Freya

"What is wrong with you! I almost went deaf from the sound!" Mia scolded and I bowed my head immediately.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered and Alpha Jasper glared at me.

"It was a silly mistake, please forgive her." He whispered, pressing a kiss to her cheek and she broke into a smile.

"Babe. Would you please get the special pastry I like? It's been a while since I had any." Mia muttered, fluttering her lashes and he bolted to his feet immediately.

"Anything you want, consider it done."

"But. Alpha, you have a meeting in ten minutes?"

"Push it back till afternoon or schedule it for tomorrow." He instructed and my eyes almost popped out with shock.

"But. I can get the pastry."

"No, Mia's needs are too important for you to handle. Push back the meeting and attend to Mia, provide her with everything she needs." He instructed and I nodded.

"Thank you so much babe. I'll see you later." She whispered as they exchanged a kiss.

I bowed as I watched him leave and turning around to leave, her cold voice rang out.

"Where the fuck do you think you're heading to?" She demanded.

"I. I wanna reschedule the meeting."

"Do not speak until I ask you to speak to, worthless secretary!" She thundered and I bowed my head.

"Now pick up that mess you made."

"But. I need a broom."

"Nope, with your hands. I'll teach you how to value things in this office, do you know how much the mugs cost? Wretched things like you don't value what you can't afford." She insulted and I swallowed the pain numbing at my heart as I bent and began picking up the shredded mug.

"Ouch!" I winced as I felt a sharp pain on my palm, I looked up at her to see a satisfied smirk, I took everything in stride.

"Make me another coffee, no sugar, no ice." She instructed and I nodded.

"When I speak with you, you fucking address me as ma'am, I will be your Luna soon so you better learn some manners!" She warned.

"Yes ma'am." I whispered as my eyes watered. I dashed out as the tears followed freely.

"Freya. Are you okay?"

"Your hand is bleeding."

"How could she make you pick up glasses with your hand?"

"I'm so sorry." My colleagues muttered as they stared at me with pity and I forced a smile.

"It's nothing."

"Unfortunately nobody can go against the Alpha or Mia. She's the daughter of the gamma and ever since she became the alpha's mate, nobody has ever been able to touch her." They explained and I nodded.

"It's fine." I replied as I dumped the glass in a bin and grabbed some wipes.

After wrapping my hand properly, I headed into the coffee room where I made her coffee in five minutes.

It was steaming hot and I prayed mentally for the goddess to keep her in check.

"Come in." She snapped after I knocked on the door.

"What took you so long?"

"I'm sorry. I had to clean the wound."

"So you wrapped up your hand in order to trick Jasper? You want Jasper to think you're injured and feel pity for you? Hell no, take it off now!" She snapped and I nodded without a word.

"This is awful! You're just useless!" She yelled as she howled the hot coffee on me and I winced as I stepped back, fanning my scalded wrist.

"What's going on here?" Jasper's voice rang out and she bolted to his side immediately.

"She brought hot coffee, it was scalding. I made it clear that I wanted coffee with ice but I don't understand why she brought the wrong one."

"What is wrong with you! What's so hard about making coffee? Are you trying to injure her?" He bellowed and I bowed my head, biting back tears as I tried not to make a sound.

"Apologize to her now!" He ordered and I nodded.

"I'm. I'm sorry." I whispered and she flashed a smile.

"It's fine. I just hope you won't make the same mistake again. I have no reason to be angry, it's just one mistake and you've been working beside Jasper for years, it shows how competent you are." She replied and he grabbed her hand, kissing them softly.

"I'm glad you're not injured. You're the most important thing to me right now, even the pack comes after you. You're my priceless jewel and I'd do anything just to protect you." He whispered and she cupped his face.

"I love you so much. I'm sorry for leaving the pack initially. it was."

"It's fine, you're back to me and that's the most important thing, nothing matters in this world." He replied and she turned to me.

"You can leave." I nodded immediately and dashed towards the bathroom, unable to keep the tears in check.

"Why? After all these years. I stayed by your side and helped you overcome your grief." I whispered softly and my eyes widened when Mia walked inside, a satisfied smirk on her face.

"Because you're nothing but a low-life who is unworthy of him. He's the Alpha, an omega like you shouldn't be working beside him. You should be working as a maid in the pack house or for me." She replied and I wiped my tears.

"What do you want?" I demanded staring at her intently and she chuckled for a moment.

"I want to put you in your place and make things clear to you. I left Jasper for a few years but I can assure you that even if I leave today, you won't be my replacement, you can give him your body but his heart will always be mine. His heart has always been mine and it'll be mine forever." She had a smirk on her face and I fisted my hands, trying to calm myself down.

"Please leave."

"My birthday is coming and you're going to plan the party according to my taste." She asserted with pride and I shook my head.

"Jasper is waiting for you, he's going to give you a list of everything I want and my birthday is in two days time so you better hurry your ass." She continued as she walked out, leaving me stunned.

I placed a hand on my pounding heart, trying to stop the pain from spreading round my body although it was furtive.

