ALPHA ZACH

"You can stop now, Bella," Zach said to the woman sitting right beside him moaning. Earlier, he'd asked her to put on a show in order to make Alina Jealous.

It was all Zach's goal to make the woman who dumped him several years ago to get jealous and hurt because he knew he had the upper hand now. So many years ago, this same woman had rejected him right in front of many people, he almost went insane.

He was humiliated completely by her actions and he almost lost his position as Alpha because the information of his mate rejecting him went viral. His father waited so long for him to present his mate to him, however, he couldn't even do that before the old man's death.

She disappointed him beyond his imagination and he carried that hatred inside him for years. Zach stood up from the emerald green jacquard couch, moving towards the counter to get himself a drink.

It was suffocating to be there with Bella Instead of Alina. Even though he claimed he hated her, deep down he still had a feeling for Alina. But he had to make her pay first for what she did in the past.

He pulled out a bottle of red wine and a tumbler which he immediately poured a large sum for himself and he started to drink. Bella appeared behind him, she placed her hands on his chest through his underarms, she massaged him slowly while she moaned.

"Zach, I know that you still care for Alina, but I'm here, why can't you give me a chance?" She asked him.. He frowned and she saw it through the transparent glass in front of them. Zach has never loved her, he only used her back then to get over Alina and yet he is doing the same thing over again.

She thought that staying by his side would earn her a place in his heart one day but it never did till now and she was becoming frustrated. She didn't know what else to do with him. She'd tried to seduce him several times, yet he never touched her. Bella watched him drink, while she took a seat in a nearby chair.

She wanted to get Alina out of the picture at all costs, she just wanted Zach all to herself. She is the daughter of a very powerful alpha who is Zach's business associate. She was beautiful, powerful and a top career woman. Her wolf was also strong and she is fit to be his Luna.

She meets all the standards, she just couldn't imagine that Zach would trade everything to be with Alina. Bella slowly took off the robe she was putting on and she made her hair bouncy and brushing on her shoulder.

She then moved closer to Zach, trying to gain his attention again.

She placed her hands on his shoulder and pressed it slightly, as he gazed at her, she quickly bit her lips seductively. "I'm all yours for tonight, Zachary.." she stated.

He instead pulled a long frown on his face and banged the tumbler hard on the counter, startling her.

"You should know how to maintain your place, Bella. I only invited you to do your usual job. Do not let it get into you" he declared, getting up from his seat.

She tried to touch him again but he pushed her off quickly. Alina was the only woman he wanted to touch, kiss and make scream his name.

He couldn't deny it, he missed her so much. As soon as Zach reached outside the hotel room, he entered his car and ordered Adolphus to drive. His Beta has been waiting for him in the car for over twenty minutes since he texted a while ago.

"Where are we heading, Alpha?" Adolphus asked.

"To the mansion" he answered coldly.

Zach stared at his phone when he received a notification. It came from his lawyer, he'd contacted them previously to prepare a legal document. His marriage with Alina was already three years, just as he stated in their previous agreement.

She had just three years to make up for the last time she'd hurt him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alina had just finished crying after receiving an image from an anonymous number which she believed to be Bella's. She'd sent her an image of Zach and her together on the couch.

It was so intimate, Alina couldn't hold back her emotions and she cried so hard. Her heart ached badly. How could Zach do this to her? He'd been hurting her since the first day and he never stopped till now.

Alina wiped her face with water as it's gone totally crimson for the same reasons it's always gotten that same way for years.

She made her way back to the bedroom after throwing up twice. The pregnancy sickness was intense, she wondered how long she would be able to hold it until Zach finds out.

She couldn't imagine how he'd neglect her when he realizes.

She pushed the door open and was about to head outside when Zach's tall figure towered over her. She blinked, not expecting to see him in the mansion that day.

He'd finished spending a loving moment with his mistress, how dare he come back to her still smelling like Bella? She turned her face away and headed back into the bedroom. Zach hastened his pace as he followed her.

"Where are you going, Alina?" He immediately asked, she paused right in the middle of the bedroom and then she turned facing him.

"Zachary, it's been three years of our marriage. How long do you intend to continue hurting me this way?" Alina asked him.

She could see the rage In his eyes when she glared at him. Zach never liked her or anyone raising their voices at him.

"Alina...." He tried to speak but she didn't let him. She immediately interrupted him.

"Oh, spare me the crap, Zach. I know that it's all my fault, but you do not always have to do your things so cowardly. You could've rejected me the same way I did to you. Instead of torturing me this way. It's been three good years. Haven't I paid for my sins already?" She asked, feeling aggravated by him.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was all tensed up, she wanted to leave there.

"Alina...." Zach tried to speak but she continued again.

"Do you even love me, Zach? Tell me!" She gritted.

"No, Alina. I've never ever loved you. Matter of fact, I see you as my tool everytime" Zach responded.

And just as she expected, he grabbed her into his arms tightly and kissed her aggressively.

She fought and slapped him but he wouldn't stop until she eventually gave in. She hated him so much, but she couldn't withstand his touch.

