The Alpha Killed My Husband

The Blackmail

'You cannot be serious.' I bang my fist at the table. I cannot help it but I feel utterly furious at what my Beta was hinting at.

'I am not saying that it is. I am just weighting the probability that it could be. We need a probe into the matter.' He explains, throwing his hands in the air.

My eyes look past his shoulder. No Rudransh, you cannot lose your temper like that. It would help if you were calm and rational. This won't solve it.

'He is blackmailing. That ugly punk.' Shantanu cusses. He ruffles his hair and pulls at the loose ends. His eyes are focused on nothing, He seems to be in deep thoughts.

'Why do you not accept it?' He suggests. 'I am sure we can-'

'I cannot. I can never with the contest around the corner. Aary will be devastated. I cannot afford to hurt her. Find a way out of this! I don't care how you do it. Just do it!' I yell at him, pulsating with every breath.

Shantanu looks at me for a second. His searching eyes went over my face as if I were a puzzle he had been trying hard to solve.
