CHAPTER SIX
1666 Words
URIEl’s POV.
I don’t know how long I have walked until I come to a halt and I discover that I have come to the highway. It is a long way from the pack house but I didn’t even care. The pain was too much for me to bear, breaking our bond in front of everyone like that, hurting me and calling me all kinds of things. I would never be able to forgive that, forgive the fact that he embarrassed me and cheated on me when the only thing I have ever done was love him like no one had ever done in their lives.
A tear trickles down my face, then another and another until I was crying on the streets of New York like a f*****g mad woman. Some passersby were looking at me, wondering what was going on with me. I wish I could change everything, I wish I could go back to the first time I met him and just walk away. I was carrying his child but he felt more comfortable f*****g my step mom and just….
A car pulled up in front of me and a familiar figure climbed out. I remember his face, he is Damon’s assistant. I have seen them together a few times but why? Why is he here though?
“Ma’am” his voice floated across to me as he covered the distance between us, “I have come to take you”
“What do you mean?”
“Mr Damon said to bring you home”
At the mention of Damon’s name, my face changed. What the heck is going on with him? Why was he behaving like we have been friends from the onset? It was even disgusting to think about.
“I am not interested! Leave me alone”
“I am sorry but he asked me not to return without you ma’am. You are pregnant and you don’t need any kind of stress. Please, let me take you”
“Did Felix ask him to do that?” I don’t know why I asked that lame question. Why would Felix ask him to do that? Why would he care about me when he had rejected me in front of everyone?
“He didn’t give me details ma’am but maybe you can ask him when you see him”
I would have refused again but my legs hurt; I have walked for a while now and I genuinely needed a lot of rest. I may hate Damon but right now I need to keep my hate aside.
“So shall we?”
After a while I modded, I couldn't lie to myself. My body was already weak and I needed to rejuvenate. My father’s death, finding out my husband cheated on me with my step mother coupled with the fact that my work was at stake, a whole lot was going on in my head and I needed to think. I would only be able to come up with something if I could think properly. That’s why I decided to follow him, just for now.
In no time, the maybach zooms off the road towards the Hyatt regency, where Damon lived.
An hour later, he pulled up in front of the house and one of his bodyguards quickly opened the door for me and I stepped out. Damon was a rogue alpha, an outlaw as others would call him. When he was twenty years old, he had massacred his entire clan and his father banished him from the pack, he went into the wild and formed a pack of his own. If Felix’s pack was dangerous, then Damon was the king of that. He had all kinds of wolves in his pack and for the record, I have never liked any of them. They all creeped me out most especially Damon.
He was over 6ft3, body built like a Greek god and a lethal face. Sharp jawline that felt would nick if I touched them, his blue eyes sharp and piercing. He always looked like he was staring deep into someone’s soul. He was much more handsome than Felix and also more wicked. The main reason why I hate him is because he is a rogue and he changed women like clothes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who led my husband into that kind of life.
Now here I was standing in his house, my eyes looking around. I have never understood the design of this house but it was really magnificent. Damon was into tech so I could understand the complexities that came with it…nonetheless, it was as beautiful as the word itself.
I looked up and saw a lady hurrying towards me, a smile on her lips. She somehow reminded me of Rossie but I immediately slammed that box close.
“Welcome ma’am” she bowed lightly, “Mr Damon told us you were coming. Please come on in”
I had a lot of questions but I didn’t say a word as I smiled back at her and followed her into the house. Damon would be the one to answer my questions because how was he so sure that I would agree to come with his assistant? Was he and Felix in on this together? Were they planning something? I just couldn’t wrap my head around anything at this moment and it was so annoying that I wanted to lose my f*****g mind.
“Welcome to Hyatt regency, ma’am” the lady said again as we made our way deeper into the house, my eyes scanning everything and everywhere, “you can call me grace” she further announced, “I am Mr Damon’s butler and I am going to be responsible for you from today. We have already prepared a room for you, you should shower and come down for food”
“Did you know I was coming?” I couldn’t help but ask and she nodded.
“The boss informed us,” the butler answered.
I didn’t say anything again and just followed her to her room. The only person I am waiting for now is Damon. He is the only one who can explain everything that’s happening to me. Right now I just need to rest my head because it is banging so hard.
After she showed me my room and left, I slumped on the bed and closed my eyes. No matter how hard I tried not to think about everything that has happened, I couldn’t. I couldn’t get over the fact that Felix could do this to me after eight years of being together, eight years of loving him and caring for him. Tears welled up in my eyes, I couldn’t even think properly. I loved him, I loved him so much and it hurts. It hurts that he chose to do this to me.
“You are pregnant” my wolf told me, “you do not need to cry for someone like him” she was hurt too, i could feel it from her voice but she was trying to be strong for me, the mere thought of it sent tears to my eyes again.
I was not sure how long I laid there until I heard a knock on my door and I pulled my eyes open before pushing myself to a sitting position.
The knock came again before the door opened up and he appeared at the door. He must have been back for a while now seeing how his hair is damp. I didn’t even hear him come home, I must have really been in thought.
“Hey you!” His deep baritone filtered through but he didn’t step into the room, he only remained at the door, “Grace said you didn’t come down for some food so I came to check on you. Looks like you have been sleeping?”
“What’s your plan, Damon?” I immediately asked him, I refused to believe he was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, “tell me, what's going on?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why do you have me in your house?”
“Would you rather I left you on the streets?”
I scoffed, he must think of me as a fool after everything that I have seen with my own eyes, he was worse than Felix.
“Did Felix put you up to this?”
“Do you think he cares about you?” He sounded a bit frustrated.
“So why? What’s your reason?”
Damon finally stepped into the room and my eyes traveled over him. He is wearing a pair of joggers and a shirt, different from his usual office clothes and he looked kind of different.
“Look Uriel” he continued talking, “I have an offer for you”
The frown on my face intensified, what the hell was he talking about now?
“What do you mean?”
“Marry me!” He blurted and for a moment, I continued looking at him trying to understand what he was trying to say.
“What?”
“Marry me, Uriel” he blurted again and I started to laugh, this was the most hilarious thing I have heard in a long time.
“You have really become a joker, right!”
“I am serious, Uriel” he said again, this time in a more serious tone and the laughter on my lips died off. He was being serious, he meant it.
“Damon, you…
“You don’t have to give me an answer now” he interrupted me again, “you can after your divorce is finalized. For now you can stay here until it is done. I will ask Grace to bring your food up”
Then he turned around and walked out of the room like he was never here. What the actual f**k?!
