happy life with Ethan and eventually have kids with him. How blind was she to not remember that Ethan was an Alpha and his marriage must be to another Alpha's daughter to keep peace between them.

She flashed back to when Liam had told her that she and Ethan would never end up together. Was this what he was talking about? Did Ethan also know? Was he playing her all along?
