Chapter 8 Out of here

Trevor pov

Life had become monotonous ever since I was denounced from the alpha position. I was used to taking care of the whole pack in addition to the business I started. Now, the only work I had to take care of was the guest house I built and it's business.

No more training or dealing with the pack affairs. I missed doing the work I loved. Another thing I noticed was that I have lost friends. Everyone wanted to be my friend or someone close when I had the power. But after I lost my wolf and hence the alpha position, literally no one checked on me.

Alan is too busy to keep in contact. Even Tina seemed to have grown distant. I understand that she had been recently hired as a secretary in the pack office and most probably was busy since she was newly hired. So I had been trying to ignore it. However, as days passed by, I started to find it extremely hard to pretend that nothing was wrong.

She spends long hours outside and comes home to sleep. She doesn't even try to get close to me anymore. She simply ignores me. There were times I had a hunch that she might be seeing someone else, but there was no way I could know for sure. Ever since Boone had gone dormant, I had lost my werewolf senses. I couldn't catch various scents like I used to. I kept telling myself that I was mistaken, hoping that my gut feeling was wrong.

I spent most of my time in my house. The only time I went out was when I had to check on my guest house. Thankfully, the business was good. Yet I missed my original workload. I knew that there wasn't much a human could do to help in a werewolf pack so I didn't try to meddle in their work.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the door to the room slam shut. I was having my morning coffee in the kitchen and left Tina to catch up on sleep since I woke up earlier than usual.

I smiled as I looked in the direction of my room. Tina must have gotten up to go to work. She had recently got a job in the pack office and I couldn't have been more proud of her. I was about to bid her goodbye, however, my eyes popped out of my sockets when I saw what she was wearing.

She pulled down the skimpy black skirt that barely covered her ass. Her top hugged her torso like a second skin. What irked me was, her top barely covered her chest. Most of the two bouncy balloons on her chest were outside. I gaped at her speechless. She was without a doubt dressed to turn heads in her direction. Her painted red lips were pursed as usual as she walked down the stairs. Her curled hair bounced as she descended the stairs.

I couldn't take my eyes off her as she walked towards the exit. What was she doing? She couldn't be going to work dressed like that!

"Where are you going?" I blurted out. She gave me a bored glance and then rolled her eyes as though she was uninterested in me.

She didn't say anything. She picked her long coat from the coat hanger and wore it over the skimpy clothes she wore underneath.

Well, that made it a little better. Yet, I couldn't understand why she would wear such clothes to work.

"Tina! I am talking!" I demanded feeling agitated. When she didn't reply, I dashed towards her and grabbed her arm. What I received was an angry stare. She coldly glanced at my hand and then at my face.

"Let me go!" She hissed. "Don't you know that I'm getting late already?" Her eyes were full of fury.

"I need to know why you are dressed like that…. You can't dress like a stripper and go to work." I tried to speak and knock some sense into her. However, I don't think it worked. She smirked and peeled my fingers off her arm.

"It is none of your business, Trevor." She snickered.

"Why not?" I felt my face heat up.

"I'm not your mate for you to have a say about what I do in my life." Her smirk taunted me.

My forehead wrinkled as my lips parted. I couldn't believe my ears. Is this the same Tina who vowed to be by my side at all times?

"But… I...we…"

"I'm not Natalie. I'm not your mate. You didn't mark me and now you can't do that." She hissed.

I was dumbfounded. I felt as though her eyes drilled holes in me. I had never seen Tina like this in the past.

"Now if you don't let me go, I'll break your arms. I am stronger than you now," she chuckled and took a step back. Stupefied I stared as she walked out and closed the door behind her. I couldn't move for a moment. She wasn't the kind of person I thought she was. She used me. Boone was right. She wanted nothing but power and fame.

My chest constricted when I realised that I had messed up. I had the perfect one for me the whole time. Natalie, my mate and I had lost her. I lost her because of my stupidity. Boone was right the whole time. It was my fault that she left. I had gone as far as planning to kill her. She must have heard me.

