Chapter 69: Chapter 69

There was tension between the two wolves facing each other. Adrene was the first to turn into her human form before Alpha Jack also turned. His eyes were filled with disappointment. Not even a single care about how hurt Adrene could be.

Adrene walked closer to him brimming with anger. She raised her hand to slap him but Jack held it quickly before it landed on his face.

"What do you think you are doing?", Alpha Jack bellowed in anger as his eyes turned fiery red.

"Let go of my hands, you bastard! You are betrayal! You are a snitch! I hate you Jack! How could you do this to me after all the months we have been together?", Adrene shouted amidst sobs.

"A betrayer? Who did I betray?", Alpha Jack asked with raised brow.

"Who did you betray? Are you this heartless?", She questioned.

"I never betrayed you. Rather, I helped you…I helped your pathetic life back then and if you can be truthful to yourself, you will remember I never promised a future with you…you assumed it", Alpha Jack said throwing her aside.

What were you thinking? We're you thinking I would make you my Luna? Do you really thought of that?

"Do you think I wouldn't find my mate and just because of some fun we both had and enjoyed together, you started assuming and giving yourself dead hopes. You are so shameless" Jack barked, staring spitefully at her.

He couldn't believe she considered herself as his Luna. Not when he had the probability of finding his mate. He found her so why the hell is she throwing herself at him?" He grunted.

Adrene fell down as she broke down in tears. She remembered he never told her he would marry her.

She was the one who assumed that they had a future together.

She was the one who had hope he would never cast her aside. She was the one with hopes.

She never got once thought he would get his mate. since he wasn't searching, she felt relaxed and gave out her heart to him.

She gave her heart, soul and body to him, in hopes of staying by his side till the end, his acclaimed love towards her made her not to think of him leaving her.

All her hopes of being the Luna and bearing the next Alpha of the pack all shattered. She would go back to the street if he leave her.

No... Nothing like that would happen. Jack wouldn't leave her, she would not allow something like that to happen. She would never allow that lady take what belongs to her.

Adrene sniffed and took her gaze to jack who was staring into her eyes with no iota of emotion.

"Please, please don't leave me…I don't think I can take another heartbreak…please Jack, you know how much my world revolves around you…please…please don't leave…", Adrene cried trying to hold Alpha Jack's hands.

"Go back. I am already married and she is my mate", Alpha Jack said stepping back while avoiding her touch.

"Your mate? That's impossible jack. I know you are playing some games on me"

"You're probably teasing me right?You were never destined to have a mate! You know that very well!", Adrene yelled standing up with bloodshot eyes.

Before Adrene could say anything more, Alpha Jack has already gotten close to her as he held her neck. She started gasping for air as she tried to pry his hands from her neck to no avail.

"How dare you! Who the fuck do you think you are? I can kill you now with just a snap of my hand", Alpha Jack said fiercely, tightening his hold on her neck.

"Leave….me…alone…", Adrene pleaded in difficulty, she could hadly breathe, it felt as if her world was coming to an end.

She couldn't believe Jack was trying to kill her all because of that wench. He suddenly casted her like some piece of trash because he got his mate.

"You are just a piece of trash that I cleaned up. How dare you say such blasphemous words. If not for the fact that we were once lovers, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill you", Alpha Jack said as he let go of his hand on her neck, breathing heavily in anger.

Adrene coughed violently as she gasped for air. She couldn't believe Jack almost killed her. It was clear that she meant nothing to him except a replacement till he finds a woman he loves or his mate.

He only came to her just to use her and when he was done using her, he casted her to the bin. What a cruel Alpha who thoughts of nothing else but himself.

He could have at least come to her to gently explain things, maybe she would have understood him. Maybe she would have gently let go and move on with her life. But he didn't, he didn't thought of her feelings.

He didn't ever think he was going to hurt her heart. He just pretended everything was fine and kept coming to her, not until few days ago when e began pretending to be busy.

Adrene realised she had never been in the picture. She was just the one with a wishful thought. She thought she was going to have a complete family but it seems it was all a wish.

A wish that would never come true. She was only dreaming of a better life which she would never have.

She looked at Alpha Jack for one last time with pains in her heart.

Seeing his handsome face that was filled with anger and hate made her heart race. She was supposed to hate him but no, she doesn't. She still loves him.

She really wished she could tear him apart but unfortunately, she is not strong enough. Her legs were too heavy for her to carry.

She drew closer to him, managed to poke his chest hard and with tears running down her eyes and staining her chest, she turned around and ran away.

Away from the second man that broke her heart into fragments. She had to go but she won't let him or his generation be at rest as long as she is alive.

She would never live to see him live happily with another woman. She would torment him until he regrets his actions. And even if he dies, she would never spare his children. That's how much she now hates him.

Adrene changed into her wolf form before taking the forest path that leads to the human world. As she ran, she fell down and scratched her body. Her furs became bloodied.

But Adrene never minded. She kept running the two hours race till she got to her apartment. She changed back into her human form and walked stealthily to Timothy's room. He was still fast asleep.

"Tim, we are alone once again. Alpha Jack had gone from our lives. He doesn't want mum anymore", she whispered quietly to her son who was sleeping soundly.

She kissed his cheek before leaving the room quietly. She broke into tears in her room. She regretted ever making same mistake twice.

He knew she loves him but he never discourage her. He could have at least told her he would leave once he finds his mate but no, He played along just so he can shatter her emotions. She never thought she could be fooled again.

Adrene went to her wine bar and brought out a strong alcoholic drink. She poured glass upon glass of wine as she gulped them all until she became dead drunk.

