Chapter 40 Chapter 40
"And I am not going to play second fiddle to all of those other girlfriends in this pack that you think I don't know about." She threatened.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"I know that there's more than me. You've been disappearing a lot lately. You never used to do that. You were always checking in with me. But the last couple of weeks, you disappear and you won't tell me where the hell you are. I'm not an idiot. I know that you've got someone else." She said.
"Who?" I asked.
"I don't know. But I'm sure the private investigator that I hired will be able to tell me something." She said.
"What P.I?" I asked.
"Don't worry. He doesn't come from your pack." She said, forcing me to turn around and go back to the party.
If she finds out about Morgan then she will let my whole pack know. And I won't be able to do any damage control here. I had to make sure that she didn't find out about Morgan. And everyone in the pack who knew about our mating, had to help me.
I managed to mind link Ace while I was there and he told me that he was going to go and check on her. He would let me know how she was.
I was forced to stay at that party and smile and act all happy like a blushing groom. Like I was happy about this wedding. But I was anything but happy about this.
I tried to stay away from Penelope as much as possible, but that didn't happen.
She kept such a close eye on me that night that I could make one move without her knowing.
And it wasn't long before friends of hers from her old pack arrived at the party and started celebrating as well.
I sat down on the backstairs at one point and I mind linked Ace again.
I asked him how she was and he sounded really weird when he told me that she was alright. Which made me realize, she really wasn't alright.
She was anything but alright. She had to be miserable right now. And all I want to do is hold her in my arms and tell her that it's going to be okay. But I can't do that while Penelope is here threatening me with her uncle and all of his friends.
I knew that I wasn't liked by the other Alpha's. Because my pack was bigger and stronger and I didn't like to lend a hand to them when they needed help, in case it left my pack open to attack.
They all call me greedy and selfish. But I never cared about that before.
Dad had obviously agreed to this alliance before I took over and they had groomed Penelope to be the exact woman that I would want. This was a long time in the making, and I knew that none of them were going to let me get out of it. Not without one hell of a fight.
The party dragged out so long that night and I had been sitting around drinking for so long. There weren't any speeches or anything.
Penelope was just walking around showing everyone a diamond ring that she had picked out herself and acting like the perfect bride. She was playing the part very well.
After a few hours of putting up with all the giggling girls and guys getting drunk and wanting to fight each other I got a mind link from Ace.
"Alpha. Can you come out the front?" He asked.
So I got up and I walked around the side of the house to the front where Ace was sitting on the stairs.
I looked at him and he looked disheveled, his clothes were torn, he had a bleeding lip and a black eye and my stomach dropped straight away.
"Where's Morgan?" I asked.
"She's gone. She stole my car and took off." Ace said.
"What do you mean she took off? She couldn't have gone that far." I said.
"I've searched the pack and asked all the patrols on guard right now. One of them saw my car leaving the territory a few hours ago. They thought it was me so they didn't stop me." Ace explained.
"She's left the pack." I said.
I then suddenly started getting this stabbing, burning pain through my chest, like my heart was breaking in two.
I fell to my knees and Ace got up and grabbed a hold of me but I pushed him away.
"This can't be happening." I said.
"What is happening?" Ace asked, really concerned.
"She just rejected me." I stuttered out through the pain.
