Chapter 40
still Bethany's POV
“I'm sorry Graciela. I didn’t mean to hurt you and I never meant to ignore your feelings. I've been so busy with other things and I lost track of time and I...
She turned around and left me standing there, occurring my worst short with her abrupt movement. I stood there gawking her, watching her leave me in her angry state. I sighed frustratedly as I ignored my mission and ran after her. I know it's quits important to find the mole but my friends are more important. I need to find out exactly what is wrong with her, I need to know why she suddenly decided to leave here. She knows how important itis for us to get this money, why would she want to leave without taking hers, or is Dominic forcing her to leave?
“Come on Graciela, I said I'm sorry already. You can't just leave when you feel like, you know. It's not done that way. At least hear me out first, we need to sit down and talk about this, I need to know what's going on, you have to talk to me Ella, you can't leave, not like this” I said pleadingly, trying to get her to stop, but she paid me no heed to me.
“Get off my case Beth, I'm leaving today and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Like I said earlier, I can take car of myself, now run along, go take care of your very important issues.” She said sarcastically, using her hand to draw the quot signs in the air.
“What the hell are you talking about, we still have two days left before we leave, why the hell would you want to leave now? You do know that king Dominic would not give you a dime if you do not comply with his rules, why would you want to through all your hard work away, why do you want to give up just a few days before you take all your money and get the hell out of here, is it your mom, is she in trouble?” I asked continuously, trying to get her to talk to me, but she didn't respond to anybody my questions, she simply walked away, ignoring me completely.
“You know you can't keep ignoring me forever, at some point, you're gonna have to open up to me because I'm the only one who truly understands you. I know I've been so busy and I haven't had time to take check up on you and your sisters, you have to understand that I have my own life to live and right now, my life is even more chaotic than yours has ever been. Just give me a chance to help you, you know I can't let you handle this on your own, I have to know if you are doing the right thing I can't let you ruin your life, Lu as would kill you if you don't have his money by next week, you can't let him hurt your family, I won't let you do that to them.” I told her squarely, coming to stand in front of her.
“I'm leaving Beth, I've got everything under control, there is nothing left for you to do, just let me go” She said sadly, turning to leave the other way, trying to hide the tears in her eyes. I don't know what is going on with her, but I think she isn't happy about this decision of hers, I think he doesn't really want to leave. I can't help feeling that king Dominic has something to dc with all this, I think he is making her leave.
“I'm never coming back Graciela, I've decided to stay here with Dominic." I voice out, making her stop in her tracks as she turned to me with shock registered on her face.
“What the hell are you talking about?” she asked in surprise. I guess it's her turn to ask me questions as she turned to me looking like someone who has just seen a ghost. I took the liberty of walling to her, moving to stand in front of her.
“There is a lot you don't know about me Graciela and a lot of things have happened these few days that I haven't told you “about. Why don't we go to your room and talk about all this, it may take a while before we see each other again. I wouldn't want you to stay angry at me." I told her honestly, offering my best puppy dog smile that always makes her laugh.
We strolled to her room, it is a beautiful guest room on the same floor where she had shared a room with Marcus. Dominic was kind enough to let her have another room, after that horrible incident with Marcus. I'll have to give it to the guy, he can be so considerate, he always treats the people around him with love and respect, although sometimes he acts like a f****g dickhead.
As we sat on her bed, I looked around her room and I noticed that she had already packed all her belongings, she had lied me when she told me that she wanted to go pack, she had already packed up and he is ready to leave here already. I think she would have left without telling me if I hadn't bumped into her in the hallway. I told her about my real relationship with Dominic, I didn't tell her that we are werewolves, I simply told her that we have something serious going on and we are in love with each other. In turn, she told me about her deal with Dominic, how he gave her enough money to cover her debt. Dominic is giving her a few of his men as escorts, they are going to search for a guy named Marco Lorenzo. She said Marco is the Mafia Lord and he is the only one that can help her get her freedom from Lucas.
She looks happy about the whole idea, I know I'm supposed to be happy with her but I just can't help thinking that Dominic has something else up his sleeve. Call me whatever you like, but I just can't trust him completely, he never does anything without a motive, he never makes any decision without thinking of how it would benefit him. I don't care if he has told me not to come anywhere near him, I'm definitely going to make him explain his reasons for wanting to help my friend. He can't tell me that he has suddenly developed a conscience all of a sudden, that is practically impossible.
Ismiled in her presence, letting her believe that I'm cool with all this, but deep within me, I'm super furious at Dominic for using my friend. I don't know what his reasons are, but I know for a fact that he is using her, and it doesn't sit well with me, not one bit. She asked me to go with her as she bids her sisters goodbye. The girls would be staying back for the remaining two days, they'll be coming back with the other girls after King Dominic pays them their money. We found them dressed in their sexy two-piece bikinis, having fun with the other girls at the pool.
They both look happy, so happy. Graciela told them about the king's help and she told them that she would be leaving immediately to go search for the Mafia lord so he can convince Lucas to accept the payment and leave her alone. They were both excited about the news, it means they get to keep their money and they don't have to work so hard again. Graciela told them they could stay in the palace and come back with the other girls, but the girls had other plans, they said they weren't coming back home because they have fallen in love with their companions.
