Embracing Storm

CHAPTER TWO: A LIAR AND CHEATER

~NATALIE’S POV~

“What is going on here?” My entire body freezes up. I do not understand. In fact, I just want someone to shove my arm very hard and wake me up from this nightmare.

Can someone explain to me why Harvey’s trousers is down, and why he is slamming his d**k into this psychopath, Marla?

They are so indulged in their actions on the desk that they take no notice of my presence in the office.

“Harvey!” I scream out, and that is when he finally takes notice of my presence in the office.

He separates himself so quickly from Marla leaving his d**k dangling out in front of me, forgetting he is still naked.

My mouth fell open, finding it difficult to even comprehend what I am feeling. Is it betrayal, anger or self-doubt? Everything is so confusing.

This man has been my boyfriend since I was the Alpha’s daughter. When every other person turned their backs on me, and cursed at me, he was the only one who stood by me.

“Honey, my property is dangling in front of outsiders. Cover up quickly.” Marla’s slutty voice sounds in the office as I watch her bend down slowly, picking up Harvey’s trousers and placing it back properly around his waist with a seductive smile plastered on her face.

I am dumbfound when I see Harvey stretch out a sly smile as Marla adjusts his trousers. Do these two treat me like air? And what did this psychopath just call me? An outsider?

“You psychopath! Did you just call me an outsider? Have you finally lost your remaining senses? Not to worry, we are in the hospital, I will certainly get you the best psychologist today.” I hastily approach Marla, but just before my hand can even grab her, I feel a hard shove on my shoulders.

My body hits the floor, and before I can finally register what is happening, I feel a hard force hit my cheek.

“How dare you call the Alpha’s daughter a psychopath?” Harvey barks out, pointing his finger in front of my face, and accusing me of defamation.

I shudder, barely believing it, but now I finally got the shove I was hoping for, it finally registers in my head that this isn’t a nightmare. This is actually happening. Harvey cheated on me with Marla.

My tears starts to pour as I place my trembling palm against my burning cheek. I can’t stop it no matter how hard I try.

I blink, trying to clear my vision “You… you hit me,” my lips were quivering making it hard to speak clearly.

“You should feel grateful that I did. Do you know the repercussion of hurting and defaming the Alpha’s daughter?” Harvey continues, speaking in a rhetorical manner, and not feeling any remorse for what he just did.

“I should feel happy? Harvey, what are you saying? You cheated on me, and you say I should be grateful and thank you?” I shout, not liking the fact that my tears just keeps pouring out from my eyes.

I am not a weakling, what is all this? I sniffle hard.

Harvey scoffs as I watch him approaching me slowly “Cheated on you? You better go to sleep and dream again, Natalie. Whatever you think you have with me ended the very day your father became a traitor.” He taunts while hitting my temple with his finger, like he wants his words to stick into my head.

My back grows rigid by his words. What does he mean by we are no longer in a relationship? That’s not possible. He is probably annoyed that I interrupted his session with a patient, right? Yes, that should be it.

“You are just angry, and you are saying things you don’t mean. Harvey, let’s talk reasonably alone, okay?” I quickly drag myself up from the floor, walking towards him to hold his hand like my life depends on it.

There is no way in the world that I will let Harvey go. He is the only one in the whole pack that still looks at me like before. If he leaves me too, then I will really be alone in this world. I can’t let that happen.

Harvey pulls away from my hold as he hisses in disgust like I am a piece of trash staining his white coat.

He picks up wet wipes from his desk, rubbing his hands clean “I told you she is a slut who just wants to hold on to me, honey. Now, do you believe me?” he ridicules me as he spoke to Marla.

My world crashed as everything is finally starting to add up in my head “You were the one who reported to the hospital and got me fired.” I said in disbelief.

Harvey chuckles, “If you didn’t figure that out, I would have been really disappointed. After all, I could have married you if you were still the Alpha’s daughter. Now, you are not, what exactly is your use to me or any man? I should wish you best of luck in finding your fated mate, but you don’t even have a wolf anymore,” He whispers into my ears with a tone only audible to me.

“You disgusting hypocrite!” I snap, my eyes turning red in anger.

All the time he was with me was just because I was the Alpha’s daughter. Now he sees no use for me, he wants to dump me?

A dry laugh escape my mouth, then stretches out to become one of self-mockery.

The sky is clear now, and I am truly a fool left alone in this world to suffer.

Turning my eyes to face Marla who has a spiteful smile on her face, I somehow feel pity for her “I guess it is fitting that you two end up together. I hope you both destroy each other.”

What pity? I should have sympathized with her, but to hell with that.

I hope they burn in hell!

I slam the door shut as I leave, running out of the hospital, and forgetting to even clear up my desk. All I want to do now is cry my eyes out.

My heart is hurting very badly. I wish I can tear it out and get a new one so I can feel better already? Is that possible? This pain is too much.

I am a little relieved when I finally set eyes on the familiar front door of my house, and I unlock the door quickly.

Thankful for the fact that my father isn’t at home, I rush to my bed, and as I fell flat on the bed, my sobs filled the room.

It is true that I have no wolf again, and because of that, I might not even know my mate when I see him and he might also not know me too.

After we were casted away as traitors, the biggest punishment wasn’t the demotion, but the fact that we lost our wolves.

Deep down, I really pray intently to the moon goddess that mine is just sleeping out of exhaustion. Because, what is a werewolf without her wolf?

I did not even know when or how I managed to fall asleep, but I am awakened by a very loud bang coming from the living room.

Jolting up from the bed, I notice it is already dark outside through the window.

Did thieves break into the house? I shake my head. It should be my father making loud noises after drinking himself to stupor.

I lay back on the bed, but when I hear different voices, I am certain he has company. What do they want from us? We are just a few dollars to bankruptcy now that I have lost my job.

I grab my bed lamp and stealthily exit my room.

Entering the living room, I can see my father sitting on a sofa in the living room with some bodied men blocking the front door “Father? Who are these people?”

My senses are still on alert as I hold on to the bed lamp tightly.

“Natalie… you… you are home?” my father breathes out heavily.

I can feel something is wrong the moment I hear my father’s question. It is as if he does not want me to be home at that moment.

“Father, what are they—”

I am unable to complete my words when a burly man enters through the front door like the world belongs to him.

“Bring her to me.” he commands, and the moment my eyes lock with his light brown eyes, I can sense that there is big trouble.
