Chapter Three

Alpha Tyler's POV

One thing I hated was not being in control and the only way I had maintained my position as an Alpha all these while was by feeding off the power, control gave me.

 

Jasmine was making me lose all restraints in a blink of an eye and making me act out, which was very much unlike me.

 

I did it successfully, pretended like she didn't exist, like she wasn’t my Luna, and I wasn’t seeing what they do to her for a year.

 

The plan was to wear her out, but she seemed so strong until she played her master card last night.

 

Waking up to see her blood and having no memory of what had happened triggered and angered me. For a second, I felt like I wasn’t in control and It turned on all the wrong emotions.

Her silence and pretense gave her motives away a long time ago, but never had I imagined that she’d be this devious.

 

It seemed as though a switch was pulled overnight, from seducing me shamelessly to bullying Emily, definitely in a jealous rage.

 

I shut my thoughts as her soft voice had cried out undoubtedly in pain and for a moment, I regretted it almost immediately, but I had a name to preserve.

 

Weakness, especially for a woman like Jasmine, wasn't something I wanted to be judged with.

 

Raising my hand against a woman, especially one publicly tagged as my wife, was against my principles, but it was either I had her leverage over Emily… The future mother of my kids or this.

 

Brought as payment for a debt long overdue, she ruined everything by offering herself on a platter of gold, it was almost as though she wanted this.

 This marriage was imposed on me, I had plans of getting engaged to Emily.

 

It was no wonder why my pack members had more respect for her than for Jasmine, they saw beneath the facade she put on.

 

My wolf struggled to take reins of control. I lost control of my emotions and had Emily slap my Luna before walking away with Emily.

 

Maybe it would put her in her place, like it should be.

 

Upon reaching my office, I slumped on my seat and a crying Emily sat on my lap resting her head on my shoulder.

 

My mind reminisced on this morning, the blood on the sheet made me aware of the fact that I had taken her virginity and I had no memory whatsoever.

 

“Baby” I heard Emily whispered, puling me out of my trance.

 

“Do you think she may have harmed our baby?” Emily asked softly, and a frown appeared on my face, “for her sake I hope not!”

 

We stayed and enjoyed the silence we shared among ourselves.

 

“A word, Tyler”

 

“Tyler? Is that how you address your alpha now” Emily cut in, and I saw a crease appear on Mark’s face?

 

“Alpha” he corrected himself this time in contempt, “a word in private please”

 

“Can't you say whatever you'd like to say here?” Emily cut in once more.

 

“Emily, give us a minute” I ordered, and she stood up instantly but not before grumbling.

 

“You are making a mistake!”

 

“Mistake, you know I don't make those! So what exactly are you talking about?”

 

“Did you even reflect on your actions?” Mark continued ignoring my question

 

“Did you even see the mark your palm left on the face of your LUNA!”

 

“When did you start laying your hand on women?”

 

“Enough of the lectures, I went a mile too far today, and it's the event of this morning that is still irking me”

 

I winced upon remembering the look in her eyes as she held her cheeks while glaring up at me.

 

“You don't deserve anything good, Tyler! Yet, the goddess seems to be blessing you with them regardless”

 

“Get out, I won't have you insult me!” I warned before ordering him out.

 

I buried myself in work to avoid reflecting on my actions, today made a drastic turn for the worst.

 

No way, I was apologizing to jasmine if that was what he wanted to do.

 

No matter how much I did bury myself in work, she ended up in my subconscious.

 

I hated her for making me lose control in so many ways possible.

 

I needed to find her.

 

Upon getting home, the cold and empty house greeted me, there was definitely something different around here.

 

“JASMINE!” I yelled, but I was greeted by the silent night.

 

God help her this night.

 

I stormed to the room but was greeted with its emptiness. My mind immediately started making assumptions, which surprisingly made me angry.

 

No way she would leave, right?

 

I rushed to the wardrobe and sighed. Her clothes were still there, which showed she was around, but where?

 

I wasn't worried, I just needed to have a word with her, and I hated these feelings she was causing to dance through my veins.

 

Knowing she spent most of her time at the library, I stormed over there and was met by the dark and empty room.

 

I searched the garden too, although I have never seen her there, but my search was becoming desperate.

 

There was no way she would leave without anything, right?

 

She was here in the pack, maybe having an affair with God knows who.

 

What was I even doing?

 

Searching for a slut like her? Perhaps this was what she spent her time doing before I returned home drunk.

 

Having fun with the stupid horny warriors while I was away, I am sure she didn't expect me to be home this early.

 

I took a shower and sat waiting for her. It would be fun to catch her in the act of sneaking in.

 

I didn't know how long I waited, but Mark’s presence woke me up

 

“Alpha!”

 

I rose to see him staring at me in surprise, then I checked myself only to see myself holding her robe that was laid flat on the bed.

 

I threw it almost immediately.

 

“Jasmine didn't sleep here”

 

“Exactly what I wanted to come ask if by any chance you sent her somewhere?”

 

“Why?”

 

“The maids said they saw her sneaking off last night with nothing”

 

“I knew it, that slut has been caught in her bed of lies” I yelled and threw the pillow, only for my eyes to come in contact with the envelope underneath.

 

“It's addressed to you” Mark whispered, and immediately I feared for the worst.

 

“Read it”

 

I watched as he ripped it open and glanced through it, his face giving nothing.

 

“What does it say?”

 

“Your Luna is gone, hopefully for your good”

 

“What!” I dragged the paper out of his hands and glanced through. It was reality, she was gone!

 

Jasmine left!

 

I didn’t know what I felt, but it made me feel so out of control.

 

How dare she?

 

“Send the guards to me now!” I ordered.

 

No way, I was just going to let her go, just like that.

 

Wasn’t that what I wanted?

 

So what did I feel this way?

 

I hated it.

 

“Ty, what did I just hear?” I heard Emily whisper, pulling me out of my thoughts.

 

“What did you just hear?” I asked , holding back my anger, this was Emily… My Emily, but at this moment I felt like slamming her head against the wall.

 

“She's gone! Your stupid ass wife is gone!” She squealed before running into my arms, but before she could touch me, my reflex pushed her, making her land on the bed.

 

“Get out!”

 

“Ty?”

 

“It's alpha to you, get out and avoid me until I send for you!”

 

I could feel her eyes judging me, but Jasmine leaving was affecting me in ways that I didn't understand.

 

Not understanding what, I felt, was making me mad. Just yesterday I wanted to teach her a lesson and even show her, her place in my life, but here I was, heart panting wondering where she was.

 

My wolf was more restless than I was, and I’m pretty sure he would have harmed Emily if I had given him the reins.

 

She busted into tears before running out.

 

“Alpha, you sent for us”

 

“My Luna is missing, find her or your family would pay for your incompetence."
