Chapter 87: Chapter 87

I was in the car feeling my driver glancing furtively at me. I felt like he had something to say or rather that he was blaming me for something. Seems like everyone knew about my lie from the day before and made me feel it.... Or was it just my awful look that day that was confusing him, I don't know but whatever... I now felt uneasy so I preferred to ignore his gaze and focus on my phone.

I was just doing that actually, I was desperate to reach my alpha. After the last message I sent him thinking it would soften his heart but he ignored it to my chagrin, I couldn't keep my calm anymore. I kept bombarding him with messages and then decided to call him. If he doesn't answer my messages he can at least answer when I call him right?

I gulped dialing his number, it didn't ring long before the line was cut, he had just returned my call. It was shocking so I tried again to confirm but after two more tries, I realized uncomfortably that my alpha doesn't want to know anything about me.

My heart burned with immense pain as the tears stung my eyes. He's going to reject me? I never thought this could happen to me with him. He loved me so much. But I have to admit that I would have looked for it because I keep hurting him and he is not insensitive. He has feelings and was probably far too disappointed in me.

Soon we arrived in front of the company and I sighed, this day will be so rotten I know.

" Good day, Miss."

Stop wishing me something that won't be...my day started shittily and will end shitty. However, I nodded politely to the man and got out of the car and towards my office. I didn't have time to pay any attention to the people whispering around me because of my looks, it wasn't my problem if I looked like a creep and people noticed.

The only person I want to draw attention to isn't on this premises so I don't care what I look like. I took the elevator and went up to the top floor where my office is. I walked slowly remembering that my alpha wasn't the only person I lied to yesterday, it all started when I was lying to Greg that I wasn't feeling well.

He'll probably ask me how I'm doing and I'll lie to him again. It gives me a nice leg.

I sighed before knocking lightly but no response inside so I figured he wasn't there yet. I opened the door and I found Greg standing at the window, seeming to observe the city at his feet. He looked so transported that he didn't even notice my presence. I walked inside going to put my bag on my desk still watching Greg. His features were drawn and his expression serious, I could also see dark circles under his eyes, it looked like he had spent a sleepless night. I bit my lip, it looks like something is bothering him but am I allowed to ask him what it is?

Anyway, I'm not sure what I should do but one thing is for sure, I just can't see it like that and just ignore it.

" Hm, Mr. Travis?"

I saw him jump as if he wasn't in this room with me and that my presence would have surprised him. He slowly turned to me and gave me a blank stare, my heart cooling at the indifference.

What was this situation?

I swallowed before nodding my head in respect.

" Hello, Mr. Travis…"

I lifted my head slightly to see him clench his jaw, it looked like he was torn as if tormented by something and I wondered what it was.

" I... How are you?"

" Do you want me to tell you the truth or just a lie... I imagine that the second option suits you."

What was that? Why is he talking to me like this? Wait a minute, does he know that I lied to him yesterday? But how? There's no way he'll know is there? Unless he had a conversation with those around me, Elsa for example? But she came home very late yesterday and we didn't even see each other. How would Greg know if I lied or not? All this puzzles me and his gaze on me hurts me a lot. Looks like my alpha's yesterday when he left me.

I bit my lip, lowering my head as a feeling of deep disgust churned through my throat.

" I'm sorry…"

Greg crossed his arms raising an eyebrow before looking at me sadly.

" Why are you apologizing?"

Again the same question that my alpha asked me yesterday with the same tone used and to which I could not and did not know how to answer. Why do these two men who share my heart have so many similarities?

" Well, I don't know why...but it's just that…"

I felt my body being drawn towards Greg's and my heart quivered at the closeness.

" I want to know why you apologize so much Sophia... What did you do to feel guilty? I want so much... for you to confide in me."

His lament was deep and painful, I could feel it by the sound of his voice, he seemed to be in pain and I didn't know what to do. Why is Greg acting like this? Why does he remind me so much of the man I keep hurting with my actions, my alpha? This feeling when I'm in Greg's arms, this love. I put my hands up wrapping his back as I started to cry.

" Sorry... I beg your pardon... I don't want to hurt you but I have to... I beg you, forgive me."

I don't know exactly who I was apologizing to knowing I was in Greg's arms but I was thinking of my alpha as well.

Greg hugged me, his eyes becoming sharp, Sophia also seemed tormented by something, she said she doesn't want to but she has to. Could she be under threat? So Jessy would force her to lie to him despite herself? But how does he manage to do that? Could he know something about her that would keep her under his thumb?

He frowned, his heart burning with anger. If this pathetic little omega dares to threaten his Luna for whatever reason, he will be merciless especially since he has a certain resentment towards him, like a mother-like son. This man is the son of the one who led his mother to death and therefore he knows that this viper can harm Sophia.

He sighed, maybe he's been unfair to Sophia since yesterday and didn't try to understand what was going on. He shifted slightly lifting her chin for her to look at him, her eyes were watery and he could read her pain and distress deep in her eyes. He knew she was tormented by something very serious and he closed his eyes.

" It's up to me to apologize for having misunderstood you so much, my love."

I didn't understand what was going on, I was so sad at that moment that even my surroundings seemed abstract to me. Greg lifted my chin for me to look at him and I heard him mutter an apology but my mind was elsewhere, if only those were my alpha's words, it would brighten my day a little. In my thoughts, I just felt Greg's soft lips on mine as the sensation felt so natural to me. I found myself feeling the same things as with my alpha as I surrounded his neck responding to his kiss.

My alpha, my love, I need him so much that he forgives me and takes me in his arms, like now.