A sharp pain in my chest made me clutch my shirt. Panting, I limped over to the couch and slumped onto it.

"Nat…." I breathed out as I massaged my chest. "Boone…."

I shook my head. I had foolishly let go of the closest ones to me and for who? A slut who had lured me into her poisonous trap. I wish my parents were still alive. They would know how to comfort me. I may have to face a scolding and a few rounds of retribution, but still, they would be there for me. Now, I was alone.

Alan was the closest after them. But he was too occupied with the pack work. And it is understandable. It demands a lot of your time. But I can go to see him, right? It has been quite some time since we last saw each other. Perhaps sharing my plight with him would ease my pain.

I took my coat and walked towards the office which was a short distance away. The pack members were courteous enough to greet me. Smiling, I nodded my head at them and walked towards the reception.

"Is he inside?" I asked.

She reluctantly nodded, while smiling anxiously.

"Is he in a meeting?" I asked, frowning.

"No, sir. But he may be in a discussion with his secretary." She told me.

I sucked in a sharp breath. So Tina must be inside. I didn't know why, but I had a bad feeling about it.

"I'll just knock…"

Without waiting for an answer, I walked towards the alpha's office. My heart thudded in my chest as I held the doorknob. I didn't want to, yet I couldn't stop myself from being suspicious about Tina and Alan.

Her skimpy clothes, her distance from me and him being the alpha now made me concerned. I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, hoping it would calm my racing heart and opened the door.

What I saw made me freeze at the doorway. Tina was in his arms. She had her eyes closed as he kissed her neck. Her boobs were hanging out of her top. One of his hands were inside her skirt and I didn't want to think of what he was doing with his fingers.

My rage skyrocketed. My fingers tightened around the doorknob and I gritted my teeth. These two idiots were so immersed in the dirty deed that they hadn't noticed that I had entered the office, despite being wolves.

"What the fuck are you doing!" I growled.

Startled, Tina hurried to adjust her clothes while Alan glared at me angrily.

"What the fuck are you doing in my office, without my permission!" He retorted.

"I came here to see my best friend. But what I see is two traitors!" My face heated up in fury. My eye focused on Tina, the one who had promised that she loved me more than my fated mate.

"How could you do this to me?" I asked, clenching my jaws.

"Just like how you did this to Natalie. Have you forgotten that you cheated on her for sex?" She smirked.

Alan glanced at her and then at me.

"You have had enough fun with my mate. Now you can't touch her."

His statement came as a shock. His mate? I stared wide-eyed as he snaked his arm around her waist and knead her breast as though he was mocking me.

"This is mine…" he hissed. "You have had enough…"

All I could do was stare, flabbergasted. She had lied! She told me that she had rejected her mate! My breathing was uneven. Their gazes never left mine. He lowered his head onto the crook of her neck and licked her marking spot, making her let out a throaty moan.

"But… why?" I stammered.

They looked at each other and started to laugh.

"Fool! It was our plan in the first place. Seduce you, get rid of Nat and then once I'm the luna kill you off. But our work became a million times easier when Nat and Boone left. It's like the trash took itself out." Tina told me through her snickers.

"We were going to kill you, but we won't now. You are just a human. What can you possibly do against us," Alan laughed.

Tina started to grind herself against Alan.

"Can't we just finish what we started? I need you, now…" she whimpered as she unbuttoned his shirt.

I stepped away. I had no desire to watch what they were up to.

They were right. I was powerless against them. A weak human. I wouldn't be able to fight them even in their human forms.

I ran back to my home. I spent the whole day in my house, cursing myself. It was my fault. All my fault. Night fell. Tina didn't return. I didn't even want her to. An uncomfortable chill ran down my spine when I remembered that they planned to kill me.

My heart raced. They could kill me anytime. I couldn't trust them. I should run. It isn't safe for me here anymore.

I peeked out of my main door and rushed towards my car. I took a few of my clothes and some money with me. Without waiting for a moment more, I dashed out of the house and raced towards the highway that would lead me out of the pack territory.

Goodbye, everyone. I'm out of here.
