Chapter 75: Chapter 75

I ran to the bathroom and locked myself in. It was all good considering that this floor was reserved for a few high-ranking people in the company and that of course there were very few female executives. So I did not find people in the toilets which allowed me to monopolize them.

I placed myself in front of the mirror seeing that despite my efforts, I could not hold back my tears. No matter how hard I tried, I told myself that I didn't have to react that way, it was stronger than me. So strong that I do not understand what is happening to me.

It was my whole being, my very essence that had been shaken. I don't know how to explain it but even in the back of my mind, I felt something snap again and again yet it's about Greg and not my alpha. How come I feel such pain, that even my wolf side can't calm it yet it's not our Alpha that I caught cheating? It's only Greg, so why is my heart so hurt?

It hurts so much my throat is lumpy and I can't breathe. I just want to sit somewhere and cry over and over again. Am I even normal?

I slid to the floor and finally started to cry so much that I could imagine my sobs being heard outside. But I didn't care because all that interested me in this situation was to relieve my pain. Seeing Greg in someone else's arms, even when we're not dating anymore, hurts way too much to be normal. I don't want to think about the possibility that he would be in a relationship, I feel such possessiveness towards him that it becomes frightening.

I am in a relationship, however, but I feel so weird towards Greg as if he and I shared much more than this past bond.

Everything related to him in the same way that my alpha weakens me.

I don't want to be a slutty woman or anything like that but I can't help it, I'm madly in love with this man and that's what's strange because I'm also madly in love with my alpha.

It's not normal, not normal at all.

I ended up calming down after a few long minutes of crying and straightened up, deciding to splash some water on my face.

My face was swollen and red, not to mention my eyes. I was so sad to see that I was afraid. I wanted to grab my bag because I had some beauty tools to alleviate this dirty face but I realized that on the fly, I threw my handbag on my desk. I sighed, not only would I have to walk through the halls with that ugly face catching people's attention, but I would still have to go back into the office with Greg and that woman. How should I explain my reaction? I didn't take the time to think about my actions, I got carried away and I over-acted. Now how am I going to get in front of them after this?

I sighed wearily before lightly slapping my cheeks with both hands. It doesn't matter, what's done is done, I don't have to think about trifles, of course, I acted like an idiot but I can make up for it.

I wiped my face before going to open the door but the moment I turned the handle, I felt my body being pulled inside again and the door clicking sounded. The person that came in blocked the door and I felt my body surrounded in a gentle embrace.

I opened my eyes wide as something grabbed my mind, this smell, this presence, it was not possible, I would recognize them among a thousand.

There was the lingering smell of my alpha's pheromones.

What is going on? What is he doing here? Did he feel my pain and come running?

But at the same time that flash of thought hit me, the scent I smelled immediately disappeared confusing me even more as there was nothing lycanthrope left in my assailant's scent.

I frowned, I can now recognize a lycanthrope near me even if he used inhibitors but after this strong smell of powerful pheromones, all traces were gone, the person who issued me was totally and deeply human. There is no doubt about it.

So what was it just now? Was I so sad that I imagined being in my alpha's arms? Did I want him so badly that I altered my senses to the point of mistaking myself for someone else's arms? But what else indeed?

I looked up and recognized his clothes, it was Greg. I bit my lip hard before trying to push him away. My point is hopeless, if I ever get to mistake my alpha for Greg, I'm in a mess.

Greg meanwhile did not feel well, so much so that he did not know how to control his pheromones. He can annihilate them and pass for a normal human even in the eyes of seasoned lycanthropes. This is to allow him to lead his two lives with his different identities without one interfering with the other. And it also allows him to watch his enemies incognito.

But today, when his day had started so well waking up in the comfort of Sophia's arms, he had been called urgently to the office because his employees had said that Cherry had arrived and had become unwell on the premises of his office. He had asked to call Elsa but the latter had been on a business trip since dawn. Because he did not want to draw the attention of the press to this girl's deviations - he knows that she often takes narcotics and despite his supervision, she ends up shooting herself in secret - so to avoid a scandal that frankly wouldn't be profitable at this moment when he is about to put a new subsidiary to be listed on the stock exchange, he must manage this unconscious girl by himself.

He arrived in his office and arranged for her to be taken to the waiting room on the couch to rest. As he suspected, she had drunk too much, perhaps with other products, and instead of going home, she had seen fit to come to his office to piss him off.

He will say a word about her behavior to her agent, he is useless and incompetent, it is the second time in a week that she has allowed herself to show up in his office, and this is without this incompetent manager.

He doesn't like incapable losers.

As Cherry slept on the other side he started to work, deciding to take care of some documents he couldn't check yesterday, time passed and finally Cherry woke up arriving in his office. He didn't hesitate to pull her braces up and as he dismissed her, she did something he never expected her to do. She pounced on him wanting to kiss him but he was proactive and shifted his face slightly resulting in her kissing his chin. But anyone who saw this scene would say they were kissing.

And it was not Sophia who would say the opposite

Shit he doesn't want her to get him wrong, he'll take care of Cherry later, but for now, he has to fix things with Sophia.

He smelled her in the women's bathroom and waited outside the door for her to calm down. His worry was such that he couldn't control his pheromones and the moment she opened the door, unfurled them.

Fortunately, he quickly recovered and became a "Human" again.

" Greg let go of me…"