I can understand Fiona's case, she is Dwayne's mate, his one true mate. I'm sure she would not be able to deny the bond between them, but not Ciara. I wasn't aware that she is mated to that guy, I had no idea why she would want to stay here with him, I guess she has fallen in love with him. That is the only explanation I could come up with. Although, now that I think about it, there is something different about Ciara. She seems to be glowing, like really glowing. If I didn't know her before now, I would think that she is a supernatural being, a vampire precisely. She looks like a freaking vampire, with her skin glowing and looking so fresh. I guess she is happy with that guy, like they say, happiness brings out the best in you. So it's quite possible that she is so happy, and it's beginning to reflect on her.
Afew hours after we met with her sisters, Graciela was taken out of the Castle, led away by two guys who looked quite ordinary, but I could tell that they are werewolves, high ranked wolves. I felt the loss of her presence, I know I'm going to miss her, so much. I just have to take care of the girls and out for them until I'm sure that they can protect themselves. I decided to join them in the pool for a few minutes, playing and chatting with them, totally forgetting about my other mission. It was when Harriet came running to the pool to search for me that I realized that I have forgotten to check my phone for king Ashford's response. I wrapped a towel around my body, bidding the girl's goodbye as I followed Harriet back to my room.
When we got to the room, I picked up the phone to send a message to king Ashford, but Harriet took it from me, snatching my two phones from me, smiling evilly as she lay on my bed and turned it on. She had that mischievous smile on her face and I know that she is up to no good. She turned on my phone's cameras, taking some shots of me.
“What are you trying to do?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
“Well, I want to give our king something to be thinking about while he eats his dinner. But this isn't half as sexy as I want it t be, come on take off that towel, I want to see you in your sexy bikini." she let out cheekily, grinning from ear to ear, enjoying her plans.
“You're not sending my n**e pix to him, that's a new leave of low, even for a striper like me." I retorted, looking aghast. She groaned in frustration, standing up to help me take off the towel, chuckling giddily as she helped me dry my body with the towel, leaving me in my lacy black thong and matching bra. She looks so excited to be helping me tease king Dominic, her excitement is getting quite contagious because I'm beginning to love the idea already. I want to see how he would react to seeing me in that sexy red bikini. She took a few shots with my phone, sending them to him.
“If you're done being a nosy b***h, could you please hand me my phone?" I asked her with a smirk. I want to check if king Ashford has confirmed from his mole about the incident at the king's meeting room, I want to know if our plans are working or not.
“Oh, stop pretending already, I can tell that you love my nosy attitude.” She responded cheekly, giving me a smirk of her own, throwing the phone to me. I caught it before it could land on the floor. I was about to scroll to my contacts when I saw the icon on the top of my screen indicating that I have an unread message. I swiped down and clicked on the message, it turns out that it is from King Ashford, it had been sent almost two hours ago, it said...
“Mission incomplete I'm sending someone to finish the job."
“Harriet, hurry
King Ashford is sending someone to finish the job, he knows Harriet, he knows I did not kill them. He said he's sending someone there to finish the job, they are going to kill them in their sickbed. You have to try and stop them, I'll find Dominic and inform him right now, we have to hurry Harriet, we could be too late” I told her hastily as we both ran out the door, going in two different directions. She was going to try and stall the culprit while I go and get the king to come to witness it and catch the mole.
First, I ran up to his room. I knocked so hard on the door, banging as hard as I could, but there was no response. I pushed thy door open, ignoring his earlier instructions, this is more important than his grudges against me. I have to find him right now I walked into his room, calling out to him, going up to his bedroom, searching the bathroom and closet, but I couldn't find him anywhere in this room. I turned around and went to check in his office, I'm sure that this is where he would be. I kept searching for him, asking some people along the way and they keep pointing in one direction so I just walked on, searching for him, heading to his office.
I was passing by the omega’s quarters, walking as fast as I could to get to his office, then I heard his voice, it sounded like moaning sounds, and it was coming from one of the omegas rooms, it came out as a whisper but I recognized it. He wasn't alone, I heard a lady's voice also, I'd recognize that voice anywhere, it's the voice of that proud omega, Bianca. What the hell is he doing with that b***h and why are they moaning?
Something in me was telling me to turn away, but my curiosity wouldn't let me turn away. My heart was beating faster and the pains I was feeling in my heart is now twice as bad, I walked in slow strides, following the sound of their voices, then I saw Dominic, pants down with his d**k buried deep into that w***e. She is bending with her hands touching her toes and Damien stood behind her, f****g her hard, pumping his d**k onto her over and over again.
Istood planted like a tree, my heart is breaking into pieces with no one to pick them up. It feels as if my breath has been knocked out of me, and I find it hard to breadth. The tears spilt out of my eyes, flowing down my cheeks. I begged him for this, I threw my pride and self-esteem away and I begged him to make love to me, but it seems like he prefers her over me, he chose to be with her instead of me. I guess he's been screwing her all this while, that is why she has no respect for anyone in this Castle.
I turned to leave as quietly as I came but I stumbled over a rock that was lying by the side and that was when they both noticed my presence, and he looked up at. with a deep frown on his face, scowling at me,
“What the f**k are you doing here Bethany, weren't you taught on how to knock on a f****g door?
Get the f**k out of my face, Bethany. I thought I f*****g told you to stay the f**k away from me?" he added angrily, making m feel so stupid as I turned around and ran back to my room, leaving Harriet there to carry out this mission by herself.
