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?"

♥ 5 Years Later ♥.

It wasn't the way the office buzzed with people trying to make sure things were set for the board meeting later. Left for Zach, he would skip the whole thing and go sign attendance in some local bar. He loved spending time there these days instead of attending to the affairs of the office.

Who could blame him? He was a lost man.

He had no idea where Alina was and the worst part was that she was with his child. Each day that passed by, Zach was more frustrated than ever and he took that out on everyone around him.

In the past years, he had become way more ruthless and careless to the mix.

"It's time for the meeting sir." His secretary said,

Zach glared hard at her as he stood up, straightening his jacket and following her out. He didn't want to be present for this board meeting. Heck. He didn't even like going for board meetings but James had been able to convince him that the collaboration with this pack would be good for the pack.

In the end, despite whatever he was going through, he was an Alpha and had to act like one.

When they arrived at the company, Zach walked into it like he owned the place. He looked around, taking in every detail of the place when something hit him on the leg.

He looked down to see it was a red balloon ball. Zach frowned slightly, picking it up. Just then a little boy dressed in a school uniform ran to him, stopping right in front of him.

"What?." Zach asked, his frown still in place. He had never been around children and didn't know how to act or what to say to the child.

The child pointed at the balloon. "It's mine." The boy said.

Zach looked at the boy, a crease forming on his forehead. He shuddered uneasily when he realized the boy had his eyes. There was no mistaking it.

"Here." He said handing it over to the boy. "And where's your mother? Surely this isn't the place for a child to be in." Zach snapped, annoyed that a woman had left her son in her place of work.

The boy shook his head, springing to the defense of his mother. "My mum works here. She's quite known too. Soon she'll be out and we'll leave." He replied with a smile on his face as he kicked the ball elsewhere.

Zach was about to ask him further questions when a woman walked up to him with a fixed smile in place.

"Luna will see you now. Everyone's waiting." She said leading Zach.

Alina chewed on her pen in her office as she thought of ways she could excuse herself out of the board meeting and go attend to her five year old son. A knock on her office door brought her out of her thoughts as she turned her seat to find her secretary and Beta Carl standing in her office.

"Thank goodness you're here Carl. I was going to tell you I can't make the board meeting. Roy's out of school so early and I can't leave him by himself." Alina said, gathering her things as she prepared to leave.

"No Luna. You can't leave. This meeting is really important." Carl replied, stopping Alina. " And you don't have to worry about Roy. He's in the lobby playing. I brought him straight from school here because I thought you'd want to have him closer." He quickly added.

Alina breathed out a sigh of relief, sinking back into her chair. She was grateful that Roy was close by but somehow it irked her that she couldn't ditch the damn board meeting.

"What's with the clients we're having today? I've seen everyone on edge and I'm really wondering why because if anything, we should be quite confident." Alina said .

Carl nodded his head, straightening his suit. "Yeah. I looked them up and well if we were to match them as a competitor, we'd be going with one as strong as ours." He replied.

Alina leaned into her chair, swaying from side to side. "And you don't find it suspicious that they want to be in business with us? Instead of taking us down and taking all the profit?" She countered.

A woman walked in suddenly into Alina's office.

"Luna. The clients are here. Everyone's waiting for you in the boardroom." She said,

Alina shook her hand at her, signaling her to leave as she left. She looked into Carl's eyes, sighing deeply. She didn't know why but she wasn't comfortable with whomever these clients were. A lot of companies which came to her company to collaborate usually did so because they were in dying need of a profit.

"Let's go." She said to Carl, leading the way to the board room.

Alina walked with confidence into the boardroom, taking a seat comfortably as she looked at everyone in the boardroom all seated.

"Good day gentlemen and ladies." Alina said. She was about to continue when she noticed an empty seat.

"Are we expecting anyone?." She asked, looking at Carl.

Her question was answered as someone walked into the boardroom, walking straight to the empty seat and sitting down.

Alina felt her breath seize as her heart pounded frantically in her chest. It couldn't be. She could not believe this was real. It was him and damn him because her heart had skipped a beat the way it used to at just seeing him again.

Their eyes collided and Alina smirked as his mouth opened in shock.

"I guess that answers my question. Welcome Alpha Zach. You're just in time for the presentation." Alina said with a smile as she stood up.

Carl's questioning eyes didn't go unnoticed by her but Alina pretended not to see it.

Immediately after the presentation, Alina was pleased there had been no delegation and everyone had agreed. She was about to leave the board room and as she passed by Zach he stood up, holding her wrist.

"Let me go." Alina gritted out, taking her hand out of Zach's hold and leaving. She was able to take the elevator, making Zach use the stairs as he ran after her.

Alina got to the lobby, looking around for Roy but could not find him. She walked up to the receptionist.

"Where's Roy? He was meant to be here at the lobby." She said, her eyes already going crazy.

"Luna.." the receptionist started but Alina wasn't interested in anything she had to say as she walked outside, hoping he was playing outside.

Alina walked out to see Roy being hauled into a van.

"Roy!." Alina yelled out, her heart pounding frantically in her chest.

She quickly walked back into the lobby to get her car keys when she bumped into Zach.

"Alina please..."

"Zach please not now. Give me your car keys." Alina said sharply.

"What?." Zach asked, confused.

"Your keys! They are taking my son! I have to save him!." Alina yelled out, tears springing to her eyes as she sighted Carl who broke into a race to meet her.

"What do you mean..." Zach started out.

"You heard me. My son was just kidnapped! Our son!." She yelled out.

Zach took hold of her running to where his car was parked as they both got in, driving after the kidnappers.
