Chapter 5
I slept alone that night because Blake didn’t return home. When he saw that I didn’t
follow his instructions to act as Hailey’s servant, he stopped answering my
mindlinks and blocked me on Facebook
and all social media.
I decided to ignore him too and made my way to my father’s house to pack my remaining stuff from there.
I didn’t know what Blake had said to my father to make him so angry. When I climbed out of the taxi, I saw him walking towards me.
He scanned the area for Blake. When he realized that I was alone, his expression changed as a scowl appeared on his face.
He shouldn’t have cared about Blake
because Blake would never visit his home ever again.
He always thought that we were too low

class to be his concern.

Dad stopped in front of me as he asked in a stern voice, “Are you and Blake back together?”
“No, we’re never getting back together.” I muttered in a firm voice.
After I said those words, my father threw a kick at my calf, making me groan and wince in pain as I squatted down and held conto my leg.
He looked like he didn’t have enough, and pushed me, making me fall to the ground.
“Shift!” He growled at me and shifted into his wolf form.
I had no choice, but to shift.
He opened his mouth wide and clamped his sharp teeth around my neck. He always did this as a punishment whenever I had angered him.
I let him do it since he was my father. Besides, it would be hard to fight him off

since he was bigger and stronger even though I had werewolf powers unlike him.
The pack members around us stared and pointed at us.
After doing that for a while, he let go and aimed for my shoulder. He bit down hard, making me groan in pain.
He has never bitten before, and I knew that he was very angry to have bitten me.
As he pulled away, I heard his mindlink as he said, “You‘ re a disgrace.”
I felt tears brim in my eyes and felt my tummy tighten in pain at his words and
actions.
He head butted me, making me skid across the ground and stop a few feet away from
him.
He walked over to me as he shifted back to
his human form.
I stayed in wolf form as I waited for the bite wound to heal since we healed faster in

wolf form.
He pointed fingers at me as he growled, “I learnt what happened from Blake. Don’t you know that getting a he–wolf like him to want you as his mate is good karma that takes thousands of years to earn, yet you couldn’t get him stay with you? Envious, lazy and acting like a whore, you’re worse than a disgrace!”
“I’ll tell you this, you better try whatever you can to get Blake to mark you whether it’s by treating him like he means the world to you or acting as his maid or I’ll disown you!” He yelled as he glared at me.
I shifted back to my human form as my wound has healed, but I was still weak and it was from his words, not from his
punishment.
Tears dripped down my cheeks as I
remained speechless.
My father only stopped hurling insults at me when snow started falling from the sky.

He turned around and made his way to the house. I followed him, but turned back around when he heard my footsteps.
A growl rumbled from my father’s throat, threatening me to stay away.
He then turned back around and went inside then locked the door.
I stared at the door as I thought of how to fix the situation.
A few minutes later, he unlocked the door, opened it and pushed my stuff out onto the porch; a box of books and awards, a traveling bag and a small suitcase then kicked them off the porch.
“Leave this instant! I would never accept you back unless you get back together with Blake!” He growled at me.
He threw one of my accounting textbooks at me and it slammed against my stomach, making me couch loudly as I held onto my
tummy.

He turned around and slammed the door
shut.
I squatted down and grabbed the textbook then placed it in the box of books. I checked the stuff inside the book as I wanted to save my past experiences.
Suddenly, a new model Mustang stopped in front of of our lawn and the driver’s seat door opened. Blake climbed out with a small, black blanket in his hand.
He walked over to me and caught my arm then dragged me to his car as I struggled against him.
He glanced me as he muttered, “About time you learned, Amber! I’m the only he- wolf that will take you as a mate. So stop being stubborn and come back to the house with me. Repent the right way to Hailey and I will mark you.”
He wrapped the blanket around me and I saw its tag with the a brand name on it, [Hailey.]

She must have had them made for her like that so that people would think that she was a fashion designer.
I didn’t answer Blake, I just stared at the road ahead through the windshield as I thought about my father’s harsh words. Pain and sadness enveloped me.
I used to take Blake as my rock and would go to him whenever I was in distress and tell him all that was bothering me.
However, he had exploited my vulnerabilities.
He was never my safe haven and he didn’t deserve my heart. Leaving him was the first step towards reclaiming my life.
As I continued pondering on my love life, Blake’s phone beeped, indicating a message coming through. He checked it and as he started typing, the phone started ringing.
“Where are you? All the pack members at the pack office are eager for your arrival,

Alpha Blake.”
With my heightened werewolf hearing, I heard a she–wolf’s voice say as soon as he answered the call.
She added, “They’re mocking me and talking about how the pack company’s Gala party can’t have only the Alpha’s mate coming to the party when the Alpha isn’t even present. I don’t even have anymore. excuses to give.”
Blake glanced at me as his face slipped into a cold mask. He stayed silent for a few seconds as if thinking it over.
It looked like he wanted to leave me to go to the pack company’s Gala, but he seemed to have a change of heart as he sighed and asked me, “Come with me to our pack company’s Gala party. You agree, right?”
Blake has never let me attend the pack company’s Gala party or any event that the company was hosting before even when I

was working at the company.
He said that he didn’t want any he–wolf to get any ideas when he sees me at a party. even though it was a formal party.
I caressed my shoulder where my father had bitten me, realizing that it wasn’t hurting anymore, I nodded steadily and I replied, “Sure.”