I had hoped for years, I thought it was finally my chance but it seems like the goddess has other plans.

Freya

"These are roses! I specifically asked for tulips!" Mia snapped as she stared at the flowers and I exhaled deeply.

"Roses were."

"How dare you talk back to me!" She snapped and Jasper stepped forward, staring at me with anger.

"I ask you to organize one small party and you mess up something as important as this? Get tulips right away and dumb those roses!" He ordered and my eyes widened in shock.

"Alpha. I can't."

"Anything Mia wants, she must have it! Get tulips now and you better get this place ready before the guests start arriving!" He ordered and turned around while jis flashed me a proud smirk.

I was drained, planning such a huge party in two days was nothing but hell and goddess knew my patience was wearing out.

Hurrying out, I dashed away to the flower shop. Arriving there, I was stunned to hear that tulips weren't in season.

I grabbed my phone and placed a call to the Alpha immediately. "Alpha."

"What do you want, you bitch?" Mia demanded and I bit back the words that were on my lips.

"Please give the phone to the Alpha, I need to tell him about the flowers."

"Babe! You have a call from Freya, should I bring your phone over?" She yelled.

"No, whatever she has to say is just a lame excuse as to why she can't do her job diligently. What matters the most now is your happiness, Frey isn't important." He replied back and my heart tightened as the phone fell out of my hand.

My hands trembled in shock and without a word, I returned back to the pack house where I continued checking if everything was perfect.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I held them back. "You should never have loved him." My wolf whispered and I sniffed, trying to hold everything back.

"I was a fool. I thought maybe he would return the feelings." I whispered to my wolf.

The party was properly organized at the hotel hall and an hour later, guests began arriving while my shoulders were slumped due to lack of sleep and exhaustion.

I was like a moving zombie and I couldn't wait for Mia's arrival so I'd make my way home and do what I haven't been changed to do in two days, sleep.

"Wow. Isn't that Mia?"

"They look perfect together."

"I heard he asked for those diamonds to be made specially."

"She's looking so gorgeous, the alpha is a man every lady would be dying to have."

"I'm so jealous of her! She got herself the perfect man." Several gasps rang out as she walked in, decked in a beautiful off-shoulder ball gown with a crown. She was wearing a Diamond necklace with matching earrings and everyone stared at her with delight.

She had a huge smile as she and Jasper made their way to the special seat reserved for her.

"Find a juice over for Mia, she's thirsty." Alpha a Jasper mindlinked, it was his first time ever doing such and I was left in a daze.

I went over with an orange juice, ready to leave immediately. "I left my purse upstairs, go pick it up."

She ordered and I nodded, sighing heavily.

I made my way upstairs, walking as fast as my weak legs could go. I pushed the room open and grabbed the purse, breathing heavily as I returned to the hall.

I was sweating profusely and with a bow, I placed the purse on the table.

"Where are you going? You arranged this event, you should be here." Alpha Jasper announced.

"I'm. I haven't rested in two days, Alpha." I murmured and Mia frowned.

"But what if I need something?" Mia whispered as she pressed her body to him.

"Stay for a few hours, you can take a full day off after this party. Today has to be perfect for Mia." He replied coldly as he pulled her hand, kissing it softly.

I nodded and walked away, unable to continue watching them. I felt like puking and my head ached. Seeing them only twisted my already wounded heart and I just wanted to be as far away as possible.

Alpha Jasper grabbed a glass and hit it softly with a spoon, trying to get the attention of everyone.

"I have an announcement to make!" He muttered and the once noisy room turned silent.

"First. I'd like to thank Mia for coming into my life, she has brought nothing but happiness to me. Ever since Mia left I've been devastated and although I tried finding a replacement but I've come to accept that Mia is the only one I can love, this is why the goddess made us mates." I couldn't believe Alpha Jasper, a man who rarely spoke words in business, was saying this in front of hundreds of pack members.

"And with this, I'd like to announce Mia as my Luna. Mia, you complete my soul. I, Alpha Jasper of the Ravenclaw pack accept you, Mia as my mate." He announced and gasps rang out, my eyes almost popped out with shock.

He was accepting her. I couldn't believe this and my eyes watered instantly as my heart pounded heavily.

"I accept you too, Alpha." She replied and he carried her in his arms, kissing her as they twirled around. People began congratulating them but my knees bucked.

I couldn't believe it, I was in a daze and without a word, I began heading outside, shaking my head as I mumbled "no" to myself.

I couldn't stay anymore, it's high time I quit my job and stop hoping for the impossible. I wouldn't be able to take the pain. I planned her engagement. Maybe it's for the best if I leave the pack and never return, maybe the ground could lighten my pain and swallow me up.

"Stop you thief!" Two guards growled as they blocked my path and I scoffed, trying to break free.

"She's the only one who touched my purse, search her!" Mia squealed and it was then I realized she had accused me and people were staring at me with disgust because I had been running.

"Search her thoroughly and if you find it, punish her!" Alpha Jasper ordered coldly, his eyes cold as usual but slightly worse than before.

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.
