Signed By Alpha Black

Tessa’s heart pounded violently in her chest. “Al… Alpha Black is getting married?” She finally managed to say, staring intently at them.

She had always known at some point that her relationship with Black would become public. But she hadn’t expected it to happen so suddenly, especially when they hadn’t agreed on how or when to reveal it.

“Yes bitch! What world do you even live in? Don’t you watch the news?” Elara asked dramatically.

Sophia chuckled. “I doubt she does.”

Tessa’s face went red. “You don’t have to throw it in my face. I’ve just been busy lately, so I haven’t had time to keep up with gossip.” she muttered.

“But is this actually real? I mean, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumours like this. How do we know it’s not just another false story?” Tessa asked, still finding it hard to believe that the world already knew about her and Black.

“Oh, this is very real, okay?” Elara said with a sheepish smile. “The news was everywhere last night, and his sister confirmed it this morning. It’s literally the talk of the town.”

“H-his sister?” Tessa repeated, her cheeks turning even redder.

Black’s sister was someone she had always admired from afar, and hearing that she approved of their relationship eased some of her fears and made her forget her anxiety about the public finding out about them.

“Even though I’m really sad that Alpha Black is officially off the market and we can’t flirt with him anymore, I’m happy that he finally got to be with someone he loves,” Elara said dreamily before her eyes suddenly landed on Tessa’s hand. “Wait… is that a diamond ring? Let me see!”

She said pointing at the gorgeous ring excitedly.

“Yeah, me too! I never got a proper look at it.” Sophia leaned forward. “Oh my God, Tess… are you getting married?”

Tessa blushed and tucked a loose curl behind her ear before stepping closer and showing them the ring.

“Oh my God, Tess, this is gorgeous. I bet it cost thousands of dollars,” Sophia whispered.

“Yeah, now I’m wondering what Alpha Black got for his fiancée. I bet he bought her something insane… maybe even the Jewel of the Blue Sea.” Elara chipped in.

Tessa felt her heart stumble in her chest. She thought they knew already.

“Wait… you all don’t know?” She asked. The two girls looked at her in confusion.

“Know what?” Sophie asked.

Tessa quickly shook her head. “Sorry, I mean… you all don’t know who Alpha Black’s fiancée is?”

Elara let out a sigh. “Of course not. Nobody knows who she is yet. But I bet she’s definitely one of those rich Alpha daughters from a powerful pack or some wealthy family company, right, Sophia?”

“Obviously,” Sophia nodded confidently. “That’s what always happens in stories and movies. The rich Alpha marries a rich she-wolf to strengthen alliances between packs, and then they just keep getting richer.”

Tessa swallowed hard. “I… I need to go.”

“Already?” Sophia frowned. “I thought you’d stay and chat with us a little longer. Besides, once work starts, we won’t get another chance.”

“Sorry, I have duties to attend to,” Tessa replied and gave them a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes before turning and leaving the kitchen, completely forgetting the morning tea she had planned to drink before starting work.

Entering the omegas quarters, Tessa immediately searched through her handbag for her phone. Coming face to face with the screen, she felt a gallop in her chest when she didn’t see any miss calls or messages from Black. Normally he would have called her by now or at least sent her a text, but for the past three days he hadn’t called once and she hadn’t seen him anywhere in the pack house either.

Plopping down on the chair behind her, Tessa took a deep breath and opened her browser. Before she could even type anything she saw it pop up as one of the trending topics on her list.

Her fingers hesitated for a moment before she tapped on it. She took her time reading through the articles. It was just as Sophie and Elara had said. The young alpha was getting married and the wedding was scheduled to happen in just a few days, but the identity of the bride remained anonymous.

A small smile crept to her lips, knowing Black did that to respect her privacy. In as much as she was eager to know if Black’s parents had finally approved of her, she stopped herself from calling Black wanting to hear the news from him in person. She was just about to exit the browser and return to work when a text notification appeared on her screen. It was from the head omega telling her to come to her office immediately.

Tessa frowned.

Wondering what it could be about, she exited the browser, straightened her skirt and left the room, heading towards the office where Helen, the head omega was waiting. Soon she got there and knocked lightly.

Come in.”

Tessa pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Helen sat behind her desk with a strange expression on her face.

“Morning, Miss Helen,” Tessa greeted politely. But instead of replying, Helen sighed and slid an envelope across the desk.

“Read it,” she said flatly.

Tessa brows furrowed and she felt a strange feeling settle in her chest. Slowly, she picked up the envelope and opened it, pulling out the paper inside.

Following the Alpha’s seal was a sack letter directly addressed to Miss Tessa Morgan. Tessa froze with her eyes glued to the paper as if reading it again would somehow change the words.

Termination of employment, approved and signed by Alpha Black Wesley.
