Chapter 029

“Daven! You fucking bastard!”

They were standing in front of Daven’s car and Abigail was hoping for a miracle otherwise she was going to bolt. But when she remembered he knew her name and probably more than that, she focused on praying to the moon goddess.

Then Liam's voice boomed from behind them. As much as she hated being in his presence, it was a relief that someone was coming to save her. 

Liam was ready to fight a second time. He appeared from his car and marched towards Daven, who was holding Abigail's hand. The sight made him madder.

He glared at her. “I can't believe this, Abigail. Are you truly just moving from one pure wolf to the other?”

The question took her off guard. Abigail knew Liam had a knack for misunderstanding things. It was the reason they never worked out. But this was beyond it. She never thought he would accuse her of social climbing.

Daven enjoyed seeing Liam that way. Mad and losing control.

“You haven't changed, Liam,” he said. “Always blaming others for your mistakes.”

Even though Abigail hated Daven at his point and would very much prefer to have her hand cut away from his, she agreed with his statement. Liam always felt he was right and everyone was at fault. 

“Just the same way you're blaming your father for selling his company to our pack.”

The statement made Abigail's heart freeze. Was he Alpha Makael's son?

She had always known that her former boss had a son. But she didn't know him. Mia had told her he was abroad and hated wolves. Was this the son?

Her heart began to race. 

She didn't want any more complications. Words were going round that Alpha Makael was blaming her for his company death after it skyrocketed following Ethan's purchase, especially with the news that she was secretly dating Liam.

“That company is mine,” Daven declared with a false confidence Abigail had come to realise he carried around. “I'm going to get it back, Liam. Just like I've got your girl.”

Abigail yanked her hand away. “I'm not his girl,” she said..”whatever is going on between the two of you…I don't want to be involved.”

Liam's eyes fell on her now. Abigail looked beautiful..even more beautiful than the picture Daven had posted. And it made him realise how much he missed her and wanted her back..

“She's my girl,” he maintained. “And you can't have her.”

Daven grabbed her hand again. “She's a hybrid. She belongs to no one. I paid for her dinner and I can have her for the night.”

Liam bit his lips and faced Abigail. “You should have told me you were hungry and broke, Abby.” He returned his gaze back to Daven. “I'll pay it back. Just let her go.”

He didn't let go of her hand even when Abigail tried to pull it out. “You don't get to keep her all to yourself.”

Abigail fought back her tears as they argued about their ownership of her while she stood there. Now, she regretted coming out in the first place. She was between the devil and the red sea all because she wanted to have a night of solo fun. 

She didn't want to go with Daven and her decision was resolved even more after learning that he is the son of her former boss. She wasn't a prostitute. She was only a hardworking girl who had stumbled upon a good cash. 

Sadly, money wasn't enough in werewolf city. It was the blood that mattered.

And hers screamed hybrid, screamed commodity.

“I won't let you go anywhere with her,” Liam maintained. “She's my girlfriend and we're not together now because we had a minor issue. Isn't that right, babe?”

Abigail had to agree. That was the only Daven would let her be.

But Daven laughed. “And who's gonna approve of that? Your father? I think he's too busy preparing for your wedding. Everyone knows what hybrids are good for.”

Abigail wanted to spit on his face, snap out of control, and yell unprintable things at him. But she held her cool. Like Daven had said over ten times, she was a hybrid. And the justice system didn't favour her kind..

“Abigail is not a prostitute,” Liam explained. “You have to let go off her hand and find someone else.”

A playful smile appeared on Daven's face. He was enjoying the show. 

“You don't get to decide who I fuck, Liam.” He pulled Abigail to his side, firming her against his shoulder. “She makes me crave sex and I'll have it with her.”

Liam stepped forward, unhandling their hands. Abigail tried to break through in vain. It made Liam more angry that he was holding her tightly to himself. 

When the hand wasn't budging, his rounded fist reached for his jaw. Daven's jaws crashed against each other. He cried and as soon as his hand was released from Abigail's, he pulled her to his side.

“Stay away from Abigail. Otherwise, the next time, I'll be doing more than this.” 

Daven recovered from the fight and staggered to a standing position. “Nothing’s going to stop me, you should be busy preparing for your new sibling. Isn't your mom back with your father?”

His chuckle was a lure this Liam couldn't avoid. But the news caught Abigail off guard. This afternoon when he had talked to her and Bianca was there, she hadn't known Bianca was already carrying his baby

It disgusted her to think so. 

Had Ethan truly moved on? She wondered. Was that why he had something important to tell her? Ethan had told her that he had a complicated issue with Bianca that he never wanted to sort. That was what he had told her. 

But he was already having a kid with his ex, barely a month after their break up. She reeled. 

“You know what!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. “I don't give a damn about any of you. I'll go home and I don't want to see your faces again.”

She started towards the road. Daven tried to stop her but Liam threw him a punch. Abigail didn't bother to look back at the two men fighting. 

It was enough that she was just learning that Ethan made a fool of her. How was she going to deal with seeing him everyday and knowing he was about to be a father and was back to the woman he claimed to have loved?
