KASSY
“Get out of the way, so we can enter the house.” He said to me with a foul tone. Without giving me time to move away, he shoved me to the other side and entered with Debby.
“Take the dress and try it on in my room. I can't wait to see how you look in it.” He told Debby as he handed the dress over to her.
She took it happily and went straight upstairs.
My Alpha acted like I wasn't there at all. He took his phone out and began fiddling.
I had so much to say, but nothing felt right at that point. It was like anything I would say was going to come out the wrong way, or would simply not be enough to express how I was feeling.
I wanted to find the best way to say what was in my mind and when I finally did….. “How do I look?” Debby came down saying.
She looked so pretty, I could already picture myself on that dress.
“You look beautiful, like a true Beta.” He said to her with his 32 teeths out due to excess grinning.
“Thank you Alpha Gerald.” She replied to him before turning to me with her fake smile. “How do I look, Kassy?” She asked me.
I was too overwhelmed to speak or even more. When I stayed quiet until the next minute, Gerald snapped at once. “Come on! Don't tell me you're jealous and bitter already.” He said to me, rudely.
“Debby has helped my company achieve so much and I am doing it because she deserves it.” He added.
“Today is our anniversary and you always come home with something like this.” I replied to him.
It then dawned on him what today was and I could sense him rethinking. “We are 5 years old today?” He asked.
“We are. But you'd rather spend time with Debby and buy her things than me.” I told him. “Do not mention Debby here. I am the one you're talking to.” He yelled at me to shut me up.
“It's alright Alpha.” She said to him, holding his chest and caressing him softly as though she was the good one. “We all know Kassy here doesn't like me. She thinks I'm the enemy, when I'm not. Why don't I leave you too before I make things worse.” She said, sounding all sympathetic or like she was the victim.
“You are not going anywhere. I brought you here so you could have dinner with me and that is what you will do. “ He said to her.
She smiled softly as she stood by his side.
“Let's go to eat.” He said next as he held her hands and walked away towards the dining.
At this point, I could not believe what was happening before me. I sneaked up to dining’s door to watch them eat and I could see them talking about random things and feeding themselves. No part of their conversation said business.
I could not interfere because if I did, he would just find a way to make me look wrong.
The more I watched them eat the anniversary food that was meant for me and the Alpha, the angrier I became. I really thought I was the love of his life.
I remember how miserable he was when she dumped him. He would go a week without bathing or even eating anything. He was growing lean and the doctors even began complaining that he was killing himself slowly.
I brought back light into his life and took care of him when he had no one and this was his way of saying thank you? Going back to the woman that tossed him away like trash.
It dawned on me what the signs meant. The owner of his heart had returned and there was nothing I could not to stop that.
One thing was certain, I was done taking it and I had to leave.
I just wish I had known earlier, or built this courage sooner. I would not have wasted five years of my life, nurturing something that was never mine.
I went back upstairs to the room and shut the door, dropping my whole weight on the bed as though I was falling from a story building. At this point, I couldn't hold the tears anymore. I closed my eyes and felt the bitter tears as they rolled down my cold cheeks.
I knew I had to leave because I couldn't take it anymore. I called a friend, one who stayed at Jubilee pack. I wanted to ask if I could stay with her for a while, but she didn't pick up the phone.
Soon, she sent a text; [I know why you're calling. You want a place to stay and I will not let you stay with me. I have seen all the drama going on between you and your Alpha on the internet and I think you deserve it. I warned you that that guy was a no good piece of trash, but you didn't listen. Now, you're paying for it.]
As I read this text, I could only cry harder because it was true. She warned me against him, but because of the pressure from my aunty, I had no other choice.
She preached about the good life we could live if I agreed to be his mate so much that I started to believe it and look where it landed me.
There was nowhere to go now, except my aunty's house. Even if I knew she would not be happy to see me, That was the only option.
