Dominant Alpha
Chapter 27

"What the hell?!" Alpha Boris was the first one to react as he suddenly shouted in a furious voice as soon as the words left my lips, "Alpha Christian, now a human is going to teach and tell you how to make deals within our packs and how to protect your own pack?" I truly wanted to punch him in the face with the chair that he was sitting in.

"I am just saying what I think is right for us, Alpha," I said in a calm tone to Alpha Boris, trying hard to hide the anger that was simmering underneath my calm exterior at that scoundrel's idiotic attempt to hide his wrongdoing, "this deal is dangerous for us and yo-" "Ava, SIT DOWN."

Before I could continue, Christian gritted through clenched teeth angrily, his hand was clenched tight in a fist on the table as he spoke the words.

"But Christian, look at those papers, they are clearly indicating that if we signed the deal, we would have to lose an extensive amount of our warriors. How can w..."

"Alpha Christian, it is like you are insulting me without having to say a word," Alpha Boris threw his chair back and shot up from his place before I could finish the words, "are you this much dumb that you have to take advice and lectures from this girl that has not even known anything about us until just a few days ago?"

"How can.." I had barely started talking when suddenly a hand shot out and clenched my arm tightly to pull me against a hard body.

"Shut up, Ava! Can you just shut the hell up for five fucking minutes? I invited you to these meetings so that you can see how my world works, not for you to insult me in front of people who respect me and expect the same from me in return." Christian shouted at me in an angry voice, making me suddenly stiffen in discomfort and fear when he continued, "What do you think I am? Am I not good enough, knowledgeable enough to know what is good for MY pack? A few days in these meetings, barely a handful of information about us and you think you are an expert now?"

"No, Christian..." I stammered to explain but he did not let me continue. Cutting me off in the middle, he kept on saying the words that were crushing my heart bit by bit with each passing moment,

"Now a mere human will teach me how to run a pack? Just stay out of my business, Ava. It is my pack and I definitely know what is good for us better than you. You do not need to poke your head in something that does not concern you in any way. You are here for my pleasure, you are here to sit beside me, and you are here to listen. So stay in that category. Now get out of here before I lose my mind even more!" He was seething in rage.

I could not even understand how I had hurt his pride or insulted him. I only wanted to give my opinion, put it on the table in front of the man whom I was supposed to spend my life with. And was not I here for that? Was not I told that my opinions, concerns, decisions mattered? That I should learn and give back?

But my heart was crushed once again. Once again, he finally showed me my actual place in his life. He made promises and said sweet words to me only to insult me in a room full of unknown people when I actually tried to fit in. To stand beside him and make him proud. To be a part of his life.

Despite controlling desperately, a tear slipped from my eyes and rolled down my cheek.

"I thought it was OUR pack," I said in a trembling voice while looking straight into his eyes. "But I guess it was my biggest mistake to trust you. Finally, you showed me again why I was right in the very first place never to fall for your words."

I walked out of there bitterly. These were his true colors. Everything he did from last month was a lie, a facade to trap me. How stupid of me to trust him. How could he do this to me? How could he insult me like this?

As I stood shaking in my place with nothing but anger and pain in my heart, the only thing that I could do at that moment was push back my chair, and storm out of that damn meeting room without saying anything else. If he wanted to give up his whole damn money to become a beggar in the end because of his greed, I gave no shit about it anymore. He could go to hell for all I cared.

I ran to my room straight and locked it from inside,

"Shit! Shit! Shit! How stupid I am!!!" My hands slipped in my hair to grabbed clutch a handful of them in frustration, "Today, he was going to mark me! What a fucking good surprise this is. Just amazing! He definitely stood firm in his words. He made this day very special for me." Tears of sadness and anger were streaming down my face.

As the pain overpowered and anger filled my heart entirely, I wiped the tears off my eyes and cheeks harshly and muttered to myself, "This is it. I am not going to cry anymore." My voice kept shivering as the reminder of what had happened barely a few moments ago, each word that he had spoken to me with nothing but the clear intention of putting me in my place in front a bunch of unknown people just so he could keep his 'pride' intact kept swirling inside my head,

"He has made it pretty clear that I am not a part of his pack, his life. And it is fine! Absolutely great! Go. To. Hell. Christian Fucking Idiot."
