Chapter 13: The Angry Alpha

The next day, she went to her student counsellor and told him she had a family emergency and did not think she could continue in on-campus classes. However, if online courses were available, she would be willing to attend. He said, "Bonnie, let me consult with my supervisors, and I will call you with our decision." At work the next afternoon, she called Nathan and told him the results. He said, "Bonnie, don't you want to tell Bryan? It is his baby, after all." She said, "No, Nathan, the less people know about this, the better it will be for my baby. I will return home if I can do online classes." Nathan said, "Bonnie, I will finance my niece or nephew and don't worry. You do whatever you think is the best for the baby." With Nathan's support, she now knows she can keep this baby.

Three days later, Bonnie received a call from her doctor's office and started crying. At the same time, Apha Brian walked into the office, rushed over to Bonnie and hugged her. He heard when Damian said, "The Babes," He thought that Damian was referring to Bonnie and Sheena. As he hugged her, he picked up more than one heartbeat and thought, "But that is strange. It cannot be that I am picking up Sheena's heartbeat; that is impossible." That was a passing thought, as he was overly concerned for Bonnie then. He wiped her tears and said, "Bonnie, I hate seeing you cry. Whatever it is, we will help you work through this, and you have my support. She cried even harder." How could she tell him she is pregnant for him? Will he believe the pup is his?

She wiped her tears and told him she was overwhelmed with everything. He suggested to her, "Take a week off and don't worry about your salary; you will be compensated for the week as a mental break time off. He told her to fly back to Scotland and rest. I will call your dad to let him know you are on your way." She held his hand and asked him not to call her dad because she wanted to surprise her parents. (How was she to tell her parents she was pregnant without marriage? They will never accept that from her and for her, and she is aware they will view her condition as a great disappointment to them) Brian obliged her request.

She was relieved when Alpha Brian said she had a week off, which would give her enough time to make arrangements to leave.

She then called Callum her first love and best friend. He said, "Hi Bonnie, how are you? I have exciting news for you. I am no longer in Edinburgh; my brother Cadian now has an IT company in the Cayman Islands, and I am here helping him set it up". Bonnie asked him, "I have a week off.. Can I stay with you two in the Cayman Islands for a bit? I feel overwhelmed with everything here." He told her, "Yeah, for sure. Let me know when you will arrive." She said, "How about tomorrow?" He reassured her that was great. She quickly went online and discovered that Local Airways had the best airline ticket prices. She booked her ticket for the next day. Next, she called Callum and said, 'Hi Cal, I will be on the next flight to Grand Cayman."

That evening, the student counsellor called and told her she could attend classes online. The cogs on the wheels started turning in her favour. All she needed to do was send her semester reports to the Edinburgh Overseas Scholarship Board to show she maintained her grade point average to keep her scholarship. Nathan will finance her and the baby, and Callum says she can stay with him. With all her ducks lined up, she bought a ticket for the Cayman Islands. She told Uncle Cameron and Aunt Camille that she had to go on a school project to an overseas country, and her parents were informed. They gave her their blessings to go on the trip. She is certain Elise would be sighing with relief at her departure.

She then asked Uncle Cameron if he could drop her off at the airport, and he told her, "I am so sorry, Bonnie. I am booked this week and will ask Lionel to drop you off. She went to her room, immediately packed her suitcases, and was dropped off at the airport by Lionel. At last, Bonnie is free from all the drama between Elise and Brian. She will begin her life all over again. She touched her stomach and said," Little one, it is just you and me together in this forever."

The day after she left, Alpha Brian asked his secretary to let Bonnie know he must go with her to an important meeting when she returned. She said, Alpha, I do not think Bonnie is returning to work with the Walters company. I was at the airport picking up my aunt when I saw Bonnie going to the Departure check-in with her suitcases. He said, No, no, no! She is visiting her parents next week." She said, "That was not the terminal for flights to London."

