Chapter 14: Alpha's Fateful Night

I, Alpha Brian, was out of my mind looking everywhere for Bonnie. She left after I permitted her to go on a one-week paid leave. I think that her disappearance had something to do with that fateful night. I just cannot put a face to the most exhilarating experience that I encountered the night of the party. I felt like I had the most incredible dream that had turned into the worst nightmare. Every time I think about it, I feel the heat all over me. I had a fated mate, the only woman I wanted to be with, so what is this crazy feeling? I know the only way to move forward is to discover what happened that night. The only way to do so is to be hypnotised with that in mind. I, Alpha Brian, will see my pack shrink. I am sending people to Dr. Barney, and now I am going to her; how embarrassing is this?

I walked into Doctor Barney's office and asked if she had a few minutes to spare. She said she would return a few appointments to make time for me. I walked into my cousin Dr. Sarah Barney's office. She came forward and hugged me. She asked me what was going on. I said, "Sarah, I feel like I am losing my mind." She asked me how, and I explained to her. "My fated mate has disappeared, and I believe it has to do with me being unfaithful to her." My shrink said, "Alpha, what did you just say you did? I don't think I hear right. Did you say fated, mate?" I looked at her foolishly. I commanded her, "You, Dr. Sarah Barney, will not tell anyone I have met my fate, mate!" She had to comply with this order. She lowered her neck and said, "Yes, Alpa, Dr. Sarah Barney will never give information about Alpha's fated mate." I explained to her, "Since I am practically still engaged to Elise, I needed this to stay between us. She said, "It would be against the law to give anyone any information from a session. Oh, Alpha, I am so sorry for your farted, mate. Every time you as much as touch a woman with desire, you are killing her. She will go through excruciating pain. Her inside will start to deteriorate slowly."

After hearing this, Brian was in pain, thinking about what Bonnie must have gone through that fateful night. His head was now pounding, and his heart was palpitating and sweating profusely and asking himself, "What have I done? How will he ever make this up to Bonnie? What about every time Elise kisses me? How was Bonnie feeling during those times? What about the young virgin girl who paid the price with her virginity? I remember waking up and seeing blood and semen in specific places on the bed. How will Alpha Brian be able to make it up to her? No wonder Bonnie ran away; she is probably running away from here. Will she eventually die where she went? He kept tormenting himself with all of these questions.

Dr Sarah was guessing what was going through his mind, said. "It is your reaction that causes the damage. If you are an active participant, she will only feel your betrayal. So I believe she would be fine." "Alpha looked at Sarah and said, "I have made a decision now, never to make my fated mate suffer again because of my infidelity." Sarah nodded her head in agreement.

Dr. Barney said, "Alpha, how can I help you make this better." I told her I needed to find out who the woman was that I had slept with that night. She said, "OK, you can do a session with me to learn more about the affair that night using hypnotism. I consented to her suggestion, and the hypnotism session was scheduled for the next day.

My mind was going everywhere as snatches of vision came back to me. The smell of Bonnie intertwined with the emotions and sensations that were screwing with my mind. I can't wait to find out who was the young woman I spent the night with. My mind was all over the place, worrying about how I would compensate that young woman, especially with the known fact that she was a virgin. Yet Damian was nowhere to be found during that night. He was sleeping his lazy ass and not communicating with me. This one time, I needed him badly. He won't surface. I need help badly and quickly before I get out of my mind.

I left Dr. Barney's office quite perplexed. I returned to Walters ' New York office and decided to call Nathan. He said, "Hello Brian, what a pleasant surprise. Don't tell me you miss me when I have been gone for a few weeks." I told him, "To be honest, I do miss you." He asked about the company and if there were any new changes. I told him that Bonnie disappeared and I needed a new assistant. He said, "Call our head hunter, Hilary, and she will send the second candidate to take over Bonnie's job.

Surprisingly, Nathan did not ask about Bonnie, which was odd, considering they were best buddies.

I asked my secretary to move Bonnie's desk from my office to the small room next to hers where the new Administrative Assistant will be more comfortable, and I won't have her in my personal space. My secretary called in maintenance, and the desk was arranged as required.

Next, I called Hilary and asked to send an elderly lady since I did not want a younger woman making a pass at me. It was lousy enough dealing with Elise as my fiance and pining for my mate. These days, Damian is forever sulking for his mate, Sheena. Hilary said, "The second applicant is an older woman. No worries, I sent Mrs. Delta to see you this afternoon. I interviewed her and found she was very competent but was no competition for Bonnie's intuitiveness and her intelligence from a business background. Mrs Delta will be efficient and collected to help you.

She was not Bonnie. She came in and rearranged everything. She was systematic, orderly, and super efficient. However, she did not use her initiative; she needed a list every evening on the next day's schedule.

The next day, Alpha left work early to see his shrink. He drove across town to Dr. Barney's office. On arrival, he went straight to her office. He first noticed his arch-enemy Tobias parked in front of the doctor. He decided to go to the coffee shop nearby to get coffee and a sandwich. As he walked into the store, he smelt vanilla. He took a whiff and remembered the young girl he saved from being raped and mauled by Tobias. Is Tobias in this coffee shop? He did smell his earthy scent, so he knew he had not come to this shop.

On reflection, his thoughts returned to when they were little boys and teenagers. They were very close, almost like brothers. They separated when Tobias started to flirt and molest girls for fun. He saw when Tobias grabbed Jenny in a drunken state and took off to the alley. He walked behind them, and as Jenny screamed no to Tobias, he intervened. He grabbed Jenny away and told her to run. Then he confronted Tobias and punched him in the middle of his face. His nose was broken, and he started to bleed. He pushed him into the alley and told him he would call the police or break his neck if he did not change his behaviour. Since then, Tobias has been going to therapy. Tobias never forgot the grudge and always steered as far away from the Alpha.

He sat drinking his coffee and chatting with Jenny when he saw Tobias leave. When Jenny saw Tobias, she hid in the kitchen as she saw him pass by.

He climbed the stairs to Dr. Barney's office. What he saw when he got there was a total mess. The entire office was thrashed as Dr. Barney sat on her chair, stunned. He walked over to his cousin and hugged her when he entered her office, and then he asked, "Dr. Barney, what happened?" She said, during the session, Tobias shifted and thrashed the room." She explained. Alpha said, "OK, let us change the venue for my session. We can use the sofa in my office. I will send someone to clean up the mess here." They both drove to the pack house, and Alpha let her into his home office

She said, "Now, Alpha, you may lie down. She felt the power of relaxation as she placed the pendulum before him. In no time, Alpha was knocked out in a relaxed and malleable state to start the session.

We will go back to the night of the party. I want you to remember every detail.