He took her to bed, not relenting on the kiss, pulling off her clothes while she tore him off. For a moment, she thought that they were settled. Zach's love language had always been sex. He never really expressed himself to her, he only touched her whenever they got into an argument.

Alina moaned his name endlessly beneath him, she couldn't stop or control herself..

Alina woke up feeling a banging headache, and as she touched Zach's part of the bed, she realized that he wasn't there, only the ruffled bed sheets.

She opened her eyes finally after lazing for a while. Alina stood up and headed towards the window, pulling the curtains open and letting the sun rays hit her already pale face.

Last night was different with Zach, he'd touched her in places that he's never. He took her several times, it almost seemed like it was his last time with her.

Alina couldn't wrap her thoughts around it. How can a man have two women at once? He'd been with Bella previously and now he was still so agile and took her on several sexual rounds.

Her lower back ached a bit so she stretched out a bit. Alina moved towards the wardrobe where she grabbed a random robe and put it on. She didn't realize that it was Zach's until she perceived the fragrance of his natural scent on it.

She sniffed excitedly, grasping his scent in her. Hoping that after last night, things would change between them. She saw passion in his eyes, she couldn't deny that she thought he'd changed.

She looked down on her flat stomach and rubbed it slowly. Truly, if there was a child growing in there, then she had to tell Zach about it. She was a bit positive that everything would change.

When Alina finished washing up, she changed into a short gray dress and had her hair tied in a sleek bun. She heads out of the bedroom, in a bid to search for Zach.

It was as if she knew it, he hadn't left the mansion like he would do on a normal ground. Zach was never someone who'd miss a meeting for anything. She thought he had a reason for being in the mansion at this time of the day.

She stared at the man sitting across the other part of the huge dining room with varieties of meals in front of him. He didn't seem to pay attention to them but to the documents he was holding.

Zachary felt her presence but he never turned, he only kept his focus on what he was reading. Soon, Alina approached him, she placed her hands on his shoulder and kissed his cheek.

"Good morning, Alpha" she greeted him. He'd always wanted her to call him that instead of his name. She seemed to finally want to do things right with him.

She took her seat facing him after he never responded to her greetings. Alina Blamed herself, she clearly saw how busy he was and she still went to bug him.

Alina served the meals, she assumed he'd been waiting for her. She gave him his and served some for herself.

She took a few spoonfuls before she decided to cut the long silence between them..

"Zach, I'll like to speak with you" she said,

He raised a brow at her.

"What is it?" He asked her.

".. it's about what I asked you, yesterday." She said calmly.

"Alina, we had a deal. You cannot have kids for me unless I permit you to" he declared.

"I know, Zach. But it's been years. Can we talk about it already? I want us to settle our differences and live a normal life. You have your responsibilities as the Alpha. And as your Luna, I have mine. Please let me do my part"

"NO!" He yelled out in rage.

"Alina, how many more times do you plan to defy me? Huh?" He questioned her

"Zach... I" she was unable to finish her statement before he cut her off.

"I've given you so many chances to prove to me that you'd changed. But you keep giving me reasons to believe that you only want to keep using me." He stated

"Zach, I'm sorry. Please" she apologized quickly.

"Let's get a divorce, Alina," he said calmly.

Her eyes always plunged out of their sockets, she had them widened in shock as she stared at him. Her mouth was slightly parted for a few minutes before she spoke.

"A- a divorce?" She stuttered confusedly.

Alina, in the next seconds, felt her heart ache and her head spunned. She almost puked but managed to hold back.

"W- why?" She asked him.

"Alina, it's been three years already. And I'm getting tired of your endless rants. I will let you go and be with whoever brings you peace and puts you first like you've always wanted." He said calmly.

"What are you even saying, Zach?" She yelled out, her heart beated faster. It almost felt like she was being stabbed , her legs went numb. Before she could realize what was going on, Zach coughed out blood..

She stared at him with her eyes squinted. "Z... Zach, what have you done?" She questioned him. Realizing that he'd broken their bond.

Zach wiped his bloodied mouth and then he placed the files he was reading earlier in front of her. "Sign these" he said.

"An alimony will be sent to your account immediately you've signed them" he stated.

Just then, a Feminine voice interrupted the whole situation. It was Bella, she came dressed in an elegant blue short skirt with a remarkable slit on the sides and a pink top.

She looked beautiful as always. It was at that moment Alina realized everything. This man divorced her in order to make things official with Bella.

She watched them hold hands as they left the dining room together. Alina passed out right there in the dining room.

Alina stared outside the bedroom window filled with thoughts from the incident earlier. Today, she has the opportunity to become a free woman. Free from Zach's mistreatments and torments.

But then, she was carrying his child. A child he obviously didn't want. She tried to make a decision, she couldn't think of anything. And begging him was way out of the picture.

She's been doing that for years and it never did her any good. But instead, it complicated things the more for her. Zach had broken their bonds because he didn't care at all.

He hurt her so much, he's humiliated her several times as well. Alina felt a Sharp pain in her abdomen and her thoughts immediately went to the doctor's words the previous day.

If she played with her health, she would end up losing the baby. She almost panicked. Even though she was done with Zach, she still wanted to keep their baby.