When he heard that Bonnie left early without saying goodbye, this was when Alpha Brian and Damian were angry and livid at himself for making such a colossal mistake, which made Bonnie sick with infidelity his infidelity. Where did his Mate go? He called the airport information only to find no trace of Bonnie leaving the country. It seemed as if someone had covered all her tracks. Where did she go if she did not take a flight back to Scotland? Did she disappear into thin air?

He was bewildered by Bonnie's disappearance. He kept thinking about how awful he was and if she was affected by his unfaithfulness that night. He said, "I bet she could not bear the pain and decided to leave without as much as a goodbye. History shows that when a fated mate has sex with someone else, the other fated Mate feels it immensely; they sometimes bleed through their noses and have heartache and severe stomach ache. They felt as if half of their souls were being ripped out of their being. Brian is contemplating how he will tell Bonnie's parents about his unfaithfulness. Will they understand that he was drugged and was not responsible for what happened, or will they think he is terrible to treat their beloved child awful? What if the person he had sex with becomes pregnant? How will he explain this to Elise, Bonnie, and his parents? He will look like the ultimate bad boy.

He decided to fly to Scotland to find her. He first called Bonnie's dad, Alpha Douglas, to find out if Bonnie had returned home. To his astonishment, Bonnie was not at home. He was afraid that something terrible had happened to her. What if hunters caught her, or she was kidnapped? What if predators got her? He was out of his mind with worry while Damian whimpered so much that he could not concentrate. He missed her scent as well as not seeing her in the office.

He then went to the Rossen household and spoke with Cameron and his family. None of them were aware that Bonnie never returned home to Scotland. Should they send out a lost person advertisement or contact the police? Cameron called Lionel and asked, "Did you drop Bonnie off anywhere else in the country?" Cameron asked. Lionel said, "Mr. Rossen, I drove her straight to the airport, and she went to Terminal Two." That gave Brian hope. He called all airlines at Terminal Two, but no one named Bonnie McTavern left that airport from Terminal Two on the day she disappeared.

Once again, Alpha Brian was livid. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got at himself. When he reached home, he was so angry that he went on a rampage and broke his furniture. His temper was beyond what he could handle. Elise decided to follow him because he looked distraught. By the time she got there, she saw the chaos. She said, "Brian, what is wrong with you?" he said, "It is all your fault! Let me tell you, Bonnie is my fated Mate, and now she is missing. Did you have her kidnapped?" Elise's face drained of all colour? She said, "Our parents agreed to our marriage, and there is nothing I would stop at to prevent that from happening, but I did not arrange for her to be kidnapped. Brian, I do love you." He asked her, "Elise, do you know who drugged someone during the party?"

She was guilty but spoilt as she was, she never took the blame. She told him, "Taylor brought the drug, and it was placed in Nathan's and Bonnie's drink.." By this time, the Alpha was getting more angry. He said, "You stupid woman! Your friend drugged an innocent girl's drink." She said, "Brian, I love you so much. I just wanted you to see how loose Bonnie is. Her drink was not drugged. Someone grabbed her in the bathroom and gave her the drug through an injection, then took her. She probably ended up somewhere else sleeping around with any man."

Brian's rage was increasing by the minute. "My mate had sex with my brother," he roared. I am going to kill him. "He said, "Elise, Leave and never return. This engagement and marriage is off!" I'm not too fond of your evilness, neither can I be around you. You disgust me!"

He decided to bring Nathan back and question him, but he decided to call him instead. When Brian called him, Nathan said, "I was at the party all night and never left, and if you want verification, you may call your Beta Louis. He will tell you we were on a double date that night and hung out together until the next morning." Nathan said, "I cannot leave Milan now because another company is poaching our best IT people." This brilliant CEO's mind started to work overtime. If it wasn't Nathan, then who did Elise throw Bonnie to?

Brian promised he had to investigate this correctly, but he needed to find out where Bonnie spent the night and who she slept with. Being drugged himself, who did he sleep with? Who left when he woke up after? Who was that virgin girl? He is sure if he slept with Bonnie, Damian would know. He had no recollection of what happened during the night, but he knew someone else was there because he could see someone print on the pillow when he woke up. He could remember bits and pieces but no face or scent and wondered if the virgin could be a human.