She slipped into unconsciousness due to the excessive alcohol consumption.

***********

In the middle of the night, Timothy woke up feeling thirsty. His mother always leaves a jug of water on his table but he couldn't find any. So, he got out of bed and knocked on his mother's room several times. But there was no answer.

Timothy decided to go to the living room. Maybe his mother is there. He climbed down to the living room and saw that everywhere was dark. He went to the switch and put it on. He was shocked to see his mother lying on the ground with bottles littered around.

Timothy ran to his mother and tried to wake her up but she remained unconscious. He touched her forehead and noticed she was burning up. Timothy knew her mother wasn't well but he didn't know what to do.

He ran to his room to collect his phone and clumsily dial a number on the phone. He hates using phones and he almost smashed it several times but now he was grateful he didn't.

"Aunt Camille, my mother is not waking up and she is very hot", he said when the person picked the call.

"What happened, Timothy? What is wrong with your mother?", Camille asked, obviously angry at being disturbed.

"Aunt Camille, my mother refuses to wake up and she's hot and…and there are bottles all over the place. Aunt Camille, please come and help my mother", Timothy pleaded.

"Tim, my house is very far from your place. Why don't you go out to any pharmacy and purchase drugs for your mother?", Camille suggested.

"Aunt Camille, I don't know any pharmacy", Timothy said as he began to cry.

"Okay, stop crying already. I will be there very soon. Stay close to the phone and I will call you to come out, okay Tim?", Camille said as an idea began to grow in her head.

"Okay Aunt Camille. I am waiting", Timothy said as he stopped crying.

After about thirty minutes, the phone on Timothy's hands began ringing. He saw his aunt's number and quickly picked it up. His aunt told him to come out of the house. Timothy went to check his mother again before running off to meet his aunt. His mother's head was still hot.

Camille watched as Timothy ran to her. She plastered a fake smile on her face to encourage him but deep down she had already hatched a plan.

She led him into her car and drove to a nearby pharmacy. After buying the necessary drugs, she told him to go and wait for her in the car. Timothy nodded and went out of the pharmacy.

"He is coming out now. I want a neat job", Camille said over the phone.

Camille's car was packed at the other side of the road. Timothy had to cross to get there. But he was too preoccupied with his mother's health that he didn't bother to watch where he was going. As he crossed the road, a car suddenly drove towards him and ran him down.

Timothy was lifted high up by the force from the car and he crashed on the tarred road with his head. His head immediately tore open as he started bleeding severely.

The few people outside at that time started panicking as they rushed towards the little boy. The driver immediately drove away from the scene.

"Whose child is this? ", Different people were asking but none could identify Timothy.

Camille walked up to the scene and saw that Timothy was almost dead. She knew he wouldn't survive it. She smirked and left the place immediately. Her plan had succeeded.

Timothy was taken to a nearby hospital by a good Samaritan. The doctors battled to save his life but it was futile as he was losing lots of blood. After tedious work by the doctors till dawn, they couldn't do anything anymore as Timothy gave up the ghost.

The doctors came out of the theater and demanded to see the boy's family. The good Samaritan had no idea who the boy was but luckily, he saw the phone Timothy was clutching tightly to his hands when he was laying on the ground.

The man brought it out from his pocket and tried to switch it on. After a while, the phone finally switched on but the battery was very low. He tried to call the numbers on the phone but none was picking. He checked the contact list and saw a number saved as "Mother". He dialed the number as he prayed that someone should answer the call.

"Where are you, son? I have been looking all over the place for you…", a woman's voice was heard.

"Madam, can you please come to the Lifelong Hospital? Your son is in a critical condition", a man's voice cuts in.

"What???," Adrene was shocked as the phone went blank.

Adrene didn't have time to think as she immediately ran to her car and drove straight to the hospital mentioned by the person. Immediately she stopped at the entrance, she went straight to the reception.

"My son…where is my son?,"She asked anxiously, staring curiously at the receptionist eyes while looking around to see if she would sight her son.

Before the receptionist could answer, the good Samaritan walked up to her and introduced himself.

"Where is my son?"

"I am sorry madam, the doctors couldn't save him"

Before the man could continue, Adrene went blank and fainted.

Adrene woke up with a drip on her hand. She thought she must be dreaming, her son wasn't dead. It must be a horrible nightmare. She looked around the room she was in. She must be in the hospital but it wasn't her son, right? She tried to get out of the bed with great difficulty.

"Doctor! Who the fuck is here? Get this things out of me! I need to see my son!", She screamed.

Adrene started removing the IV on her hand. After removing it, she got out of the bed and was about to open it when it flung open. Her sister and her husband had come to see her.

"Camille, where is Timothy?", She asked as her body shook.

"Calm down sis, crying won't bring him back. Get a grip on yourself", Camille replied.

"Camille, what do you fucking mean? What are you talking about? Timothy is still alive!", She gripped her sister hard on her shoulder.

Camille was obviously frightened if not for her husband who rushed up to them and removed Adrene's grip on Camille.

"Your son is dead, Adrene. Please don't kill my wife too", Camille's husband said glaring at her.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I killed my son?", Adrene asked as she threw daggers at him.

"You caused his death. He was hit by the car because he went to purchase drugs for you while you lay drunk like an irresponsible mother", Camille's husband spat out. He was trying to hold back his anger. How could a mother be so careless?

"You are lying…. My son would never go out alone!", Adrene kept saying to herself.

"Stop trying to convince yourself. You have already failed, sis…you caused Timothy's death!", Camille said as she broke down in tears.

Adrene was still talking to herself as she finally realized her son was truly dead.
