ALPHA JACKSON'S POV
"That's not the point anyway, there's an issue at the company," I said in a low and weak voice.
"Someone else wants you to merge again????." Skyler asked, looking at me directly.
"No, that's not it. The HOD of employment just employed a female as my secretary." I lamented as I heaved an irritated sigh.
"Wow, she's also your secretary, right?" Skyler asked.
"That's the issue, I don't want to kill someone and appear all over the news," I said with annoyance written all over me.
"Then get rid of her!" Skyler said matter of factly.
"You're such a dumbass," I said and walked out of the parlor.
"Hold up, is she pretty?" Skyler asked and winked.
" I haven't seen her, but don't try s**t with my employees. Women are dangerous," I concluded, and walked out.
~~Three weeks later~~
For the past three weeks, my daily routine was going to work as usual and avoiding women at all costs.
I heard whispers from them calling me cold-hearted and stuff like that, but that was who I am and I loved it.
We were preparing for a gaming competition named DGS sponsored by MF GLOBAL and more designers were employed in our company. I've been signing a lot of paperwork but in all this while, I've never laid my eyes on my secretary or any female employee. I always used my private elevator going up and down and I made sure no female employee worked in the hallway where I passed. That's how badly I hated them.
One time I called my secretary to send up the tea boy to get me coffee and almost smashed my telephone. She sounded So much like Hailey. Lately, all the females I come across have sounded like her.
The big show was to be in two weeks and I was seriously preparing for it. If my company wins this competition, it would be a good boost for the company. More designs were created and brought to my desk for review, but now, I was mentally bracing myself for the worst and not committing murder.
MY SECRETARY WAS BRINGING SOME PAPER WORKS THAT NEEDED MY SIGNATURE.
I was using my laptop hard when I heard a soft knock on the door.
She was here already.
"Come,n. I ordered in a hoarse voice while I focused hard on my laptop screen.
"Drop Thomas's and paperwork., " I commanded, but I didn't hear a sound.
Soon, I heard a pile of papers fall to the floor and she muttered:
"Jackson!."
That voice was enough for me to understand what was going on. I raised my head swiftly and we locked eyes.
Fury and anger blinded me as our failed wedding scene came rushing into my memory. I was so prepared and enthusiastic about the wedding and she had the guts to abandon me that way, making me a laughing stock. Time for all my wishes to come true.
My wolf was getting restless inside and my claws and fangs were threatening to surface. IglaI glared at her as she shivered and drops of tears fell from her eyes.
She turned around to run out of the office when I got infuriated and raced towards her.
My claws were visible now, so I grabbed her neck, my claws digging into her flesh as blood gushed out. Right now, all I wanted was to see her drop dead, but as her blood touched my skin, my wolf immediately calmed down to my annoyance.
But I didn't let go, not until I started screaming 'mate' at the back of my head.
"If you kill her, we might both die!." My wolf, Maddox warned,
"I don't care!" I growled.
"But I do care!!!! And she's our mate, at the rate you're going, if you kill her, you won't pick a second chance mate." He countered.
" Just shut up." came one and started blinking her eyes like someone her Spirit was leaving.
I remember there was a CCTV camera. If anything happens to her here, I would be implicated. That prompted me to leave her as she fell like a bag of maize.
My claws disappeared and I appeared normal again. I couldn't even spare her a second glance as seeing her made my blood boil.
"Get out of my office!" I yelled and she obliged almost immediately.
The moment she stepped out of the office, my mind went to the blood that was dripping out of her neck.
How would other employees react when they saw it as they knew she had come to my office? Would she be able to go home after blooming? I don't and don't care.
"Liar!" Maddox yelled.
I immediately raced after her and compelled her to use my private elevator to go back home. Just as she was about to step into the private elevator, one of my female employees walked in and immediately grabbed her by her hair and slammed her head on my chest so she wouldn't be identified. I don't want anyone getting any thoughts!!
When we entered and the elevator began going down, I shoved her off me as her very presence seemed contagious. She sniffled and winced as she held her neck trying to stop the bleeding. When we got outside, without sparing me a word, she walked into a car and was about to drive and that angered me the most.
Hailey wasn't saying anything, even when I attempted to kill, she didn't even plead or beg for forgiveness, she didn't even try to justify herself.
Hailey feels and looks so mysterious now, like someone I never knew. This was so not Hailey! Did she tell me that much?
Why am I even thinking about that? But at the thought of hate, my heart shrank as my wolf winced in pain.
"Are you not going to explain anything that happened that day? Are you not going to do anything to justify your actions?." I yelled in pain as my heart shattered in different places.
