Alpha's Cruel Goodbye

Two

I stared at the papers like they were relics. This couldn’t be happening, this should be a dream. No way my husband just shoved a divorce paper in my face after caught cheating on me with my best friend. Maybe it was a prank, maybe……

“What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers” Trent’s voice jarred me out of my reverie. I came back to reality, realizing this wasn’t a dream but very very real. I stared at the papers and scowled.

“I am not signing anything. Cheat on me all you want but I am not leaving you. You’ll come back to your senses and realize how much you miss me.” I said and Trent’s face darkened. He clenched his fist, he turned to Candice.

“Honey leave us a while, don’t want to you to see how angry she has made me.” He said and Candice even have the nerve to smile and kiss him before leaving the room. Trent turned back to me angrily.

“Are you crazy? Sign the papers and get the hell out of here” he growled and I shook my head.

“No” I said. Trent unclenched and clenched his fists.

“You are crazy. I have never realized this but I see so now. Sign the papers or I’ll make your life hell” he roared. I stared at him stubbornly.

“You are making it hell already. But I am ready to stay” I said and he snarled. I could tell he was on edge, he was obviously controlling his wolf and his eyes were starting to turn yellow.

“Don’t get me pissed” his voice was unnerving and deep. Like two people were talking at once. If I wasn’t scared before then I was now. Why was he so angry at me ti the extent of almost loosing his cool. Was this how much he hated me? How could he even hate this much? Did he really hate me this much? I used to think he loved me or even feel the tiniest shred of affection in his heart for me. But now I couldn’t even see the man that used to caress me affectionately. All I was seeing was a werewolf struggling to keep him from not mauling his wife.

“Please don’t send me away. I still love you and I will always love you. I can bear to lose you” I said and he shook his head at me.

“Well I don’t. I don’t love you, I never loved you. Candice was who I loved all along. You are just a backup plan Veronica” he said. It felt like someone plunged a knife into my heart. I was so stunned that I couldn’t even breathe.

I never loved you. Candice was who I loved all along.

I stared at the papers in my hands and thought of tearing them but he could just do another. Why don’t I just sign it and get this done with? I shook my head, I still couldn’t think of life without Trent. I loved him, even if he just told me he didn’t love me back. 

“Trent Please” I moved closer and he scowled. “I’ll do anything you want” I added and his scowl deepened.

“What I want is for you to sign those papers, then we are done here” he said. I shook my head.

“I won’t, you can’t force me”I said and he smiled, a cruel one. Yes you are right, I can’t but I can’t make you to” he said and stormed away. The moment he left I fell on my knees and wept. The man I loved did not even love me back and worse he was now with my best friend. An obvious slap to the face. Nothing had even hurt as this. Not even when I lost my parents.

The door opened and Trent walked in, holding another set of papers. He smirked evilly.

“Sign the papers” he started and I shook my head.

“No” I said and he smiled.

“Then I’ll take the company rights and give it to Candice” he said and my heart stopped.

“You can’t……..I…I”

“Yes I can” he said and I sighed. There was no point trying to make him see reason. It was obvious his mind had been made up even a long time ago. I stared at the paper and held out my hand for the pen tiredly, the tears refusing to stop falling for my eyes.

He grinned and handed me a pen. I signed next to his signature and he smile widened.

“Good girl, perhaps you find a guy who would take a trash like you. Omegas maybe. No alpha or even a beta in his right senses would even take a rejected crap like you Veronica” he said. I broke down once I was done signing and stared at his face to even check if I would see the tiniest bit of pity or remorse. But when I looked at his face there was nothing. Just the cold weight of his eyes on me.

“Thank you for being smart” he said and took the papers from my shaky hands. “I’ll drop this at the lawyer’s tomorrow. Then it’s official” he said and I sighed.

“I still love you Trent. No matter how hard you push me away” I said and he shrugged.

“Like I said, I don’t. Try thinking of the upcoming red moon festival. I am sure people would have a lot of questions” he said and walked away. After a full thirty minutes of sobbing, I stood to my feet and took only a few of my clothes into the car. I wasn’t taking anything else. I still loved him but maybe it was time to move on. Maybe this was the goddess giving me a sign. 

“You can do this Ronnie” my wolf said and I smiled.

“I wish you were right, friend” I replied and shook my head.

I was done with men. Never again was I falling in love
