My Alpha Devil

chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE

I slammed my car door and placed my head on the steering wheel. I didn't even bother to wipe the tear that was falling freely on my cheek, I just wanted to let out all my emotions without bottling any.

I couldn't believe what my eyes just saw.

'Xavier with another girl in bed! God this was too much for me to take!' I said to myself.

Xavier and I have been seeing each other for 9 years, and all of it just went down the drain this night.

I didn't bother to think about the situation too much, so I turned on the engine of my car and geared onto the road.

Scenes of Xavier and whoever that girl was romancing themselves on his couch kept replaying in my head, but I discarded it soon enough, after all there was nothing I could do anymore even if it hurts so bad.

I turned on to the road that led to hospital. I had to check on the patients I took in for surgery earlier this morning, at least that would get my mind off everything I was feeling right now.

I'm a chemotherapist at one of the best hospitals in the state, Boston Memorial Hospital. I relocated to Boston few years back from Houston, after I got transferred from the hospital I worked for in Houston.

I moved off the road and parked so I could wear my glasses. My sight was beginning to get blurry from crying too much. I reached for my glasses pouch and I was about turning back the engine of my car when my eye caught something.

I turned towards the direction, and I widened my eyes in surprise as I gasped for air. I didn't wait any second before I drove off.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" I screamed my guts out as I turned towards the hospital street.

I literally couldn't believe what I just saw. It was sort of a werewolf feasting on a human!

"How is that even possible?? Do werewolves really exist??' I asked myself in a hurried tone.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, and sped off towards the front door of the lobby. I dashed inside causing literally everyone to stare at me.

"Zoey are you okay?" Sarah, the nurse at the front desk asked me almost immediately.

"I'm alright thank you". I reached out for a table water just beside the front desk, and gulped it down in less than ten seconds I think. I walked over to Sarah again and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Please hand me the file of the patients I took in for surgery this morning ".

She handed me about five files. "Here. Zoey are you fine?"

I collected the files, grabbed my bag, and started walking towards the ward section. "I'm fine Sarah thank you, I just had a long day".

I hurriedly checked up on the patients and gave them necessary information to carry out. I headed for my office, and as I began climbing the stairs that led to my office, I froze on my spot.

It was him! I recognized him instantly! That was the werewolf I saw few minutes ago!! And in human form! He was sitting at the waiting room, and giving me a devious look. He must have recognized me when I saw him feasting on a human, now he has come for me!

I screamed my guts out as I dashed to my office. I didn't mind if I just created a scene, I just wanted to avoid being devoured by a werewolf.

I entered my office and locked the door beside me. I didn't realize when tears started flowing from my eyes. I was so scared!

I knew I couldn't stay in the hospital for long, so I opted to go home. I grabbed my bag and passed the emergency exit that led to the parking lot, I didn't want to leave through the lobby because I didn't want everyone staring at me after the scene I just created.

I found my car soon enough, and was about opening my car when I heard a loud thud. I turned towards the direction and widened my eyes in surprise.

The werewolf was standing on one of the cars, and was giving me dagger stares. He gnashed his wild and sharp teeth and started moving towards me.

I got the hint, and I didn't waste anymore time before I dashed towards the emergency exit door, the one I came in through. He was faster than me obviously, and got to the door before me.

He landed on his feet in front of me and stared straight at me in the eyes. Fear gripped me and my fingers began to tremble. I didn't know what to do at the moment and I knew this was the end, so I just stood still.

He grabbed my throat and pinned me to the nearest wall. I stared deep into his eyes. I recognized him! He looked so familiar but I could not place his face!

He drugged his finger nails into my skin and was about to devour me not until he stopped, stared deep into my eyes, freed my hands, and went away.

I could not believe my eyes.

'Did a werewolf just free me without hurting me? Wait what?'

I didn't wait any second before I ran to my car and drove home instantly.

What a night!

*****

I got home soon enough and ran into the shower. I let the water run down my back as I felt cold chills fill my spine. I was terrified and I literally couldn't get my head straight at the moment.

I showered just in time and got in bed. I wasn't feeling hungry enough to say I wanted to prepare dinner.

I just wanted to sleep and forget today ever happened. Just then, Xavier came to mind. I really hated him now.

If only he hadn't cheated on me, I would have been at his place, and not even come across a werewolf at all!

I didn't want thinking about him to make matters worse, so I just buried the thought, and tried to catch some sleep.

Just then again, the werewolf face came to mind and I knew I had to figure out who he was. He looked extremely familiar and I just couldn't place his face to figure out who he was.

A werewolf in human form! God today is just not my day! I thought.

