Arranged To The Alpha
Chapter 55

Natalia:

I cried my eyes out as I watched Blake run out of the room, and it wasn’t until I saw my b***d on my shoulder.

My hands shook and shaking my head, I got up from bed and wiped my tears. My heart aching at the fact that I was being treated the way that I was.

I knew that I did not deserve it, but one way or the óther, I often felt threatened, compared, and considered less as a mate than his first mate ever was.

And the thing was, I knew that opening up about it should have cleared things, at least, helped us solve something, but it seemed to only drive us apart whenever I did try to do so. However, this was the last straw for me. Whatever it was that he was dealing with, he had no right to think that it was okay to break me the way that he just did, and that was something that I was not going to let slide.

Therefore, walking to the bathroom, my b***d dripped on the tile floor, but I didn’t care. I knew that he lost control of his anger and that he would have never hurt me, not intentionally at least, but I still did not care. I really had zero tolerance or patience at this point, and seeing as I meant nothing to him compared to her, then why the f*****g hell was I still here?

My arm ached, and I knew that I had to get it cleaned before covering it to shower. I was going to leave tonight, and he could find some f****d up bitch to mess with while I was gone, I didn’t care anymore. Our mating bond did not matter to him anymore thạn I did, and that was something that I was not going to try fixing anymore. I was tired of tying to do so.

I opened the cabinet to pull out the first-aid kit, and pulling the sanitizer out, I bit my bottom l*p before pouring it over the wound, crying out in pain as I did before the burning sensation died down. My heart raced, and my hand shook, but fighting that, I still pulled out a bandage and put it on it, making sure that it was waterproof for me to be able to shower.

I ran my finger over the edges, making sure that they were sealed before getting inside the shower, ignoring the b***d that was on the floor, not that it made any difference at this point, I was going to be out of here in less than a few minutes, and out of everyone’s lives. They could find their way to get to me, but I would not be allowing them to approach, not this time.

“You are going to regret this, Alpha Blake” I whispered to myself in the shower as the warm water hit my body. My muscles ached, and I hated the fact that I knew that we fought right after we had s*x. S*x that he grew used to having with me to simply forget his mate. Using me to do so.

“I give you my f*****g word, you are going to regret this” My heart raced as I entered my office, knowing that the whole family was searching for me. They have been trying to reach me since Blake probably arrived home last night and found that I was not there. My wedding ring was placed on the dresser along with a paper that said that I would be sending him the divorce papers with my lawyer.

He married me by sending his best friend who he had claimed was his lawyer; therefore, I was going to be the one to end this.

“Kylie, please get me something to eat and drink, we are going to have a lot to do today, and I do not want us wasting any time” I said and she nodded, heading toward the canteen as I walked into my office, sitting on my desk as I opened my laptop. My hand shook as I tried typing the password, but

I didn’t care at this point. I had work to do and the last thing I needed now was to worry about childish emotions like this one.

I took a deep breath before pressing the password’s code, watching as Kylie entered the office with a tray of coffee and food in her hands.

Her eyes met mine as she set them on the desk in front of me, and nodding at her in thanks, I started checking my emails without saying a word. My shoulder aching with each move I made, but I chose to ignore it as I proceeded with work.

Kylie, knowing not to say a word that could piss me off right now, walked out in silence, lowering her head to the ground as she closed the door. The whole office could tell that things were not okay, but I was glad that they were being decent enough to stay quiet and not say a word. Hell, I could tell that they were working in silence, fearing that one word could end up annoying òr bothering me, and at this point, that was a fact.

The office’s door was knocked twice as I was replying to one of my emails “come in”

“You called for me, Mrs. Knight?” My lawyer, Mr. James, asked.

“Yes, I want you to start preparing the divorce papers. I will sign them and I want you to give them to my husband. Inform him that I want this to be as quiet and as quick as possible, and a mutual agreement on this would be ending the trial in one sitting” I said, not looking at him.

“And the shares of the company? You have joined both of them as husband and wife.”

“We will discuss that in the terms that are most professional. Work has nothing to do with our relationship as a husband and wife”I said, nodding at the man, dismissing him. He didn’t say a word as he walked out, and staring at the screen of my laptop, I couldn’t help the few tears that escaped my eyes as I felt like my heart was being pulled out of my chest.

I looked at my shoulder, and shook my head. I could barely even move it right now. His claws having dug deep into it, the cuts needed me to go to a hospital to tend to, but knowing that I wouldn’t be able to explain how I got them, I was forced to live with it until the bleeding stopped.

Even pure water couldn’t heal what he did, and having seen them as I was changing the soaked bandage this morning, I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes as I knew that not only would they take a long while to heal, they would also be leaving a deep scar that I didn’t know how to tend to.

I took a deep breath, and wiping my tears, I got up from my seat and entered the bathroom that was in my office. My heart ached at how red my eyes were from crying. The love bite that was on my neck was a reminder of the night that the two of us shared before things went downhill, and clenching my fists, I banged them on the sink for a second as a sob escaped my lips.

My love to the man that I was with, as true as it was, was one sided, and that was something that I ćould no longer deny. The fact that he still saw her in every corner of his room, every corner of the house, and the fact that he even took me to the same places that he took her was something that I knew, and that was the main reason why I chose to not get inside his head.

His mind, whenever I chose to want to know what he was thinking, was always either filled with her.

His love for her. How he missed her, or their memories, and that alone was enough to kill anyone, and not just me. And I knew my limits very well to know that I have crossed every one of them for his sake. I just couldn’t do it anymore, not after last night.

“I really do love you, Blake” I whispered to myself, staring at my reflection “but if my love is one-sided, why am I even bothering?”
