Hailey's

POV

I knocked continuously and angrily on Ari's door. I had been standing drenched and cold on her doorstep for the past two minutes but she wasn't answering. I glanced around and found a big iron stick. Picking it up, I walked towards the door and pounded on it repeatedly with the intent of breaking it down. "Can you keep the noise down? Some of us are trying to sleep here!" Ari's neighbor yelled.

"Shut the f**k up and go to sleep or I shut it for you," I threatened loudly. Keys suddenly rattled and the door was pulled open. Ari stood in front of me with drenched hair and on her bathrobe. She appeared shocked to see me.

"Hailey? What are you doing here by this time of the night looking so drenched and angry?" she inquired. I walked past her nudging my shoulder on hers.

"Get my suitcase," I ordered her as I got in without removing my muddy shoes. It stained the white tiles but I couldn't care less. I sank my drenched self down into the sofa.

"Hailey, be careful. I just finished doing a thorough cleaning," she muttered, dragging my suitcase in.

"Where the hell have you been? I've been at the door for two minutes. Didn't you hear me knocking?" I ignored her words about her apartment.

"Only two minutes and you wanted to break down my door? I was having a cool bath with some loud music which was why I could not hear you. You woke the entire neighborhood up," she said.

"Whatever. Get me food, I'm starving," I ordered her. I glanced at her unmoving frame.

"Didn't you hear me?" I asked.

"Not until you tell me what you are doing in my house so late at night. Why are you really here Hailey? With your luggage as well. I'm sure you aren't here for just a visit," she insisted.

I sighed. "I got kicked out and stripped of my title. And it was all Emma's fault. If only that b***h did not come over to the pack house and make a scene," I said angrily. She furrowed her brows in confusion.

"You got kicked out because of Emma? What scene did she make or better still what did you do this time?" she inquired.

I glared at her sharply. "From all that I said, you think I'm at fault?"

"I don't think so. I know so. And did you just say you got stripped off your title?" she gasped in shock. I leaped up from my seat and grabbed her neck, pinning her to the wall.

"What are you doing? Let go," she screeched trying to pull my hand off her. I gripped her neck tighter.

"Who do you think you are to ask me questions? You should be happy that I even visited your home. Do you know how many people are waiting for this opportunity? Stripped off my title?" I chuckled darkly. She was beginning to choke and gasp for air.

I continued. "That won't happen. They were just bluffing. Have you forgotten who I am? I'm Hailey and I can get away with anything. This is just a tiny bump in the road due to Emma. I will fix this like I always do. So, you had better watch your tongue while speaking to me. Understood?" I threatened with a low growl. She nodded vehemently.

A smile broke on my face and I gently removed my hand from her neck. It left an ugly red imprinted bruise. I patted her hair.

"Be a good girl and get me some food," I ordered and walked back to the sofa. She quickly went to the kitchen to get what I asked for. I placed my muddy feet on the table. I had to come up with something, anything to get back into the pack house. The pity card won't work on any of them anymore. Ari came back with a tray filled with food. I snatched it from her hands and started to devour it.

"You really won't tell me what happened? I thought we were friends. Will you keep trying to choke me if something happens?" she asked after standing around quietly for a while. I chuckled.

"Friends? Don't make me laugh. You are nothing but a loyal dog and as your owner, you are obligated to do anything I ask of you. You come over when I say so, you leave when I say so, you howl and wag your little tail when I say so and you shut the f**k up when I tell you to. Who asked you to speak? Get the hell out!" I yelled, throwing my cutleries at her. She ran into her room before any of it could hit her.

"You should have shut up while I was still asking nicely," I muttered irately. I tucked my hair behind my ear and took a deep breath. "Where was I?" I asked no one in particular.

"Right. How to get back into the pack house. Hailey needs to come up with a new plan. They've figured out the first one so I need a new approach," I mumbled to myself as I chewed on my nails in deep thoughts. At this point, I wasn't even bothered about Emma anymore, I just wanted to get back into that pack house and get my title back.

My eyes widened at the brilliant plan I just came up with. Why didn't I think of this sooner? He might be able to help me out. But, I haven't spoken to him for a long time. Would he still be able to recognize my number? The man that people referred to as my father. Not me though.

I picked up my phone and dialed his number. It was good that I didn't delete it. It proved to be useful today. He picked up on the third ring.

"Hello," he said. I was hearing his voice after a very long time. It's been years. I've almost forgotten what he looks like.

"Am I speaking with Mr Smith?" I asked.

"Yes, you are," he replied. I paused for a while.

"This is Hailey," I informed him, my tone cold and detached.

"Hailey dear? Is this really you? I called you severally but you wouldn't pick up. I sent you letters through Lila but you never replied to any of them," he said. I rolled my eyes. I ignored his calls on purpose and as for the letters, I burnt them immediately Mother handed them over to me. Why? The reason was simple. I never wanted to see or speak with him again because I had everything I ever wanted but now, my life was coming to an end and I needed his help. Unfortunately.

"Don't patronize me. I'm sure you've heard about everything that happened from Alpha Tom and Luna Lila?" I inquired. He sighed.

"I did. What were you thinking about doing things like that? That family loved and cherished you like their own which was why I left you with them because I knew I could never show you that much love due to what happened between your mother and me. Why would you hurt them like that?" he asked.

"Cut the crap. Father threatened to strip me of my title and I was kicked out. I need you to speak with them. All you have to do is make up a few lies so they will take me back. You can do that much right?" I asked rudely.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that dear. The Alpha and Luna can do whatever they want. I have no power to stop them. You hurt their feelings Hailey and you should beg for their forgiveness not come up with more schemes to get your title back. Don't you care even a little bit for them? They raised you," he said.

"You are giving me fatherly advice now? Save it for your other dumb kids. Are you helping me or not?" I inquired.

"I can't do anything about this but you can come live with me if you want. This obsession is unhealthy for you dear, it was the same thing that broke your mother..."

"Don't you dare talk about her? I will never live with you even if it's the last place on earth," I spat bitterly.

"Who are you telling to come live with us?" I heard a voice asking. I recognized her instantly. It was his stupid mate.

"Hailey? You are asking that girl to come over here? I will never allow that. Not in this house. Good has nothing to do with evil. She's an evil being and I will never allow her to mingle with my kids. She's crazy," I heard her yelling over the phone. "Ahhhhhh," I yelled, throwing the phone angrily at the wall. I pulled at my hair furiously. I knew it would be a waste of time to ask him for help.

"Calm down and think of another solution, Hailey. That's what you do. They are not worth getting angry over," I stood up and breathed in deeply. But before that...

"Ari, I need a new phone," I called out in a sing-song voice with a smile.