I turned towards the other side and my face fell on a magazine beside me. It was a M.S.F magazine, one of the top fashion brands in the state.

I closed my eyes, and was about drifting away into sleep, when I flashed my eyes back open again.

'Wait M.S.F! MICHAEL SMITH!!!' I screamed my guts out.

I picked up my phone and Google searched Michael Smith, the CEO of M.S.F. I covered my mouth in shock as soon as his picture came in sight.

"The famous Michael Smith was a werewolf!!!" I knew his face was familiar, and I have definitely seen him somewhere.

I literally couldn't believe what I just found out. I got really scared that I couldn't even bring myself to sleep anymore. I ended up staying up all night, and the next morning by 6AM, I was out of the house to the hospital.

I didn't want to stay alone. I was scared of him appearing out of nowhere at my house, because definitely he would know too much about me by now.

I was stuck at this point!

I trashed the nineteenth piece of paper in the trash can as I couldn't even concentrate. I had so many things running through my head at the moment, and I felt so numb.

Just then I felt a presence beside me and I flashed my eyes open. I froze as I fixated my eyes on the figure beside me.

It was him! What did he come here to do?

"Wha.. what... What do you want? I swear I didn't tell anyone and I won't. I'm....." He cut me off when he placed his hand on my hands.

I flinched as I hurriedly removed my hand. I didn't want a werewolf touching me.

'How did he even get in here? He must have probably come through the window because I made sure to lock my door.

"It's okay I'm not going to hurt you".

He had this look that made him innocent, and he was in a complete human form at the moment. Who would have thought that the famous, hot, handsome, rich, Michael Smith was not human!

Literally every girl in the city gawked over him, not just because he had all the good qualities every man should have, but because he was stinking rich! Asides running one of the top fashion brands in the state, he also had a share in one of the oil companies in the country.

The name Michael Smith also meant money!

He sat down on the chair opposite me and I broke out of my thoughts. I stood up immediately and clinched to the wall.

"What assurance do I have that you won't hurt me? I swear I didn't tell anyone anything. Please just go and let me be".

"I already said I'm not going to hurt you!" He slammed his hands on the table and I closed my eyes in shock as tears started falling freely from my eyes.

"I only came here to sound a warming. If I ever get to know you let my secret out, I'm not going to spare you". He made his way for the window but stopped in his tracks again.

"By the way, I know where you live so don't think you're safe if you let my secret out. But I won't pay you a visit as long as you keep to your own side of the deal". He didn't wait any second as he jumped off the window and went out of sight.

I held my chest as I gasped for air. I literally did not know what to think or feel!

I sat down on my chair and rested my head for a few minutes. I heard my door open and I flinched on my seat.

"Helloooo are you okay?" Jessica asked as she walked inside and closed the door behind her.

"Yeah I'm good. I was just lost in thought".

Jessica Simpson, my colleague at the hospital who is also a doctor, and one of my closest friend.

"Lost in thought? What's on your mind baby girl?"

Xavier came to mind again and I burst into tears. I couldn't control it anymore. Since last night, I've been trying to act strong and just forget everything, but too many emotional were still bottled up inside me.

"Oh my God! Zoey. What's wrong?"

Jessica passed me a tissue and I wiped my face.

"It's okay Zoey whatever it is tell me. I'm not happy you're this way."

I was comfortable with telling her anything, so I started.

"You know Xavier my boyfriend, well my ex now."

"Ex? Ex as in? Aren't you guys together anymore?"

"We were not until yesterday when I realized I was just his play toy all along".

"What does that even mean? You mean he's cheating on you?" Jessica asked in shock!

"Well yesterday after I left the hospital, I decided to surprise him by going over to his place so I could even spend the night . When I got there, the door was unlocked and right there on his couch, he was...." I couldn't complete my sentence as I broke into tears again.

"He what?" Zoey talk to me".

I sniffed and wiped my face. "He was making love with a girl I don't know or even met in my life before."

This time, Jessica walked over to me, hugged me, and patted my back.

"It's okay Zoey I won't say you shouldn't cry because I know how hurt you are now. Cry it out, it doesn't mean you're weak".

I've loved Xavier my whole life and I was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with him but seems he didn't want that to happen.

The sight of him making love to whoever that girl was still filled my head. I tried to erase all of it, but it made my head hurt even more.

It would be so hard to move on from this. Loving someone for 9 years and it ending this way was too much for me to bear.

"It's okay Zoey". Jessica's voice brought me back to life.

I felt better after pouring out my heart. I really needed somebody to talk to.

Jessica left soon enough and as I rested my head on my desk, I knew I had to do something about Michael Smith.

I wasn't going to let him threaten me like that and keep on instilling fear in me. Never!
