Chapter 5

Fira's head did a 360° turn. Did this man just call me his girl? No, she was hearing wrong. Wasn't he the big boss Betty asked her to deliver documents to?

"Nothing's so special about your girl anyway. Just be careful, she might leave you on your engagement and go running into the bed of another, return in the morning in a black dress, different from her engagement gown with fucking love bites all over. Then tada! She's pregnant and thrown out to dwell across the globe!"

Dina was out to shame her sister. Ever since her departure four years ago, she couldn't even enjoy the happiness she had sought. Alan kept thinking about her, kept whining about her, gave her attitude because of her, and deprived her of sex a million times because of her. Her! Her! Her! Now here she was, a gorgeous and to-die-for man behind her. Yet Alan still wanted to play nice.

"I've been kind enough and because of my gorgeous woman here, I'll be kind one last time. If you say anything about my woman again, I won't hesitate to call the guards to throw you out". Skyler spoke through gritted teeth.

He knew the woman that was wrapped in his embrace. Touching her confirmed it. Her body was the same as the woman he rocked all night four years ago after his mother had drugged him to bed that Amara girl. Now, his wolf had just confirmed she was his mate and he would do anything to protect her. But what's with this engagement he's hearing and what's with the pregnancy? Did she get pregnant for him? Did she sleep with another after sleeping with him? The thought of her in another's bed made his blood boil.

"We're so sorry mister. Forgive my woman's manners". Fira gasped.

Woman??

Did Dina go ahead to marry her mate?

"Oh yes Fira, you heard that right. After you went ahead to leave your mate, Alan, on your engagement night, to meet your lover. He couldn't bear the pain. I was there for him after he rejected you and Tada! We're together". Dina was having the time of her life when she watched Mr Handsome behind her sister, contort his face in fury. Now, he was gonna be mad at Fira.

"She is nobody's mate! She's mine!" His voice growled with fury.

"Guards!" Almost ten men came rushing in.

"Take these two away".

"Yes, Alpha Quinn". Dina gasped. Alpha Quinn? She had heard that name before. She didn't even have a chance to explain as she and Alan were escorted out.

"Look what you've caused! Look! Just because you couldn't keep your venomous mouth in place!" Alan was on her the minute they were outside.

"Whose fault is it that I was so bitter? You. Whose fault is it that I hated her? You. You! You! You! It's all about you. Because I love you. I hate her because she embarrassed you about your engagement. Fled to be with another man. I'm bitter because, after all these years, you still won't stop thinking about her!" Dina was furious.

Alan walked out on her and into the car. He was furious. Furious. How could Fira do that to him? Yes, he knew he rejected her but still, he felt she belonged to him. Only him! No one else is allowed to have her. Not even some Alpha Quinn!

"Are you getting into this car or do you have another ride?"

Dina huffed and got into the car, slamming the door shut harshly.

Back inside the hotel, Fira was rooted in the spot, stunned and full of pain.

"Let's go back inside". Mr Quinn said.

"I'm sorry sir but I need to go now. Ms. Betty will be waiting for my return and I have a lot of work to do in the office". She wanted away from this man. His touch seemed to tick something off in her.

"Oh! Betty can wait. Gary, call Betty and tell her Miss Fira here won't be coming back soon and someone else should take up whatever workload she had or rather, it be suspended fill she's back".

Fira wanted out of here. What made Betty avoid this place had caught up with her.

"Will you come back in with me now or should I carry you myself?"

"Sir....I". She stuttered and before she knew it, she was off the floor.

Fira squeaked.

"That's very unladylike". Mr Quinn said as he dropped her on the bed.

"Excuse us, Gary". He dragged a chair and sat in front of Fira as the other man left.

Fira wanted to wee herself. She couldn't be left alone with Mr Quinn.

"Do you mind explaining what happened between you, your mate, and your sister?" Pain flashed through her eyes. She didn't want to relive her past.

"Can I please use the restroom?"

"Very well then". He adjusted and gave her room to walk out.

Skyler watched her retreating backside. Her shape was enough to make a man go gaga. What's more? She was amazing in bed. He still couldn't forget that night. Even after four years. He couldn't even get tangled with another woman because he had been waiting for her. Now she has returned and he's hearing about a canceled engagement with her mate and a pregnancy. Yes! Pregnancy. That's the number one thing he wanted to hear about.

"Are you having problems with your urinary bowel?" He called out. She had been in there forever.

"No Sir". She called out.

"Are you having issues dressing up or undressing? Should I come to help you?"

"No sir!" She screeched and she was out the door.

Skyler smirked.

"Now?" He ushered her back to the bed.

"Sir please this is a very sensitive topic I don't wish to share". Fira started.

"Oh! But you have to cause after calling you my woman, I want to make you my woman".

Fira was horrified.

"Sir please no. I don't wish to be your woman". He gasped and she shrunk into the bed.

"You reject me?" The word 'reject' caused tears to blur her vision.

"I didn't mean to make you cry but you can cry on me all you want". He was beside her, engulfing her in a hug.

Fira cried her eyes out and when she was done, she started.

"Four years ago, I was supposed to get engaged and then married to the man that had just left, Alan. He was my mate. My sister had come in to get some help with putting on her necklace. She had come with a glass of juice. That was the last thing I could remember. I had opened my eyes to see myself in a hotel room. I was shocked and in a frenzy to go when I noticed there was a man in there". She sniffed and continued.

"I was scared and confused. I wanted to go. He insisted I stayed and that he wasn't going to hurt me. But he did. He made love to me all night and when I woke up, I was weak. I mustered the last strength in me and went to the bathroom. After cleaning up, I put on a black gown I had seen in the bathroom as my engagement gown had been shredded and was in a heap on the floor. Getting home". Fira broke down into another sob.

"Getting home, my mother slapped me so hard. I was ridiculed, called a slut by everyone. I don't know what fake story they had been fed with but everyone concluded I had run away to be with a lover. But I couldn't blame them. There were love bites all over me that I had failed to notice". She chuckled softly.

"Perhaps this man was good in bed". Skyler chipped in with pride.

"Actually yes". Fira chuckled again and Skyler's pride touched the roof.

'Wait till you get a taste of him again. He has been waiting all these years for you. Skyler spoke in his mind.

"So?" He urged her on.

"My mate, Alan, rejected me. I couldn't blame him. But I was bitter that he couldn't even let me explain. A few weeks passed and it was discovered that I was pregnant. My parents threw me out of the house and gave me some money, asking me to leave. I had to leave the country. I struggled all on my save for the old woman that sheltered me. There I birthed my son. He is my pride and my everything. After a little while, I came back here and began working in the company till this day sir".

Skyler was elated. This woman had stirred something deep inside him. A son! He had a son. He couldn't help but ask.

"Did you perhaps sleep with another man after your supposed engagement night?"

"No sir. That man had even been a mistake. I loved Alan". Anger sipped into Skyler's bones, hearing her confess her love for the douchebag.

"And you are certain the child was the other man's?"

"Very certain sir. At first, I wanted to abort the child". Skyler growled lowly.

"But then I said no. I'll give him up for adoption. But when I birthed him, I felt a strong bond with him. I couldn't just give him up".

"What's your son's name?"

"Miguel".

"I'd love to meet him sometime". Skyler's eyes glinted with undeniable excitement.