She immediately dressed up and headed out of the mansion. She didn't go with the driver this time but with a taxi she boarded in the streets.

Alina arrived at the hospital minutes later.

Moments later, Alina heads outside the mansion in company with the doctor as they were both discussing. He educated her on exercises and practices to keep the baby healthy.

He was glad to see her determination to keep the pup alive and healthy..

Alina left the hospital, heading outside the exit when she heard someone call out to her. She recognized his voice even before she looked at him.

It was Mr Rogers, her father's right hand man and Beta. A man who was just like a father to her.

He walked up to her in haste, hoping that she wouldn't run before he caught up.

"Luna Alina, it's a pleasure to find you after all these years," he said, giving a slight bow to her. Alina was stunned and speechless.

She left the pack years ago, how did they find her? She greeted him back but wanted to leave. She already started to live her own life and not the one they'd dictated for her.

Alina didn't want to cause any trouble. But then, a few more guards dressed in black surrounded her.

"Please Luna, give us a chance to speak with you. Your father and the pack need you immediately" he said.

*****************

Alina couldn't help but think about everything she was told earlier by Mr Rogers. If truly her actions almost cost them the pack, then she must go back immediately.

Three years ago after she broke up with Zach and returned home, she insisted on marrying a certain alpha in order to regain the pack's power but she never did because of her love for Zach.

She left the pack and pursued Zach for months before he finally allowed her into his life and they got married. Now, he's seeking a divorce and all her efforts proved futile.

She immediately made a decision, she would definitely allow Zach to have his way this time. She wouldn't chase him anymore. She wasted three years of her life with him which was enough to pay the price of her actions years ago.

The taxi alighted right in front of the mansion and she stepped outside feeling like a new woman. Alina walked into the mansion with only one thing in mind. Signing the divorce documents and moving out.

She did it all in one hour, she didn't pack all of her stuff, she only took the important ones. Alina dragged her luggages downstairs, heading to the dining room where the divorce documents were kept.

She picked up the prepared pen and signed without hesitation. "Alina, you're finally free" she muttered to herself with a huge sigh.

In no time, Mr Rogers arrived, accompanied with a convoy to pick her up. As she dragged her bags outside the mansion, two guards from Mr Rogers came to assist her.

She walked towards the car and got inside. She was a bit exhausted, she had been doing a lot of thinking all-day. The car drove at high-speed heading to the airport since they had to reach the country by tonight.

Throughout the flight, Alina felt sick to her stomach. She naturally didn't like traveling by air, coupled with her pregnancy.

She finished puking for the last time before the airplane landed. She looked at the mirror in front of her and smiled. "Lina, this is going to be the last time anyone would make you feel this way!" She vowed to herself, grabbing her shirt by the chest as it hurts her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At midnight, Alpha Zach arrived at the mansion after having a rough day at the office. For a moment, in his thoughts, he wished he'd listened to Alina and didn't force her to get a divorce. However, he still thinks that she might have stayed back at the mansion.

He walked into the living room which was totally silent. He recalled the times she'd welcome him back and he'd shun her away and brush her off. He wasn't too pleased with himself but this was the same woman who made him look like a fool so many years back.

When he sensed the silence in the atmosphere, he knew that Lina was no longer there. It made him go silent, he was a bit confused. He rushed towards the dining room where he saw the divorce papers. He quickly picked it up to check if she had signed them.

She did, she even put a note inside for him

I do not need your alimony, Zach.

He read inwardly. Zach immediately rubbed his temples. He made his way upstairs trying to find her but he found the room empty and only a few of her clothes were there.

He panicked, rushing outside the bedroom where he came across Mr James, Lina's personal driver. "Where is she? Where is Luna?" He asked immediately, his heart beating fast. He just realized he'd pushed her too much.

The man was a bit confused by his questions because he knew that Lina was in the bedroom earlier after they'd arrived from the hospital.

"Alpha, what's going on?'' the elderly man asked.

"She left, I asked her for a divorce, she signed it and left. I regret it, I really do. I've pushed her too much" he almost cried out but the man reassured him.

He went inside the room to search as well, hoping that it was all a misunderstanding because Alina was carrying his child. This never should've happened.

He came back outside and he picked the divorce documents on the floor and read them. It was all true, she signed them and was nowhere to be found. He didn't see her leaving as well.

"Alpha, you cannot let Luna go. She is carrying your child!" Mr James announced.

Zach was dumbstruck for a few minutes, and his thoughts went back to the previous day when she called him on the phone and he asked her to get rid of any pregnancy she had.

"S... she is pregnant?" He immediately asked, confusedly. "Since when did you find out?''

"Two days ago.. I wanted to tell you, she begged me not to" Mr James explained but Alpha Zach wasn't having it.

"How could you keep this away from me for two days, James?" He growled angrily.

Without wasting any time, Zach grabbed his car keys and left the mansion. He immediately called his Beta to check all of the hotels in the city.

"Alpha, the Luna hasn't checked into any of the hotels" Adolphus called back and explained.

"Find her, close the airports if possible. She mustn't leave the city" he declared.

"Alpha, I'm afraid that will be impossible. I just got some information that she already left the country!"

"W- what?"
