Chapter 4 Resignation letter

Freya

“What? I’m innocent! I wouldn’t steal anything from you…” I pleaded as the guards ambushed me. I stared at Alpha Jasper, waiting for him to stop the guards but disappointment slowly sank into my heart as he averted his gaze.

“Make sure Mia’s ring is found.” He ordered and I gulped down the lump in my bitter throat which was threatening to slit it open.

I couldn’t believe my eyes as the guards came over and began touching me inappropriately. Tears filled my eyes as I watched him, my body trembling with disbelief.

“Found it!” Mia screamed after five minutes and the guards released me, tears kept gushing out of my eyes as embarrassment turned my skin red.

“Oh… You should understand how these things work. Freya, Mia was so worried but now that the ring has been found, we shouldn’t have accused you. Take the day off, I’ll have the accounting department compensate you richly for this.” He muttered as Mia pressed herself into his arms, smiling at me with triumph and I scoffed.

Without a word, I turned around and dashed out of the hall, sobbing as floods of pain took over my heart. Once outside, I fell to the ground, sobbing loudly as I stared at the sky.

“Where did I ever go wrong? What did I ever do to deserve such? Why me?” I wept bitterly, unable to understand why I was so unlucky.

“Everything will be fine, Freya…” Bree whispered and I scoffed.

“I can’t take it anymore Bree… The humiliation is too much… I can’t…” I murmured as more tears rolled down my cheeks.

I rose from the ground and slowly walked towards the house, letting the midnight breeze calm my storming heart.

Once inside the house, I grabbed a piece of paper and sat in front of my table. I stared at the blank paper, wondering if it was right to write a letter to the Alpha.

“For eight years…” I started the letter and my tears began to wet the paper, making it impossible to write or see.

“Gather yourself together, draft a small resignation letter and leave…” I whispered to myself as I inhaled and exhaled.

Morning

I stared at the pack suitcases, I had spent the entire night gathering my belongings and today I was determined to leave the pack.

My head was aching terribly and I forced myself to have my bath while gritting every memory of yesterday out of my head.

I got dressed and grabbed my bag, I wore dark shades to hide my dark spot and after checking myself in the mirror, I headed out.

“Everything is going to be fine…” I whispered to myself repeatedly, hoping if I said it countless times then it’d happen.

“Oh, Freya… Good morning.” I greeted the receptionist who stared at me sadly.

“Are you okay? I saw the video of you being searched at the party…” She whispered and I gasped, I managed to smile and nod after a brief silence.

“Thank you.” I muttered and she smiled.

“Is the alpha in yet?”

“Yes, he came in a few minutes ago with the love of his life.” She answered and I nodded.

After bracing myself up, I went over to his office and knocked on the door slowly.

“Come in.” He grunted and Mia’s eyes lit up with disgust as I walked in.

“Good morning, Alpha… I'd like to submit my resignation letter.” I muttered and he frowned heavily.

Mia was sitting on his leg and she rose up, a haughty smile on her face as she stared at me.

“Why? Was it because of what happened at the party? Are you quitting because of me?” Mia demanded, trying to sound concerned and I rolled my eyes.

“It’s not because of you, Mia… I’ll take care of this.” Alpha Jasper assured.

“Is it because you want a raise? I’ll arrange for the finance department to give you a raise and a yearly all paid vacation, is that enough?” He demanded and I shook my head.

“I’m sorry but I'm leaving, I can’t stay anymore.” I replied and he frowned.

“You’re my employee and according to the laws, you can’t leave immediately without any approval.” He muttered and I smiled coldly.

“The law also states I can leave if it’s an emergency, I’m sorry, Alpha Jasper but I’m leaving.” I replied and placed the letter on the table.

“Freya…”

“I’ll go talk to her, you can leave it to me.” Mia muttered before dashing after me.

“What do you want?” I demanded and she smirked coldly.

“Oh nothing, I’ve gotten what I wanted already… Too bad you didn’t wait for him to mark me before leaving but I’m sure you’ll get an invitation to our wedding.”

She replied and I smiled.

“Is that all? Thank you but I’m not interested in attending, I wish you both a happy life.” I replied and turned to leave but she grabbed my hand.

“Not so fast, why are you in a hurry? Does it hurt that much?” She taunted and I pulled my hand away.

“Let go! You want him and you have him already, why the fuck can’t you be okay with that!” I demanded angrily and she smiled.

“I want you to weep and crawl on the floor, pleading for mercy… I want to shove my wedding in your face and show you what you worked hard for years to get but couldn’t because he belongs to me.” She replied with a smirk and I inhaled, trying to contain my anger.

“You’re weak…” before she could complete her sentence, I landed a slap on her cheeks and her eyes widened with shock. She was stunned for a moment and goddess knew I had never felt so light and happy in days.

“How…” I landed a second slap on her cheek, smirking.

“This is just a tip for all you’ve done…” I retorted and tears began streaming down her cheeks.

“What’s going on? Mia… what did you do?” Jasper demanded as he walked out of the office and her face turned red as more water spilled.

“Jasper, she hit me twice… I was trying to…”

“Save it, I’m leaving.” I replied as I turned my heels and walked out, leaving behind every ounce of feeling I once felt for the Alpha.
