Chapter 84

Alexander's POV

I was sitting in my study going through some files regarding the welfare of the pack. The council had been breathing down my neck for the past month over these files but I needed time to go through them properly before I could approve them. I wasn't going to just sign files without reading them, the lives of my pack members lay in my hands and I can't afford to act carelessly. I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said, removing my glasses and rubbing my eyes tiredly. An omega walked in slowly.

"Good evening Alpha," she greeted with her head bowed.

"Evening?" I replied wondering why she was here.

"The Luna asked me to bring your clothes," she said. My eyes darted toward the bag she was holding. I furrowed my brows. "Clothes for what?" I asked.

"It's for the party later tonight," she responded. I sighed. Hailey was simply impossible. I had specifically told the designer that I won't be going anywhere. I didn't want to go anywhere with Hailey unless it was absolutely necessary and by that, I meant only if it concerned the pack. That was the only thing holding us together anyway.

"Take the clothes back. I won't be needing them," I responded, putting my glasses back on and picking up a file. After standing for a while not knowing what to do, she finally bowed and left. I concentrate fully on my work, not bothering to think about what just happened. I was finally getting somewhere with my work when the door was suddenly flung open.

"My apologies for interrupting. Do you have a minute husband?" Hailey asked as she stood in front of me with her arms crossed.

"I don't. Leave," I ordered curtly.

"The maid told me you rejected the suit I got specially made for you? Why? Do you have another suit you want to wear?" she inquired.

"I don't have any suit, I don't want any because I'm not going anywhere," I deadpanned.

She laughed. "You must be kidding me. We have been invited to the party of the year. Do you know how big and important this party is? All the famous and trendy media will be there. It will be rude to reject an invite to such a reputable party," she replied. I scoffed, glancing up at her. "Rude? You and I know you just want to show off yourself to the media. That's your only purpose of going to the party," I said.

"And is that a bad thing? I deserve to go to this party and I'm going for it," she said stubbornly.

"By all means. You can go to the party where you can show off your new clothes and pieces of jewelry but count me out of it. If you are done here, then get out," I said nonchalantly.

"I'm going to the party with you by my side," she said firmly.

"I'm not going anywhere," I answered.

"I don't think you are in any position to argue about this with me," she said. Her delight was very obvious from the sound of her voice. It didn't sound good at all.

"Look, I'm not in the mood for your...,"

"You seem to have forgotten that your parents will be arriving from their trip in the next three days. If I go to this party alone, they are definitely going to see pictures of me without you. How about I tell them that you vehemently refused to come along with me? I will fill them in on every detail since we got married. The council will replace out that our marriage is in serious crisis. I wonder how they would take that, the pack, your parents, the council," she gasped covering her mouth dramatically. "It will be a complete disaster. Are you going to let everything you worked for go down the drain for just a party?" she asked, staring at me intently.

I stood up from my chair and pinned her on the wall at lightning speed.

"Are you threatening me?" I growled angrily.

"Oh no husband! I wouldn't do that. I was just calmly explaining to you what will happen if I don't get what I want. You know more than anyone what I can do when I get angry Alex, you wouldn't want me to get mad now, would you?" she asked, touching my hair with her finger. I swatted her hand away and she chuckled.

"How about I sever this little head of yours from its original place?" I threatened in a low tone.

"You could but you won't. There will be too many casualties involved," she retorted confidently. I glared at her angrily.

"Look on the brighter side Alex, we will be spending some quality time together. We will have lots of fun. I promise," she whispered, staring at me seductively. She raised her knee and rubbed on the spot between my thighs. I grabbed her leg and flung it backward. She smiled and started to run her hands around my chest and arms. I flung her hand away forcibly and stepped away from her.

"I will send the maid back here with your clothes. Get ready soon," she said with a wink as she blew me a kiss. I punched the wall angrily after she left. I sat back in my chair angry and frustrated. This has been my life for the past six years. I had thought lying to my parents and mating with Hailey would solve every problem I had. It did solve most of my problems with my parents, the pack, and the council. But it did nothing to solve the most important problem I had. Me.

Every single day was torturous for me. I was barely pulling through by burying myself in my work. I could not stand Hailey at all. I had never thought it could be that hard but it was. Having to wake up next to her every morning was something I definitely was not looking forward to. And to think I would have to spend the rest of my life with her. Living like this. I had thought I was just going to get married to her for the sake of the council even if our marriage was not based on love so, I had lied without thinking it through. I never thought about the fact that we would have to give an heir to the pack. I didn't have a choice but to consummate our marriage. I did it with the thought of having an heir in mind, not for pleasure or satisfaction, and that after my duty had been fulfilled, I could go back to ignoring her and pretending she does not exist. I used to like her once, she was one of the most important people in my life. I didn't realize how or when she changed so much and when our relationship turned so sour that we were now threatening each other. She must have always been like this but she hid her true self or she showed it to us but we were just too blind to see it.

I heard a knock on the door before the omega walked in. She bowed and dropped the bag before leaving and gently shutting the door behind her. I glanced at the bag. I could decide to stand by my word and not go to the party with her but could I really risk that? What if she really told everyone about what really happened? Hailey is crazy and she might do it. Can I really risk everything I've worked so hard for going down the drain?

Definitely not. I've endured way too much already. I can't let everything I've done all these years be in vain. It was just a party and it wouldn't hurt to go for it. I picked up the bag standing up from my chair to go get dressed when the door was flung open again. I sighed wondering who the uninvited guest was this time around.

"Philip?" I asked curiously. Why was he here?

"Alex, why did you send me a suit and what party are you talking about?" he inquired, stretching out a bag that looked similar to mine towards me.

"What?" I asked with confusion.

"I got into my room and I met this laying on the bed with a note saying you got this made for me and we would be going for a party this evening," he explained showing the note to me.

I scoffed when I realized what was going on.

"Do you think I have the time to meet with a designer over a suit for a party?" I asked, pointing towards my suit. He thought for a minute before his eyes widened in realization.

"That shameless woman! She didn't have the nerve to send me this herself which was why she wrote your name instead. Did she think I would wine and dine with her? Unbelievable. I'm going back to bed," he said, turning around to leave.

"Go put on your suit. We are going to the party together," I replied which made him halt in his steps.
