The Alphas Dilemma

Chapter Fifty Four

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR

Gilbert pov

It had been days since I bumped into Emory at her party and the image of her scared face still dances in my vision anytime I think about her. She had me in her tight grasp, I must admit. I couldn’t keep on running from the truth about what she was to me, but I knew I couldn't be with her… she was the Rayne whom I maltreated years ago and made her feel like s**t, and she was obviously back to make my life a living her. Emory had shown me her tricky side and I always fell for her tricks so I knew I had to get serious so she wouldn’t have me in the palm of her hands or at her mercy. I still couldn't stop thinking about her though, how her body felt against mine when we met skin to skin, flesh to flesh, and bare as our desires for each other skyrocketed, getting our high and satisfaction that we hungered for from each other. I wouldn’t lie that I felt pulled to her. I remembered how she felt in my arms when I hugged her; petite and shaken. She was breathing hard from whatever it was or whoever it was that had triggered her and I couldn't help but feel the strong urge to protect her, fight for her and get the bastard that did that to her… too bad he got away already. He would have been at my mercy by now.

The fact that she decided to go home with Alessandro to his pack angered me. I knew he was her half-brother or whatever goddamn label they put on their relationship but for the fact that I was the one that found her after her second panic attack, I was the one that hugged her and calmed her down as she took heavy breaths to get herself back, I was the one that made an attempt to get the culprit that snuck his way into her party to threaten her while Alessandro was there talking away with other people when he didn't even know where his sister was or what was happening to her at the moment. Watching her talk to other men while I was seated was enough torture for me but watching her chose Alessandro over me to spend the night at his place was worse. I wanted to bash my fists against a wall but I struggled to keep my anger in check so I just told her a quick goodnight and stormed off in silence. It was better to keep quiet than say hurtful words that could cause a rift between us. Following her to her car was a move I did from the sweetest part of my heart until I was reminded that Sylvester was a douche and none of the Infatino’s deserved my sweet part.

I sat on my bed and run my hand through my hair in worry as I wondered how she was presently doing. I haven't heard from her in days and I couldn’t help but wonder how she was faring now, I was also worried about the reason why someone would want to hurt her and even threaten her for no reason. All these thoughts ran through my mind and I suddenly grew the strong urge to protect her from anyone that threatened her safety because I couldn't afford to lose her, not after all the way she had made me feel about her in the last couple of months. She was like an intoxicant that I couldn’t flush out of my system.

I wanted to hear from her and how she was now. It had been days after the party and I hadn't heard a word from her so my curiosity was getting the best of me. I contemplated if I should call her or text her to hear from her. A moment passed and I finally picked up my phone, staring at the screen deep in thoughts until I hit the call button that was close to her contact name.

I was still waiting for her to pick up until suddenly, Jenny barged into my room looking enraged with her eyes wide and staring at me with daggers "what the f**k Jenny, why would you storm into my room?" I yelled at her as I dropped my phone and stood up from my bed to meet her halfway across the room. "Why would you just barge into my room like that?" I questioned her and she scoffed before folding her hands across her chest.

"You missed the meeting with my father, you should apologize to him. You know you're meant to for making him wait for you" she blurted out in anger and I laugh

"Are you crazy? I asked "I didn't do anything wrong so I have nothing to apologize for," I told her but it seemed as though my comment got her angry the more.

"You piece of s**t! Do you think you're anything without my father? Do you know what he's down for you? A lot, but here you are every day only f*****g the enemy with glee while we get to do the real job for you!" She screamed at me and that got me really upset.

"What the f**k Jenny, have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to me that way, I'm your Alpha!" I howled at her and she flinched but recovered her stance immediately, returning the hard stare in her eyes "Alpha my cute ass foot Gilbert, you will apologize to my father this instant or you'll be left on your own to do your businesses" she threatened but that didn't get to me because I knew she couldn't do anything, her father owned the power not her. And I was beginning to dig up s**t about him. I knew the stunt the pulled and I was never going to let him get away with it.

"Yeah keep on ranting b***h, there's nothing you can actually do and we both know you're nothing without your father's name in this world we live in, so I'll advise you to rather humble yourself and live within your limit. Stop feeling like you're some rich billionaire that can do whatever she wants" I spat at her while taking slow steps toward her to intimidate her with my presence. I saw raw fear flash in her eyes before she quickly masked, meeting my gaze, she furrowed her brows. "What I do with my life is none of your f*****g business Jenny, okay" I added to which she rolled her eyes.

"I'm betrothed to you Gilbert, of course, what you do with your life is my business. Even the women you go around f*****g shamelessly you prick" she retorted and I clenched and unclenched my fist as I tried hard to suppress my anger.

"Who I f**k, sleep with, or have any affair with is none of your freaking business Jenny. So you better shut your mouth before you regret it" I warned her but that didn't deter her from running her mouth. Such. A. rich. Short. Brat.

"This is about Emory, isn't it? That w***e that you can't get over even after finding out she's the Rayne that disappeared from your pack. I do everything to satisfy you but you still go after her like I'm not the one that's meant to marry you"

"I don't know when you would finally realize that you don't mean anything to me, Jenny. You’re nothing Jenny and don't get me started about the men you f**k around too. You mean absolutely nothing to me because I know about your sexcapades.” I moved closer to her and motioned between the two of us. “This thing between us is ‘tit for tat’. I know you sleep with people that are supposed to be my friends… men that were supposed to be my brother’s and yeah, don’t get me started on how you are the reason why Rayne suddenly disappeared" jenny chuckled cutting me off and met my eyes as she placed her hands on her waist.

She placed her hand on her chest and opened her mouth wide. “I feel so honored that you know this much about me," she told me sarcastically and I growled, my wolf jumping in rage too in my head. I was trying, trying so hard to hold my anger. I was trying to contain my rage no how hard she pushed me to the edge. I went closer to her again, our bodies barely having space between

"Do not push me to the wall Jenny. I’ve exhausted my patience with you. Enough is enough and I've had enough. It wouldn't cost me anything to discipline you like I do the rest of my subjects in this pack" I warned her again but it was like I was adding fuel to her fire that was burning crazily.

"You can't do anything to me Gilbert, you know you can't" she yelled as she hit me on my chest hard making me lose my balance as I staggered a few steps back. I looked at her in sheer anger and growled before storming towards her then held her up against the wall with one hand tightly gripped around her neck

"You do not defile the alpha's words b***h" I said as I unleashed half of my wolf side, my voice different as I stared at her with anger.

"Or else what? What are you going to do to me? Kill me? Or inject me with hard drugs like you do to your subjects or will you r**e me and discard me?" She asked in a taunting voice while she choked from my tight grip and struggled to get my hand off her but I didn't budge.

"You certainly do not want to know Jenny, it's not a nice experience" I replied and let her go immediately while she coughed and tried to catch her breath. I stared at her hard with anger for a while before I decided to leave.
