The Billionaire Werewolf

Chapter 4

Alessia woke up with a smile on her face remembering the activities of last night. She turned to face her husband but he was nowhere to be found.

She walked to Greyson’s room, but she didn’t see him on the bed through the small gap the door gave. With no sight of him, Alessia stepped into the room.

She moved closer to the window that had shattered that night. She heard footsteps coming out of the bathroom and turned around to see Greyson staring at her.

“What are you doing here?”, I specifically told you not to come into this room”, he said as anger was starting to build up.

“I just I… I was” Alessia stammered, she could feel her throat becoming tight as fear gripped her.

“You what?” he shouted his voice filled with rage”.

“I just wondered why you would leave me on the bed like that as if I was a one-night stand or were you too drunk to remember what we did last night?” Alessia blurted out.

Nothing could make her expect the slap across her face, she placed her hand over it to feel his imprinted palm as she looked at Greyson with teary eyes.

“Just because we are married doesn’t mean I want anything to do with you, last night was a mistake”, he said blankly.

Alessia felt worthless as those words resounded in her ears, like a used-up tissue that he just disposed of. She knew they never loved each other but last night felt real to her.

Her state of misery was soon dissolved by anger as she yelled at him.

“I hate you with every bone in my body, you’re a ruthless and arrogant monster who doesn’t deserve love and should rot in the pits of hell”, and with that, she ran out of the room.

She jumped on her bed and cried her eyes out, leaving her pillow soaked, and sleep took over her eventually.

Alessia woke up to hear her name being called by Miss Laura “My dear, wake up it’s time for dinner come downstairs”.

She washed her face, got to the dining table, and was pleased to know Greyson wasn't there.

A bit curious, she asked Miss Laura, “Wouldn’t Greyson be joining us for dinner?”.

“No my dear, He stepped out a few hours ago while you were still asleep, said he might not be back anytime soon”, she replied.

‘He must have gone out drinking again, I would make sure to lock my door to prevent any more future mistakes’. Alessia told herself as she recalled the words of Greyson.

“I’ll be going to my room now”, Alessia told Miss Laura as she made her way upstairs. She could care less if Greyson decided to come back next month.

Alessia was fast asleep when she heard faint screams coming from the hallway, she opened her door and realized it was coming from Greyson’s room.

She contemplated going back to bed or inspecting whether it was one of his love affairs. She picked the latter and approached his room.

His door was left ajar, and she peeped through it, she was shocked at the sight before her. A girl on the floor with her hands and legs tied together.

“Please please don’t do this, don't kill me please I'm begging you”, the girl pleaded with her husband who didn’t seem like himself anymore.

“It’s already too late”, Greyson said in a cold and dark voice, and with that, his bones began to bend which made him fall on his knees and arms.

His thick black fur emerged with two elongated ears attached to see his dog-like face, his teeth were razor sharp ready to tear apart the flesh of the innocent girl.

Alessia couldn’t believe her eyes as she watched her husband transform into a werewolf, the girl on the floor watched as her eyes filled with fear.

A scream couldn’t leave Alessia's mouth as she ran downstairs and left the house. She stumbled outside and raindrops fell on her but she continued running.

She didn’t think to tell Miss Laura, she just kept on running, with fear in her heart and a mind filled with confusion.

She stopped as she got to the entrance of Ashton's house. The door was unlocked so she didn’t bother knocking, “Ashton! Ashton!” she called.

Walking into the living room, what she saw broke her already aching heart. She found the only man she loved making out with her friend on his couch.

Despite her calling out Ashton's name, they didn’t seem to break away from each other as they paid no attention to their surroundings.

“Ashton!!” Alessia shouted, and they both fell to the ground by the sound of her voice. They looked at her without any remorse as to what they did.

“What the hell are you doing here, don't you know how to knock?” Ashton asked her with a face full of annoyance, as he felt no regrets for his actions.

“Is that the question you are asking me, I thought you loved me, how could you betray me like this?” Alessia asked him in a shaky voice.

“I never truly loved you Alessia, and you made it easier for me when you got married to Greyson, I just stuck around so I could extort money from you”. Ashton said to her revealing his true intentions.

“Yeah! He has only ever loved one girl, and that is me babe”, Sierra said to her with a sneer, and she proceeded to kiss Ashton.

“You b***h!!” Alessia yelled at Sierra as she approached wanting to land a punch on her face, Ashton caught her hand before it could happen and flung her onto the couch.

“Don’t you even dare touch her, Are you trying to hurt my baby?”Ashton stated as he rubbed the belly of Sierra.

Alessia's eyes were wide in shock, she felt like the walls came crashing around her, the room seemed too small to breathe, and she was feeling lightheaded as everything came rushing to her brain.

She could hear them burst into laughter as she ran out of the house and back into the heavy downpour outside.

She looked for a nearby payphone seeing she left her phone at Greyson's house, She had only one person in mind to call.

“Hello?”, he questioned from the other end, wondering who would be calling him by this hour.

“Liam It’s me, Alessia,” she said trying to hold herself from breaking down in tears as she heard his voice.

“Oh hey! How are you? Are you alright, cause you should be asleep by now”, Liam asked, his voice laced with concern.

“Can you please come pick me up?” Alessia replied and told him the street she was on, she waited warily by a side bench till his Lamborghini pulled up in front of her.

Liam quickly got out of the car with an umbrella and placed a coat on Alessia as he guided her to the back seat of his car.

“Alessia what happened, Why were you under the rain, you look like you have been crying for hours, what’s wrong?” Liam threw the questions at her in worry.

She just laid on the seat dumbfounded, devastated as thoughts of Greyson, Sierra, and Ashton ran through her mind. She was heartbroken, betrayed, and scared. She remained quiet not knowing how to respond to his questions.

“Okay I will just drive you to my house, then you can tell me about it, please just calm down, all will be fine”, Liam said trying to comfort her as he drove off.

“Thank you”, Alessia managed to say which sounded more like a whisper to her ears.
